AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA
505 AM CDT MON APR 7 2014

.DISCUSSION...
IN WAKE OF SOME MUCH NEEDED RAINFALL...A LIGHT NW FLOW IS ON THE
SURFACE...BUT A BIT MORE WIND WITH SOME LIGHT GUSTS INTO THE TEENS
ALONG AND AHEAD OF A SPOKE OF THE UPPER LOW. MUCH OF THE WESTERN
COUNTY WARNING AREA IS UNDER AN EXPANDING MID LEVEL DRY SLOT NOW
THAT WILL SOON MAKE FOR QUIET DAY WEATHER WISE AREA WIDE. OUR AIR
TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE 40S FOR MOST BUT STILL SOME LOW 50S AHEAD
OF THE SURFACE GUSTS THAT EXTEND FROM S AR IN THE N CENTRAL LA AND
TOLEDO BEND COUNTRY ALONG THAT SPOKE. LIGHT RAIN WITH SOME PATCHY
FOG STILL OCCURRING AT A FEW SITES OVER THE EAST TOO FOR ANOTHER
COUPLE OR FEW HOURS AT MOST.

THE WATER VAPOR SHOWS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER MO AND OK WITH MORE
ENERGY MOVING DOWN TOWARD THE TX/OK PANHANDLES NOW FROM OVER
CO/NM. THIS WILL WRAP UP WHAT IS LEFT OF THIS SYSTEM WHILE
DEEPENING THE TROUGH DOWN OVER S TX BY TONIGHT. THE COLD AIR ALOFT
WILL BRING BACK THE CHANCE OR SLIGHT CHANCE FOR ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS WHICH WILL BE ENDING DURING THE DAY TOMORROW FROM
WEST TO EAST. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL TOTALS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN
BELOW A TENTH OF AN INCH.

THE REST OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND LOOK DRY BEFORE THE NEXT
BIG UPPER STORM AND COLD FRONT EDGE THIS WAY LATE NEXT WEEKEND AND
EARLY NEXT WEEK. MAV/MEX REASONABLE ALONG THE WAY AND GENERALLY
BLENDED ALONG THE WAY IN OUR LONG RANGE. /24/
