.SHORT TERM...
(Thursday through Friday)
Issued at 322 AM CDT Thu Apr 25 2024

Once again starting off a little warm with upper 60s for the
average, with end points of 62/62 in Ruston with fog and 70 
degrees in downtown Shreveport. Skies are mostly fair with patchy
fog beneath, except for SE OK / S AR under clouds riding over 
the cooler air associated with that weak backdoor frontal 
boundary from yesterday. The SE winds look to prevail until 
further notice aside from brief S/SW Monday afternoon behind the 
heaviest rain period. We will be talking about sea breeze activity
in May with this pattern of flow inland off the Gulf. 

However, the Westerlies will still impose their will this weekend
with the number two and especially number three punches. The 
upper ridging extends from TX to Canada west of the MS River and 
will drift eastward slowly, building shield power with heights 
soaring. Highs today will push more sites into the mid 80s and 
some upper 80s over the weekend with our lows in the upper 60s and 
lower 70s for a while. Short term rainfall today will focus 
slight chance pops over that retreating backdoor front today and 
then start to edge our way after midnight tonight into SE OK and
NE TX and lots more of our real estate going forward. /24/
