National Weather Service Shreveport LA 953 PM CDT Thu Apr 18 2024 ...New UPDATE... .UPDATE... Issued at 953 PM CDT Thu Apr 18 2024 The mid-evening sfc analysis indicates that our cold front has entered Nrn and Wrn McCurtain County OK, tailing SW to near PRX, TRL, and ACT as of 0230Z. The widely scattered convection that had been present along the bndry has since dissipated since the setting sun, likely given the lack of large scale ascent aloft to help keep this convection going. Very little change is expected to the synoptic pattern overnight, with some isolated to widely scattered convection possible along the frontal zone overnight as it seeps SE into NE TX/SW AR and eventually, extreme NW LA by daybreak Friday. Despite the presence of very strong instability remaining ahead of the front (SBCapes of 3000-3500 J/Kg) and adequate deep lyr shear, not expected deep convection to develop given the lack of forcing aloft, and thus have cancelled SVR Watch #126 for McCurtain County OK and the Nrn sections of SW AR. The frontal sfc is expected to become more shallow as it seeps through the higher terrain of the Ouachitas overnight, with any cold advection minimal as it nears the I-20 corridor of extreme Ern TX/NW LA by daybreak. Still can't rule out some isolated to widely scattered convection along and ahead of the front, but have toned down pops to low/slight chance in VC and N of I-20. Also raised min temps tonight across a large part of the area ahead of the front, given the weak cool advection and the expected cu and low cig development expected to continue. The front still remains progged to continue drifting oh so slowly S through the remainder of Lower E TX/N LA through the day Friday, before eventually settling S of the region during the evening. Attm, any -SHRA development should be isolated with additional QPF amounts light, while also tapering the very warm and humid conditions as of late back to more tolerable levels. Zone update already out...grids will be available shortly. 15
