National Weather Service Shreveport LA 226 PM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Saturday Night) Issued at 202 PM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024 A very diffuse frontal boundary continues to make very slow progress across our southern zones attm with some very light rain and/or drizzle continuing near the I-20 Corridor across N LA. There will continue to be the possibility of an isolated thunderstorm or two across our southern zones due to the proximity of the boundary and diurnal heating but anything that forms should dissipate with the loss of daytime heating this evening. Then all eyes turn out west as an upper level disturbance moves out of the Four Corners Region and into the Texas Hill Country during the day Saturday. Isentropic forcing in advance of the upper forcing in association with the upper trough itself will result in increasing convective coverage near and north of the I-20 Corridor after midnight tonight. Likewise, ascent from the upper trough will only increase during the day Saturday and especially Saturday Night with arrival of the upper trough with widespread accumulating rainfall totals near 1-3 inches with isolated higher amounts. These kind of rainfall amounts will likely be much more impactful to our area lakes, rivers and bayous given how swollen they have been from previous rainfall. Hourly Flash Flood Guidance Values across our region are near 3 inches per hour and we should be nowhere near these kind of rainfall rates for this event. Therefore, will not go out with a Flood Watch with this package. Instead, we will issue a Hydrologic Outlook which highlights the likelihood of excessive heavy rainfall and its impacts on our waterways. Stayed close to NBM MOS guidance temps throughout the short term portion of the forecast. 13

Hazardous Weather Outlook For LA SALLE 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.
