.AVIATION...
STORMS ARE LIFTING TO THE NORTHEAST TODAY AHEAD OF THE UPPER
LEVEL LOW. THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO END OVER SE TX WITH
CEILING INCREASING OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. STORMS TO BE
AN ISSUE FOR SRN LA THRU THE AFTERNOON HOURS WITH CEILINGS
LOWERING IN AND NEAR STORM ACTIVITY. FOG EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1041 AM CST SAT MAR 12 2016/

UPDATE...
SEVERAL LINES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE RUMBLING THROUGH
SOUTHEAST TEXAS THIS MORNING AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVES INTO THE
REGION. SHOWERS ARE ALSO DEVELOPING AND SPREAD ACROSS SOUTHERN
LOUISIANA. UPPER DATED ZONES. STORMS ENDING BY THIS EVENING.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 532 AM CST SAT MAR 12 2016/

DISCUSSION...
FOR THE 12/12Z TAF ISSUANCE.

AVIATION...
A HOLE IN THE CLOUD COVER EARLIER THIS NIGHT ALLOWED ENOUGH
COOLING AT KLCH...THAT WITH LIGHT WINDS...LIFR CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITIES HAVE FORMED. VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS SHOULD
GRADUALLY IMPROVE TO IFR/MVFR BY 12/14Z AS BETTER LIFT IS EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP. ELSEWHERE...MVFR TO VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL. SCATTERED
SHOWERS MOVING IN OFF THE GULF INTO SOUTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA AS
MOISTURE INCREASES AGAIN AHEAD OF AN UPPER LEVEL LOW. THIS LOW
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA TODAY. SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL
BE POSSIBLE UNTIL THE LOW MOVES THROUGH. THEREFORE...WILL HAVE
TEMPO GROUPS FOR ALL TAF SITES IN THE MORNING INTO EARLY AFTERNOON
FOR SHOWER ACTIVITY WITH MVFR CONDITIONS.

AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVES AWAY FROM THE REGION BY 13/00Z...AND
WEAKENS...SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL DISSIPATE. CONDITIONS WILL BE
MAINLY VFR. HOWEVER...DURING THE OVERNIGHT AND TOWARD THE END OF
THE FORECAST PERIOD...CLEARING SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS MAY LEAD TO
LOW CEILINGS AND PATCHY FOG AGAIN.

RUA

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 431 AM CST SAT MAR 12 2016/

DISCUSSION...
THE RADAR HAS BEEN QUIET TONIGHT WITH JUST A SPRINKLE OF
RAIN MAINLY OVER SOUTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA. TEMPERATURES ACROSS
INTERIOR TEXAS HAD FALLEN INTO THE MID 50S...ELSEWHERE LOWER
TO MID 60S PREVAILED. PATCHY FOG HAD DEVELOPED ACROSS THE AREA
WITH LOWER VISIBILITIES TEMPORARILY AFFECTED LAKE CHARLES AND
SURROUNDING AREAS.

TODAY EXPECT THE UPPER LEVEL LEVEL LOW...CURRENTLY EAST OF AUSTIN
TEXAS TO MOVE NORTHEAST INTO EAST TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON AND TO
NORTHERN LOUISIANA THIS EVENING. MOST OF THE AREA WAS DRY SLOTTED
YESTERDAY AND THEREFORE WE HAD A NICE BREAK IN THE RAINFALL.
HOWEVER...THIS MORNING WE SEE AN UPTICK IN MOISTURE RETURNING
ACROSS THE AREA AS INDICATED ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. THIS MOISTURE
WAS BEING DRAWN INTO THE UPPER LEVEL AS IT BEGINS TO MOVE NORTHWARD.

HRRR 1KM REFLECTIVITY THROUGH 20Z POINTS TO THE AIRMASS BECOMING
UNSTABLE AS DAYTIME HEATING BEGINS. SURGING MOISTURE WILL EASILY
GET TAPPED TODAY AND THEREFORE HAVE INCREASED POPS ACROSS THE
AREA WITH THE BEST CHANCE ACROSS OUR NORTH AND EAST.THE WEATHER
PREDICTION CENTER QPF FORECAST SHOWS LESS THAN 1/2 AN INCH ACROSS
THE EASTERN AREAS AND .10 TO .43 ACROSS THE NORTHERN AREAS.

AS THE UPPER LOW LIFTS COMPLETELY OUT THIS EVENING...DRY WEATHER
WILL BUILD INTO OUR AREA FOR THE THE REST OF THE WEEKEND WITH
TEMPERATURES REMAINING ABOVE AVERAGE DURING THE WEEKEND.

A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL MOVE NORTH OF THE AREA EARLY MONDAY
IN THE FAST ZONAL TYPE FLOW MONDAY AND TUESDAY. MOISTURE AND LIFT
WILL NOT BE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO GET MUCH MORE THAN ISOLATED RAIN
DURING THIS PERIOD...HOWEVER BY WEDNESDAY THE CENTER PART OF THE
USA BEGINS TO SEE STRONGER SHORTWAVE ENERGY DIG FURTHER SOUTH AND
SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO DRIVE A COOL FRONT INTO THE AREA
WEDNESDAY. PACIFIC MOISTURE WILL GET TAPPED NEXT WEEK AND WILL
LIKELY GET SOME OVERRUNNING MIDWEEK THROUGH FRIDAY EVEN WITH A
NORTHERLY FLOW AT THE SURFACE. WE FINALLY WILL SEE SOME COOLER
WEATHER RETURN WEDNESDAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY TO END THE
FORECAST 7 DAY FORECAST.

MARINE...
LIGHT TO OCCASIONAL MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THE WEEKEND INTO MID WEEK. NORTHERLY TO EASTERLY FLOW CAN BE
EXPECTED WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY OF NEXT WEEK AS A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY MOVES THROUGH THE COASTAL WATERS. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL END TODAY BUT RETURN BY THE LATTER PART OF
NEXT WEEK.
