Area forecast discussion, Mar 13, 5:27 PM CDT, 3 hours 40 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA
527 PM CDT SUN MAR 13 2016

.AVIATION...
ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE
THROUGH AROUND 03Z AT THE TXK/ELD/MLU TERMINALS. OTHERWISE...VFR
CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. GUSTY SOUTHWEST
WINDS WILL DECOUPLE AFTER 00Z THIS EVENING...REMAINING NEAR 4-8KTS
OR SO OVERNIGHT BEFORE INCREASING AGAIN AROUND 14/1500Z. PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH MON AFTN FOR A FEW GUSTS UPWARDS OF
20KTS ACROSS OUR NE TX TERMINAL LOCATIONS AS WELL.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 442 PM CDT SUN MAR 13 2016/

DISCUSSION...
TORNADO WATCH 42 ISSUED FOR PARTS OF THE FOUR-STATE REGION THROUGH
8PM CDT AS VERY WARM AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS HAVE DEVELOPED THIS
AFTERNOON ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION...AFTER A CAPPING INVERSION
HELD ON FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. COOLER AIR ALOFT FROM AN UPPER TROF
ADVANCING THROUGH THE RED RIVER VALLEY INTO THE ARKLATEX WILL HELP
TO EVEN FURTHER DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE WITH STEEP MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES WHILE DEEP LAYER SHEAR ALSO INCREASES...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS SRN AR AND EXTREME NRN LA...GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF
THE I-20 CORRIDOR. A FEW STORMS HAVE ALREADY GONE SEVERE ACROSS
PARTS OF SW AR WITH HAIL REPORTED AS WELL AS ROTATION WITH THESE
SAME STORMS. EXPECT THE PRIMARY THREATS OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS...WITH ISOLATED
TORNADOES ALSO IN PLAY IF DISCRETE STORMS BECOME SUPERCELLULAR.
THE ENHANCED THREAT AREA COVERS NEARLY ALL OF SRN AR WITH A
SLIGHT RISK EXTENDING A BIT FARTHER SOUTH ACROSS PARTS OF NRN
LA...WHERE THE DYNAMICS ARE A BIT LESS FAVORABLE BUT STILL
SUPPORTIVE OF SEVERE CONVECTION. THE THREAT WILL QUICKLY DIMINISH
FROM WEST TO EAST AS THIS UPPER TROF SHIFTS TO THE NE...WITH
SOUTHERLY WINDS GRADUALLY DROPPING OFF IN THE PROCESS. SO...PLAN
TO LET OUR LAKE WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF THE REGION
CARRY THROUGH THE 7PM EXPIRATION.

A MUCH WELCOME CHANGE WILL START OFF THE NEW WORK WEEK AS A MORE
ZONAL PATTERN SETS UP WITH WELL ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES THROUGH
TUESDAY...SOARING INTO THE 80S FOR HIGHS FOR NEARLY ALL OF THE
REGION. BY WEDNESDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE SWD FROM THE PLAINS
AND BRING OUR NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN AS IT SLOWLY SAGS SOUTH TO ALONG
THE I-20 CORRIDOR BEFORE POSSIBLY STALLING BRIEFLY. THIS WILL KEEP
AT LEAST SLIGHT RAIN CHANCES GOING THROUGH MUCH OF THE EXTENDED
PERIOD WITH ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL TROF SET TO ARRIVE IN TIME FOR
THE WEEKEND. FORTUNATELY...THE PROJECTED RAINFALL AMOUNTS DO NOT
LOOK OVERLY IMPRESSIVE DURING THIS MID TO LATE WEEK TIMEFRAME...
WHICH IS CERTAINLY WELCOME NEWS GIVEN THE CURRENT STATE OF ONGOING
FLOODING ACROSS PARTS OF OUR REGION.
