Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lake Charles LA
348 PM CDT Mon Aug 7 2017

.DISCUSSION...A cold front has moved into North Texas and South
Arkansas today with deep moisture pooled in south of the boundary
and over the local area. An upper level trough is also over
central sections of the country with embedded vorts affecting TX
and LA. The MCSs that were spawned by the upper disturbances last
night sent and outflow boundary into the East TX Lakes region this
morning. The combination of the boundary, ample moisture, and no
cap has allowed rain and thunderstorms to continue all morning and
afternoon over East TX.

This evening rain should decrease in coverage with the lose of
heating, however as tonight progresses look for more redevelopment
as additional convection over Texas responds to another incoming
disturbance aloft. Additional nocturnal convection will also move
in from the gulf. As with the convection today and over the past
few days, rain could be heavy at times. Another rainy day can be
expected on Tuesday as storms will likely be ongoing by sunrise
over a portion of the area.

Wednesday the weakening front will gradually return north and then
a ridge is expected to build in through the end of the week. While
afternoon storms are expected, this will more of a typical summer
pattern.

&&

.MARINE...A southeast to south flow is expected through the week
and coming weekend. Tropical Storm Franklin is expected to remain
well south of the region and generally not have any direct effects
on the northern gulf coast.
