NWS Forecaster Discussion
782 fxus64 kshv 202111 afdshv Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Shreveport la 311 PM CST Friday Nov 20 2009 Discussion... kshv radar...now back up...shows very light showers persisting over southeast OK...SW Arkansas...and East Texas. WV imagery shows upper low over West Texas making some eastward progress over the last few hours. Isentropic lift associated with the trough should allow for more development of showers across the southern zones of deep East Texas...into north la tonight. Trough will continue its progression tonight and Saturday... and should exit the region by late Saturday evening. All in all...rainfall totals should be manageable for the most part...only around a quarter of an inch to three quarters of an inch. Sunday and Monday will bring dry and mild weather...ahead of the next system. A closed upper low ejects into the plains and brings a cold front through the region Monday night into Tuesday... bringing showers and cooler temperatures along with it. Once again... rainfall amounts should be relatively light. The remainder of the extended appears dry...with a back door front bringing a reinforcing shot of cold air in on Thanksgiving day. This may very well bring our first widespread freeze of the year...making for a very chilly start for black Friday shoppers. && Aviation... an upper level short wave over south Texas...will move slowly east northeast through 21/18z bringing a good chance of showers to the four state area tafs sites. VFR ceilings may lower to MVFR ceilings at most of the taf sites tonight...with possible isolated IFR ceilings at lfk through 21/15z. After 21/15z...ceilings will gradually improve to VFR by 21/21z as the short wave moves to the east of the four state area. Visibilities may lower to MVFR in rain at times through 21/12z. East southeast winds may shift to the northeast on Saturday as a surface low pressure system moves along the Gulf Coast. /03/ && Preliminary point temps/pops... shv 51 60 42 68 45 / 60 60 30 10 0 mlu 47 59 43 66 42 / 40 60 40 10 0 deq 49 61 41 65 45 / 40 40 30 10 0 txk 47 60 44 66 44 / 50 50 30 10 0 eld 46 60 42 65 43 / 30 50 40 10 0 tyr 50 60 45 69 49 / 60 50 20 10 0 ggg 50 60 43 69 47 / 60 50 20 10 0 lfk 52 61 41 70 48 / 70 60 20 10 0 && Shv watches/warnings/advisories...
