...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1245 AM CDT FOR
MCCURTAIN...SEVIER AND LITTLE RIVER COUNTIES...

AT 956 PM CDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGISTS CONTINUED TO 
DETECT THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING VERY HEAVY RAIN OVER THE WARNED AREA.

LOCATIONS IN THE WARNING INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO GILLHAM AND
DE QUEEN

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL
CREEKS AND STREAMS...COUNTRY ROADS...AS WELL AS FARMLAND ALONG THE
BANKS OF CREEKS AND STREAMS.

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA
348 PM CDT SUN JUN 16 2013

.DISCUSSION...
SCT CONVECTION ALONG THE LEAD SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER CNTRL AR AND N
LA HAS JUST BEGUN TO SHIFT E OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS
AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH THIS CONVECTION HAS LEFT BEHIND A WELL-
DEFINED OUTFLOW BNDRY NOTED ON THE VISIBLE SATELLITE LOOP FROM
MCCURTAIN COUNTY OK INTO PORTIONS OF EXTREME NE TX /W OF TXK/...TO
NEAR ASL...JUST S OF SHV...INTO THE SRN SECTIONS OF NCNTRL LA AS
OF 2030Z. STRONG HEATING HAS RESULTED IN MODERATE LOW LEVEL
INSTABILITY TO DEVELOP...WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN ISOLATED TO WIDELY
SCT CONVECTION DEVELOPING THROUGH THIS EVENING FARTHER SW ACROSS
E TX AND CNTRL LA THIS EVENING BEFORE DIMINISHING WITH THE LOSS OF
HEATING. HOWEVER...ANOTHER SUBTLE SHORTWAVE TROUGH WAS INDICATED
ON THE WATER VAPOR LOOP THIS AFTERNOON OVER NW OK...WITH MORE
CONVECTION EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AND ORGANIZE INTO AN MCS THIS
EVENING OVER WRN KS...AS YET ANOTHER UPPER IMPULSE DROPS SE FROM
THE NRN MX/SRN ROCKIES UPPER RIDGE. A 30-40KT SSW LLJ SHOULD
SUSTAIN THIS MCS AS IT PROGRESSES SE ACROSS OK OVERNIGHT...BEFORE
IT WEAKENS AROUND/SHORTLY AFTER DAYBREAK WITH THE LOSS OF THE LLJ.

THE REMNANTS OF THIS SYSTEM SHOULD MOVE ACROSS ERN OK/MUCH OF AR
MONDAY...REINFORCING A CONVECTIVE BNDRY SWD INTO THE NRN SECTIONS
OF THE FORECAST AREA. DEEP LAYER SHEAR SHOULD INCREASE DURING THE
DAY /TO 20-30KTS/ WITH THE APPROACH OF THIS NEXT SHORTWAVE...AND
SHOULD BE MORE THAN ADEQUATE FOR SCT/NUMEROUS CONVECTION ALONG AND
N OF THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR OF NE TX/SW AR THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
THUS...HAVE BUMPED POPS UP TO HIGH CHANCE/LIKELIES FOR THESE
AREAS...TAPERING TO LOW CHANCE ALONG THE I-20 CORRIDOR OF N LA.
ANY CONVECTIVE BNDRYS LEFT BEHIND FROM THIS SHORTWAVE PASSAGE
MONDAY MAY BE REINFORCED SLOWLY SWD MONDAY NIGHT AND
TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY AS ADDITIONAL UPPER LEVEL IMPULSES SLIDE SE
AND AID IN THE REDEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTION NEAR THE BNDRY. HAVE
ALSO BUMPED POPS UP TO HIGH CHANCE FOR THOSE SAME AREAS ALONG/N OF
THE HWY 82 CORRIDOR MONDAY NIGHT...AND EXPANDED HIGHER CHANCE POPS
FARTHER S TUESDAY AS THE SFC BNDRY MAY BE REINFORCED SSW ACROSS NE
TX/NCNTRL LA. THIS DIRTY NW FLOW ALOFT LOOKS TO PERSIST THROUGH
WEDNESDAY ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION...RESULTING IN PERIODS OF AT
LEAST SCT CONVECTION AND NEEDED RAINFALL. OVERALL...WEAK VERTICAL
SHEAR SHOULD LIMIT THE ORGANIZED SVR THREAT THROUGH MIDWEEK...BUT
POCKETS OF STRONG HEATING/RESULTANT INSTABILITY MAY RESULT IN
ISOLATED SVR CONVECTION AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL OVER ANY GIVEN
AREA.

THE SHORT TERM PROGS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE NRN MX/SRN
ROCKIES UPPER RIDGE EXPANDING E AND AMPLIFYING N ACROSS THE CNTRL
AND SRN PLAINS THURSDAY...AND ACROSS THE MS VALLEY FRIDAY. THIS
WILL ELIMINATE RAIN CHANCES AND RESULT IN HOTTER TEMPS AS WE MOVE
INTO NEXT WEEKEND. HAVE MAINTAINED A DRY FORECAST AND BUMPED TEMPS UP
TO MID 90S...WITH UPPER 90S NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION ESPECIALLY
OVER PORTIONS OF E TX. WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR UPPER LEVEL
PERTURBATIONS THAT MAY ROUND THE SE PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE LATE IN
THE WEEKEND ALONG A WEAKNESS THAT MAY RESULT IN ISOLATED
CONVECTION DEVELOPING AND SPREADING SW ACROSS NCNTRL LA. THE
ECMWF/GFS ARE IN BROAD AGREEMENT IN EXPANDING THIS WEAKNESS JUST
INLAND ALONG THE GULF STATES BY MONDAY...WHICH WOULD RESULT IN AT
LEAST ISOLATED CONVECTION AND A SLIGHT COOLING TO AFTERNOON TEMPS.
AT ANY RATE...IT DOES APPEAR NOW THAT THE BRUNT OF THE VERY HOT
TEMPS WILL BE LIMITED TO THE LATE WEEK/WEEKEND TIMEFRAME BEFORE
THE INFLUENCE OF THE RIDGE IS WEAKENED.

PRELIMS TO FOLLOW BELOW...
