Area forecast discussion, Mar 20, 4:09 AM CDT, 4 hours 23 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA
409 AM CDT TUE MAR 20 2012

.DISCUSSION...
CLOSED UPPER LOW CENTERED OVER EASTERN NEW MEXICO THIS MORNING
WILL DRIFT SLOWLY EAST OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. MODELS AGREE ON A
LOCATION AROUND KSPS. THIS WILL ALLOW A SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE
WIDESPREAD TEXAS CONVECTION...NOW LOCATED FROM NEAR KLRD TO KTXK...
TO SHIFT EAST INTO NORTH LOUISIANA AND SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS. WILL
KEEP THE CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH AS IS...WHICH BASICALLY
FOLLOWS THIS SLOW MOVEMENT. WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER LOOKS UNLIKELY...
AS A CAPPED ATMOSPHERE CONTINUES AHEAD OF THE CONVECTION...WHERE THE
WARMER SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON.
HOWEVER...WITH A 60 KT LOW LEVEL JET IN PLACE...DAMAGING WIND IS
POSSIBLE IN ANY THUNDERSTORM. ALSO LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WOULD BE
CONDUCIVE TO ROTATING STORMS...BUT IF COOL OUTFLOW FROM EXISTING
CONVECTION OVERTAKES THE HIGHER TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS...CHANCES OF
A SPIN UP WOULD BE GREATLY DIMINISHED. ON WEDNESDAY...THE
EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE UPPER LOW STOPS...SO RAINFALL LIKELY
TO CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA. RAINFALL RATES SHOULD DIMINISH
SOME...SO FLOODING MAY BECOME RESTRICTED TO RIVERS ONLY. BY
THURSDAY...DRY AIR IS ENTRAINED INTO THE CIRCULATION AROUND THE
LOW...WITH RAIN CHANCES DECREASING AREA WIDE. ON FRIDAY...THE LOW
MOVES NORTHEAST...LEAVING DRY AIR OVER THE CWA FOR THE REMAINDER
OF THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST PERIOD.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE DIFFICULT TO PREDICT TODAY...AS COOL OUTFLOW
FROM CURRENT CONVECTION SPREADS EAST. THINK THERE WILL A SHARP
LINE SET UP BETWEEN THE CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW AND WARM AIR...BUT THE
LOCATION IS A GUESS...WITH WARM AIR POSSIBLY SHIFTING BACK WEST IN
THE AFTERNOON. WITH SOUTHERLY SURFACE WIND EXPECTED TO CONTINUE IN
THE SHORT TERM...TRENDED ABOVE GUIDANCE UNTIL THE SYSTEM LEAVES
THE AREA.

&&

MVFR/VFR FLIGHT CATEGORIES ARE BEING OBSERVED ACROSS THE AREA THIS
MORNING...AS WE CONTINUE TO WAIT ON TSRA ACTIVITY TO MOVE DEEP INTO
THE AREA. TSRA ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY AFFECT THE TYR AND TXK TERMINALS
BEFORE THE 12Z ISSUANCE. BOTH THESE TERMINALS ARE REPORTING
LIGHTNING WITHIN DISTANCE. A WET FORECAST IS STILL IN STORE FOR MANY
OF THE ARKLATEX TERMINALS TODAY...AS TSRA WILL BE COMMON THROUGHOUT
THE 12Z TAF PERIOD. VFR FLIGHT CATEGORIES WILL PREVAIL AFTER 15Z
ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA...EXCEPT WHEN TSRA ACTIVITY IS OCCURRING
MVFR/IFR WILL BE MORE COMMON FOR CIG AND VSBY. THE PREVAILING WIND
WILL REMAIN SOUTHERLY ACROSS THE AREA AT 15 TO 25 KTS...BUT COULD BE
MUCH STRONGER AND VARIABLE NEAR +TSRA ACTIVITY. /11/
