IFR/LIFR cigs will continue through the remainder of the afternoon and evening, as overrunning continues to increase atop the shallow cold air dome in place near and N of a stationary front extending from Deep E TX into Cntrl LA. Vsbys will be reduced in areas of -RA/-DZ that develop near and N of the front, with patchy dense FG possible at LFK through late afternoon. Should start to see deeper convection develop after 00Z Wednesday over portions of E TX into N LA/SW AR along and just N of the front, as a weak frontal wave develops and shifts ENE across Ncntrl LA. This may result in minor improvements to cigs, before the convection begins to diminish from NW to SE after 06Z. The convection should end across the TYR/GGG/TXK terminals by 10Z, SHV/MLU by 12Z, but the post-frontal rains look to persist through early to mid- afternoon Wednesday over Deep E TX and the Srn sections of Ncntrl LA. Once the rains end late tonight/after daybreak Wednesday, should see a slow improvement to cigs, which will become MVFR across much of E TX by or shortly after 12Z, and SW AR/extreme Nrn LA prior to 18Z. Additional improvement to VFR is expected Wednesday afternoon over all but Deep E TX and the Srn sections of Ncntrl LA. ENE winds 5-9kts this afternoon will become NNW 7-12kts later this evening, with gusts to 20kts over the Wrn sections of E TX. /15/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
