.DISCUSSION...

UPDATED ZONES AND GRIDS FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 621 UNTIL
MIDNIGHT FOR ALL OF NORTH LOUISIANA AND MUCH OF EAST TEXAS. EXPECT
MAINLY HIGH WINDS WITH THIS SYSTEM.

UPDATE ALREADY OUT.

.PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 415 PM CDT WED JUL 19 2006)

DISCUSSION...
LARGE COMPLEX OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS PRESSING WESTWARD INTO
SOUTHEASTERN PORIONS OF CWA...INCLUDED CHANCE OF SEVERE WORDING TO
TONIGHTS LIKELY POPS OVER SOUTHEASTERN SECTIONS PER SPC/MCD.  OTHER
SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM ACIVITY OVER NORTHERN ZONES
INCLUDES 20 POPS FOR THIS EVENING...MOST OF THIS SHOULD FADE WITH
DAYTIME HEATING. HOWEVER...THE COMPLEX OVER SOUTHEAST SHOULD
PROGRESS WELL INTO EVENING IF NOT PORTIONS OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
MORE OR LESS PERSISTENCE FOR TOMORROW AND FRIDAY WITH STILL WELL
ABOVE AVERGE READINGS FOR HIGHS.  HEAT ADVISORY WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH TOMORROW EARLY EVENING.

SLIGHT COOLING TREND STILL ON TAP FOR THE WEEKEND AS MODELS CONTINUE
TO SHOW DECENT TROUGH IN THE EAST.  WENT A BIT ABOVE GUIDANCE ON
TEMPS AS IT IS STILL LATE JULY...BUT WITH THE INCREASED CLOUDS AND
RAIN...THIS SHOULD HELP TO LIMIT HEATING WELL BELOW RECENT VALUES.

EARLY NEXT WEEK SHOULD STILL HAVE REMNANT SHEAR ZONE SUFFICIENT TO
INCLUDE 20 POPS INTO MIDWEEK.  KEPT HIGHS AND LOWS AT OR SLIGHTLY
ABOVE CLIMATOLOGY FOR LATE JULY.
