Area Forecast Discussion

.DISCUSSION...
For the 21/12Z TAF issuance.
&&
.AVIATION...
Conditions will be dictated by Tropical Storm Cindy. In the near
term, shower activity from outer rain bands will be scattered,
with MVFR ceilings and breezy winds from the northeast. As Cindy
nears the coast tonight, rain bands are expected to become more
numerous with predominate showers and a few thunderstorms. MVFR
with gusty northeast to east winds can be expected after 22/00Z
through the end of the forecast period.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 501 AM CDT Wed Jun 21 2017/
DISCUSSION...
Tropical Storm Cindy continues to approach the region this
morning. Wind gusts have already been reaching tropical storm
force along the immediate coast and coastal waters this morning.
Overall, no major changes have been made to the track of Cindy
with the storm expected to come ashore late tonight into early
tomorrow morning. Therefore, no changes to any of the watches or
warnings have been made with this forecast package. The main
impact for the area remains the potential for flooding from
excessive rainfall as rain bands move onshore throughout the day
today. In addition to the heavy rainfall and possible localized
flooding, a few isolated tornadoes could occur within these
rainbands as they move on shore. For more detailed information
about the impacts from Cindy, consult the Tropical Storm Warning
and Hurricane Local Statements throughout the day.
The remains of TS Cindy is expected to move into central Arkansas
during the day on Friday as the moisture plume follows behind the
storm. The upper level low will become elongated with the axis of
the trof hanging back across southeast Texas. Therefore looking at
rains to continue through the day on Friday with temps moderating a
bit from clouds and rains. Part of the upper level energy from the
trof will drift back to the south and into center coastal Texas
allowing the elongated weakness to continue. This will mean shower
and thunderstorm activity is expected over the weekend with an
additional two to three inches on top of the rainfall expected with
Cindy. The region looks to dry out slowly through next week.
MARINE...
Tropical Storm Cindy's strength has remained unchanged overnight
as it continues to move to the northwest. Tropical storm force
winds will continue over the coastal waters through Thursday
afternoon. Likewise, seas will remain elevated and rough. Even
after Cindy moves onshore, winds and seas will remain elevated
into Friday. Marine interests should continue to closely monitor
this system.
