AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
320 AM CDT MON JUN 6 2005

.DISCUSSION...GENERALLY WET PATTERN SETTING UP FOR TODAY AS MINOR
TROUGHING ALOFT ALLOWS SUBTLE DISTURBANCES TO MOVE ACROSS THE

THIS EVENING. OVERALL PATTERN CONTINUES INTO TUESDAY AS A GENERAL
WEAKNESS ALOFT PERSISTS OVER THE REGION WHILE THE BERMUDA HIGH
REMAINS ANCHORED AT THE SURFACE. PAST TUESDAY...THE GFS DOES NOT
INDICATE MUCH CHANGE IN THE WEAKNESS ALOFT WITH MINOR DISTURBANCES
CONTINUING TO MOVE WEST TO EAST WITHIN THE LIGHT FLOW PATTERN. AT
THE SURFACE...HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO USHER WARM AND HUMID AIR
INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. SOME DISORGANIZED ENERGY AND
