Area forecast discussion, May 18, 1:25 PM CST, 6 hours 13 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA 225 PM CDT FRI MAY 18 2001 MODELS ARE SIMILAR ON HANDLING THE UPCOMING WEATHER PATTERN THE NEXT TWO DAYS. PREFER THE AVN BECAUSE IT APPEARS TO BE HANDLING THE WEAK FRONT/OUTFLOW BOUNDARY OVER EAST OK AND WEST AR BETTER THAN THE NGM OR ETA. ALSO...THE LOCAL WORKSTATION ETA IS VERY CLOSE TO THE LARGER SCALE AVN MODEL WITH THIS FEATURE. THIS IS IMPORTANT CAUSE THIS FRONTAL/BOUNDARY ZONE MAY BE THE LOCATION WHERE ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION DEVELOPS TONIGHT...OVER SOUTHWEST AR AND POSSIBLY NORTH LA...IF THE BOUNDARY MAKES IT THAT FAR SOUTH. WILL FORECAST A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN SOUTHWEST AR...SOUTHEAST OK...AND NORTH CENTRAL LA...AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDER ELSEWHERE TONIGHT. THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE SEVERE IN ISOLATED CASES OVER SOUTHWEST AR OR NORTH CENTRAL LA TONIGHT. THE NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN LOOKS TO BE WITH AN APPROACHING TROUGH IN THE SOUTHWEST U.S...AND A COLD FRONT LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY. THIS FRONT WILL STRONG ENOUGH TO MAKE IT DOWN TO NEAR THE GULF COAST LATE MONDAY. AFTER THAT...A SLOW WARMING TREND WILL BEGIN BY MID WEEK. 03 SHV 68/88/68/89 2123 MLU 68/88/68/88 3123 TXK 68/87/67/87 3133 TYR 69/88/68/86 2123 LFK 68/89/68/88 2122 .SHV...NONE.
