239 PM CDT SUN JUN 5 2005

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)
WELL DEFINED MCV MOVING NORTHEAST AT 17 KNOTS NOW JUST SE OF KLFK TX.
EXTRAPOLATION HAS THIS FEATURE NEAR KIER IN WEST CENTRAL LA AT 00Z
AND OVER OUR NORTHWEST ZONES BETWEEN KGLH AND KJAN AT 0800Z. RUC 0-2
KM THETA-E ADVECTION AND MOISTURE CONVERGENCE FIELDS HAS HANDLED THIS
PRETTY WELL...SO EXPECT CONCENTRATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO
MOVE INTO SOUTHWEST AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING.
SEA BREEZY MORE ACTIVE TODAY AS WELL...AND OUTFLOW FROM THUNDERSTORMS
OVER SOUTHEAST MS NOW APPROACHING KHBG.

WENT CLOSER TO NAM ON POPS TONIGHT THAN GFS...WHICH IS ABSURDLY LOW
WITH LESS THAN 10 POPS MOST AREAS.

MONDAY LOOKS PRETTY WET...AND RAISED POPS A BIT WITH HIGHEST IN THE
SOUTH. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES INCREASE TO NEAR 2 SOUTH AND UPPER
SHEAR AXIS WILL BE RIGHT OVER THE AREA. /#11 JPC/

(TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY)
A WEAKNESS IN THE UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN JUXTAPOSED
OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. WITH
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES FORECAST TO RUN BETWEEN 1.5 AND 2
INCHES...850 MB THETA-E VALUES IN THE MID 330KS...AND SLIGHTLY COOLER
500 MB TEMPERATURES...SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES SHOULD BE ABOVE
CLIMATOLOGY...DESPITE THE LACK OF SYNOPTIC SCALE FORCING. FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR...A NORMAL RAIN CHANCE SHOULD ROUGHLY BE 30 PERCENT.
/#10/

.LONG TERM...THERE HAS BEEN A LITTLE DEBATE AS TO WHETHER THE RIDGE
WEAKNESS WILL HOLD...OR IF THE UPPER-RIDGE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE
AREA TOWARD THE END OF NEXT WEEK.  MANY OF THE MEDIUM-RANGE MODELS
SUGGEST THAT THE WEAKNESS IN THE UPPER-RIDGE WILL HOLD IN SOME
SHAPE...FASHION...OR FORM.  AS SUCH...NOT MUCH CHANGE IS FORSEEN IN
THE WEATHER PATTERN THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND.

UNFORTUNATELY...IT CANT BE THAT SIMPLE.  HINTS ARE BEING THROWN BY
THE MODELS THAT A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE MAY DEVELOP JUST EAST OF
THE YUCATAN PENINSULA IN THE THURSDAY TIME FRAME THEN MIGRATE
NORTHWARD BY NEXT WEEKEND.  AFTER SEVERAL HEAD SCRATCHING MOMENTS
WITH REGARD TO THIS SYSTEM (ESPECIALLY WITH ANY DEVELOPMENT AND
FORECAST MOVEMENT ISSUES)...IVE DECIDED TO LEAVE RAIN CHANCES NEAR
CLIMATOLOGY.  THIS WILL JUST HAVE TO BE A WAIT-N-SEE GAME THIS FAR
OUT...AS SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES MAY HAVE TO BE ADJUSTED ONE
WAY OR THE OTHER DEPENDING ON HOW THIS THING EVOLVES.  /#10/
&&

.AVIATION...
NOT MUCH HAPPENED IN TERMS OF FOG LAST NIGHT...THOUGH LIFR DECK DID
SHOW UP BRIEFLY AT KHBG AND IFR DECK AT KMEI. PESKY HAZE CONTINUES AT
KGWO AND SEE NO REASON FOR IT TO GO AWAY NEXT 24 HOURS.

THUNDERSTORMS ON OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AROUND KHBG A GOOD BET THIS
AFTERNOON SO WENT WITH TEMPO GROUP THERE. ELSEWHERE...JUST VCTS AS
PROBABILITY PROBABLY A BIT TOO LOW. WILL HAVE TO WATCH EVOLUTION OF
POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORM CLUSTER IN THE NATCHEZ AREA THIS EVENING...BUT
THIS WILL NOT LIKELY AFFECT ANY TAF SITES OVERNIGHT. WITH WITH MVFR
VISIBILITY AND IFR CEILINGS MOST AREAS TONIGHT FIGURING AFTERNOON
EARLY EVENING STORMS WOULD WET GROUND IN SEVERAL AREAS.

ACTIVITY SHOULD INCREASE TOMORROW SO LOOK FOR BETTER CHANCES OF
MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS BRIEFLY IN THUNDERSTORMS WITH 00Z TAF
PACKAGE...ESPECIALLY FOR KJAN/KMEI/KHBG. /#11 JPC/
