HAZARD...Tornado.

SOURCE...Radar indicated rotation.

IMPACT...Flying debris will be dangerous to those caught without 
         shelter. Mobile homes will be damaged or destroyed. Damage 
         to roofs, windows, and vehicles will occur.  Tree damage is

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Shreveport LA
1116 PM CST Sat Jan 8 2022

.AVIATION...
For the 09/06z TAFs, scattered convection continues just north of
a diffuse surface boundary near the Interstate 10 corridor. KLFK
will be the TAF sites most affected during the period. Farther
north, more spotty showers have begun to develop. Current thinking
is that additional showers and thunderstorms should develop across
Southeast Oklahoma and East Texas, which will then gradually move
eastward across the terminals. All TAF sites will likely be
affected at some point. The convection should be ending from west
to east before 09/18z and should exit the area entirely before
sunset.

Flight conditions will be highly variable, but ceilings are
generally expected to fall into the IFR/LIFR range at most
locations. Some patchy fog may also develop, especially where
there was heavy rain previously, or south of a line from KJSO to
Columbia LA. Visibilities should improve after sunrise, and
ceilings should gradually lift after the precip ends. A cold front
will also move southeast across the area after 09/12z. Surface
winds will veer to the north after the frontal passage and
increase in speed to up to 15 kts with gusts near 25 kts. These
winds will help to bring some drier air into the region helping to
raise ceilings back into VFR range at all terminals after 10/00z.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1017 PM CST Sat Jan 8 2022/

UPDATE...
A very diffuse warm front is located near or just south of the
Interstate 10 corridor and trails eastward from a weak surface low
between Houston and Lufkin. So far, the more robust convection
that precipitated the issuance of Tornado Watch #13 has remained
south of our forecast area. The 00z KSHV sounding indicated more
than enough storm-relative helicity in the 0-3 km and 0-1 km
layers to support rotating thunderstorms and a tornadic threat.
However, the vast majority of the instability has been focused in
Southeast Texas. Only the northeast periphery of the CAPE axis has
been located in Deep East Texas surface-based CAPE values are only
between 500-1000 J/kg. Farther east along the warm front and to
the northeast, instability decreases rapidly, as reflected by how
quickly the convection has weakened across Central Louisiana.

With the convection generally staying south of our area and the
tendency for it to weaken with northeastward extent, our portion
of Tornado Watch #13 was allowed to expire at 04z. However, new
development is already occurring farther west across Central and
Northeast Texas as ascent increased ahead of a strong cold front
diving southeast across the Plains. An isolated severe storm
cannot be ruled out through the remainder of the night.

Some minor edits were made to short-term PoPs and the hourly
temps, dewpoints, and winds to better reflect recent obs. However,
the overall forecast through the rest of the tonight remains
intact.

CN

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 608 PM CST Sat Jan 8 2022/

UPDATE...
See below for the 09/00z Aviation Discussion.

Scattered convection has continued to develop and intensify from
Southeast Texas northward through the ArkLaTex. The convection
across Southeast Texas has been particularly robust. Low-level
shear has been sufficient for rotating thunderstorms and this
environment extends northward into Deep East Texas immediately
east of a weak surface low. Therefore, Tornado Watch #13 was
issued for portions of Deep East Texas until 04z this evening.

CN

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 324 PM CST Sat Jan 8 2022/

SHORT TERM.../Tonight through Sunday Night/

Convection has become numerous as expected this afternoon across
the Wrn half of the region, along an expanding H925-700 theta-e
ridge along a 40-50kt SWrly LLJ axis, embedded within a low
amplitude shortwave trough ejecting NE over E TX into SW AR/much
of LA. Much of this convection remains a bit elevated, with small
hail possible from the stronger storms given the low freezing
levels/WBZ heights. However, the afternoon sfc analysis indicates
a warm front over SE TX/SW LA, extending from near a DKR, to just
N of a LFK, to DRI and LFT line. More sfc based convection has
developed S of the front over SE TX, where better MLCapes of
1000-2000+ J/Kg exist. This front and accompanying warm sector should
continue to expand N through the remainder of E TX/N LA/SW AR
this evening, with min temps occurring at the start of the first
period (tonight) across extreme NE TX/SE OK/SW AR, before temps
rise later this evening/overnight with the warm frontal passage.
Did have to lower the NBM temps up N this evening given their lack
of warming up N this afternoon, and bumped temps up a tad over
Deep E TX/N LA as temps will not fall much this evening. The NBM
has lowered pops slightly from earlier runs tonight, with some
variability amongst the ensembles and deterministic progs, but did
maintain categorical pops for much of N LA/SW AR while tapering
pops back slightly over E TX/SE OK as drier mid/upper level air
behind the weak troughing begins to entrain E into these areas
tonight. However, additional large scale ascent will increase
late tonight in advance on a longwave trough noted from the Nrn
Plains through the Rockies and Four Corners Region, which will
translate E into the Plains late. Ample deep lyr shear will
persist overnight, with the expanding warm sector yielding upwards
to 500-1000 J/kg of MLCape within steeping mid-level lapse rates.
Thus, an isolated strong to svr storm can not be ruled out (with
hail, winds, and even an isolated tornado possible), mainly over
E TX/N LA/far Srn AR, which will shift E into the Ern sections of
NCntrl LA by/after daybreak Sunday.

Did maintain categorical pops Sunday morning for the Ern zones,
although a deep wedge of drier air will begin to quickly advect E
across E TX/SW AR/N LA in advance of a cold front that will begin
shifting SE into the region, thus tapering the convection by
midday across N LA. Max temps will occur Sunday morning mainly N
of I-20 ahead of the front, before temps fall with the onset of
cold advection with the cold fropa. Did raise max temps a bit over
the warm sector of N LA, as temps should warm with the departure
of the convection by late morning, with a return of colder
conditions with the fropa Sunday night. Despite the low cigs
associated with the passage of the H850 trough Sunday night, cold
advection will remain strong enough such that temps should fall
back below freezing generally N of I-20, with a gradual clearing
trend (aside from the lingering cirrus along/beneath the upper
trough axis) expected for Monday.

15

LONG TERM.../Monday through Saturday/

Monday's chilly start will not be followed by a rapid return to warm
temperatures , as brisk northerly winds will keep temperatures below
average for the start of the workweek. Highs Monday afternoon will
struggle to climb out of the low to mid 50s areawide, dropping to or
below the freezing mark Tuesday morning. Together with these cooler
conditions, mostly clear skies and dry weather will dominate through
the middle of the week, gradually warming with each day as the upper
level trough departs to our east and a southerly flow regime
rebuilds in its wake. By Wednesday and Thursday, we will be looking
at highs in the upper 50s and low to mid 60s throughout the
ArkLaTex.

As the week continues, an upper level low developing over the SW
CONUS and NW Mexico will eject eastward, bringing a renewed chance
of rainfall to our western zones Thursday afternoon, spreading
across the ArkLaTex overnight into Friday, with wet and warmer
conditions remaining in the forecast areawide as next week draws to
a close and the weekend begins, with rainfall departing at the
earliest during the day Saturday. The most recent model runs have
slowed the progression of this system down considerably, on the
order of a day or so. Will continue to monitor closely to ascertain
a better consensus in subsequent updates. Another upper level low
looks to be setting up right on the heels of this first rainmaker,
so any drier conditions may prove to be short-lived.
