Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Shreveport LA 757 PM CDT Fri Sep 5 2025 ...New AVIATION, SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... .KEY MESSAGES... Issued at 1248 PM CDT Fri Sep 5 2025 - Warmer conditions will persist for today, but a cold front will bring cooler temperatures and thunderstorms tonight and over the weekend. - A Marginal Risk for severe weather remains in place for portions of the area, mainly for late this evening through the early morning hours on Saturday. - Dry and less humid weather is expected for much of next week, with a slow and gradually warming trend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 1248 PM CDT Fri Sep 5 2025 A change in the upper-level pattern has taken shape across the region over the past 12 to 18 hours, as northwest flow has transition to a southwesterly flow aloft. This has resulted in an influx of Pacific moisture in the region, aided by the remnants of Tropical Cyclone Lorena near Baja Mexico. Most of moisture has been elevated, resulting in a large shield of high clouds streaming over the area. However, the previously mentioned cool front advertise for today has already arrived into our zones north of Interstate 30, yielding some light showers since this morning over those areas. Ahead of the front, another hot day is on tap across the region. Despite the cloud cover, temperatures have already climbed into the upper 80s and lower 90s, and will likely top out in the low to mid 90s. These hot temperatures are likely aided by some compressional heating ahead of the front. Although many locations will see heat index values over the 100 degree mark today, we decided to not issue a Heat Advisory, as heat indices above the 105 advisory threshold will remain very isolated. With southwest flow over the region, winds aloft will remain relatively parallel to the front, keeping it from moving much through the remainder of the day. Short-term progs continue to suggest that there will be an uptick in convection near the front along and north of I-30, as we move into the late afternoon and evening hours. Steep mid-level lapse rates could result in some isolated strong to severe convection during this period. Another short-wave trough will move across the Plains and Midwest, which will push the front and convection southward across the region overnight and through the day on Saturday. As of now, the Storm Prediction Center has issued a Marginal Risk for severe storms for areas along and north of Interstate 20 tonight through the predawn hours Saturday morning. The main threat will likely be large hail with the initial uptick convection, then strong winds as it forms into more of line along the southward moving cool front. Rain chances should spread to the remainder of the forecast area on Saturday with the passage of the front. Some lingering rain chances will remain on Sunday, especially across our East Texas zones along and south of I-20, as another disturbance is expected to move across Central Texas. As we move into next week, a large dome of high pressure will slide across the Midwest then Northeastern CONUS. The clockwise northeasterly winds around the high will bring drier and less humid air into the region. High temperatures on Monday and Tuesday will likely remain in the 80s areawide, with a slight warming trend into the upper 80s and lower 90s by the middle and end of the week. With dewpoints expected to remain in the 50s, and long- term progs forecasting morning lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s, it will still feel like a hint of early fall across the region. /20/ && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 724 PM CDT Fri Sep 5 2025 For the 06/00Z TAF update, active weather will keep MVFR/IFR vis/cigs in effect through most of the period.
