.AVIATION...
00Z TAF discussion:

A few outflow boundaries will continue to focus some convective
potential through the early evening with coverage/intensity
diminishing as we go beyond sunset. There appears to be some
greater potential for sub-VFR category stratus tonight in the
guidance and have reflected this in the TAFs. Any stratus would
lift to VFR by late Sunday morning. Outside of scattered
diurnally driven TSRA, and perhaps some patchy early morning fog
once again mainly in the Pine Belt region, VFR conditions should
prevail through Saturday along with light surface wind. /EC/

&&

.DISCUSSION...
This afternoon through Sunday: Convective coverage has increased
during the heating of the day across much of northeast LA,
southeast AR, and parts of southwest MS. This is mainly along a
remnant outflow boundary leftover from overnight convection.
However, we are also seeing isolated shower development over the
northern part of the area where the atmosphere has had more time
to recover from morning convection. It's humid once again, with
heat indices in a few spots up around 105F-110F at times, though
not consistently so. Expect the highest concentration of
convection through the early evening to continue to be across the
south/west portion of the area. Overnight, we may see activity
shift back to the north as a weak front dips into the Mid South
(but appears unlikely to actually make it into our area). Once
again tomorrow, we're looking for another round of scattered to
numerous showers and storms, with coverage diurnally-driven (more
focused in the afternoon hours) but overnight/morning activity not
out of the question either given proximity of the front and mid
level disturbances. Locally heavy downpours will remain possible
into tomorrow given the potential for erratic storm motions and
rather moist airmass with 2"+ PWs forecast. /DL/

Sunday night through Friday...

Remnants of what was Tropical Depression Fred are expected to
reorganize and strengthen, and move toward the northern Gulf
Coast, shifting much of the flow to more easterly by Sunday
evening over the forecast area. Pops dominate the forecast with a
continuation of diurnal showers and thunderstorms. Better chances
of course in the afternoon, with heat of day...but with proximity
of tropical system to the east...pops continue through the
overnight east of I-55. Although temperatures are seasonably warm
throughout the forecast, a warming trend kicks in around midweek
in the wake of Fred...and the weakening of the subtropical
ridge...allowing some of the Southwest heat to edge into the
region. In the ECMWF, 850mb temps start to approach 19C-21C by
Friday afternoon. Towards the latter half of the week, parts of
the Delta and west the I-55 corridor may be close to heat indices
approaching 105F/heat advisory criteria.
