.SYNOPSIS...
LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS REVEALED AN EXITING 1022MB HIGH OVER THE
MID ATLANTIC STATES AND A 995MB LOW OVER EASTERN IOWA. A FRONTAL
ZONE EXTENDED SOUTH FROM THE LOW TO EASTERN OKLAHOMA TO NORTH
CENTRAL TEXAS TO TEXAS BIG BEND. TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT OF 5MB
WAS PRESENT FROM BTR TO MOB. AS A RESULT...SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH
WINDS OF 10 TO 20 KNOTS WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS UP TO 30 KNOTS WERE
OCCURRING. ISOTACH ANALYSIS SHOWED THE NOSE OF 140 KNOT SUB-
TROPICAL JET FROM TEXAS BIG BEND TO WEST LOUISIANA...FORECAST AREA
IN RIGHT FRONT QUADRANT FOR NOW. ISOTACH ANALYSIS AT 850MB SHOWED
A LLJ OF 50 TO 60 KNOTS SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA TO MID MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY...40 KNOTS OVER OUR AREA. PRECIPITABLE WATER PLOTS AT 00Z
SHOWED A SWATH OF MOISTURE WITH VALUES OF 1.6 TO 1.8 INCHES FROM
NORTHWEST GULF TO WEST LOUISIANA TO SOUTHEASTERN ARKANSAS.
FINALLY...THE LATEST UPPER AIR ANALYSIS THE MAIN TROUGH AXIS FROM
IOWA TO ARIZONA WITH DISTURBANCES OVER MISSOURI/ARKANSAS AND
OVER ARIZONA. 18

&&

.SHORT TERM...
MOISTURE AXIS AND LLJ WILL MIGRATE EAST AND YIELDING 0-3 KM
HELICITY VALUES OVER 400 TO 500 M/S OVER SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI AND
FLORIDA PARISHES OF LOUISIANA THIS MORNING BEFORE SUNRISE. CAPE
VALUES AROUND 1000 J/KG WILL INCREASE TO 1800 J/KG BY SUNRISE WITH
A SLIGHT LAG BEHIND THE CURRENT CONVECTION. COULD SEE SOME SPIN
UPS THROUGH THIS MORNING. ERGO...AGREE WITH TOR WATCH THROUGH 9
AM FOR NORTH HALF ZONES EXCLUDING MS COAST. WORKED OVER ATM MAY
YIELD A LULL IN ACTIVITY FROM MID MORNING TO AFTERNOON. MOISTURE
AXIS WILL SLIDE EAST TO THE EAST THROUGH THE DAY.
HOWEVER...SURFACE HEATING AND INSTABILITY WILL YIELD SCATTERED
SOUTH TO MORE NUMEROUS ACTIVITY FOR NORTH ZONES.

WIND PROFILE BECOMES SOUTHWEST FROM SURF TO 500MB AND SLIGHTLY
DECREASING LL SHEAR THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY. THE SURFACE
FRONT WILL FINALLY APPROACH THE NORTH ZONES LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND ENTER INTO THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT. THE FOCUS OF THE FRONT
AND SEVERAL UPPER DISTURBANCES WILL YIELD CONVECTION ACROSS THE
SOUTH HALF OF THE FORECAST TOWARD MIDNIGHT TONIGHT AND PERSISTING
THROUGH FRIDAY.

POST FRONTAL CONVECTION WILL BE IN PLAY AS SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL
PROVIDE VERY LITTLE PUSH TO THE SURFACE AND MOISTURE IN PLAY. WILL
GO CATEGORICAL LATE TONIGHT AND FRIDAY. TOTAL AVERAGE RAINFALL
AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE
POSSIBLE...AND SOME AREAS COULD SEE 2 INCHES FALL IN AN HOUR OR SO
OR 3 TO 4 INCHES IN A COUPLE HOURS WHICH WOULD CAUSE SIGNIFICANT
PONDING OF WATER OR FLASH FLOODING. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL
WILL REMAIN MARGINAL TO SLIGHT UNTIL THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH
FRIDAY. WITH THE APPROACH OF THE MAIN TROUGH THE DEEP MOISTURE
WILL FINALLY PUSH SOUTH WITH RAIN CHANCES WILL DECREASE FRIDAY
NIGHT. 18

MODELS LOOKS DRY AT THIS POINT. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO
TREND MOSTLY BELOW THE SEASONAL NORMALS OVER THE WEEKEND...THEN
NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL EARLY TO MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. 18

&&

.AVIATION...

PREVAILING IFR AND MVFR CEILINGS RANGING FROM 1000 TO 2000 FEET WILL
BE THE BIGGEST IMPACT AVIATION WISE TODAY.  THERE WILL ALSO BE SOME
SCATTERED CONVECTION AROUND...WITH THE HIGHEST PROBABILITIES FOR
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY AROUND KBTR...KHDC...AND KMCB THROUGH THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS.  THE LATEST HRRR GUIDANCE..INDICATES THAT CONVECTION
SHOULD BECOME MORE ISOLATED AND LESS OF THREAT INTO THE AFTERNOON
HOURS. HEADING INTO TONIGHT...CEILINGS LOOK TO LOWER DOWN TO AROUND
300 TO 500 FEET BY 06Z...AS OVERALL BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW WEAKENS AND
THE ELEVATED INVERSION DIPS CLOSER TO THE SURFACE.  THERE MAY BE
SOME FOG THAT TRIES TO FORM AFTER 06Z AS WELL...BUT VISIBILITIES
WILL GENERALLY REMAIN ABOVE ONE MILE.  THE LOW LIFR CEILINGS ARE
EXPECTED TO BE THE MAIN IMPACT FOR TONIGHT. 32

&&

.MARINE...

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES REMAIN IN EFFECT THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING
FOR THE OPEN GULF WATERS AND THE CHANDELEUR AND BRETON SOUNDS DUE TO
CONTINUED STRONG ONSHORE WINDS OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS AND ROUGH SEAS OF

THE WAKE OF THE FRONT FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...OFFSHORE WINDS
WILL INCREASE BACK INTO THE 20 TO 25 KNOT RANGE AND ANOTHER ROUND OF
