National Weather Service Shreveport LA 215 PM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Wednesday Night) Issued at 114 PM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024 Upper trough across Southern/Central Plains will continue slowly lifting out to the north and east overnight tonight. Across our region and upstream, WSW flow aloft continues to dominate the Southern Plains with weak upper level forcing noted across the Middle Red River Valley of NE TX, SE OK and SW AR. Cold front in association with this trough will move into NE OK and NC TX before stalling late tonight and this frontal boundary is not forecast to even make it into McCurtain County before pulling up stationary late tonight. Instead, 850mb theta-e ridging across NE TX into far SE OK and SW AR in advance of the sfc cold front will likely be the feature that storms could develop on later this afternoon/evening with the 850mb cold front pushing south and east into N LA towards sunrise Wed Morning. Given the lack of more significant upper forcing, did back off likely NBM pops for tonight, characterizing them as more scattered in nature vs likely storm coverage across our northwest half. Low-end moderate instability will best describe the warm sector in advance of the true cold front this evening with descent lapse rates, suggesting that small hail cannot be ruled out of any strong storms that form this evening but more organized severe convection will likely remain north of our area through the night. The cold front will remain north of our region on Wed with this feature returning back to the north as a warm front. Meanwhile, we will have virtually no upper level ascent noted aloft and the 850mb boundary will have washed out across our region. All this to say, pops look negligible for Wed thru Wed Night attm. Did not stray far from NBM temps on Wed or Wed Night given that NBM temps are on the warmer side of guidance and this seems plausible given cloud cover will be plentiful and continued southerly winds. 13
