SCATTERED LOW LEVEL CLOUDS STREAMING ACROSS THE REGION THIS
EVENING WILL GIVE WAY TO A MORE ROBUST LOW LEVEL STRATUS DECK
LATER TONIGHT WHICH WILL DROP CIGS TO IFR DURING THE EARLY AM
HOURS WEDNESDAY IN ADVANCE OF A SLOW MOVING FRONTAL SYSTEM. WIND
SPEEDS SHOULD REMAIN HIGH ENOUGH OVERNIGHT TO PREVENT THE CLOUD
DECK FROM REACHING THE SURFACE ALTHOUGH SOME SLIGHT...PATCHY
REDUCTION IN SURFACE VISIBILITY WILL BE POSSIBLE AFTER MIDNIGHT.
THE FRONTAL SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED CONVECTION WILL PUSH THROUGH THE

MAINTAINING AN ONSHORE LOW-LEVEL FLOW ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A MID/UPPER-LEVEL LOW SPINNING SLOWLY

CLOSER TO HOME. AS DISCUSSED EARLIER JUST A FEW SHOWERS ARE
SHOWING UP ON RADAR OVER THE LOWER ATCHAFALAYA BASIN WHERE A
LITTLE BETTER MOISTURE IS FOUND...OTHERWISE WARM AND PARTLY
CLOUDY CONDITIONS PREVAIL PER LATEST SFC OBS.
SIMILAR TO YESTERDAY WITH THE ONGOING CONVECTION BEING OF A
DIURNAL NATURE...EXPECT IT TO DISSIPATE WITH SUNSET THIS EVENING.

PROGGED TO CONTINUE DRIFTING NWD WHILE A SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE
DROPS THROUGH IT ACROSS THE SRN PLAINS. COMBO OF INCREASING LIFT

OF 1.5 INCH PWATS) AND A STRENGTHENING LOW-LEVEL JET WILL LEAD TO

STEEP LAPSE RATES...FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE GOOD INSTABILITY
IN PLACE BUT GIVEN A FAIRLY THICK CLOUD COVER WHICH SHOULD INHIBIT

SEVERE WORDING HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THE GRIDS/ZONES FOR NOW.
RAIN CHANCES WILL IMPROVE STARTING LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AS BEST
DIVERGENCE ALOFT BEGINS APPROACHING THE FORECAST AREA. COMBO WITH
INCREASING MOISTURE ALOFT WILL ALLOW FOR MORE SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS BY WEDNESDAY. ENTIRE AREA IS
HIGHLIGHTED IN MARGINAL/SLIGHT RISK BY SPC FOR WEDNESDAY AS
FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE INSTABILITY/CAPE/LAPSE RATES ALL
IMPROVING. BULK OF THE CONVECTION SHOULD MOVE OUT OF THE AREA
