&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 952 AM CDT MON OCT 16 2006)

UPDATE...
WILL MAKE ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO CURRENT FORECASTS. WILL INCREASE
WIND SPEED FORECASTS OVER CENTRAL LOUISIANA AND INTERIOR SOUTHEAST
TEXAS TO 15 TO 20 MPH TO MATCH THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY WHICH IS OUT
FOR THAT AREA THROUGH 7 PM CDT TODAY.

THOUGH RADAR IS INDICATING THAT RAIN COVERAGE HAS DIMINISHED OVER
THE SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE AREA WILL KEEP POPS HIGH IN THAT AREA
FOR TODAY. AT LEAST SCATTERED SHOWERS SHOULD CONTINUE TO STREAM
NORTHWARD FROM THE GULF OVER THAT AREA AND MOVEMENT WILL INCREASE
AREA AFFECTED BY SCATTERED STORMS. ADDITIONALLY MODELS CONTINUE TO
SHOW DEEP MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL CONTINUE OVER THAT AREA
UNTIL A LOW LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW BRINGS DRIER AIR INTO THAT AREA

PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 342 AM CDT MON OCT 16 2006)

DISCUSSION...VERY BUSY HERE TONIGHT AND AFD WILL BE BRIEF.
WIDESPREAD RAINS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND SOUTH OF
NORTHWARD RETREATING WARM FRONT. BOUNDARY CURRENTLY MOVING INTO NORTH
LOUISIANA. SEEING A FEW SPIN UPS WITH CONVECTION OVER THE NEAR COASTAL
WATERS...BUT FORTUNATELY FEATURES HAVE BEEN SHOWING A RAPID
DISSIPATION UPON MOVING ONSHORE. WIDESPREAD RAINS EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE TODAY AS REGION REMAINS IN A MOIST SOUTH SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW...WITH CONTINUED SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVING ACROSS THE AREA
AHEAD OF MAIN MID/UPPER TROF ADVANCING THROUGH COLORADO/NEW
MEXICO.

EXTREME TROPICAL MOISTURE IN PLACE COMBINED WITH IMPULSES COMING

ADVISORY WILL ALSO BE CONTINUED AS PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS TIGHT
AND WINDS STRONG BOTH OVER THE NEAR COASTAL WATERS AND INLAND.

TORNADO WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH 7 AM FOR OUR SOUTHERN ZONES AND
COASTAL WATERS OUT 20 MILES. KINEMATICS GOOD FOR ADDITIONAL SEVERE

AVIATION...WIDESPREAD SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY EXPECTED
INTO TONIGHT MAINTAINING LOW CEILINGS AND LIMITED VISIBILITY.

MARINE...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL CONTINUE OVER THE NORTHWEST
