...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, MARINE...
.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Friday night)
Issued at 355 AM CDT Wed Apr 10 2024
Our long anticipated severe weather/heavy rain event is finally
underway with local 88Ds showing a cluster of very slow moving
thunderstorms covering interior sern TX/cntl LA with various ob
networks showing up to 8 inches of rain having fallen across this
area. Meanwhile, regional 88Ds show a developing line of storms
approaching Houston metro which is progged to further strengthen and
sweep into/across the forecast area later this morning. Special 04z
KLCH sounding showed reasonable helicity to go along with good
CAPE/shear and exceptional moisture, thus all modes of severe remain
in play through the event. And accordingly, SPC has now issued a
Tornado Watch for the entire forecast area valid til 09L/14z.
In addition, no changes are planned to going hazards (Flood
Watch/Wind Advisory) based on latest guidance.
After this initial round of convection departs the region,
expecting another round, although with far less coverage, of
showers/storms associated with the advancing stacked low/sfc
frontal boundary to cross later this afternoon.
Once the afternoon precip exits the area, dry conditions are
expected for the remainder of the short term period as a nwrly
flow aloft behind the departing shortwave gradually transitions
to a more wrly flow, while sfc high pressure builds over the
region. An initial burst of post-frontal cooler weather will
gradually moderate.
25
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Wednesday)
Issued at 355 AM CDT Wed Apr 10 2024
Slim rain chances return to the forecast for Tuesday as another
mid/upper-level shortwave combines with a limited moisture return
off the Gulf to produce widely scattered showers and storms over
our extreme nrn zones. Otherwise, the long term period of the
forecast looks to be dry.
25
&&
.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1134 PM CDT Tue Apr 9 2024
Little change to the overall forecast thinking since the previous
package. Still expected a large swath of heavy rain and
thunderstorms to move across the region over the next 12 hours or
so, bringing frequent lighting, gusty/damaging winds, low
ceilings, and reduced VIS to all terminals. Conditions will begin
to improve west to east through the late morning into the early
afternoon. Some light showers will be possible through the
afternoon after the main threat is over however, these showers
aren't expected to pose many issues. Conditions will improve
quickly from the afternoon into the evening hours.
