National Weather Service Shreveport LA 234 PM CDT Wed Apr 17 2024 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Thursday Night) Issued at 201 PM CDT Wed Apr 17 2024 Very uneventful WSW flow aloft continues across our region attm with a weak and ill-defined frontal boundary across far northern OK and NW AR. A strengthening low level jet from the southwest will rematerialize late tonight and through the day Thursday which will further aid in an influx of low level returning moisture to the region and with it, shower and thunderstorm chances. The upper level pattern is nothing to write home about but there is a very weak disturbance aloft that will be moving our way Thu into Thu Night and it's this feature that will help to reinvigorate the boundary to our north. The cold front is forecast to approach our far northwest zones by late afternoon/early evening, moving towards the I-30 Corridor of NE TX into SW AR after midnight Thu Night before stalling once again early on Friday. This boundary will encounter a moderately unstable airmass with steep mid-level lapse rates and thus, storms will pose a large hail and wind theat during the late afternoon and evening hours. Concerning temperatures, did not stray too far from NBM temps with overnight lows or daytime highs on Thursday but temps will be tricky Thu Night depending on just how far south and east the boundary is able to make it into our region. 13National Ag.
