Area Forecast Discussion

.UPDATE...

Slightly adjusted overnight lows, and adjusted the diurnal trend
to account for the latest observations and high-res guidance.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 701 PM CDT Mon May 3 2021/

AVIATION...

While the entire region is under VFR conditions, things will begin
to quickly deteriorate with coming weather. Expect MVFR ceilings
to begin creeping east, with VFR ceilings area-wide by 04/06z.
Behind that, shower and thunderstorm activity will begin expanding
as well. VCTS will begin at KTYR by 04/03z, and reach KMLU by
04/09z. Ceilings may drop into IFR category as the thickest clouds
move overhead. Visibility will also likely drop with the heaviest
rain activity. Expect gradual clearing behind these thunderstorms,
with VFR conditions likely into the next TAF package.

/44/

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 207 PM CDT Mon May 3 2021/

SHORT TERM.../Tonight through Tuesday Night/

Convection to develop along a dryline across central Texas this
evening and progress east into northeast Texas and southeast
Oklahoma by midnight. Falling heights due to an approaching
upper-trough aloft will generate steep mid-level lapse rates
conducive for strong supercells. Additionally, instability
generated from an environment rich in low-level moisture could
support long-track supercells. All severe hazards will be possible
including large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes.
Additionally, locally heavy rainfall can be expected. The severe
weather threat is forecast to diminish toward daybreak.

Overnight convection to modify the atmosphere significantly,
especially north of interstate 20 allowing for any lingering
convection to remain mostly sub-severe from daybreak through mid-
morning. However, frontal boundary across the region to serve as
the trigger for convection late in the morning into the afternoon
hours. Some storms could produce hail, damaging winds, and
isolated tornadoes mainly across north-central and northeast
Louisiana. Location of initial convection will be based on the
placement of the frontal boundary as it moves east across north
Louisiana with severe threat ending during the early evening
hours as convection further strengthens and translates east
across the Mississippi River.

Otherwise, conditions to improve with skies clearing Tuesday night
with overnight lows in the lower to middle 50s.

05

LONG TERM.../Wednesday through Monday/

Quieter weather for Wed through the end of the work week. A weak
disturbance will move into the Plains Wed Night into Thu bringing
with it a reinforcing shot of cooler, drier weather on Thu into Thu
Night but there will not be enough moisture for any precipitation to
speak of. Instead, much cooler and below normal temperatures will be
felt, especially at night from Wed and Thu Nights.

Looking upstream for the weekend, upper ridging across the
Intermountain West and across the Great Plains will quickly flatten
out for Sat into Sunday as near zonal flow becomes southwesterly
aloft by Monday into response to our next storm system digging its
way across the Pacific Northwest. Kept slight chance pops in the
forecast for Sat/Sat Night, only upping pops to low end chance
variety for Sunday through Monday as some temporal issues are
plaguing the models concerning features to warrant anything higher
than chance pops this far out in the forecast. What is certain is a
quick warming trend this weekend into early next week with higher
dewpoints and higher humidities, what is more typical for the second
week of May.
