.DISCUSSION...REGIONAL 88DS AND SFC OBS INDICATE THAT SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS RW/TRW PERSIST ACROSS THE AREA FROM WOODVILLE TO LAKE
CHARLES TO LAFAYETTE TO MORGAN CITY NORTHWARD. CONVECTION IS
ASSOCIATED WITH A SHORTWAVE TROF MAKING SLOW PROGRESS NEWD ACROSS
THE REGION. MSAS SFC ANALYSIS ALSO SHOWS A WEAK TROF EXTENDING
FROM LOW PRESSURE OVER NWRN TX TO SERN LA WHICH IS LIKELY HELPING
FLARE UP CONVECTION AS WELL. RAISED INHERITED POPS FOR THIS
EVENING AS BACK EDGE OF PRECIP HAS ONLY BEEN MAKING SLOW PROGRESS
FROM SW TO NE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON...WITH POPS
RANGING FROM 20 PERCENT WRN ZONES TO 50 PERCENT ACROSS THE

AT LEAST WIDELY SCATTERED CONVECTION EACH AFTERNOON ALONG
POTENTIAL SEA BREEZE AND ADDITIONAL OUTFLOW DEVELOPMENT SO KEPT
SMALL POPS EACH DAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. RIDGE BEGINS TO BREAK
DOWN EARLY NEXT WEEK AS SHORTWAVE TROF CROSSING THE GREAT LAKES
BREAKS IT DOWN. MEANWHILE A SFC FRONT IS PROGGED TO DROP SOUTH
