SHORT TERM
(THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 334 PM CDT FRI MAR 28 2025
A BUSY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE REGION, AS WE HAVE SEEN SEVERAL STORMS
WITH ROTATION DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER
HAS ISSUED TORNADO WATCH 66 FOR PORTIONS OF OUR EAST TEXAS
COUNTIES, ALONG WITH PORTIONS OF OUR NORTH & CENTRAL LOUISIANA
PARISHES SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 20 THROUGH 7 PM. ALTHOUGH THE WATCH
IS FOR AREAS SOUTH OF I-20, WE HAVE ALSO SEEN ROTATING STORMS IN
AREAS NORTH OF I-20. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN
POSSIBLE FOR THE ENTIRE REGION THIS EVENING AND THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS, AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE CONTINUES TO PUSH
EASTWARD ACROSS THE RED RIVER VALLEY OF NORTH TEXAS AND SOUTHERN
OKLAHOMA. ADDITIONAL ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL
REMAIN POSSIBLE. ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER CAN'T BE RULED OUT,
ALONG WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.
THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER-LEVEL DISTURBANCE RESPONSIBLE FOR
TODAY'S STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT EASTWARD AND EVENTUALLY OUT
OF THE REGION BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. DRY WEATHER AND SUNNY SKIES
WILL FOLLOW, WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 80S. /20/
LONG TERM
(SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 334 PM CDT FRI MAR 28 2025
DRY WEATHER WILL BE SHORT-LIVED AS WE MOVE INTO SUNDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING, AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE REGION. AHEAD
OF THE FRONT, LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE ON THE INCREASE, WITH
DEW POINTS CLIMBING INTO THE MID-60S. THIS SHOULD MAKE FOR ENOUGH
INSTABILITY ACROSS THE REGION. MODELS SUGGEST A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH
OR DRYLINE FEATURE WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA AHEAD OF THE FRONT,
YIELDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF DISCRETE STORMS. WITH STEEP MID-LEVEL
LAPSE RATES AND DECENT EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR, ALL MODES OF SEVERE
WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE. AS THE FRONT GETS CLOSER, EXPECT A LINE
OF STORMS TO DEVELOP, WITH QLCS TORNADOES POSSIBLE.
DRY WEATHER WILL RETURN TO THE REGION FOR THE FIRST OF NEXT WEEK,
BUT ANOTHER APPROACHING COLD FRONT WILL BRING US A CHANCE FOR MORE
SEVERE WEATHER BY NEXT WEDNESDAY AND POSSIBLE INTO THURSDAY AS
LONG-RANGE PROGS HINT AT THE FRONT STALLING ACROSS THE REGION.

AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 703 PM CDT FRI MAR 28 2025
A MIX BAG OF FLIGHT CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION AT THIS HOUR, AS
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OVER THE AIRSPACE
AHEAD OF AN UPPER-LEVEL DISTURBANCE. SOME STORMS HAVE BEEN STRONG
TO SEVERE, WITH RADAR SHOWING ENOUGH ROTATION TO ISSUE TORNADO
WARNINGS. EXPECT ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND STORMS OVERNIGHT, WITH
REDUCED CIGS AT ALL SITES. THE BEST CHANCE FOR ANY PRECIP WILL
LIKELY BE ACROSS ALL TAF LOCATIONS, EXCEPT KTYR/KGGG, BUT CAN'T
RULE OUT SOME ISOLATED PRECIP IN THOSE LOCATIONS AS WELL.
EVENTUALLY, DRY CONDITIONS AND VFR CONDITIONS WILL RETURN BY THE
END OF THE TAF PERIOD FROM WEST TO EAST AT ALL SITES EXCEPT
KMLU/KELD. /20/
