.DISCUSSION...
FOR THE 12Z TAF PACKAGE.
&&
.AVIATION...
MOST CONVECTION HAS LIFTED NORTH OF THE COASTAL TERMINALS...WITH
KAEX LOOKING TO BE UNDER THE GUN FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HRS. TIMING
OF ACTIVITY AT THE COASTAL SITES WAS BASED ON A BLEND OF LATEST
GUIDANCE...AND REPRESENTED A BEST EFFORT TO NARROW DOWN THE TIME
PERIOD OF MOST LIKELY IMPACTS.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 540 AM CDT SAT OCT 31 2015/
DISCUSSION...
LATEST WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY/UPPER AIR ANALYSIS SHOWED AN
ELONGATED POSITIVELY TILTED TROF STRETCHING FROM THE NORTHERN
PLAINS/UPPER MIDWEST SOUTHWARD TO NEAR THE SOUTHERN BAJA. TOW
DISTINCT SHORTWAVES/VORT MAXES ARE EVIDENT...ONE NEAR THE NORTH
DAKOTA/CANADIAN BORDER...AND THE OTHER EMBEDDED WITHIN THE BASE OF
THE TROF OVER NW MEXICO. DOWNSTREAM OF THE TROF AXIS...A 40-50KT
LLJ WAS NOTED ACROSS EAST TEXAS WRN LA...WHICH IS HELPING FUNNEL
RICH GULF MSTR INTO THE REGION...WHICH IS PROGGED TO BOOST PWATS
INTO THE 2 TO 2.5 INCH RANGE...EXCEEDING CLIMO NORMALS FOR THIS
TIME OF YEAR.
AT THE SFC...WARM FRONT IS EVIDENT IN SFC OBS AND RADAR IMAGERY
CURRENTLY LIFTING NORTH THROUGH CENTRAL LA...WITH AN UPSTREAM N-S
ORIENTED CDFNT NOTED OVER CENTRAL TX.
INITIAL ROUND OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS UNDERWAY
ACROSS EAST TEXAS AND WESTERN/CENTRAL LOUISIANA...FUELED BY THE
AFOREMENTIONED LLJ AND RESULTING WAA REGIME...AND SUBTLE IMPULSES
TRANSLATING THROUGH THE SW MID/UPPER LEVEL FLOW ALOFT. MOST
VIGOROUS CONVECTION THUS FAR OCCURRING OVER SOUTHEAST TEXAS...BUT
THAT IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE WITH THE NWD DEPARTURE OF THE WMFNT
ALLOWING FOR GREATER DESTABILIZATION TO OCCUR WITHIN A STRONGLY
SHEARED ENVIRONMENT. INSTABILITY IS PROGGED TO BE AN OVERALL
LIMITING FACTOR...ALONG WITH WINDS GRADUALLY VEERING WITH TIME
WITH THE APPROACH OF THE UPPER TROF. NONETHELESS...CONCUR WITH SPC
ASSESSMENT OF SVR POTENTIAL AND PLACEMENT OF ENTIRE AREA IN SLGT
RISK...WITH TORNADO/DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER
HAZARDS. THE HIGH PWATS WILL ALSO RESULT IN CONVECTION BEING
VERY EFFICIENT AT RAIN PRODUCTION...WITH THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF
EXTREME RAINFALL RATES.
CDFNT...AND ASSOCIATED N-S BAND OF CONVECTION OVER CENTRAL TX...IS
PROGGED TO CONTINUE EASTWARD TODAY...THOUGH HOW QUICKLY REMAINS A
BIT UNCERTAIN WITH MODELS OFFERING VARIOUS SOLUTIONS AS THE BASE
OF THE UPPER TROF OUT WEST BEGINS TO CUT OFF AS IT PIVOTS THROUGH
WEST TX AND NRN MEXICO...AND A FRONTAL WAVE OR TWO DEVELOP AND
LIFT NORTH ALONG THE BOUNDARY. BOTH OF THESE WOULD TEND TO SLOW
THE EASTWARD PROGRESSION. A GENERAL CONSENSUS PUSHES THE BULK OF
THE RAINFALL OUT OF EAST TX AND WRN LA INTO CENTRAL/SOUTH
CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST LA THIS EVENING...WITH THE FORECAST BECOMING A
LITTLE MORE UNCERTAIN AFTER MIDNIGHT AS THERE IS MORE OF A SPLIT
IN THE GUIDANCE. HAVE HELD OF EXTENDING THE FFA BEYOND ITS
CURRENT END TIME OF 7 PM...AND WILL LET THE DAY CREW FURTHER
EVALUATE HOW THINGS EVOLVE TODAY.
RAINS MAY LINGER INTO SUNDAY AS WELL...ESPECIALLY OVER NORTHERN
AND EASTERN ZONES...BEFORE DRIER AIR FINALLY PUSHES IN SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY.
REST OF THE WEEK LOOKS UNEVENTFUL...WITH GOOD RAIN CHANCES
RETURNING TOWARD NEXT WEEKEND AS ANOTHER UPPER TROF APPROACHES.
13
MARINE...
MODERATE AND GUSTY SOUTH WINDS WILL CONTINUE THIS MORNING AHEAD OF
AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT...WEAKENING A BIT THIS AFTERNOON AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE AREA RELAXES. WITH THE ONSHORE FLOW...TIDAL
WATERS WILL CONTINUE TO PILE UP ALONG THE COAST...WITH WATER
LEVELS RUNNING ABOUT ONE TO TWO FEET ABOVE PREDICTED VALUES.
THESE ELEVATED WATER LEVELS WILL PERSIST THROUGH TONIGHT UNTIL
OFFSHORE FLOW DEVELOPS AS THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TODAY AND TOMORROW.
