.DISCUSSION...
Through tonight: Squall line with locally strong to severe wind
gusts is currently progressing eastward across the area early this
morning. Despite the time of day, the environment ahead of this line
continues to be characterized by strong instability per latest SPC
mesoanalysis. Low level wind shear remains favorable for scattered
wind damage along the line, particularly with any segments that take
on a more ENE motion. As the line becomes more progressive, flash
flooding is a decreasing threat, but some flooding is already
ongoing across portions of the Delta this morning. Both of these
threats will end with the passage of the convective line. The
current Flash Flood Watch will be pared back as ongoing flooding
subsides.

Though it is unclear how well the line will continue to hold
together as it begins to cross I-55, there is increasing confidence
the remnant cold pool will make it across the majority of the area
this morning. Though these storms will end within the next few
hours, they will have implications on the forecast for the rest of
today. Most synoptic model guidance has a poor handle on eastward
progress of the MCS, and as a result, they are overdoing
instability, warming, redevelopment through the day. Much of the
available CAM guidance, on the other hand, appears to have a better
handle on things. POPs were cut back quite a bit for today,
especially in the NW as lingering stratiform rain tapers off and a
convectively processed airmass encompasses the area through much of
the day. Temperatures and dewpoints were also adjusted downward. The
best opportunity for airmass modification to allow for redevelopment
will be across south/east MS, and that is where the highest POPs are
focused for this afternoon.

Tonight, we could see somewhat of a resurgence of more moist air
trying to return northward across the region. This could allow for
isolated showers to develop overnight as a weak shortwave approaches
the area from the west. /DL/

Tuesday through Sunday:

With the mid-level trough exiting to the east, more zonal flow
begins to settle in. However a small shortwave will develop and
bring scattered showers and storms to our region on Tuesday
afternoon. The synoptic models suggest that this shortwave will
stick around through much of the week even as ridging builds over a
large part of the central CONUS. The shortwave will provide a
weakness in the mid-level flow and a focal point for continued
daily, afternoon convection. By Friday, the upper ridge has fully
developed. With the models showing rather impressive lapse rates
this week (or at least relative to normal), a few strong storms
cannot be ruled out on just about any day this week.

The coverage of storms is expected to be greatest on Tuesday and
such will inhibit high temperatures just a bit. Temperatures will
remain near normal through this period, with daytime mixing expected
to be sufficient enough to limit major heat stress issues. /10/

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF discussion:
A complex of TSRA is moving into N LA, SE AR, and NW MS this early
morning and will build gradually SE across the remainder of the
area through the early morning hours. These storms should
eventually lose intensity overnight, but in the mean time, brief
reductions to IFR visibilities and MVFR ceilings in +TSRA are
possible, with isolated gusts to 50 kt possible as well. MVFR
stratus are possible around MEI/HBG/PIB later this morning through
shortly after sunrise. Winds will shift from southerly to
northwesterly behind the complex of storms through the morning.
Outside of the storms and early morning stratus, VFR conditions
are expected through the remainder of the TAF period. Some
redevelopment of SHRA or TSRA is possible later today, but
confidence is coverage/placement is too low at this time to
include at any TAF site. /DL/
