Area forecast discussion, May 21, 9:48 PM CDT, 1 hour 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 948 PM CDT Sat May 21 2022 .UPDATE... Afternoon forecast package looks to be on track, not necessitating any significant updates this evening. The frontal driven convection extending from deep east Texas into southwest Arkansas continues to develop as it propagates eastward, with some isolated pre frontal convection reaching severe criteria as well. Meanwhile, an outflow dominant QLCS is pushing eastward into deep east Texas, where it will interact with a very unstable airmass characterized by CAPE values exceeding 4000 J/kg and steep lapse rates. Severe Thunderstorm Watch 258 remains in effect until 1:00 AM CDT. /26/ && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 616 PM CDT Sat May 21 2022/ AVIATION... For the 22/00Z TAFs, conditions will deteriorate through the evening hours as thunderstorms enter area airspace from the north and west. Some of these storms may become severe before 22/04Z, with impacts concentrated at first from KTYR to KTXK. Other terminals should anticipate impacts of strong to potentially severe storms overnight and into the morning as the line gradually pushes east. Thus, carrying widespread SHRA and TSRA, as well as MVFR/IFR ceilings, possibly as low as LIFR. Visibilities will likewise deteriorate in locally heavy rainfall. Will amend with TEMPO groups as needed as shower/storm activity progresses. /26/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected by late afternoon into the evening and overnight hours as a strong cold front shifts into the region. Some storms may be strong to severe with damaging winds and hail possible, along with a non-zero tornado threat that cannot be completely ruled out. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday. Additional thunderstorms will be possible through the remainder of the weekend into much of next week as the cold front will stall near the coast and lift back northward Monday as a warm front. Meanwhile, multiple upper level disturbances will transition across the region through mid week and bring locally heavy rainfall with some storms. These periods of heavy rainfall may present some possible flooding concerns through the middle of next week with total event rainfall amounts generally expected to range between 3-6 inches along with isolated totals possible. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Activation of emergency management personnel, amateur radio operators, and storm spotters may be needed today and tonight. 19
