.UPDATE...
UPDATED TO ADD 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 349 PM CST TUE JAN 29 2013/
DISCUSSION...
CURRENTLY...A COLD FRONT EXTENDS ACROSS EAST OKLAHOMA WITH A SOLID
LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF IT. OTHER
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF ARKANSAS.
CLOUDS HAVE BECOME MORE SCATTERED EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
OVER THE LAST FEW HOURS. SOUTHERLY WINDS HAVE INCREASED AND
TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE 70 DEGREES AT MOST LOCATIONS.
TONIGHT...EXPECT THE COLD FRONT TO APPROACH THE WESTERN PART OF
OUR FORECAST AREA LATE THIS EVENING...MOVING THROUGH MOST OUR AREA
LATE TONIGHT AND CLEARING OUR EASTERN COUNTIES SHORTLY AFTER
DAYBREAK. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE VERY LIKELY ALONG AND HEAD OF THE
FRONT TONIGHT WITH SOME STORMS SEVERE. MODELS STILL INDICATE
PLENTY OF INSTABILITY AND SHEAR WHICH WOULD FAVOR THE POTENTIAL FOR
DAMAGING WINDS...TORNADOES...AND HAIL. THE ONLY CAVEAT WHICH MIGHT
REDUCE THE RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER IS THE SURFACE LOW RIDING ALONG
THE FRONT TO OUR NORTHWEST IS NOT VERY STRONG AND THIS COULD
LIMIT THE SHEAR AND REDUCE THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT. WINDY
CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY AND THIS WILL SUPPORT THE CONTINUATION OF
THE WIND ADVISORY.
WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...A MORE POLAR-LIKE AIRMASS WILL DOMINATE
OUR WEATHER AS AN UPPER TROUGH BECOMES MORE ESTABLISHED OVER THE
REGION. A REINFORCING COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THURSDAY
EVENING PROVIDING A CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW OR FLURRIES OVER PARTS OF
THE AREA FOLLOWED BY COLDER WEATHER FRIDAY. THE WEEKEND WILL BE A
LITTLE WARMER WITH A DEVELOPING SOUTHERLY WIND ON THE BACK SIDE OF
A POLAR HIGH. THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE OF RAIN SATURDAY AHEAD OF A
WEAK COLD FRONT SATURDAY NIGHT.
MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...THE UPPER FLOW WILL BECOME MORE ZONAL. A
RETURN FLOW OF MOISTURE WILL DEVELOP MONDAY WHICH WILL PROVIDE MORE
CLOUDS AND A CHANCE OF RAIN. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE AND DRIER WEATHER TUESDAY.

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE TO MVFR CONDITIONS TONIGHT
AS A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY

FOR COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MAINLY BETWEEN
30/04-06Z AT JBR...30/06-08Z AT MEM...30/07-09Z AT MKL...AND
30/09-11 AT TUP. THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR

SOUTH WINDS BETWEEN 15 TO 20 KTS WITH GUSTS AVERAGING AROUND 30
KTS WILL VEER WEST THEN NORTHWEST WITH COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. VFR
