.DISCUSSION...

OTHER THAN EXTENDING SOME COUNTIES IN NE TX AND SW AR IN TORNADO
WATCH 97 NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES WERE MADE. THIS EVENING A LARGE
UPPER CLOSED LOW CENTERED OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL ROTATE AS
IT WOBBLES NORTHEAST AND THEN SOUTHEAST INTO THE CENTRAL SECTIONS
OF THE COUNTRY WITH SEVERAL SPOKES OF ENERGY MOVING AROUND THE
PERIPHERY HELPING TO CONTINUE A THREAT FOR WEATHER. LATER DURING
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CHANCE FOR RE-
DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE FOUR STATE
REGION NEAR AND WITH A DRY LINE OUT TO THE WEST FOLLOWED CLOSELY
BY A COLD FRONT. THE COLD FRONT WILL OVERTAKE THE DRY LINE AND BY
AROUND 6 TO 7 AM POSSIBLY NEARING A TEXARKANA ARKANSAS TO
JACKSONVILLE TEXAS LINE...MOVING TO NEAR AN EL DORADO ARKANSAS TO
SHREVEPORT LOUISIANA AND LUFKIN TEXAS NEAR MID DAY. /06/

AVIATION...

VFR FLIGHT CATEGORIES PERSIST ACROSS ALL ARKLATEX TERMINALS THIS
EVENING...AS THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN HELD IN CHECK BY A CAP
AND SLOW MOVING DRY LINE TO THE WEST. CURRENTLY WE HAVE ONE
ISOLATED STORM IN WOOD COUNTY...BUT THIS STORM REMAINS FOR AWAY
FROM ANY ARKLATEX TERMINALS. THIS STORM MAY MOVE INTO THE
TEXARKANA AREA LATER IF IT CONTINUES TO LIVE...OTHERWISE NO THREAT
FOR CONVECTION IS BEING HIGHLIGHTED IN AREA TAFS AT THIS TIME.
MVFR CIGS ENTER TAFS IN LA AND AR AFTER 06Z...AS BOUNDARY LAYER
MOISTURE WILL BE ABUNDANT THERE OVERNIGHT. /11/

DISCUSSION...
PDS TOR WATCH #100 JUST COORDINATED WITH SPC AND ISSUED FOR
MCCURTAIN COUNTY OK AS WELL AS OUR NRN TIER OF AR COUNTIES GOOD
UNTIL 04Z...REPLACING TOR WATCH #97 PREVIOUSLY IN EFFECT.
OTHERWISE...THE REMAINDER OF TOR WATCH 97 REMAINS IN EFFECT
FARTHER S TOWARDS THE I-20 CORRIDOR OF E TX/N LA THROUGH 02Z. THE
CAP IS BEGINNING TO BREAK ALONG THE DRY LINE WHICH EXTENDS JUST E
OF A GYI...TO NEAR TKI...TO DAL...TO CPT AND GOP AS OF 20Z...WHERE
SCT SUPERCELLS HAVE DEVELOPED JUST AHEAD OF IT NEAR THE RED RIVER
W OF HUGO...AND ON THE E SIDE OF THE DFW METROPLEX. EXTREME
INSTABILITY HAS DEVELOPED JUST E OF THE DRY LINE ACROSS E
TX...WHERE MLCAPES HAVE RISEN TO 4000+ J/KG...WITH CAPES NOT MUCH
LOWER FARTHER E ACROSS SE OK/SW AR/N LA. THE BEST BACKING OF THE
LOW LEVEL WINDS REMAIN OVER NE LA/SCNTRL AND CNTRL AR AWAY FROM
THE BEST FORCING...BUT THIS WILL CHANGE BY THIS EVENING AS THE
95+KT UPPER JET STREAK OVER N TX ROUNDS THE TROUGH INTO SE OK/SW
AR AND ENHANCES LARGE SCALE DIFFLUENCE OVER THIS AREA. THE KSHV
88-D DEPICTS A BAND OF -SHRA THAT HAS DEVELOPED WELL AHEAD OF THE
DRYLINE OVER NE TX/SW AR...WHERE THE SFC ANALYSIS REVEALS A
CONFLUENT BNDRY HAS DEVELOPED AND ENHANCED LOCALIZED CONVERGENCE.
THIS WILL BE ONE AREA TO WATCH THIS EVENING ESPECIALLY AS THE CAP
FARTHER E AWAY FROM THE DRY LINE BREAKS...GIVEN THE EXTREME
INSTABILITY AND BACKING LOW LEVEL WINDS. POPS ARE A TOUGH CALL
TONIGHT...BUT WITH THE SHORT TERM PROGS SHIFTING THE HEAVIER
RAINFALL AXIS FARTHER NE AND E OF THE CWA...HAVE MAINTAINED LIKELY
POPS OVER SW AR...TAPERING HIGH CHANCE POPS FARTHER W AND S ACROSS
NE TX/N LA. WILL ALLOW THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY TO EXPIRE AT 00Z AS
SCHEDULED...ALTHOUGH WINDS MAY STAY NEAR ADVISORY CRITERIA IN SOME
PLACES BUT GRADUALLY RELAX THROUGH THE EVENING.

THE DRY LINE SHOULD PULL UP STATIONARY JUST W OF THE FORECAST AREA
TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH THE NRN EXTENT MAY EVENTUALLY NUDGE E INTO
MCCURTAIN COUNTY LATE...GIVEN THE BETTER EWD MOTION AT THE PRESENT
TIME THAN FARTHER S ACROSS TX. THIS BNDRY REMAINS PROGGED TO MIX E
INTO SCNTRL AR/NW LA/DEEP E TX BY MONDAY AFTERNOON...AND WILL
FOCUS SCT CONVECTION ONCE AGAIN MAINLY FROM LOWER TOLEDO BEND NE
INTO NCNTRL LA/SE AR. THE FLOW SHOULD REMAIN UNIDIRECTIONAL OVER
THESE AREAS THROUGH THE DAY WHICH WOULD LIMIT THE TORNADIC
THREAT...ALTHOUGH MODERATE INSTABILITY AND STRONG SHEAR WOULD HELP
ENHANCE THE SVR THREAT ONCE AGAIN. THIS CONVECTION SHOULD DIMINISH
DURING THE EVENING AS IT OUTRUNS TO DRY LINE...WITH THE SFC BNDRY
POSSIBLY BACKING N A BIT INTO NW LA/SW AR BY DAYBREAK TUESDAY
BEFORE A COOL FRONT REINFORCES IT QUICKLY E OUT OF THE AREA
TUESDAY AFTERNOON. CAN/T RULE OUT SCT ELEVATED CONVECTION TUESDAY WITH
THE NEXT SHORTWAVE ROUNDING THE CLOSED LOW CENTER...WHICH WILL
WOBBLE THROUGH MIDWEEK OVER THE MIDWEST...AND HAVE MAINTAINED
CHANCE POPS MAINLY OVER NCNTRL LA.

COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
WEEK...AS NW FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE. HAVE NOT FOCUSED ON THE
EXTENDED MUCH THIS AFTERNOON GIVEN THE ENHANCED SVR THREAT THIS
AFTERNOON/TONIGHT. THANK YOU SPC AND SURROUNDING WFO/S FOR
COORDINATION THIS AFTERNOON. /15/
