What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning 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 river flood warning went out at Jan 26, 5:38 PM CST, 2 hours 45 minutes earlier.

...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Saturday Night)
Issued at 1257 PM CST Fri Jan 26 2024

So we finally got rid of the fog for the most part with still some
isolated spots with some lower visibility attm. Seeing a few
breaks in the OVC down south across Deep East Texas as well.
Looking at water vapor imagery, abundant dry air aloft encompasses
just about our entire region with the present cloud cover
accompanying the lower levels of the atmosphere only. Water vapor
imagery also shows well our next rain maker beginning its trek out
of the Intermountain West and into the Southern Plains/Upper Red
River Valley. Supporting lift downstream of the trough itself is
resulting in widespread rain with embedded thunder across NW TX
attm while we have seen an uptick in convection along the S LA
Coast which is not necessarily associated with the upstream
trough but due to sfc convergence along a stalled frontal boundary
and a persistent upper shear axis remnant from our trough earlier
this week. As the upper trough nears our region from the west
this evening, will watch the right rear quadrant of a 120kt upper
jet streak move across the Middle Red River Valley of NE TX/SE OK
and SW AR that will only enhance upward forcing to produce
widespread showers and isolated thunderstorms this evening and
especially during the overnight hours.

While there will not be any kind of low level warm sector return
from S LA to speak of as sfc based instability appears to be
non-existent, the 850mb theta-e analysis does show a returning
elevated front moving north towards the I-20 Corridor of N LA
overnight and therefore, this appears to be where the heaviest
rainfall should fall near and south of this boundary tonight. This
upstream trough is a fast mover so the window of moderate to
heavy rainfall will be rather small overnight before we lose the
upper level forcing quickly to our north and east Saturday
Morning, deterministic 12z model QPF output has increased slightly
for this event tonight compared to their output 24 hours ago.
Have therefore beefed up rainfall amounts slightly across mainly
the eastern half our our region with this event with one to two
inches possible with isolated higher amounts, especially across
our far southeast zones. Across the western half including all of
NE TX into SE OK, amounts near or less than one inch still a
pretty good bet.

As mentioned above, forcing in association with the upper trough
should quickly pivot to our north and east Saturday Morning with
the rainfall ending with it. Don't think clouds will clear on
Saturday as we will likely see this happen Sat Night into Sunday
across the region.

13

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday through next Thursday)
Issued at 1257 PM CST Fri Jan 26 2024

We will be on the backside of the upper trough on Sunday which
should be across the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, into the Lower
Miss Valley to begin the day. Our region will remain in northwest
flow aloft through at least Wed as strong upper ridging is fcst
to build across the Intermountain West through at least Tuesday
before the ridge begins to migrate out east into the Great Plains.
We should see a weak frontal passage sometime on Wednesday as a
vigorous upper level trough bypasses out region to the north and
east by midweek and this postfrontal airmass will be a little
cooler compared to what the early part of the week will feel like.

The late week forecast looks confusing as the westerlies may try
to respond with some sort of weakness across the Southern Plains
by Friday and just beyond this 7-day forecast which would imply
increased rain chances. A lot will depend on just how strong the
Great Plains ridging will be as some of the medium range progs are
hinting as some sort of omega blocking upper pattern settling in
across the Lower 48 which would likely extend the upcoming dry
pattern through next weekend. For now will not deviate from the
NBM which suggest low pops returning to the forecast by late next
week.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 529 PM CST Fri Jan 26 2024

For the 27/00Z TAFs, CIGs will continue to descend to IFR and LIFR
levels with the rainfall moving into area airspace, with
associated drops in VIS with heavier rainfall. These conditions
will continue through at least daybreak, with areas of fog
development possible in the wake of the departing rainfall, which
looks to exit the area altogether by midmorning. CIGs, however, do
not look to climb much during the day. Northeast winds will become
lighter overnight before becoming northerly tomorrow at maximum
sustained speeds of 10 to 15 kts with gusts of up to 20 kts
possible.
