DISCUSSION...
THE STRATUS SHIELD LINGERS ACROSS THE REGION AS OF LATE
MORNING...ALTHOUGH SOME BREAKS HAVE BEEN NOTED ON THE VISIBLE
SATELLITE IMAGERY OVER PORTIONS OF CNTRL AND ERN LA/WRN MS. THIS
STRATUS SHIELD MAY PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY /WITH SOME
SCATTERING POSSIBLE OVER THE ERN ZONES/ AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
CONTINUES TO DEEPEN BENEATH THE LOW LEVEL CAPPING INVERSION NOTED
ON THE 12Z KSHV RAOB. THE CIRRUS SHIELD WILL ONLY DEEPEN WITH TIME
AS WELL...AS THE SUBTROPICAL JET SHIFTS FARTHER E ACROSS THE LOWER
MS VALLEY AHEAD OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE DESERT SW. DESPITE
THE CLOUD COVER...SHOULD STILL SEE NEAR RECORD MAX TEMPS THIS
AFTERNOON AS TEMPS APPROACH 80 DEGREES ESPECIALLY OVER N
LA/ADJACENT SECTIONS OF EXTREME ERN TX. HAVE HAD TO RAISE MAX
TEMPS THIS AFTERNOON 1-2 DEGREES GIVEN THE 16-17Z OBS...BUT THE
LACK OF SUN SHOULD TAPER THE DIURNAL SWING IN TEMPS FROM THE WARM
START TO THE MORNING.

MOSAIC RADAR IMAGERY INDICATES AN INCREASING AREAS OF CONVECTION
RAPIDLY DEVELOPING THIS MORNING OVER THE TX HILL COUNTRY...WITH
MORE SCATTERED DEVELOPMENT ONGOING ACROSS SE TX...WHICH WILL
SPREAD NNE INTO PORTIONS OF E TX THIS AFTERNOON IN ASSOCIATION WITH
A WEAK SHORTWAVE/INCREASED PVA EJECTING NE AHEAD OF THE LONGWAVE

HAVE INITIALIZED ON THIS WELL...AFFECTING E TX/EXTREME SE OK BY
MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. HAVE INCREASED POPS BACK TO LIKELY ACROSS
THE WRN SECTIONS OF E TX THIS AFTERNOON IN THE LATE MORNING
UPDATE...TAPERING TO HIGH CHANCE ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF E TX/SE
OK. SLIGHT CHANCE POPS SHOULD WORK FOR MUCH OF SW AR/N LA THIS
