.DISCUSSION...
FOR 06Z TAF ISSUANCE.

&&

.AVIATION...
SATELLITE IMAGERY/SFC OBS INDICATE LOW CLOUDS WHICH HAVE PLAGUED
THE AREA ALL DAY/EVENING ARE NOW STEADILY BREAKING UP AS DRIER AIR
ACCOMPANYING APPROACHING SHORTWAVE FILTERS OVER THE REGION...AND
ALL SITES SHOULD BE VFR NEXT HOUR OR TWO IF NOT ALREADY. RE-
INFORCING COOL FRONT NOTED UPSTREAM OVER CNTL TX IS PROGGED TO
CROSS THE FORECAST AREA LATER THIS MORNING WITH ANOTHER SHOT OF
BRISK NRLY WINDS TO ACCOMPANY IT.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 627 PM CST TUE FEB 4 2014/

UPDATE...COLD FRONT ALIGNED WITH A FEW SHOWERS NOW EXITING
ACADIANA. JUST A TAD OF LIGHT RAIN AND/OR DRIZZLE FOLLOWING. HAVE
WENT AHEAD AND REMOVED ANY POPS FOR ALL BUT ACADIANA FOR EARLY
EVENING. GRIDS HAVE BEEN UPDATED AND FORECAST SENT.

MARCOTTE

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 411 PM CST TUE FEB 4 2014/

DISCUSSION...A SHARP COLD FRONT HAS PUSHED BETTER THAN HALF WAY
ACROSS THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING QUICKLY
BEHIND THE BOUNDARY. THE EXCEPTION BEING MOST OF SE TX AND WEST
CENTRAL LA WHERE THE WARM SECTOR NEVER PUSHED IN. THE FRONT WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST WITH THE 40S SPILLING BACK IN AREA WIDE
THROUGH THE EVENING AS A CANADIAN SURFACE RIDGE BUILDS IN. RAIN
WILL ALSO END THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THE FRONT
DEPARTS. WEDNESDAY THE COOL RIDGE WILL BE FIRMLY IN PLACE WITH
HIGH TEMPS AROUND 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. THE BELOW NORMAL TEMPS
CONTINUE INTO THU MORNING WITH MOST OF THE AREA SEEING A LIGHT
FREEZE.

AND THEN NOT TOO FAR INTO THE FORECAST, THINGS BECOME A BIT UNCERTAIN...

AS TEMPS REMAIN COOL THURSDAY MORNING THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF
DISTURBANCES WILL APPROACH THE REGION. THERE IS A SMALL
OPPORTUNITY FOR FROZEN PRECIP TO OCCUR BEFORE TEMPS RISE BY MID
THURSDAY MORNING, HOWEVER THE MOISTURE MAY NOT MOVE IN EARLY
ENOUGH TO CAPITALIZE ON THE COLD TEMPS. AT THIS TIME WILL KEEP ALL
MENTION OF FROZEN PRECIP OUT OF THE FORECAST AS THE DOMINATE
PRECIP TYPE IS EXPECTED TO BE RAIN AS MOISTURE MOVES IN LATER IN
THE MORNING AFTER TEMPS HAVE RISEN. IF ANY PRECIP WAS FROZEN IN THE
CWA THE AREA WITH ANY CHANCE WOULD MAINLY BE THE EAST TEXAS PINEY
WOODS TO PERHAPS CENLA.

THE DISTURBANCE WILL THEN PASS THE AREA THU AFTERNOON WITH PRECIP
CHANCES DECREASING WHILE TEMPS FALL BACK TO AROUND OR BELOW
FREEZING FRI MORNING. ANOTHER DISTURBANCE WILL PUSH INTO THE
REGION WITH RAIN CHANCES AGAIN INCREASING DURING FRI MORNING
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. A SIMILAR SIMULATION EXIST FRI WITH REGARDS
TO PRECIP TIMING AND TEMPS.

RAIN CHANCES WILL REMAIN ELEVATED INTO SATURDAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT
REINFORCING SURGE OF COOL AIR ARRIVES SUNDAY MORNING.

MARINE...A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL OCCUR ACROSS THE COASTAL
WATERS THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT AS CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN
AND LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OVER THE WEST CENTRAL GULF. AN SCA WILL
LIKELY BE NEEDED EITHER WED NIGHT OR THU MORNING.
