Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Shreveport LA
1103 AM CDT Wed Oct 27 2021

.UPDATE...

As expected, a squall line is growing in intensity as it pushes
through the Arklatex and toward Central LA. Instability is
definitely higher south of I-20 in advance of the line, but there
is enough marginal instability to the north to be concerned with
at least isolated severe wind gusts and a brief tornado cannot be
ruled out. But along and south of I-20 the brief tornado and
damaging wind gust threat is a bit higher, although there is a
question as to whether low level wind shear profiles are quite
high enough to foster a solid squall line tornado threat. We are
putting up a special weather balloon right now to help further
evaluate the details of low level instability and wind shear.
Expect this line to advance east/northeast through the region into
the early afternoon hours with still some potential for a
secondary convective line to develop over the northern half of
zones along the actual cold frontal zone and strong upper low
synoptic lift coming in from later this afternoon into early this
evening. Some severe weather threat may remain with this secondary
line later, although the predominant threat is definitely with the
initial line moving through right now.

Otherwise, tornado watches have previously been put in place for
all areas (except Union and Ouachita Parishes) ahead of the squall
line south of the AR/LA border. These watches expire at 4 PM CDT,
but we will be canceling most areas following the squall passage.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 608 AM CDT Wed Oct 27 2021/

AVIATION...

Patchy MVFR cigs to continue ahead of a cold front and associated
tstms presently ongoing across N TX and ern OK. Line of storms to
move into the area right at the start of the pd, continuing ewd
across our region through 00Z Thursday, with some very strong
winds and low flight categories possible invof convection.
Although more uncertain, a secondary line of storms may develop
shortly behind the first, which would primarily impact our S AR
terminals. Improvement to VFR conditions will begin from w to e
around 18Z and conclude prior to 06Z tonight. Otherwise, gusty
sely winds ahead of the front will become wly to nwly after
fropa. /12/

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 325 AM CDT Wed Oct 27 2021/

SHORT TERM.../Today through Thursday/

Potent longwave trof movg into the Plains this morning already
fueling a line of strong to severe storms roughly along the I-35
corridor of OK/TX. This line of storms, according to the latest
model guidance, will arrive at our wrn edge right around sunrise.
Very strong deep-layer and low-level wind shear will intersect
with a moist and at least moderately unstable airmass present
across the srn half of the region. As such, see no reason why this
line of storms won't continue its ewd march with the threat for
wind damage and isold tornadoes firmly taking shape during daytime
heating along the associated dryline/Pacific front. Shortly on the
heels of the dryline/Pac front, the main cold push along a
secondary push of energy around the base of the upper low will tap
into lingering weak instability across the nrn half of the
region, resulting in perhaps another line of convection later this
morning. There does appear to be a non-zero threat for these
storms to also reach severe limits, with damaging winds/isold
tornadoes the primary concerns.

Convection should be e of the region by the middle part of the
evening. Some additional shwrs in wrap-around moisture along the
swrn flank of the upper low will be possible, mainly n of I-20
through the overnight and morning hours of Thursday. However, the
bigger story for Thursday will be the gradient winds. Latest model
guidance pins portions of our region with sustained winds in the
25-30 mph range with gusts of around 40 mph. Fully expect wind
headlines to be needed, but will defer those to later shifts to
decide exactly what headline will be needed and to allow for the
severe threat to remain the primary story for this cycle. Strong
CAA will bring below normal max temps in the 60s at most sites
for Thursday. /12/

LONG TERM.../Thursday Night through Tuesday Night/

A very active weather pattern in the short-term will transition into
much quieter weather for this long-term forecast period. Behind the
front, the region will remain under NW flow for some time, allowing
for both afternoon highs and overnight lows to remain well below
average. However, look for the 500mb flow to finally take a more
zonal shift to start the next workweek. This will allow for
temperatures to begin warming, albeit only back up to a seasonal
feel. The most notable item in the long term will be the winds
through Saturday. The pressure gradient behind the front will remain
incredibly tight for some time, allowing for very strong winds
across the region. Wind headlines will likely be needed into the
weekend, with the extended of the headlines to follow in subsequent
forecasts.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of south central
Arkansas, southwest Arkansas, north central Louisiana, northwest
Louisiana, southeast Oklahoma, east Texas and northeast Texas.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight...

Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible areawide today,
as a strong cold front moves east across the region. The threat
looks to begin as early as daybreak in our western zones of east
Texas, with the greatest chance of severe weather along and south
of the I-20 corridor. The primary threats associated with this
line look to be damaging winds, and an isolated tornado or two
cannot be ruled out. After the threat diminishes Wednesday evening
as the cold front departs to the east, gusty west/northwest winds
can be expected overnight and into the day Thursday, with some
gusts reaching as high as 40 mph.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday...

Strong gusty winds will remain possible under a tight pressure
gradient through Saturday. Wind headlines will likely be issued in
the wake of the severe weather today. At times, winds my be
sustained over 20mph, with gusts over 40mph possible.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Activation of emergency management personnel, amateur radio
operators and storm spotters may be needed throughout the day
Wednesday.
