Area forecast discussion, Aug 19, 1:50 PM CST, 40 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA 250 PM CDT SUN AUG 19 2001 MAIN QUESTION FOR THIS FORECAST IS RAIN CHANCES ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACHING FRONTAL SYSTEM THAT CURRENTLY STRETCHES ACROSS C AR AND INTO SE OK. MODELS DO NOT SEEM TO WANT TO PUSH THE FRONT DOWN MUCH FURTHER...POSSIBLY TO THE LA/AR STATE LINE AT BEST TONIGHT THEN PUSHING IT BACK N AS A WARM FRONT ON MON. MODELS SHOW GREATEST INSTABILITY IN NE SECTIONS TONIGHT ENOUGH FOR SOME WIDELY SCATTERED CONVECTION...MAINLY LATE. STRONGEST INSTABILITY APPEARS TO REMAIN NE OF THE CWFA. FOR MONDAY...ALONG THIS AREA AND SWD ACROSS N LA INSTABILITY APPEARS STRONGEST FOR SOME AFTERNOON HEAT INDUCED ACTIVITY. OTHERWISE...IT LOOKS LIKE FINALLY THE MODELS WILL DELIVER A LITTLE DRIER WEATHER OUTLOOK AS UPPER HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE IN OVER TX MON...AND INTO LA MON NT INTO TUE. AS FOR THE TEMPERATURES...WILL SHAVE SOME OFF OF NGM MOS HIGHS. STILL THINK THAT THEY ARE TOO WARM...ALTHOUGH WILL SHOW A WARMING TREND THROUGH THE WEEK. THE ONLY RELIEF IN SIGHT AS OF RIGHT NOW IS THE POSSIBILITY OF THE OUTER EDGES OF CHANTAL/S EXTENSION OF CLOUD COVER AND RAINFALL ACTIVITY TO POSSIBLY REACH THE SRN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA BY FRI AND INTO NEXT WEEKEND. AS OF NOW...MODELS SHOW THE UPPER CIRCULATION WANTING TO DRIVE CHANTAL TOWARD NRN MEX...WITH THE LA GULF COAST RECEIVING CONVECTION FROM THE EXTENSION OF CLOUD COVER IN THE NE QUADRANT. HOWEVER...THE MODELING/S HANDLING OF TROPICAL SYSTEMS THIS FAR OUT IS STILL QUESTIONABLE. 20 PRELIMS...
