AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA
220 PM CDT MON JUN 6 2005

.DISCUSSION...

SEA BREEZE IS CURRENTLY ADVANCING NORTHWARD IN A LINE FROM LFK TO DRI TO LFT.
THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE SEA BREEZE APPEARS TO BE INTERACTING WITH AN OLD
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY.  THIS SHOULD ENHANCE CONVECTION IN THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS
HEADING INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS.  LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL SHOULD BE THE
MAIN THREAT FROM THE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS...THOUGH, SOME COULD TURN SEVERE
LATER ON.

AS FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS...THE SUMMER TIME PATTERN OF AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS
FROM SEA BREEZE ACTIVITY SHOULD STAY WITH US THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY.  HAVE
GONE WITH TEMPS THAT ARE SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN MAV IN THE EXTENDED.
