Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Shreveport LA
713 AM CDT Tue May 28 2024

...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 712 AM CDT Tue May 28 2024

An MCS currently shifting southeast across northeast Texas will
move into east Texas over the next couple of hours. Therefore
Severe Thunderstorm Watch 341 is now in effect into 11 AM.
Damaging straight line winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes
will be possible. /05/

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Tuesday through Wednesday)
Issued at 125 AM CDT Tue May 28 2024

A weak frontal boundary lingering across north-central and
northeast Texas has been the trigger for convection across
the Red River Valley during these early morning hours. This area
will be the source region for continued convective initiation
through the remainder of the overnight hours. Ongoing storms near
daybreak will force an outflow boundary southeast across the
ArkLaTex later today.

Conditions across the ArkLaTex are primed to support strong to
severe thunderstorms along the outflow boundary today. The
combination of rich low-level moisture with dewpoints in the lower
70s and an upper-disturbance translating southeast within a
northwest flow pattern will support deep convection ultimately
leading to the potential for an MCS that will generate damaging
winds and large hail along with an isolated tornado threat across
the ArkLaTex. There is some uncertainty associated with type and
intensity of convection due to timing of the progression of the
outflow boundary. Should the outflow boundary race across the
region early in the day, MCS development may be reduced. However,
should the outflow boundary move through later in the day,
diurnal heating will play a role in further destabilizing an
already unstable airmass across the region ahead of the boundary
producing a heightened severe threat.

Convection to linger into the evening hours as fairly amplified
low-level trough lingers across the northern gulf coast. Overnight
low temperatures are forecast to fall into the 60s.

Synoptic pattern to remain fairly stagnant through Wednesday as
low to mid-level trough remains parked across the region in the
vicinity of the frontal boundary resulting in an unsettled weather
pattern characterized by decent rain chances areawide. High
temperatures are forecast to fall into the upper 70s to lower 80s.
/05/

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday Night through Tuesday)
Issued at 125 AM CDT Tue May 28 2024

An upper trough swinging east across the central CONUS along the
northern periphery of an upper-ridge across Mexico will allow for
an unsettled weather pattern across the ArkLaTex on Friday.
Showers and thunderstorms will increase in coverage early Friday
morning, persisting through much of the day. A weak upper-low may
deepen across south Arkansas on Friday night allowing for storms
to possibly increase in intensity allowing for an isolated severe
thunderstorms and heavy rain threat across Arkansas.

Conditions to improve on Saturday as upper-trough shifts east
into Mississippi and Alabama and ridging rebuilds across the
region. However, diurnally driven convection remains possible
along a lingering frontal boundary.

Frontal boundary to remain in place across the ArkLaTex through
Saturday, maintaining increased rain chances through the early
part of the weekend. Front is forecast to lift north on Sunday
allowing for improved conditions late in the weekend into early
next week.

Temperatures through the long-term period to remain fairly
consistent with highs in the 80s and lows around 70. /05/

.AVIATION...

period (with MVFR/IFR vis/cigs exceptions for low clouds over east
Texas terminals through at least 28/15Z). Light easterly winds
