FLOODING RAINS AND STRONG WINDS POSSIBLE TODAY...

DISCUSSION...A WARM FRONT IS SLOWLY LIFTING NORTH AND IS NEARING THE
COASTAL SECTIONS OF THE CWA WHILE LOW PRESSURE ORGANIZES OVER
SOUTH TX. THE SURFACE LOW WILL MOVE NE TODAY AND IS EXPECTED TO
TRAVEL FROM AROUND THE HOUSTON/GALVESTON AREA ROUGHLY ACROSS LCH,
AND THEN TOWARD OPELOUSAS AND MARKSVILLE. THE WARM FRONT WILL ALSO
LIFT NORTH ROUGHLY TO ALONG THAT LINE WITH THE COOLER AIR MASS
NORTH AND THE WARMER AND HIGHER TD AIR MASS TO THE SOUTH. ALSO
THROUGH TODAY, THE SHORT WAVE IN W TX, NM, AND N MEXICO WILL MOVE
NE WHILE SLOWLY FLATTENING. HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT, UPPER DIVERGENCE
AND SURFACE LIFT WILL PROVIDE AMPLE RAINFALL TO THE REGION TODAY
AND A FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT THROUGH 6 PM. DUE TO COOLER AIR MASS
TO THE NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT SVR POTENTIAL WILL BE MINIMAL
ACROSS THE NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA, HOWEVER IN THE WARM

STORM WITH HIGH WINDS BEING THE MAIN THREAT. CAPE IS EXPECTED TO
BE FAIRLY LOW, HOWEVER SHEAR WILL BE VERY GOOD, AND WITH THE LARGER
HODOGRAPH COMES THE THREAT OF AN ISOLATED TORNADO AS WELL.

THIS EVENING THE LOW WILL MOVE EAST OF THE CWA AND RAIN CHANCES
WILL DECREASE. A COOLER AND DRIER AIR MASS WILL MOVE INTO THE
REGION FOR SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES BY. MONDAY THE RIDGE WILL
MOVE TO ALONG THE ATLANTIC COAST STARTING THE RETURN FLOW LOCALLY.
A WEAK FRONT IS EXPECTED TO DRIFT INTO THE AREA TUE WITH ONLY A
SLIGHT INC IN POPS. RAIN CHANCES WILL INC A BIT MORE ON WED AS A
SHORT WAVE PASS THE REGION ALONG WITH ANOTHER WEAK FRONT.

MARINE...WINDS AND WAVES WILL INC TODAY AHEAD OF A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS FAR SE TX AND S LA. AS THE LOW MOVES
E TO NE AND AWAY FROM THE AREA STRONG NW WINDS ARE EXPECTED AS
RIDGE BUILDS IN. THIS WILL CAUSE SCA CONDITIONS ACROSS THE GULF
WATERS THROUGH TONIGHT AND INTO SUNDAY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL QUICKLY
MOVE ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY AND MONDAY WITH WINDS AND SEAS
DECREASING.
