RATHER COMPLEX AND UNUSUAL PATTERN OVER THE CWA FOR THE NEXT FEW
DAYS. WILL GO WITH A COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE AVN AND ETA. MID AND
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL REMAIN OVER THE SW WHILE TROF OVER THE
EASTERN US DIGS OVER THE LOWER MS VALLEY. THE AVN EVEN CUTS OFF A
MID LEVEL LOW AND MAINTAINS JET LEVEL SW WINDS OVER THE CWA. MODELS
DRIES THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS BEGINNING MON. AM A LITTLE CONCERNED
ABOUT THIS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF LOW OVER LOWER MS VALLEY. WILL
MAINTAIN HIGH POPS TODAY AND TONIGHT AS MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT
WITH A SHORT WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE CWA TODAY AND ANOTHER SHORT
WAVE MOVING THROUGH TONIGHT AND MON. WILL MAINTAIN THREAT OF SVR
TSTMS TDA OVER ALL OF THE CWA TODAY AND ACROSS THE SOUTH PORTION
TONIGHT AS THETA-E AXIS SHIFTS SOUTHEAST ACROSS LA COASTAL SECTIONS
BY MON MORNING. STILL EXPECT COLD AIR AT 5H LATER IN FORECAST
PERIOD. THIS SHOULD INCREASE INSTABILITY. MAIN CONCERN IS THE MODELS
MAY BE DRYING THE AREA TOO FAST AT MID AND UPPER LEVELS. AM GOING
MUCH HIGHER THAN GUIDANCE. WILL LEAVE OFF MENTION OF HEAVY PCPN AS
CELLS SHOULD BE MOVING RATHER FAST TO THE SE. HOWEVER...ISOLATED
HEAVY AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. WILL BE CLOSE TO MOS TEMPS. MUCH MORE TO BE
SAID...BUT NEED TO GET A JUMP ON THE FORECAST.
