.AVIATION [02.18/03.00Z KMOB/KBFM AND KPNS TAF ISSUANCE]...SATELLITE
SHOWS HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS SPREADING IN FROM THE WEST. BASES WELL
WITHIN VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED IN THE SHORTER TERM. A LIGHT
SOUTHEAST WIND THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. EAST NORTHEAST WINDS 3 TO 6
KNOTS WITH CIG BASES LOWERING TO IFR LEVELS OVERNIGHT. INDICATIONS
ARE THAT LIGHT RAINS MAY BEGIN AROUND DAYBREAK. EAST NORTHEAST WINDS
INCREASE TO 12 TO 17 KNOTS AFTER 03.12Z DUE TO PRESSURE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN HIGH TO THE NORTH AND LOWERING SURFACE PRESSURES OVER THE
WESTERN GULF. /10

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1030 AM CDT TUE APR 2 2013

.UPDATE...LATE AM UPDATE WILL BE TO REMOVE FOG FROM ZONES. SEEING
HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS SPREADING EASTWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHERN STATES AS
UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM AND HEIGHT FALLS DIG EASTWARD INTO THE FOUR
CORNERS OF THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. CLOUDS SHOULD REMAIN THIN ENOUGH FOR
ENOUGH INSOLATION TO YIELD A WARM DAY...HIGHS IN THE MID/UPPER 70S ON
AVERAGE. /10

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 510 AM CDT MON APR 2 2013/

SHORT TERM [TODAY AND TONIGHT]...STRONG HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE
TO THE NORTH CONTINUES TO SHIFT SOUTH TOWARDS THE COAST. TO THE WEST
A DEVELOPING SFC LOW OVER SOUTHERN TEXAS IS STILL FORECAST TO MOVE
EAST NEARING THE WESTERN GULF WATERS BY 12Z WED. WITH THIS PATTERN
EASTERLY WINDS WILL BEGIN TO BUILD LATER TODAY AND OVERNIGHT. CLOUDS
WILL ALSO BE ON THE INCREASE GENERALLY FROM WEST TO EAST LATER TODAY
AND TONIGHT AS BETTER MOISTURE IN THE LOWER AND MIDDLE LAYERS OF THE
ATMOSPHERE BEGINS TO SHIFT EAST OVER THE CENTRAL GULF COAST REGION.
SHOWERS WITH A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BEGIN TO EMERGE OVER
THE ADJACENT GULF WATERS OF MS AND AL BY EARLY WED MORNING. AS FOR
TEMPS WILL LEAN VERY CLOSE TO THE CURRENT MAV GUIDANCE THROUGH
TONIGHT. DUE TO INCREASING CLOUDS FROM THE WEST WILL NOT STRAY TO FAR
ABOVE THE CURRENT MOS GUIDANCE FOR HIGH TEMPS TODAY...GENERALLY
RANGING FROM THE MID TO UPPER 70S FOR MOST AREAS. TONIGHTS LOW TEMPS
WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S WELL INLAND AND IN THE MID
50S CLOSER TO THE COAST. 32/EE

[WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT]...AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING
EAST OUT OF THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES WEDNESDAY MORNING WILL DEEPEN OVER
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND SOUTHEAST STATES THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF
THE SHORT TERM. MEANWHILE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN
GULF OF MEXICO WILL QUICKLY LIFT NORTHEASTWARD TOWARD THE VICINITY
OF THE NORTHERN GULF COAST LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY
MORNING...AND THEN PASSES JUST SOUTH OF OUR COAST THURSDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING.

SHORT RANGE MODEL SOLUTIONS CONTINUE TO SIGNAL AT AN ASSOCIATED
LARGE SCALE DEEP LAYER LIFT OVER THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY. WE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW A BLEND OF SOLUTIONS FOR THIS
FORECAST PACKAGE...KEEPING POPS INTO THE LIKELY CATEGORY ACROSS OUR
FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON. ALSO
KEPT MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION IN FORM OF MODERATE RAIN SHOWERS FOR
WEDNESDAY...BUT DID INTRODUCED SLIGHT CHANCE OF EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY DUE TO ENHANCED UPPER
SUPPORT. MAINTAINED LIKELY THUNDERSTORMS OVER ALL AREAS THURSDAY AS
THE ATMOSPHERE BECOMES INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH.

LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS NEXT SYSTEM...AND
THE LOCATION OF THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL WILL DEPEND ON THE TRACK OF
THE SURFACE LOW...AS WELL AS TIMING OF THE APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH FROM THE WEST. CURRENTLY WE ARE EXPECTING WIDESPREAD
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF TWO TO THREE INCHES...WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS
EXPECTED ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-10. SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL CURRENTLY
LOOKS TO BE LOW WITH THIS UPCOMING SYSTEM...BUT WILL HAVE TO WATCH
FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF STRONGER STORMS BY THURSDAY IF INSTABILITY
INCREASES MORE THAN CURRENTLY INDICATED.

HIGH TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY WILL BE IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S.
LOWS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL RANGE BETWEEN 55 AND 60 DEGREES...EXCEPT
LOWER 60S ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST. HIGHS THURSDAY WILL RANGE
BETWEEN 68 AND 75 DEGREES. /22

LONG TERM [FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY]...IT WILL BE DRY THROUGH THE
UPCOMING WEEKEND AS WEAK UPPER RIDGING OR ZONAL FLOW BUILDS OVER THE
REGION AND A STRONG SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATES THE EASTERN
CONUS. SCATTERED TO BROKEN CIRRUS CLOUDS WILL INVADE FROM THE WEST
LATE IN THE WEEK AS ANOTHER LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW FORMS OVER THE
SOUTHWEST CONUS. A SURFACE LOW IS EXPECTED TO FORM ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN OR CENTRAL PLAINS EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH LOW LEVEL CLOUDS
INCREASING OVER THE WEEKEND AND RAIN CHANCES INCREASING LATE MONDAY
AND TUESDAY.

HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 60S ON FRIDAY WILL WARM INTO THE MID
TO UPPER 70S BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. /22

CONTINUING THROUGH 12Z WED. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE EARLY
TODAY BECOMING EAST THEN SOUTHEAST AT 8 TO 12 KNOTS LATER THIS
MORNING CONTINUING THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING SHIFTING BACK TO THE

MARINE...A LIGHT ONSHORE FLOW WILL DEVELOP BY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON
THEN BUILD LATE TONIGHT THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY IN RESPONSE TO A
DEVELOPING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE TRACKING EASTWARD OVER THE NORTHERN
GULF. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED AHEAD OF
THIS SYSTEM MOSTLY WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. AS THIS SYSTEM TRACKS
EAST OF THE MARINE AREA ON THURSDAY WINDS WILL BECOME MOSTLY
NORTHWEST AND BUILD LATE THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY IN RESPONSE TO A
STRONG COLD FRONT MOVING SOUTHWARD ACROSS MUCH OF THE NORTHERN GULF.
A LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL REDEVELOP OVER THE WEEKEND AS HIGH
PRESSURE SHIFTS EAST TO THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES
MAY BE REQUIRED BEGINNING LATE WEDNESDAY CONTINUING THROUGH FRIDAY
