.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 727 AM EDT FRI MAY 30 2014/

SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
/ISSUED AT 358 AM EDT FRI MAY 30 2014/
A PERSISTENCE FORECAST STILL LOOKS GOOD THROUGH TODAY AS THE H5 LOW
CONTINUES OVER THE ARK-LA-TEX AREA. THIS WILL KEEP GULF MOISTURE
STREAMING OVER THE CWA KEEPING WIDELY SCATTERED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. A
BACKDOOR FRONT WILL APPROACH THE NORTHEAST PART OF THE CWA LATE
SATURDAY AND THIS SHOULD INCREASE THE RISK OF
THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN PARTS OF
THE CWA. MAX TEMPS SHOULD BE NEAR WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN OVER THE PAST
COUPLE OF DAYS AND GUIDANCE HAS A GOOD HANDLE ON THIS. MOS OVERNIGHT
LOWS TONIGHT LOOK TOO COOL GIVEN THE GULF AIR WILL REMAIN OVER THE
CWA. HAVE THEREFORE RAISED MIN TEMPS TONIGHT BY A FEW DEGREES.

LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...
/ISSUED AT 358 AM EDT FRI MAY 30 2014/
EXTENDED FORECAST MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE LONG TERM.
UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE OVER ARKLATEX REGION DAMPENS OUT OVER THE
WEEKEND...THOUGH ENHANCED MOISTURE FIELD AROUND THE LOW PERSISTS
ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST BY LATE WEEKEND. UPPER LEVEL RIDGE BUILDS
DOWN THE EAST COAST LIMITS AFTERNOON/EVENING CONVECTION CHANCES
FOR THE FAR EASTERN CWA SUNDAY AND MONDAY...WHILE THE WESTERN
PORTIONS OF THE STATE CAN EXPECT TO SEE SCATTERED AFTERNOON
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE HYBRID CAD RESULTING FROM THE NOSE
OF HIGH PRESSURE QUICKLY MOVES OUT OF THE AREA AS THE CENTER OF
THE RIDGE SHIFTS SOUTHWARD AND ALONG EASTERN FLORIDA BY TUESDAY.
THE COMBINATION OF THE MOVEMENT OF THE HIGH AND AN APPROACHING
SHORT WAVE FROM THE NORTHWEST WILL RESULT IN BETTER STORM CHANCES
ACROSS THE STATE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.

WARM TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EXTENDED
WITH HIGHS RUNNING ABOUT 5 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. SUNDAY AND MONDAY
LOOK TO BE THE COOLEST DAYS OF THE WEEK WITH THE INFLUENCE OF THE
QUICK-LIVED WEDGE. A GRADUAL WARM-UP INTO THE LOW 90S IS EXPECTED
BY FRIDAY.
