.SHORT TERM...
(Thursday through Friday)
Issued at 301 AM CDT Thu May 11 2023

The onset of our heavy rain event began late last evening across
parts of Deep East Texas, but we still have several more hours to
go before the flooding threat subsides farther north and east into
North Louisiana and much of South Arkansas. Given the impressive
rain totals thus far, most notably in the area around Nacogdoches,
a flash flood warning was issued for a sizable area of Deep East
Texas where as much as 3-5 inches of rain have already fallen with
slightly more expected. This heavy rain axis will begin to expand
farther NE through the remainder of this morning so have kept the
Flood Watch intact through its scheduled expiration at 1 PM this
afternoon.

A 35-40kt LLJ will continue to pump moisture farther north and
east while the advancing upper-level trough maintains support for
lift and forcing. With PWATs still near 2 inches and a saturated
column, very productive rain rates will continue through the rest
of this morning and possibly into the early afternoon across our
eastern zones. Therefore, cannot rule out a possible extension of
the Flood Watch through late this afternoon for our easternmost
zones. This will largely depend on the speed of movement and rain
rates farther east, and the expectation is that daytime heating
should help to reinforce the convection over our eastern half by
later this morning. Meanwhile, our western zones will begin to see
convection ending by late morning into the midday timeframe with
high temperatures warming into the lower to mid 80s while cooler
readings in the mid to upper 70s are expected across the east.

By this evening, much of the region is expected to be rain-free as
the upper trough lifts farther NE out of the area. Overnight low
temperatures will generally range from the upper 60s to lower 70s.
Weak ridging will set up on Friday with much warmer temperatures
expected as afternoon highs will range from the mid to upper 80s.
Scattered convection can't be ruled out, however, as instability
will increase sharply into the afternoon so look for a very warm
and humid day with a summerlike feel to wrap up the work week.

.LONG TERM...
(Friday Night through Thursday)
Issued at 301 AM CDT Thu May 11 2023

As we move into the upcoming weekend, upper ridging aloft will
extend westward from the SE CONUS, into the Lower Mississippi
Valley, and into the eastern half of our CWA. Despite that, an
unsettled weather pattern will continue across the region. As of
now, it appears the highest chances for rain will be across our
western zones, as those areas will continue to be affected by
disturbances moving along the peripheral of the ridge. This
generally includes East Texas, SE Oklahoma, and portions of SW
Arkansas, north of I-30. Can't rule out some of this convection
continuing during the evening and overnight hours. The remainder of
the region will see continued rain chances, but mostly during the
afternoon hours with the aid of peak heating. By early next week,
rain chances will remain areawide, as an upper trough will slowly
push a cool front through the region. Behind the upper trough/cold
front, drier and less humid conditions should move into the region
by the middle of next week. However, some of the latest model runs
continue to trend more wetter, keeping rain chances across portions
of the region. At this time, any organized severe weather threats
remain low during the long-term period, but an isolated threat for
damaging winds and possibly large hail, can't be ruled out. Also,
with the prolong period of rainfall, the threat for isolated
flooding will continue.

Some uncertainty still exists with the temperature forecast during
this period, mainly due to rain and cloud cover. Still thinking that
most locations will at least climb into the 80s each day, but breaks
in cloud cover and rain during the afternoon hours could result in
some locations approaching 90 degrees. Regardless, continued
southerly flow will keep muggy conditions across the area. But,
there could be some relief from the humidity by the middle of next
week behind the aforementioned upper trough/cool front.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 717 AM CDT Thu May 11 2023

For the 11/12Z TAF period, cigs continue to drop across our airspace
with active convection ongoing this morning. Expect these trends to
translate farther east through the remainder of this morning as an
upper-level trough lifts farther NE across the area. Most TAF sites
will contend with SHRA with some embedded TSRA, generally through
the first half of the period before gradually diminishing in both
coverage and intensity this afternoon before clearing by evening.
Cigs will also improve late in the period with MVFR to low VFR
conditions returning, but lower cigs will make a return by 12/06Z.
Sfc winds will maintain a primary S/SE component between 5-10 kts
on average with higher gusts possible invof of convection.
