.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 750 PM CDT THU MAR 22 2012/

UPDATE...

SOUNDING DISCUSSION...

A CONTINUED MOIST ATMOSPHERE WITH A PW OF 1.55 INCHES. A NEARLY
SATURATED SOUNDING FROM THE SURFACE UP TO AROUND 630 MB. A TONGUE
OF VERY DRY AIR HAS WORKED ITS WAY DOWN TO JUST ABOVE 600 MB. A
LIGHT EASTERLY FLOW IN THE LOWEST LEVELS BELOW 1000 FEET ASL WITH
A LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW FROM AROUND 1000 FEET ASL
ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH THE UPPER LEVELS.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 409 PM CDT THU MAR 22 2012/

DISSCUSSION...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE STILL ONGOING ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI
GULF COAST. RIGHT NOW ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA THE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DIMINISHED AS THE BOUNDARY HAS SLOWLY MOVED TO
THE EAST OF THE AREA. HOWEVER...ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE AS THE BOUNDARY HANGS UP ACROSS THE AREA.
SOME MODELS ACTUALLY HAVE THE BOUNDARY RETREATING BACK TO THE WEST
A TOUCH TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. THE NAM IS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE WITH
THIS HAPPENING. THE NAM SHOWS A SMALL THETA-E RIDGE PUSHING BACK
TO THE WEST AS WELL AS A NARROW TONGUE OF HIGHER INSTABILITY. THE
GFS AND ECMWF ARE NOT AS BULLISH...BUT THUNDERSTORMS ARE CURRENTLY
REDEVELOPING OVER THE GULF. HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP THUNDERSTORMS IN
THE FORECAST TONIGHT AS WELL AS FOR TOMORROW. A FEW OF THE
THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW COULD BE SEVERE MAINLY ALONG THE COASTAL
AREAS OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA AND MISSISSIPPI. THE MAIN THREATS
WITH THE STORMS AGAIN WILL BE HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS. HAVE
DECIDED TO EXTEND FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR AREAS EAST OF INTERSTATE
55 THROUGH NOON FRIDAY DUE TO ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL WITH
REDEVELOPING STORMS AND THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE SYSTEM.

CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE SATURDAY AS THE UPPER LOW FINALLY EJECTS
OUT OF THE REGION. THE BOUNDARY WILL STILL BE JUST OFF THE
COAST...A FEW SHOWERS ARE STILL POSSIBLE SATURDAY MAINLY ALONG THE
COAST. DRIER AIR FILTERS INTO THE REGION SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN THROUGH WEDNESDAY. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOW
80S AND LOWS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOW 60S THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD. 13/MH

AVIATION...
DIFFICULT DISTINGUISHING ANY APPRECIABLE BREAKS WITHIN PERSISTENT
AREA OF CLOUDINESS BOUNCING BETWEEN IFF AND MVFR ALONG AND AHEAD OF
STALLED SURFACE TROUGH. GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH
ABOUT 04Z AT KBTR AND KMCB BEFORE WARM AIR ADVECTION BRINGS SOME IFR
AND LIFR FOG CONDITIONS GENERALLY BETWEEN 09Z-13Z. CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED TO IMPROVE TO VFR FROM WEST TO EAST GENERALLY AFTER 21Z.

MARINE...
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS STILL IN EFFECT FOR SOME AREAS OF THE
COASTAL WATERS. A STALLED FRONT ACROSS THE GULF SHOULD BE THE
FOCUS OF SOME THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVER THE WATERS. SEAS WILL
DIMINISH TONIGHT TO 3 TO 5 FEET AND WINDS AROUND 5 TO 10 KNOTS.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN SATURDAY AND SETS IN PLACE THROUGH THE
REST OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. 13/MH
