been extended to a few more counties north of I-20. In the latest
18Z model run from the GFS and the 12Z ECMWF-HiRes, the boundary
for tomorrows system has shifted a bit further north and caused
the QPF maximum axis to alter as well. We went slightly higher on
the accumulative precipitation values, and are now projecting 2-4
inches with some isolated areas that might obtain higher values.

Otherwise, POPs have been cleaned up to reflect the current state
of the radar overlay. Some areas of patchy fog are expected in
the southeastern quarter of the CWA ahead of that boundary pushing
in before first light. The HRRR suggests right now that the
timing for more rain showers pushing into eastern Louisiana will
be as early as 4am. /12/

Prior discussion below:

up across central Mississippi late this afternoon as a line of
strong to severe storms has formed along a weak cold front that
will drift southeast through the remainder of the CWA this
evening. The main threat with the storms is damaging wind gusts to
60 mph but locally heavy rain will also accompany the strongest
storms. This activity should end well before midnight but the cold
front will stall just south of the CWA. A disturbance within the
southern branch of the jet stream will swing across Mexico and
southern Texas tonight then across the Gulf coast states Monday
and Monday night. The 110Kt jet streak will help develop a surface
low the will ride along the stalled frontal boundary and develop
another round of thunderstorms with heavy rainfall. The 12Z models
differed and were farther north with the heaviest rainfall axis.
Current consensus suggests 2-3 inches with locally higher amounts
may fall across our southern zones. In addition, a few storms
across our southeast may produce damaging wind gusts. A Flash
Flood Watch has been issued for our CWA generally along and south
of Interstate 20 Monday and Monday evening. The surface low is
expected to shift northeast of Mississippi after midnight and
lower rain chances however, the large upper level trough over the
central CONUS will still result in southwest winds aloft across
our CWA. A few additional showers and storms will remain possible
through the night. /22/

Tuesday through the weekend...As the upper trough lingers over
the region, another round of rain will be possible for the
southern sections of the CWA on Tuesday given an atmosphere
characterized by PW of 1.5-1.6 inches. At this point, models are
not indicating much QPF for this round of rain but this may end up
exacerbating any flooding issues that may have occurred from
previous days rains.

After this round of rain moves out, another round will move in
quickly on its heels as the actual front moves through the region.
This rain should move quickly through the CWA but the upper
trough/upper low will linger across the region on Wednesday before
moving out. This will promote at least some shower activity to
linger into the northern parts of the forecast area.

Upper ridging will take hold for the remainder of the week into the
early parts of the weekend. Another front may bring another chance
for rain heading into the latter portions of the weekend.
Temperatures will gradually warm back into the mid 80s under this
ridging with overnight lows in the 60s and some 70s possible. /28/
