ANOTHER BUSY NIGHT. CLUSTERS OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE WARM AIR ADVECTION REGIME. LARGE
HAIL...FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING...AND TORRENTIAL
RAINFALL WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERNS...ALTHOUGH A BRIEF SPIN UP CAN
NOT BE RULED OUT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT...WITH NOCTURNAL
LOW LEVEL JET HELPING TO ENHANCE LOW LAYER SHEAR. SO FAR WE HAVE
RECEIVED ONE REPORT OF GOLF BALL SIZE HAIL ABOUT AN HOUR AGO IN
SCOTT LOUISIANA.
CONDITIONS WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR HIGH RAIN CHANCES OVER THE NEXT
48 HOURS...BEFORE GRADUALLY ENDING MONDAY NIGHT AS A COLD FRONT
MOVES THROUGH BRINGING IN DRIER AIR.
UNTIL THEN...ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE. PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES WILL VARY BETWEEN 1.5 AND 2 INCHES...WHICH IS 150
PERCENT TO TWICE THE STANDARD DEVIATION FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
ALSO...ACTIVITY WILL BE ENHANCED BY DIFLUENT FLOW ALOFT...AS
FORECAST AREA WILL BE BETWEEN NORTHERN JET STREAM MOVING FROM THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND SUB TROPICAL
JET STREAM SEEN FROM EAST PACIFIC ACROSS NORTHERN OLD MEXICO AND
THE NORTHWEST GULF COAST. STORM MOTION IS EXPECTED TO BE
RELATIVELY SLOW AND ANY ORGANIZATION OF STORMS WILL BRING ABOUT A
HIGH AMOUNT OF RAINFALL RATES IN THE SAME AREA FOR A LENGTHY
TIME. THEREFORE...WILL CONTINUE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH
MONDAY. STILL LOOKING AT ADDITIONAL STORM TOTALS OF 2 TO 5 INCHES
WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS.
HIGH INSTABILITY...FAVORABLE LAPSE RATES AND MODEST SHEAR WILL
BRING ABOUT A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE STORMS...WITH THE MAIN
CONCERN LARGE HAIL THIS MORNING...THEN MORE OF AN ISOLATED WIND
DAMAGE FROM WET MICROBURSTS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY INTO
AFTERNOON. ALSO...THESE STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF FREQUENT CLOUD
TO GROUND LIGHTNING.
INITIAL WAVE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH MID
MORNING...THEN REDEVELOPMENT FOR EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...BEFORE
ATMOSPHERE TURNS OVER AND ACTIVITY WEAKENS LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
ANOTHER BREAK IN ACTIVITY FOR THE EVENING HOURS...BEFORE ACTIVITY
RE-DEVELOPS AGAIN LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING.
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH LATE MONDAY...GRADUALLY ENDING SHOWER
ACTIVITY.
BY MIDWEEK...LARGE TROUGH DEVELOPS OVER THE EASTERN U.S. WITH
ANOTHER TROUGH OVER THE WEST COAST. IN BETWEEN...AN UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE WILL FORM. THIS WILL PLACE THE FORECAST AREA UNDER DRY
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THIS PATTERN WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE END OF
THE WEEK...ENDING RAIN CHANCES FOR AWHILE. COOLER AND LESS HUMID
AIR SHOULD ALSO MOVE OVER THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK...WITH A GRADUAL RISE IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND HUMIDITY NEXT
WEEKEND.
RUA
MARINE...
LIGHT TO MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS UNTIL A COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE COASTAL WATERS MONDAY
NIGHT. DUE TO THE LENGTH AND FETCH OF THE ONSHORE FLOW...ELEVATED
TIDE LEVELS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...WITH TIDES
RUNNING 1.5 TO 2 FEET MLLW ABOVE THE PREDICTED LEVELS.
THEREFORE...COASTAL FLOOD ADVISORY WILL CONTINUE.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONT
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. SOME OF THE STORMS WILL PRODUCE HEAVY
RAINFALL THAT WILL GREATLY REDUCE VISIBILITY...GUSTY WINDS...AND
FREQUENT CLOUD TO WATER LIGHTNING.
OFFSHORE FLOW WILL DEVELOP BEHIND THE FRONT AND CONTINUE THROUGH
