.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 429 AM CST FRI JAN 23 2015/

DISCUSSION...
UPPER TROUGH AXIS CURRENTLY EXTENDS FROM NORTHERN MISSOURI WEST
SOUTHWESTWARD INTO NORTHERN TEXAS. BASE OF SHORTWAVE CLEARLY
VISIBLE ON WV IMAGERY OVER WEST TEXAS/NORTHERN MEXICO. BASED ON
LATEST SURFACE OBS...ELONGATED SURFACE EXTENDS FROM SOUTH OF
FLORIDA PANHANDLE WEST SOUTHWESTWARD TO SOUTH OF THE ATCHAFALAYA
RIVER. WARM FRONT IS LOCATED JUST OFFSHORE WITH A COLD FRONT
EXTENDING FROM THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE SURFACE LOW SOUTHWESTWARD
INTO CENTRAL MEXICO. LARGE AREA OF PRECIP LOCATED GENERALLY
NORTHEAST OF THE SURFACE LOW WITH ADDITIONAL SHOWERS OVER SOUTHERN
TEXAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER TROUGH.

HEAVIEST RAIN HAS MOVED OUT OFT HE AREA...WITH GENERALLY ONLY
LIGHT TO OCCASIONALLY MODERATE RAIN OCCURRING ACROSS THE MS COAST
AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA. DESPITE THE SURFACE LOW MOVING
AWAY...MOISTURE WRAPPING AROUND THE BACK SIDE OF THE LOW WILL KEEP
POPS ELEVATED AT LEAST THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF TODAY AS THE
UPPER TROUGH AXIS APPROACHES THE LOCAL AREA. POPS WILL BE HIGHEST
DURING THE MORNING HOURS...GRADUALLY TAPERING OFF LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT AS THE UPPER TROUGH HELPS PUSH DRIER HIGH
PRESSURE INTO THE AREA. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL SHOULD REMAIN FAIRLY
LIGHT WITH AREA AVERAGE ACCUMULATIONS OF LESS THAN ONE QUARTER
INCH.

THICK CLOUD COVER AND COLD AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE LOW WILL KEEP
DAYTIME HIGHS WELL BELOW NORMAL ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. FORECAST
HIGHS ARE GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 40S TO LOWER 50S ACROSS SOUTHEAST
LOUISIANA AND SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI. COLD AIR ADVECTION CONTINUES
INTO TONIGHT WITH TEMPS REMAINING BELOW NORMAL. LOWS GENERALLY
FORECAST IN THE MID 30S NORTH AND UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S SOUTH.
FOR SATURDAY...CLOUDS WILL FINALLY CLEAR AND UNDER FULL
SUNSHINE...TEMPS SHOULD RECOVER INTO THE MID 50S. COLDEST NIGHT
WILL BE SATURDAY NIGHT WHEN CLEAR SKIES...LIGHT WINDS AND LOW
DEWPOINTS WILL ALLOW FOR EFFICIENT RADIATIVE COOLING. MODEL
GUIDANCE HAS COME IN A FEW DEGREES WARMER WITH THIS RUN...BUT AM
CARRYING TEMPS SLIGHTLY BELOW GUIDANCE KNOWING THAT THE OVERNIGHT
LOWS HAVE BEEN OUTPERFORMING GUIDANCE BEHIND THE LAST FEW SYSTEMS.
NO FREEZING TEMPS CURRENTLY IN THE FORECAST...BUT A FEW ISOLATED
PLACES ALONG/NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 10/12 CORRIDOR COULD GET
CLOSE OR BRIEFLY TOUCH THE 32 DEGREE MARK.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE REINFORCED FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEK AS
ANOTHER UPPER SHORT WAVE PASSES THROUGH THE LOCAL AREA SUNDAY
EVENING AND SUNDAY NIGHT. WON/T BE ANYTHING IN THE WAY OF MOISTURE
FOR THIS SHORT WAVE TO WORK WITH...SO AM NOT CARRYING ANY MENTION
OF PRECIP AS IT PASSES THROUGH. LOCAL AREA REMAINS UNDER INFLUENCE
OF NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT THROUGH AT LEAST WEDNESDAY WITH TEMPS NEAR
OR BELOW NORMAL FOR THE PERIOD. LATE IN THE WORK WEEK...THE
PATTERN BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN AND THIS IS WHERE MODELS BEGIN TO
DIVERGE FROM EACH OTHER.

