1207 AM CST Sat Jan 19 2019

.AVIATION...

For the 19/06Z TAF period, MVFR/IFR cigs continue to plague all
sites late this evening as a warm front has quickly shifted north
of all TAF sites. Scattered convection remains ongoing ahead of a
strong cold front barrelling toward the region with even stronger
storms expected overnight along and ahead of the cold front. Look
for low cigs to prevail through Saturday with occasional lower
vsbys in areas of stronger convection within pockets of heaviest
rainfall. S/SE winds continue to increase ahead of the approaching
cold front, gusting up to 15-20 kts. The front will usher in even
stronger W/NW winds as speeds increase to over 15-20 kts with
higher gusts of 25-30 kts or more. Low cigs in the MVFR range will
continue to blanket the region on Saturday as wrap-around moisture
with the upper level low fills in behind the cold frontal passage.
Gradual clearing will begin to affect our western terminals after
20/00Z with the much colder and drier air filtering into the area.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1028 PM CST Fri Jan 18 2019/

UPDATE...

Warm air advection continues across the region this evening as a
warm front surges back northward ahead of a strong arctic cold
front advancing SE from the Southern Plains. Pre-frontal showers
and some embedded thunderstorms continue to develop and spread NE
across parts of lower east Texas, north Louisiana, and southwest
Arkansas. The threat of stronger storms will begin to ramp up
after midnight through early Saturday morning as the cold front
approaches with modest instability setting up across the region.
The warm and moist air in place will allow for storms in initiate
along and ahead of the cold front. A few of these storms could be
severe as a marginal risk still covers our entire region through
the overnight hours. For this update, did nudge POPs up slightly
with ongoing convection through midnight and additional showers
and storms increasing with the cold front. A Lake Wind Advisory is
also in effect over parts of east Texas already with the remainder
of the region being added early Saturday morning as S/SW winds
quickly veer W/NW with the frontal passage. Expect strong and
gusty NW winds to continue through the day on Saturday in the wake
of strong Arctic air mass settling across the region. No further
updates are needed at this time. Updated text products have been
issued.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for southern Arkansas, northern
Louisiana, eastern Texas and for southeast Oklahoma.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight...

Overall the clouds will be remaining tough this afternoon keeping
things fairly stable. However, showers will begin to crop up late
this afternoon in eastern Texas, becoming numerous this evening.
Steep temperature lapse rates associated with the approaching cold
core upper low will make large hail our primary initial threat
this evening and overnight as the front moves Southeastward.
However, damaging winds and possibly isolated tornadoes will
become possible as scattered thunderstorms organize into bows and
perhaps even a squall line in the predawn hours. This line will
quickly move across our Louisiana parishes just after daybreak.
Brief heavy rainfall will be possible with rainfall amounts
ranging from a half inch to inch for most of us with a few sites
near 2 inches along and South of I-20. The cold front will be
arriving before daybreak with rain showers changing to some snow
showers before ending North of I-30 during the morning hours.
Wintry impacts are not expected for us with the much warmer ground
temperatures, but travelers farther North should plan for such.
Also, everybody secure objects today for Windy conditions coming.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday...

Gusty high pressure gradient winds will move in with this Arctic
cold front early on Saturday. Expect northwest winds of 20 to 30
mph with higher gusts to near 40 mph, not to mention the quickly
falling temperatures immediately behind the front moving across
I-30 before sunrise. These gusty winds will spread Southeastward
from daybreak to Noon across the rest of our cwa. High temps will
occur before lunch almost everywhere and thirties will cover our
entire area before sunset with clouds clearing out. Then we can
expect freezing temperatures Saturday evening and all night long
with still very cold wind chill readings. A range of low to mid
twenties will greet the day on Sunday as the winds begin to
relax. The cold air mass moves East early in the new week with a
warmer trend and quickly wetter trend with showers and
thunderstorms on Tuesday and night ahead of our next Arctic blast
early on Wednesday. Rinse and repeat forecast with freezing
temperatures by Thursday morning.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Activation of emergency management personnel...amateur radio
operators and storm spotters may be needed this evening and
overnight ahead of this Arctic blast coming in the morning.
