NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA
538 AM CDT MON MAY 2 2011

.DISCUSSION...

THIS MORNING A SLOW MOVING AND ALMOST STATIONARY COLD FRONT DROPS
SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE FOUR STATE REGION FROM SOUTH CENTRAL ARKANSAS
THROUGH NORTHWEST LOUISIANA...AND INTO DEEP EAST TEXAS AND DOWN
THE LOWER TEXAS COAST INTO SURFACE LOW PRESSURE NEAR BROWNSVILLE TEXAS.
GULF MOISTURE CONTINUED TO OVERRIDE THE SURFACE BOUNDARY ALONG
WITH A PACIFIC CONNECTION OF MOISTURE ALOFT IN THE WESTERLY FLOW
AROUND AND UPPER TROUGH...THAT DROPPED FROM THE CENTRAL ROCKIES
INTO MEXICO. THERE MAY BE A FEW STRONG AND ISOLATED SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF EAST TEXAS AND ACROSS NORTHWEST AND
NORTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA AND SOUTH CENTRAL ARKANSAS NEAR THE BOUNDARY
BUT THE OVERALL THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER TO THE REAR OF THE
SURFACE FRONT HAS TRANSITIONED TO MORE OF A HEAVY RAIN EVENT.
THE RAINS HAVE CONTINUED TO DEVELOP AND SPREAD TO THE NORTHEAST
ACROSS NORTHEAST TEXAS AND INTO SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA...AND SOUTHWEST
ARKANSAS...WHICH WILL START TO AFFECT SOME OF THE SMALLER
CREEKS...STREAMS...AND RIVERS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH AREA MAY PRODUCE QUICK WATER RUNOFF THIS
MORNING...RESULTING IN THE ISSUANCE OF AREAL FLOOD ADVISORIES OR
FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS. DISTURBANCES ALOFT MOVING AROUND THE BASE OF
THE TROUGH OUT TO THE WEST HAS INCREASED THE AREAL COVERAGE OF RAINFALL
OVER MUCH OF NORTH TEXAS AND IS HEADING TOWARD THE FOUR STATE REGION
AND WILL BE TRAINING ACROSS THE FOUR STATE REGION TODAY AND
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT. THE UPPER TROUGH WILL START TO
MOVE EAST SENDING THE SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SOUTHEAST AND OUT
OF THE AREA DURING THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...BUT RAINFALL WILL
CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE FORECAST AREA INTO THE DAY TUESDAY. AS THE
UPPER TROUGH AXIS SWINGS ACROSS THE AREA ENDING THE RA...HIGH
PRESSURE ON THE SURFACE AND ALOFT WILL MOVE OVER THE AREA AND
PROVIDE A COOL BUT DRY PERIOD INTO MID TO LATE WEEK. TEMPERATURES
WILL BE WARMING BY LATE WEEK AS THE FORECAST AREA WILL REMAIN
UNDER HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE ALOFT AND BACK SIDE OF SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS. /06/

&&

.AVIATION...

SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO ADVANCE EAST ACROSS THE FOUR
STATE REGION EARLY IN THE 12Z TAF CYCLE LIKELY MOVING EAST OF KMLU
BY 21Z MONDAY. MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS STILL LOCATED OVER THE SRN
ROCKIES AND IS ONLY FORECAST TO BE OVER THE OZARKS BY 12Z TUESDAY.
THUS...WIDESPREAD POST FRONTAL PRECIP IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE AND
SPREAD EWD THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. OCCASIONAL IFR CONDITIONS CAN BE
EXPECTED. RAIN IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH FROM NW TO SE AFTER 06Z
TUESDAY. AS THE FRONT PASSES....WINDS WILL SHIFT TO NLY WITH SPEEDS
GENERALLY AROUND 12 KTS. /09/
