AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA
1034 AM CDT MON APR 2 2012

.DISCUSSION...
QUITE A BUSY MORNING WITH CONVECTION CONTINUING TO INCREASE TO OUR
SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST. MORNING MCS IS ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE
CLOSED UPPER TROUGH TO OUR SOUTHWEST AND THE COLD POOL OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE MCS IS MOVING RAPIDLY NORTH AND
EAST. THE LEADING EDGE OF THIS BOUNDARY IS JUST SOUTH OF OUR
SOUTHERN MOST CWA ATTM. 15Z TEMPS ALREADY SHOWING MID TO UPPER 70S
AS FAR NORTH AS THE I-20 CORRIDOR WITH DEWPOINTS NEAR 70 DEGREES.
LAPSE INSTABILITY ANALYSIS SHOWING 2500+ J/KG CAPE VALUES ALREADY
AS FAR NORTH AS I-20 WITH 3K ACROSS THE LOWER TOLEDO BEND AND SAM
RAYBURN COUNTRY OF DEEP EAST TEXAS INTO WEST CENTRAL LA AS OF 15Z.
LOOK FOR THIS INSTABILITY TO INCREASE AS WE HEAD INTO THE
AFTERNOON HOURS. NORTHWARD MOVING COLD POOL OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
SHOULD PROVIDE THE FOCUS WITH THE DYNAMICS PROVIDED BY THE MCS TO
OUR SOUTH AND WEST. LAPSE RATES ARE SUPPORT OF LARGE HAIL AND WIND
DAMAGE WITH THE STRONG/SEVERE CONVECTION THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

SVR WATCH 126 CURRENTLY IN EFFECT FOR THE SOUTHERN HALF OF NORTHEAST
TEXAS AND NORTHERN LOUISIANA UNTIL 5 PM CDT.

AFTN FCST MAX TEMPS IN GOOD SHAPE GIVEN THE INCREASE IN CLOUD
COVER BUT DID BUMP RAIN CHANCES UPWARDS GIVEN THE CURRENT AND FCST
TRENDS.

UPDATED ZONES/WCN ALREADY SENT.
