.SYNOPSIS...
LATEST UPPER AIR ANALYSIS AND WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS UPPER TROF
AXIS FM THE WRN GRT LAKES EXTENDING SW INTO WRN TX. SWRLY FLOW
AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM WAS BRINGING MOISTURE OVER THE AREA. AT THE
SFC...COLD FRONT HAS BEEN NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE SABINE RIVER
VALLEY...BUT RECENT OBS INDICATE SOME EASTWARD MOVEMENT THE PAST
FEW HOURS. CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT HAS HELPED TO PRODUCE
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTN OVER WRN LA AND SE
TX. WHILE NO SEVERE WEATHER HAS BEEN DETECTED...A FEW OF THE
STORMS OVER SE TX HAVE INTENSIFIED OVER THE PAST HALF HOUR.

AHEAD OF THE FRONT...A WARM MOIST AIRMASS IS IN PLACE WITH
TEMPERATURES INTO THE MIDDLE AND UPPER 80S. IN CONTRAST...JASPER
TX HAS BEEN BEHIND THE FRONT THROUGHOUT THE DAY...AND TEMPERATURES
HAVE STRUGGLED TO RISE ABOVE THE MIDDLE 70S. MORE
INTERESTINGLY...THE FRONT HAS SETTLED BETWEEN TWO OBSERVATION
SITES IN BEAUMONT TX SINCE ABOUT 17Z. THROUGH 20Z...KBMT...AN
AWOS...HAS HAD NW WINDS WITH TEMPS IN THE UPPER 70S THIS
AFTN...WHILE 14 MILES TO THE SE...KBPT...OUR OFFICIAL ASOS

.DISCUSSION...
THE UPPER TROF WILL MOVE EAST TONIGHT...HELPING TO NUDGE THE FRONT
ACRS THE AREA. SCT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED THIS
AFTN AND EVENING ALONG THE CONVERGENCE ZONE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
BOUNDARY. ADEQUATE AFTN HEATING HAS TAKEN PLACE ACRS THE LA ZONES
TODAY RESULTING IN CAPES AROUND 2000 J/KG...AND A FEW OF THE
STORMS COULD BE STRONG OR POSSIBLY SEVERE DURING THE LATE AFTN AND
EARLY EVENING HOURS. AT THIS TIME...THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
WEATHER SHOULD REMAIN MARGINAL AND ISOLATED...AND WITH BETTER UPPER
LEVEL ENERGY WEST AND NORTH OF THE AREA...DO NOT EXPECT ANY
ORGANIZED OR WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER.

THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AS WELL AS ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE

TUESDAY AFTN. MUCH COOLER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA AS WELL AND
MORNING LOWS ON TUESDAY WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 50S ACRS
MUCH OF THE AREA.

DRIER AIR WILL FINALLY MOVE INTO THE AREA TUESDAY AFTN AS HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE REGION. SKIES ARE NOT EXPECTED TO CLEAR
UNTIL TUESDAY AFTN...AND MAX TEMPS WILL DEPEND ON HOW QUICKLY
THEY CLEAR. AT THIS TIME...EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO STAY ON THE COOL
SIDE...WITH HIGHS ONLY REACHING THE MIDDLE 60S ACRS PORTIONS OF
CNTL LA...WHILE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S WILL BE POSSIBLE ACRS SE
TX.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
WEEK...KEEPING A DRY PATTERN IN PLACE THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND. A
GENERAL WARMING TREND WILL BEGIN THURSDAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AS THE HIGH MOVES EAST OF THE AREA AND SRLY WINDS DEVELOP.

&&

.MARINE...

AND A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE IN EFFECT TONIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING. WINDS WILL DIMINISH ON WEDNESDAY...GRADUALLY
SHIFTING EAST THEN SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.
