.SYNOPSIS...A BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH ROTATION HAS HAD A FEW

A COLD FRONT WITH ARCTIC ORIGINS CURRENTLY WEDGING INTO CENTRAL
TEXAS HAS A FRONTAL WAVE NEAR TYLER. FURTHER EAST, THE FRONT IS
CREEPING SOUTHWARD. A STRONG AND DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO THE
WEST IS PROVIDING INSTABILITY. SOUTHERLY WINDS BEHIND A WARM FRONT
FROM LUFKIN SOUTHEAST TO LAFAYETTE IS PROVIDING SUFFICIENT LOW
LEVEL SHEAR TO PRODUCE ROTATION.

&&

.SHORT TERM...GFS LOOKS TO BE HITTING THE RAIN TOO HARD TNITE.
BACKED OFF ON POPS AND WILL NOT ISSUE A FLOOD WATCH. WENT LOWER ON
TEMPS CONSIDERING DEW POINTS REAR OF THE FRONT NEAR 30 UPSTREAM

SOUTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA CAN EXPECT THIS FRONT LATER TONIGHT. MUCH
DRIER AIR IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT SHOULD CLEAR US OUT BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THRU THE WEEKEND STILL LOOKING DRY. A
POLAR OUTBREAK ON TUESDAY WITH ARCTIC AIR PLUNDERING THE UPPER

ABOVE THE FREEZING MARK FOR NOW.
