National Weather Service Shreveport LA 229 AM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (Tuesday through Wednesday) Issued at 137 AM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024 A vertically stacked surface and upper-low are forecast to translate east into the Central Plains today allowing for increased mid-level southwest flow aloft across the ArkLaTex. A longitudinally oriented surface boundary from the base of the low will move east across Texas today and move into the ArkLaTex this evening before becoming east-west oriented and nearly stationary by Wednesday morning. Convergence along the frontal boundary within an airmass loaded with moisture will allow for showers and thunderstorms across the region this afternoon and tonight. With the stronger forcing and instability focused closer to the evolving mid-latitude low, the severe threat across the ArkLaTex will be limited with no significant threats expected. Afternoon high temperatures will range from the mid 80s across north Louisiana to the mid 70s across the I-30 corridor. Frontal boundary to become oriented parallel to the upper-level west-southwest flow this evening allowing precipitation to translate northeast of the ArkLaTex while gradually diminishing. Overnight low temperatures are forecast to fall into the 60s. On Wednesday, upper-flow to become nearly zonal allowing for neutral instability characterized by widespread cloudcover. Not expecting much in the way of precipitation, however can't rule out a stray shower or thunderstorm. High temperatures on Wednesday to average in the 80s. /05/
