Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Shreveport LA
214 AM CST Sat Mar 7 2026

...New DISCUSSION, SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 120 AM CST Sat Mar 7 2026

 - The potential remains for scattered strong to severe
   thunderstorms affecting Southeast Oklahoma, portions of East
   Texas, Southwest Arkansas, and portions of Northwest Louisiana
   overnight through early this morning.

 - Periods of heavy but much needed rainfall is expected across
   much of the region this weekend, which should ease the drought
   conditions in place. There is also the chance for some
   additional severe weather, especially this afternoon.

 - A wet pattern will develop next week, as daily rain chances
   will be in the forecast. Can't rule out additional strong to
   severe thunderstorms and excessive rainfall during this
   period.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 120 AM CST Sat Mar 7 2026

Above normal conditions continued across the region this past
afternoon, with more record highs observed at a few of our climate
locations. We expected some strong to severe thunderstorms during
the past afternoon and evening hours, but this didn't materialize.
However, some convection has started to develop across East Texas
over the past hour, which has been strong enough for us to issue a
couple of Special Weather Statements. We will likely see this
convection expand into Southwest Arkansas and possibly Northwest
Louisiana through daybreak. Can't rule out some of this convection
becoming severe, with all modes of hazard weather on the table.
As we continue through the overnight period, a cold front,
currently extending from Central Oklahoma southwestward into
Western Texas, will continue to shift eastward towards the region.
A line of storms have already started to form along that line,
and should remain intact as the front arrives at our northwestern
zones around daybreak. This line will then continue to push
southward into the region before it gets undercut by the front
later this morning. But, additional convection could reform on the
trailing 850 mb front. There should be enough elevated
instability, shear, and low enough freezing levels for hail and
damaging winds to be a threat today.

There still remain some question on if the front will push through
the region this afternoon/evening or stall across the area. Either
way, the thought is that even if it pushes through, it will return
back Sunday as a warm front. This will keep rain chances for the
remainder of the weekend. However, if the front stalls today, this
could set up an overrunning rain situation, especially for most
of the region south of the I-30 corridor. This could yield some
locally heavy rainfall if this was to occur.

The front is expected to lift north of the region by Monday, which
could gives up a brief break in rain. However, daily rain chances
will return across the region for the first half of next week.
Long-term progs continue to show a much stronger closed upper
trough slowly pushing eastward towards the area from the northern
Baja region of Mexico. Ahead of this trough, several disturbances
will move into the region, resulting in daily rain chances, until
the trough finally pushes through region by the middle of next
week. Additional severe weather and excessive rainfall can't be
ruled out during this period. Behind the trough, cooler and drier
conditions will return. /20/

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1150 PM CST Fri Mar 6 2026

For the ArkLaTex terminals, MVFR assembling for our E TX sites
with some showers approaching. S winds 5-15KT overnight with a
few gusts. A cold front will seep into our area late day and early
evening. The expectation remains for good convective development
by daybreak, -TSRA spreading into across NE TX and into AR/LA in
the 12-21Z with a midday lull, but coverage intensifies with
peak heating and the fropa. W/NW winds spread across the region
in the aftn/early eve and convection winding down toward 06Z.
