AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA
500 AM CST WED MAR 9 2016
.AVIATION...
MORE OF THE SAME EXPECTED ACROSS OUR TERMINAL LOCATIONS THIS
MORNING. ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO BE WIDESPREAD ACRSOS THE ENTIRE
FOUR STATE REGION WITH LITTLE TO ANY END IN SIGHT. FOR THE MOST
PART...PREVAILED TSRA WITH 3-5SM VISIBILITY. CONTINUES THESE
TRENDS THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH PERHAPS A LITLE IMPROVEMENT TO MFR
LATER TODAY.
RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY HANG AROUND OVENRIGHT ANS WELL.

&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 337 AM CST WED MAR 9 2016/
DISCUSSION...
MAJOR FLOODING FROM 5 TO NEAR 10 INCH RAINFALLS ACROSS MUCH OF THE
AREA...WITH HEAVY RAINFALL EVENT FAR FROM OVER. NAM PWS ARE
INDICATING SEASONAL RECORD VALUES THIS AFTN AND EVE RIGHT AT 2
INCHES...SUGGESTING THAT ADDITIONAL RAINFALL COULD POSSIBLY MATCH
OR EXCEED PREVIOUS RAINFALL TOTALS...WHICH IS A SCARY THOUGHT.
NEEDLESS TO SAY...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH 4 PM
THURSDAY AFTN. HOWEVER...WITH CUTOFF UPPER LOW SLOWLY DRIFTING
OVER NORTHERN MEXICO AND WILL BECOME STNRY OVER SOUTH TX LATER
THIS WEEK...THINKING VERY LIKELY THAT FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE
EXPANDED IN TIME FOR AT LEAST LA/AR PORTIONS OF THE REGION.
REGIONS OF INTENSE UPPER DIFFLUENCE WILL OCCUR ON THE NORTHEAST
SIDE OF THIS UPPER LOW. LOW LVL WIND SHEAR PICKS UP WITH LOW LVL
JET INCREASING SO SVR THREAT APPEARS EVERY BIT AS LIKELY AS
YESTERDAY...WITH SVRL SVR WARNINGS ISSUED IN ADDITION TO FLOODING.
SVR WX THREAT MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-20. DEVELOPING SFC LOW
SE OF DFW METRO WILL ALSO REMAIN ANCHORED IN PLACE DUE TO
INFLUENCE OF UPPER LOW...CREATING A SHARP BOUNDARY JUST SOUTH OF
I-30 OVER NE TX. HOWEVER...THIS BOUNDARY WILL DO LITTLE TO INHIBIT
HEAVY RAIN DEVELOPMENT TO THE NORTH...ALTHOUGH SHOULD INHIBIT SVR
STORMS. SVR THREAT WILL DIMINISH WITH A DECREASE IN LOW LVL
SHEAR...ALTHOUGH SOME QUESTION ON WHETHER COOLING IN MID
LVLS...DESPITE DEEP SOUTH FLOW AROUND UPPER LOW...MAY ENHANCE
STORM BOUYANCY THURSDAY AFTN AND NIGHT. AT LEAST THE VERTICAL
MOISTURE PROFILE BECOMES MORE COMPLEX AFTER 12Z THURSDAY...MEANING
THAT POPS SHOULD FALL BELOW CATEGORICAL...AS DRY LVLS SET UP
SANDWICHED BETWEEN MOIST LAYERS. HOWEVER...DEEP SOUTHERLY FLOW
WILL CONTINUE THRU FRIDAY NIGHT...AND AS UPPER LOW FINALLY OPENS
UP SATURDAY...TRANSITION TO DEEP WESTERLY FLOW WILL CLEAR OUT
PESKY LOW. THAT SAID...ONE MORE SMALL AND FAST MOVG UPPER LOW
APPEARS TO SPIN UP IN ZONAL FLOW AND SWEEP OHVD LATE SAT INTO
SUNDAY. NOT SURE WHETHER ANY MOISTURE WILL BE LEFTOVER BY
THEN...BUT IF SO...DYNAMICS WILL SQUEEZE OUT ANOTHER QUICK ROUND
OF POSSIBLE ELEVATED CONVECTION BEFORE WE ARE BLESSED WITH AT
LEAST A COUPLE OF DAYS OF FAIR WX IN EARLY PART OF NEXT
WEEK./VII/.