EURO BRINGS SHORT WAVE AND COLD FRONT THROUGH THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY LATE FRIDAY WHILE GFS IS LESS AGGRESSIVE. BY
CONTRAST...IT FLATTENS OUT THE SHORT WAVE WITH THE COLD FRONT
NEVER MAKING IT THROUGH THE LOCAL AREA. REGARDLESS OF WHICH
SOLUTION IS CLOSER TO THE TRUTH...BOTH AGREE THAT NEXT RAIN
CHANCE WON/T COME UNTIL AT LEAST NEXT FRIDAY OR SATURDAY.

AVIATION...
WIDESPREAD IFR/LIFR DUE TO CIGS AND IN SOME CASES RAIN AND LIGHT FOG
WILL CONTINUE TODAY WITH RAIN BECOMING LESS WIDESPREAD AND MORE
SCATTERED LIGHT TO MODERATE SHOWERS BY LATE MORNING OR EARLY
AFTERNOON. CONFIDENCE IN TIMING OF IMPROVEMENT IS LOW...BUT IT IS
ANTICIPATED THE IMPROVEMENT TO MVFR WILL TAKE UNTIL AT LEAST THE
24/00-06Z PERIOD THIS EVENING...BUT IT COULD BE MORE LIKE 06-12Z
LATE TONIGHT/EARLY SATURDAY. DRY AIR WILL DEFINITELY MIX OUT THE LOW
CLOUDS ALLOWING FOR A RETURN OF VFR CONDITIONS BY MID TO LATE
MORNING ON SATURDAY. WINDS HAVE EASED FOR THE TIME BEING BUT ARE
EXPECTED TO RISE BACK TO 10 TO 18 KNOTS /HIGHER AT KNEW/ WITH SOME
GUSTS OVER 20 KNOTS LATE TODAY AND THIS EVENING AS NORTHWEST WINDS
BRING IN COLDER AIR THIS EVENING.

MARINE...
ELONGATED AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO
COASTAL WATERS WILL MOVE EAST AND NORTHEAST TODAY ALLOWING FOR A
TEMPORARY REPRIEVE OF SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY /SCA/ CONDITIONS THIS
MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. THE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS THAT
PRODUCED THE NUMEROUS WIND GUSTS OVER 34 KNOTS EARLIER HAVE PUSHED
OFF TO THE EAST OF THE LOCAL MARINE AREA. HIGH PRESSURE WITH COLD
AIR ADVECTION WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST LATER TODAY AND ESPECIALLY
TONIGHT...AND WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN BACK TO SCA CRITERIA FROM
WEST TO EAST THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. HAVE ADJUSTED THE ENDING
TIME SLIGHTLY OF THE SCA THIS MORNING FOR SOME OF THE ZONES...THEN
HAVE ISSUED ANOTHER SCA FOR THE NEXT ROUND WITH THE STRONGER
NORTHWEST WINDS LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT...AND THAT SCA WILL REMAIN
IN EFFECT THROUGH EARLY MORNING FOR THE TIDAL LAKES AND ELSEWHERE
UNTIL 10 AM SATURDAY.

WINDS SHOULD EASE BACK TO 10 TO 15 KNOTS BY LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING...THEN ANOTHER SURGE OF COOLER AIR WILL
LIKELY BRING WINDS BACK UP TO NEAR 20 KNOTS LATE SUNDAY AND SUNDAY
NIGHT. WINDS SHOULD EASE BACK TO 10 TO 15 KNOTS FOR MOST OF THE
PERIOD MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY.
