NORTHWESTERN HALF OF THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON PER RADAR IMAGERY.
ACTIVITY CONTINUES GENERALLY ALONG AND BEHIND AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
WHICH STRETCHED FROM NEAR BEAUMONT TO MARKSVILLE. THIS PRECIP IS
ANTICIPATED TO CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW RESULTING IN
A HIGH THREAT OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. IN FACT...RADAR HAS ESTIMATED
ISOLATED TOTALS OF UP TO 5 INCHES OF RAIN IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS SO
FAR. HAD THE CWA NOT BEEN EXTREMELY DRY OVER THE PAST 2
MONTHS...WOULD STRONGLY BE CONSIDERING A FLOOD WATCH FOR THE CWA
AS HPC GUIDANCE SHOWS WIDESPREAD RAINFALL TOTALS OF 3 TO 4 INCHES
THROUGH THURSDAY. HOWEVER EXPECT AREA TO BE ABLE TO ABSORB ANY
HEAVY RAINFALL WELL DUE TO THE RECENT DRY ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS
AND WILL HOLD OFF ON A FLOOD WATCH AT THIS TIME. DUE TO THE

IN ADDITION...RADAR HAS SHOWN A COUPLE OF STORMS WITH DECENT
MESOCYCLONES AT TIMES...INDICATIVE OF THE STRONG LOW LEVEL SHEAR
PER THE 12Z KLCH SOUNDING. SPC CONTINUES TO INDICATE A SLIGHT RISK
OF SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA.
HOWEVER...THE WEAK INSTABILITY CHARACTERIZED BY CAPE VALUES OF 500
J/KG OR LESS SHOULD KEEP ANY SEVERE ACTIVITY ISOLATED AND MINIMAL.
THUS WILL LEAVE MENTION OF SEVERE OUT OF THE ZONES BUT CONTINUE TO
HIGHLIGHT THE HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL.

ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO TAPER OFF SOMEWHAT ON THURSDAY BEFORE YET
ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE USHERS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BACK
INTO THE AREA AND BRINGS ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIPITATION. IN THIS
SYSTEMS WAKE A POWERFUL COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH FRIDAY
EVENING INTO EARLY SATURDAY...WITH GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS AND MUCH
COOLER AND DRIER TEMPERATURES FOR THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

MARINE...

GUSTY SOUTH WINDS AND MODERATE SEAS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TOMORROW
AFTERNOON AS A STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES THE REGION FROM THE WEST.
ANTICIPATING A NOCTURNAL INCREASE IN WINDS TONIGHT AND CONTINUING
TOMORROW...THUS HAVE ISSUED A SCA FOR ALL WATERS THROUGH WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON. AS THE COLD FRONT PUSHES INTO THE COASTAL WATERS LATE
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...WINDS WILL SUBSIDE SOMEWHAT AND BRING A
BRIEF RESPITE FROM THE SCA CONDITIONS. HOWEVER...A MUCH STRONGER
COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE GULF WATERS LATE FRIDAY INTO
SATURDAY WILL BRING NEAR GALE FORCE WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS FOR THE

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF THE NORTHWEST
GULF OF MEXICO...CENTRAL LOUISIANA...SOUTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA...
SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA...WEST CENTRAL LOUISIANA AND SOUTHEAST TEXAS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WEST OF A LINE FROM LAKE
CHARLES TO LEESVILLE THROUGH TONIGHT. LARGE HAIL IS THE MAIN
CONCERN AS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER TEXAS APPROACHES. THERE IS A
MARGINAL THREAT FOR ROTATIN THUNDERSTORMS DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH
DAYTIME HEATING CAN DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE. ALTHOUGH THERE IS
SUFFICIENT LOW LEVEL SHEAR BELOW 5K FEET, RAIN COOLED AIR SHOULD
KEEP TEMPERATURES BELOW CONVECTIVE LEVELS.

THE MAIN ISSUE TODAY SHOULD BE HEAVY RAINFALL FROM LUFKIN TO LEESVILLE.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

A SECONDARY LOW LIFTING OUT OF SOUTH TEXAS COASTAL AREA AND INTO
OUR AREA WILL COMBINE WITH THE UPPER LEVEL TROF TO PRODUCE HEAVY
RAINFALL INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SHOWERS SHOULD TAPER OFF ON
THURSDAY AS THE MAIN TROF AXIS MOVES SLOWLY EAST. TOTAL RAINFALL
AMOUNTS SHOULD RANGE FROM AROUND AN INCH ALONG THE I-10 CORRIDOR
TO UPWARDS OF 4 TO 6 INCHES IN THE LAKES AREA OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS
AND CENTRAL LOUISIANA. FLOODING DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A PROBLEM AS
THE GROUND HAS BEEN VERY DRY SINCE IKE.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE REQUIRED THIS EVENING FOR A FEW EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS REACHING SEVERE LEVELS...MAINLY LARGE HAIL.
