.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 406 PM CDT SAT MAY 16 2015/

LONG TERM...A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SAG INTO THE AREA GOING
INTO TUESDAY. A GENERAL WEAK SURFACE TROUGH WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR
ENHANCED CONVECTION THROUGH JUST ABOUT THE ENTIRE WEEK WITH AT LEAST
40 PERCENT FOR DAILY POPS. UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL TRY TO REASSERT
ITSELF OVER THE REGION LATE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND WHICH WOULD
LOWER POPS AND INCREASE TEMPS. UPPER 80S TO NEAR 90 DEGREES COULD BE
COMING THEN.

MEFFER

AVIATION... SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL GENERALLY BE A POTENTIAL
IMPACT TO TERMINALS NORTH OF A KNEW TO KHUM LINE THROUGH THE NEXT
SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE STARTING TO WIND DOWN. IN ADDITION...STRONG
SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL RELAX QUITE A BIT ONCE THE SUN BEGINS TO SET.
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED ONCE THE CONVECTION WANES THIS EVENING. KGPT
AND KASD WILL BE THE LAST TO BE CONVECTION FREE AND THAT MAY NOT
HAPPEN UNTIL LATE TONIGHT.

MEFFER

MARINE...CURRENT WINDS OVER OFFSHORE WATERS ARE RIGHT AT OR JUST
ABOVE 15 KNOTS...SO REISSUING EXERCISE CAUTION THRU TONIGHT. CURRENT
SYNOPSIS SHOWS SURFACE RIDGE CENTERED JUST OFF THE CAROLINA COASTS
EXTENDS WELL INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO WHICH HAS ESTABLISHED ONSHORE
FLOW. THIS HIGH WILL SLOWLY WEAKEN AS IT SAGS SOUTH TOWARDS FLORIDA.
LOCAL WINDS WILL FOLLOW THIS WEAKENING TREND AS WELL...FALLING TO
LESS THAN 10 KNOTS ON TUESDAY. WEAK WIND FIELD WILL REMAIN IN PLACE
AS A COLD FRONT STALLS ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST MID WEEK AND A
RAGGED SURFACE HIGH TRIES TO ESTABLISH ITSELF OVER THE GULF OF
MEXICO. COULD RETURN TO MORE CONSISTENT SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS NEXT
WEEKEND.
