What forecasters said that day

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.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 10, 7:49 PM CST, 2 hours 17 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Shreveport LA
749 PM CST Fri Dec 10 2021

.UPDATE...

Environmental parameters from the 11/00Z SHV sounding indicate an
atmosphere that is conducive for severe weather tonight,
especially along and north of the I-30 corridor with large hail
already reported in southwest Arkansas from this first round of
convection. Impressive amounts of instability with CAPE just above
2000 J/kg, effective shear over 60 knots, and mid-level lapse
rates of 7 C/km altogether have prompted the issuance of Tornado
Watch #555 until 11 PM CST.

High-resolution guidance suggests that the current discrete storm
mode will transition to a linear mode overnight as it shifts
southeastward into Louisiana parishes. Forecast grids have been
adjusted to account for all severe weather potential at the moment
with additional updates forthcoming. /16/
