National Weather Service Shreveport LA 649 AM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Friday through Saturday) Issued at 349 AM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024 A slowly advancing frontal boundary continues to shift SE near the I-30 corridor early this morning, evident by the wind shift to the NW and subsequent cool air advection. Ambient temperatures are in the upper 50s to mid 60s north of the boundary compared to mostly in the 70s south. As for convection, the only activity remains to our north near the Little Rock metro area where a shortwave is contributing to a few isolated strong to severe storms. With the relative lack of forcing across our region today, convection will remain hard to come by aside from just some very isolated showers and perhaps a stray thunderstorm as the cold front continues its slow but steady progression SE throughout the day. The speed of the front could be problematic in terms of the high temperature forecast for today, resulting in quite a spread from the mid and upper 60s NW to the lower and mid 80s SE. By early this evening, the cold front should be very near if not clearing our far southern zones just as a series of shortwave impulses begin to emerge across North Texas into the Middle Red River Valley. As the first in this series of shortwave impulses transitions through the W/SW flow pattern starting late tonight through Saturday, expect showers to gradually become widespread with embedded thunderstorms increasingly likely later in the day on Saturday. Temperatures will be noticeably cooler following fropa with little movement expected throughout the day as highs only manage the mid and upper 50s north into the lower 60s along I-20 and slightly warmer farther south. /19/

Hazardous Weather Outlook For UNION County, LA 630 AM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024 DAY ONE Today and tonight. A cold front will continue to shift across the region today, but any thunderstorm activity should be isolated. The chance of thunderstorms will increase later tonight as an upper-level disturbance approaches the region from the west, mainly after midnight through the predawn hours on Saturday. However, no hazardous weather is expected at this time. DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN Saturday through Thursday. An upper-level disturbance will continue to produce scattered storms and more widespread showers with periods of heavy rainfall through Saturday night before the storm system moves east of our region on Sunday. Look for widespread rainfall amounts of one to three inches with isolated higher amounts possible. This may result in additional rises on area waterways through early next week. Low-lying and poor drainage areas will also be susceptible to localized flash flooding. SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
