RAINS IN THE ERN SECTOR OF THE SYSTEM. LOW SHOULD TRACK FROM SE LA

TUE...ATL BY 00Z WED. IN SHORT...THIS MEANS RAIN (HEAVY AT TIMES)
ACRS MUCH OF THE FCST AREA TODAY INTO TONIGHT.
AS FAR AS THE FLASH FLOOD THREAT...WE ARE STARTING TO SEE SOME
BANDING AND TRAINING OF HEAVY CELLS (2 INCH/HOUR TOTALS) ON THE EAST
SIDE OF THE LOW OVER SERN LA AND COASTAL MS. THIS SHOULD CONTINUE
TO PROGRESS EAST INTO OUR AREA NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. ISOLATED CELLS

OF OUR AREA TODAY INTO TONIGHT.
DONT THINK WE WILL SEE NEAR THE AMOUNTS OF WIDESPREAD PROBLEMS OUR
NEIGHBORS TO THE W HAVE SEEN PAST COUPLE OF DAYS...BUT STILL ENOUGH
TO CAUSE PROBLEMS. DAYSHIFT WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO FINE TUNE THE
WATCH AND FCST AS THE SYSTEM EVOLVES FURTHER E TODAY. STAY TUNED.
MARINE-WISE...OFFSHORE BUOYS NOW GOING INTO SMALL CRAFT ADVSY
CRITERIA (42040). DOPPLER VWP VALUES FURTHER NE INDICATE WINDS

GO AHEAD AND HOIST THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE COASTAL
WATERS...EVEN THOUGH WE ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING WELL BELOW CRITERIA IN
THE ERN LEGS OF THE MARINE AREA. OVERALL...IT WONT BE A GOOD DAY
FOR BOATING.

DEEP MOISTURE THROUGH MIDWEEK.
