The local office's own words before this special weather statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Shreveport, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at May 10, 12:51 PM CDT, 17 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 10, 12:51 PM CDT, 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Shreveport LA 1251 PM CDT Mon May 10 2021 .AVIATION... IFR with occasional LIFR cigs will persist through much of the 18Z TAF period across much of E TX/N LA, while some slightly drier air backdooring SW will maintain low MVFR cigs across SW AR this afternoon and evening, before they diminish to IFR late tonight. Sct strong/svr convection continues to develop/slide SE into NE TX, but should stay N of the TYR/GGG terminals, but possible affect TXK/SHV by mid to late afternoon. Additional convection may develop farther E across Srn AR before diminishing by early evening. A weak cold front will also seep S into Deep E TX/NCntrl LA this afternoon, possibly sliding S of the area this evening although it may waffle back N a tad Tuesday morning. Sct convection is expected to redevelop by mid to late evening across NE TX/SE OK/SW AR and possibly NW LA, affecting all terminals except LFK. This convection will result in IFR cigs redeveloping across SW AR late this evening/overnight, even as the convection diminishes from W to E by/after daybreak. However, additional convection will develop by mid to late morning across E TX, which will shift E and become numerous by midday through the afternoon Tuesday, maintaining IFR and reduced vsbys over much of the region. NE winds around 10kts this afternoon will only diminish slightly to 5-8kts after 00Z. /15/ && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1113 AM CDT Mon May 10 2021/ SHORT TERM... The morning sfc analysis indicates our weak cold front continuing to ooze S across portions of Lower E TX/NCntrl LA, having shifted just S of the I-20 corridor of E TX and N LA. Some areas of -RA/-DZ too light to be detected by radar has developed near and just behind the front (as indicated by the latest sfc obs), with the 12Z KSHV raob depicting the moisture profile confined to the lowest 9kft. However, the upper air analysis depicts the lingering H850 trough in VC of the Red River of Srn OK/N TX extending into the Nrn sections of SW AR, where sct elevated convection has developed in association with a weak/subtle perturbation in the zonal flow that appears to be traversing the Red River Valley. MUCapes currently range from 1000-2000 J/kg across this area in the presence of steep mid level lapse rates ranging from 7-7.5 C/km, with the 12Z NAM suggesting that some of this elevated instability may advect back ENE into NE TX/SW AR/N LA during the afternoon. Thus, an isolated svr threat (due to hailers) will be possible late this morning through the afternoon mainly N of I-20, as depicted by the 12Z NAM and latest CAMs. Have expanded high chance pops farther E into SW AR/more of E TX, with low and mid chance pops elsewhere, with the higher end pops across Deep E TX/WCntrl LA closest to the front. Did not make much adjustments to max temps other than to lower temps slightly across SE OK/portions of SW AR, with readings likely not rising much during the day. Zone update already out...grids will be available shortly. 15 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS... SHV 68 58 66 58 / 30 60 80 80 MLU 66 57 68 59 / 30 60 80 90 DEQ 63 52 60 52 / 50 60 80 60 TXK 63 53 60 56 / 50 60 80 70 ELD 64 53 62 53 / 40 60 80 80 TYR 69 57 66 57 / 40 60 80 80 GGG 69 56 66 57 / 40 60 80 80 LFK 77 63 74 62 / 50 60 80 80 && .SHV WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
