Area forecast discussion, Jun 2, 6:11 PM CDT, 4 hours 4 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Shreveport LA 611 PM CDT Sun Jun 2 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Monday Morning) Issued at 248 PM CDT Sun Jun 2 2024 Focusing on Tonight through Monday morning... Dense overcast from early this morning has started to scatter out and a cumulus field has been left in it's place across the region. Though local temperatures struggled to climb this morning, the introduction of diurnal heating from extra sun exposure has allowed for temperatures to climb into the mid to upper 80's across areas of the Ark-La-Tex. Similarly, a tight moisture gradient south of the FA this morning has quickly advanced northward, supporting Td values in the low to mid 70's. To the west, a complex of thunderstorms across north Texas and SW Oklahoma has formed into a broad MCS that is advancing east- southeast, approaching in and around the DFW metro over the next few hours. Given mesoscale parameters depicting rapidly increasing instability locally, and the stubborn NW flow regime across the southern US, this will need to be closely monitored for downstream impacts. Given the lack of model handling, mesoanalysis will be crucial to determine the potency, and impact that this complex has on local convective coverage this evening. Overnight, and again depending on any impacts from what occurs from the convection out west, conditions should trend quiet to start, but once again hi-res CAMs and HREF solution depict possible MCS development from convection firing along a dry line along the TX/NM border, working east, and entering the Four State sometime close to sunrise, if not an hour or so earlier. While convection is expected out west, uncertainty surrounds the additional extracurricular MCS formation that CAMs have proposed. Therefore, have worked lower end PoPs for the time being to cover the possible development through the morning. Evening guidance and real-time analysis of convective initiation in that region should help assist overnight thinking. On the temperature front, once again expect lows in the upper 60's and low 70's across the region. Close T/Td relation following passing storms and saturated soils will support patchy fog through the mid to late morning. As a result, have added this to the forecast through sunrise, though it could exist a few hours after. This will again depend on the possible secondary convective development by the morning which again remains uncertain. Highs tomorrow will again approach 90 deg F for many as the pattern remains in place to start the new week. RK && .LONG TERM... (Monday afternoon through next Saturday) Issued at 248 PM CDT Sun Jun 2 2024 Monday afternoon through the end of the period... Another severe risk will cover the Ark-La-Tex Monday afternoon as a Slight Risk has been drawn up across almost all of the SHV responsible counties and parishes. Quick atmospheric recovery, along with a persistent NW flow regime, will once again support the initiation of thunderstorms northwest of the FA, that may evolve into another bowing MCS, developing a strong cold pool, and ultimately work into the Four State Region through the mid to late afternoon and evening of Monday. Model agreement in the short run is something to take away here as guidance has struggled with convective initiation and evolution of recent bowing MCS events over the last week. That being said, main concern here will be the threat of damaging wind, hail and the chance for a tornado or two. Looking beyond Monday, the pattern continues to suggest that NW flow will hang around through about mid-week as upper ridging builds to the west across the Four Corners. The subtle influence of the ridge however may be enough to support a daily increase in MaxT's as highs approach the middle 90's by the end of the period before a progged frontal passage stops temps from climbing any higher. Still some uncertainty in the long range on just how much of an impact the front will bring, but for now it remains something to look forward to. At the same time, given the NW flow pattern, can not rule out additional long track bowing segments through the week. This pattern is one of uncertainty, and something to take day to day. RK && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 611 PM CDT Sun Jun 2 2024 MVFR conditions will continue this evening, although an approaching MCS over SE OK/N TX will spread SE into the region this evening, likely affecting much of the region even through a portion of the overnight hours. Have better timed VCTS with tempo thunder mention for the affected terminals this evening based on current extrapolation of the convection, while also adding VCTS in for ELD by 04Z. This convection may affect MLUby/after 06Z, but low confidence precludes mention attm, and will address with amendments or possible the 06Z TAF issuance. This convection should also leave behind a cold pool bndry over Deep E and SE TX into WCntrl LA overnight, which will be the primary focus for isolated to scattered convection once heating increases during the day Monday. The cold pool associated with the evening/overnight convection should delay the formation of IFR/low MVFR cigs through much of the overnight hours, and not occurring until 12Z or later Monday. Have delayed cig mention until this time for all but TXK/ELD, where additional scattered convection may develop over SE OK/portions of SW AR through mid to late morning. Any low cigs should gradually lift by mid to late morning, with VFR cigs returning areawide by midday, persisting through the afternoon. Did add VCTS for the E TX terminals by 20Z, as scattered convection should again develop by mid-afternoon across Lower E TX/NCntrl LA. SE winds 4-7kts, except VRB and gusty in/near the convection, will become S 6-12kts after 15Z. /15/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

A complex of thunderstorms is ongoing across southern Oklahoma and north Texas, en route to the Ark-La-Tex. This may work into the region through the afternoon and evening if it maintains strength. Overnight, we may see another complex of thunderstorms arriving in southeast Oklahoma and southern Arkansas by daybreak. Any of these thunderstorms may be strong, but severe storms should be limited to isolated coverage, both today and overnight with lightning, gusty winds and brief heavy downpours. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms will persist to some extend during the work week. However, the coverage and intensity of thunderstorms should see a decrease each day through Thursday. Then, we can expect another weak cold front to arrive on Friday with more widespread thunderstorms ending overnight. Then look for a nice weekend for a late spring change of pace. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation may be needed.
