MOISTEN THE LOW LEVELS. LIGHT WINDS AND A CLEAR OVERNIGHT SKY HAS
PROMOTED RADIATIONAL FOG FORMATION AT KLCH AND KBPT...WHILE
FARTHER EAST...CLOUDS AROUND 3.5K FT ARE STREAMING NORTHEASTWARD
ACROSS THE LOWER ATCHAFALAYA BASIN NEAR KLFT AND KARA. VFR AT KAEX.

THE FOG AT KLCH AND KBPT IS EXPECTED TO HAVE ERODED BY 14Z AFTER A
LITTLE HEATING. I CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE ANY CLOUDS AT THESE TWO
SITES UNTIL LATER THIS EVENING...BUT VFR CLOUDS MOVING IN OFF THE
GULF SIMILAR TO KLFT AND KARA ARE POSSIBLE. IN ANY EVENT...VFR IS
FORECAST TO PREVAIL AT ALL TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON. THAT IS
EXPECTED TO CHANGE THIS EVENING AS MODEL TIME HEIGHTS AND FORECAST
SOUNDINGS SHOW LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BECOMING TRAPPED BENEATH A
SHALLOW INVERSION. HAVE SHOWN A STEADY CIG LOWERING AT ALL
TERMINALS DOWN TO IFR AROUND MIDNIGHT.

RAINFALL IS A BIT HARDER TO PIN DOWN...WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS POSSIBLE ALONG/AHEAD OF A FRONT EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH
THE AREA THROUGH THE EVENING/OVERNIGHT HOURS. RATHER THAN BUCKSHOT
THE FORECAST WITH VCSH...WOULD PREFER TO LET SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS
REFINE TIMING/LOCATION OF ANY IMPACTS IF POSSIBLE. WILL LEAVE
MENTION OF RAIN OUT AT THIS TIME.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 508 AM CST SUN FEB 6 2011/

SYNOPSIS...
SFC HIGH PRESSURE EAST OF THE AREA IS KEEPING A LIGHT SOUTHERLY
FLOW OVER THE AREA. TEMPERATURES THIS MORNING HAVE BEEN NEAR
FREEZING ACRS THE NRN ZONES WITH TEMPS ALONG THE I-10 CORRIDOR
IN THE MIDDLE 30S TO NEAR 40. A BROAD TROUGH WAS NOTED ALOFT OVER
THE CONUS.

DISCUSSION...
THE SFC HIGH WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST TODAY. SKIES WILL BE
MOSTLY SUNNY EARLY TODAY WITH CLOUDS GRADUALLY INCREASING DURING
THE AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES SHOULD ABOUT 10 DEGREES WARMER TODAY
THAN YESTERDAY WITH HIGHS INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S.

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT...BRINGING A
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS OVERNIGHT. THE RAIN WILL QUICKLY TAPER OFF FROM
WEST TO EAST EARLY MONDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE RIDGES IN FROM THE
NORTH...BRINGING ANOTHER ROUND OF COLDER TEMPERATURES MONDAY AND
MONDAY NIGHT.

A PROGRESSIVE PATTERN WILL BE IN PLACE THIS WEEK WITH THE SFC HIGH
QUICKLY SHIFTING EAST TUESDAY AS ANOTHER SYSTEM TAKES SHAPE WEST
OF THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT. AS A SHORTWAVE TREKS ACRS TX...SFC
LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OVER SRN TX AND MOVE EAST OVER THE NRN
GULF LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. THIS WILL BRING ANOTHER CHANCE
FOR RAIN WEDNESDAY. THE FCST BECOMES A LITTLE TRICKY AS COLDER AIR
SLIDES INTO THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND TEMPS COULD FALL BELOW
FREEZING BEFORE ALL OF THE PRECIPITATION MOVES OUT OF THE AREA. IN
OTHER WORDS...THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF SOME WINTRY PRECIPITATION
BY EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. AT THIS TIME...HAVE INCLUDED A CHANCE
OF LIGHT FREEZING DRIZZLE OVER THE NRN ZONES AFTER 06Z
THURS...WITH JUST LIGHT RAIN ELSEWHERE. THIS THINKING IS BASED ON
A COMBINATION OF FCST SOUNDINGS AND TIME HEIGHT DATA WITH MOISTURE
CONTAINED MOSTLY BELOW 700 MB AND WEAK LIFT AS BEST ENERGY WILL BE
EAST OF THE AREA.

DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA THURSDAY...WITH PRECIPITATION
ENDING DURING THE MORNING OVER THE ERN ZONES. COLD AIR LOOKS TO
STAY IN PLACE THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK WITH A SFC HIGH SETTLING
OVER THE GULF COAST STATES. A WARMING TREND WILL DEVELOP OVER THE
WEEKEND WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW RETURNING.

MARINE...
LIGHT TO MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW WILL PERSIST TODAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
RESIDES TO OUR EAST. A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE COASTAL WATERS
TONIGHT. STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW WILL DEVELOP IN ITS WAKE LATE
TONIGHT INTO MONDAY WITH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS POSSIBLE
ON MONDAY. THE PROGRESSIVE PATTERN IN PLACE WILL ALLOW FOR QUICK
PASSING HIGH PRESSURE TO BE FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER COLD FRONT LATE
WEDNESDAY.
