Area forecast discussion, Sep 30, 3:24 AM CDT, 1 hour 23 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA
324 AM CDT SUN SEP 30 2012

.DISCUSSION...
GOING TO BE BRIEF AND TO THE POINT THIS MORNING...AS THERE IS
QUITE A BIT OF WEATHER OCCURRING ACROSS THE AREA. FIRST...SURFACE
LOW SLIDING EASTWARD...CURRENTLY LOCATED ABOUT 100 MILES WSW FROM
LUFKIN TX. THIS FEATURE HAS A LARGE RAIN SHIELD ASSOCIATED WITH
IT WHICH EXTENDS FROM SOUTH OF LAKE CHARLES LA NORTHWARD TO LITTLE
ROCK AR. THIS LARGE AREA OF RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY SLIDE
EAST THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY. RAINFALL TOTALS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
THE MAIN PROBLEM...AS FLASH FLOODING HAS ALREADY BEEN OCCURRING
NEAR THE NACOGDOCHES TEXAS AREA THIS MORNING. AXIS OF HEAVIER RAIN
WILL EXTEND NORTHEAST GENERALLY FROM CENTER TX TO RUSTON LA AND
POINTS TO THE SOUTH. A SECONDARY BAND OF HEAVY RAINFALL HAS SETUP
THIS MORNING FROM MARSHALL TX EASTWARD ACROSS THE CADDO-BOSSIER
AREA TOWARD MINDEN. RAINFALL AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN HIGH...BUT RAINFALL RATES
HAVE NOT BEEN AS INTENSE AS POINTS FURTHER TO THE SOUTH...BUT THIS
BEARS WATCHING REGARDLESS.

WILL KEEP FLASH FLOOD WATCH GOING IN ITS CURRENT
CONFIGURATION...BUT WILL LIKELY PULL EAST TEXAS COUNTIES OUT
SOMETIME THIS MORNING AS THE THREAT SHIFTS EAST. THE OTHER THREAT
TODAY...BESIDES THE HEAVY RAINFALL...WILL BE STRONG WINDS ACROSS
THE AREA. WITH THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHT ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS
ARRIVING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...HAVE DECIDED TO ISSUE LAKE WIND
ADVISORY BEGINNING AT 12Z FOR NEARLY THE WHOLE AREA. HAVE ELECTED
TO KEEP OUT SOUTHEAST AREAS OF THE CWA...THESE AREAS ARE ALONG
AND TO THE SOUTH OF A MONROE TO NATCHITOCHES LA LINE. AREAS UNDER
THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY CAN EXPECT 15 TO 20 PLUS MPH WINDS
TODAY...WITH GUSTS ABOVE 30 MPH AT TIMES. OF PARTICULAR CONCERN
WITH THIS HIGH WIND THREAT IS THE SATURATED GROUND ACROSS EAST
TEXAS AND NW LA. WITH SOME LOCATIONS RECEIVING CLOSE TO 7 INCHES
OF RAIN ALREADY...AND MORE RAINFALL TO COME...EXPECT QUITE A FEW
TREES TO BE DOWNED. WINDS WILL ALSO BE SHIFTING IN DIRECTION FROM
NE TO N TO NW AS THE CENTER OF PRESSURE PASSES TO THE
SOUTHEAST...PUTTING PARTICULAR STRAIN ON AREA TREES.

EXPECT DRIER AIR BY TUESDAY ACROSS THE FOUR STATE REGION...WITH
COOLER MAX/MIN TEMPS. MAY SEE A SLIGHT WARMUP IN ADVANCE OF THE
NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM...EXPECTED TO COME INTO THE AREA LATER IN THE
WEEK. QUESTIONS STILL REMAIN ON TIMING OF THIS FEATURE...WITH EURO
BEING MUCH SLOWER THAN THE AGGRESSIVE GFS THIS MORNING. THE EURO
WAITS UNTIL THE WEEKEND TO BRING THE FRONT IN...WHILE THE GFS IS
SET ON BRINGING THE FRONT IN BY FRIDAY. AS THIS SYSTEM IS STILL 5
TO 6 DAYS OUT...WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR FURTHER GUIDANCE ON TIMING
WITH FUTURE FORECASTS.

&&

.AVIATION...
07Z SFC ANALYSIS SHOWING A STRONG SFC LOW NEAR CLL WITH A STRONG
PRESSURE GRADIENT SURROUNDING THIS LOW. THIS LOW WILL FILL SLIGHTLY
AS IT MOVES NORTHEAST TOWARDS THE TOLEDO BEND RESERVOIR BY 15Z AND
NEAR OR JUST EAST OF AEX BY 00Z MON. GIVEN THE TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT SURROUNDING THE LOW ITSELF...WE'RE ALREADY SEEING SUSTAINED
NE WINDS NEAR 10-14KTS WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS 25KTS ACROSS OUR NE TX
TERMINALS AS WELL AS THE SHV TERMINAL. AS THE DAY GOES ON...EXPECT
THOSE WINDS TO BACK AROUND TO A MORE NORTHERLY DIRECTION AND
INCREASE WITH SUSTAINED WINDS NEAR 15 TO 20KTS WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS
35KTS ACROSS OUR NE TX TERMINALS AS WELL AS THE SHV AND ELD
TERMINALS.

WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN WITH POCKETS OF HEAVY RAINFALL
CONTINUE TO COVER THE ENTIRE REGION EARLY THIS MORNING BUT EXPECT
THIS RAINFALL TO GRADUALLY TAPER OFF ACROSS NE TX LATER THIS MORNING
WITH THE RAIN HOLDING ON THROUGH THE AFTERNOON ACROSS THE REMAINING
TERMINAL LOCATIONS. CEILINGS FOR THE MOST PART ARE IFR AND EXPECT
THOSE CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE DAY BEFORE CEILINGS
IMPROVE LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING ACROSS OUR NE TX TERMINALS.
ELSEWHERE...IFR CEILINGS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY INTO
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS WITH PERHAPS SOME IMPROVEMENT AT THE SHV
TERMINAL AFTER 00Z.

VISIBILITIES WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN AS WELL WITH THE HEAVIER
RAINBANDS. EXPECT WIDESPREAD 3-5 MILES WITH PERIODS OF 1-2 MILES
ALONG THE I-20 TERMINAL LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. /13/
