AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA
403 AM CST MON FEB 6 2012

.DISCUSSION...
NO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER EVENTS FOR THIS REGION DURING THE UPCOMING
SEVEN DAY FORECAST PERIOD. MAIN CHANGE WILL BE TEMPERATURES
TRENDING TOWARD THE COLD SIDE...WITH A SERIES OF COLD FRONTS. IN
THE UPPER LEVELS...THE LOW CURRENTLY OVER THE CENTRAL ROCKIES WILL
BEGIN TO SHIFT EAST TODAY. AS IT DOES...A SLIGHT INCREASE IN
MOISTURE WILL OCCUR FROM SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT...BRINGING A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF RAIN TO SOUTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE AREA BY LATE TONIGHT.
THE MOISTURE WILL INTERACT WITH THE FIRST FRONT TUESDAY...
BRINGING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN TO MOST OF THE CWA. AS THE UPPER
TROUGH EXITS EAST TUESDAY NIGHT...ZONAL FLOW ALOFT WILL BRING SOME
DRYING...WHICH WILL CONTINUE UNTIL AT LEAST 00Z FRIDAY. MODELS
STILL DRIVING A CLOSED LOW SOUTH ALONG THE WEST COAST INTO BAJA BY
WEDNESDAY...BRINGING MOISTURE INTO MEXICO AND SOUTH TEXAS.
EVENTUALLY THIS MOISTURE SPREADS OVER MOST OF WEST AND CENTRAL
TEXAS AND INTO EAST TEXAS BY FRIDAY. MODELS STILL DISAGREE WITH
HOW THE CUTOFF LOW INTERACTS WITH A NORTHERN TROUGH...AND THIS
WILL DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF RAINFALL ACROSS THIS REGION. WILL
KEEP POPS LOW AT THIS TIME...WITH THE BEST TIMING FOR RAIN FRIDAY
AND FRIDAY NIGHT. THEN AS THE NORTHERN TROUGH KICKS EAST...A
STRONG ARCTIC FRONT WILL SWING ACROSS THE MID SECTION OF THE
COUNTRY WITH MUCH COLDER AIR REACHING THIS AREA SATURDAY. FOR NOW
WILL END THE PRECIPITATION...BUT STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY WITH A
CUTOFF LOW SOMEWHERE TO THE SOUTHWEST. IF THE POSITION OF THE LOW
CHANGES MORE TO THE NORTH THAN MODELS ARE SHOWING...WINTER
PRECIPITATION MAY HAVE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE FORECAST FOR NEXT
WEEKEND. BUT FOR NOW WILL GO WITH THE MODELS...KEEPING THE
FORECAST DRY SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY.
