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 Oct 27, 6:08 AM CDT, 3 hours 33 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 27, 6:08 AM CDT, 3 hours 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 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. /44/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
