BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE IS ON THE INCREASE...WITH THE VERY MOIST MARINE LAYER BEGINNING TO SURGE NORTH THROUGH SE LA AND SRN MS. THE MID TO UPPER LEVEL JET IS NOSING INTO SRN LA/SW MS THIS AFTERNOON. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW STRONG DESTABILIZATION FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON...850 MB THETAE VALUES NEAR 340 K WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA BY THIS EVENING. SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES STRONG SHORTWAVE IMAGERY POISED TO TRACK INTO THE REGION LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL WILL INCREASE ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. THE LAPSE RATES REMAIN HEALTHY SO THE POTENTIAL FOR HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES REMAIN GOOD FOR THE REGION. THE TORNADO AND DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL WILL DECREASE FROM WEST TO EAST AFTER MIDNIGHT. AT THIS TIME THE MOST LIKELY PERIOD FOR SEVERE STORMS LOOKS TO BE FROM THE LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH 3 AM. SUPERCELLS WILL BE LIKELY WITH DAMAGING WIND...LARGE HAIL AND TORNADIC DEVELOPMENT.A PRIMED AIR MASS WILL BE IN PLACE WHEN DYNAMICS INTENSIFY THIS EVENING. LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL STRENGTHEN IN RESPONSE TO THE SURFACE LOW CENTER THAT WILL MOVE INTO CENTRAL LA BY SUNSET AND LIFT NWD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE NIGHT. THE UPPER JET...JET CORE MAX WINDS FORECAST AROUND 150 KTS...IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY AS IT PUSHES NEWD INTO THE REGION TONIGHT AND 850 MB FLOW INCREASES TO 35-40 KTS. A MIDLEVEL JET OF AROUND 90 KNOTS WILL COME IN ON THE BACK OF THE STORM SYSTEM EARLY SUNDAY. FOR SUNDAY... DURING THE DAY SUNDAY THE ASSOCIATED CLOSED UPPER LOW WILL PASS OVER THE REGION. COOL MIDLEVEL TEMPS(-15 TO NEAR -20C) WILL BRING THE POSSIBILITY OF HAIL WITH THE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. THIS WILL CONTINUE SOME DECENT LAPSE RATES ACROSS THE REGION. ALSO EXPECT SOME WRAP AROUND CLOUDS WITH THIS SYSTEM. WILL INCREASE POPS SOME ACROSS THE REGION. DESPITE THE DRYING AIRMASS ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...LARGE SCALE QG FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER-LEVEL SYSTEM MAY PROVIDE SOME AID FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS OUR AREA THROUGH THE DAY SUNDAY. MODELS DO POINT TO SOME GUSTY WINDS MIXING DOWN DURING THE DAY ON SUNDAY AND WILL CONTINUE WITH GUSTS OF AROUND 30 MPH. IN LIGHT OF THE DANGEROUS SCENARIO TAKING SHAPE FOR TONIGHT...WILL LET LATER SHIFTS CONSIDER THE WIND SITUATION FOR ON ANY POSSIBLE LAKE WIND ADVISORY THAT MAY BE NEEDED./17/ SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY... EXPECT THE MID LEVEL COLD CORE TO TRAVERSE THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY NIGHT. STRONG HEIGHT FALLS ASSOC WITH THE TROUGH PASSAGE WILL SQUEEZE OUT LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE OVER MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA.
