National Weather Service Shreveport LA 121 PM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Friday through Saturday) Issued at 320 AM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024 The weather story and hazard outlooks remain largely unchanged from recent forecasts as of this writing. As a series of upper level lows eject east from the Intermountain West and veer along a northeasterly track up the Great Plains and towards the Great Lakes, this persistent unsettled pattern will result in several days worth of showers and storms bringing rainfall to much of the ArkLaTex, and some chances of severe weather, particularly to our northwestern half. Showers have already begun to move into our southeastern Oklahoma zones as of the 08Z hour, and will increase in coverage and intensity while gradually trekking south and east after daybreak today. Showers and storms will impact all but the southeasternmost reaches of the ArkLaTex through this afternoon, receding in coverage back to the north of the I-30 corridor overnight into Saturday. The severe weather outlook today remains much the same as previous iterations, with a Slight Risk covering our northwestern zones from Tyler up to Texarkana and along I-30, extending just far enough south to clip the northwestern corner of Louisiana. The chief modes of severe weather expected will be damaging wind and especially large hail, but a tornado or two cannot be ruled out entirely. Simultaneously, these same zones are included in a slight risk of excessive rainfall leading to flash flooding, particularly in areas of training torrential rainfall. 1-2 inches of accumulation today look easily possible, particularly north of I-30. Today's highs will range from the middle 70s northwest to middle 80s southeast, followed by a night of lows in the upper 60s to near 70 degrees, and a warmer Saturday as more sites reach the mid to upper 80s. Saturday continues to look like the "in-between" day of this stretch, where we will not see a defined line of storms associated with one of the aforementioned lows move into the region. Nevertheless, conditions will remain ripe for renewed showers and storms across the northern half of the Four State Region through the course of the day, accompanied by a Marginal Risk for severe weather and a sliver of Slight Risk on our northwestern corner, accompanied by a similar distribution of ERO risks. All modes of severe weather will again be possible, but at reduced confidence compared to Friday and Sunday. /26/National Ag. Weather Outlook, International Ag.
