AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS/BATON ROUGE LA 645 AM CDT WED JUN 13 2001 LOOKING AT CURRENT RADAR THIS MORNING...PRETTY MUCH AGREE WITH MOB/S ASSESSMENT THAT THERE COULD BE FAIRLY DECENT COVERAGE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING ESP NOTING HOW UNSTABLE THIS AIRMASS IS. PRESENTLY...CONVECTION PRIMARILY FIRING IN THE COASTAL WATERS AND STRETCHING INTO THE MS COAST PROBABLY AS A RESULT OF A LINGERING CONVERGENT ZONE IN THESE AREAS. WILL GO AHEAD AND BUMP UP POPS FOR TODAY ESP WHERE CONVECTION IS FIRING RIGHT NOW. FEEL TEMP FORECAST SHOULD BE OK WHERE IT SITS AS OF NOW. PREVIOUS FORECAST DISCUSSION... NOT TOO MUCH TO DISCUSS WITH NEAR TYPICAL SUMMERTIME REGIME PERSISTING. OUTSIDE OF SPOTTY AFTERNOON CONVECTION...THIS MORNINGS PACKAGE WILL MAINLY BE A TEMP FORECAST. BOTH THE AVN AND THE ETA TRENDING SIMILAR TO LAST NIGHT/S RUNS WITH THE AVN BEING THE WETTER OF THE TWO. HOWEVER...ETA FORECAST SOUNDINGS DO INDICATE PW/S AROUND 1.50 INCHES PERSISTING THROUGH THU WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF ANY PREVENTIVE CAP. AVN TIME HEIGHTS CARRY MOISTURE TO AROUND 700 MB WITH THE BEST INSTABILITY PROGGED FOR THU. THESE FACTORS SUGGEST THE BEST SOLUTION FOR THIS PACKAGE WOULD BE A COMPROMISE OF THE TWO. THEREFORE...WILL BOOST THE POPS THU UP TO THE SCT CAT. UPPER LEVEL WISE...BOTH MODELS STILL SWING THE NW TROF ACROSS THE CENTRAL STATES THROUGH THU AND INTO THE NE SECTIONS ON FRI. AT THE SAME TIME...WEAK UPPER RIDGE OVER THE GULF CORRELATED WITH THE SFC HIGH OVER THE E GULF LOOK TO PERSIST OFFERING LITTLE CHANGE TO THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC PATTERN. WITH SLY FLOW LOCKED IN COUPLED WITH ABUNDANT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...TEMPS SHOULD REMAIN NEAR SEASONAL TRENDS THROUGH THU AND CARRYING INTO THE EXTENDED. NOT TOO CERTAIN WHAT THE EXTENDED MAY OFFER AS THE AVN NOW LOOKS TO SLOW DOWN THE ADVANCING FRONT BACK TOWARDS SAT. WITH THICKNESS PATTERNS BEHIND THIS BOUNDARY COLLAPSING AS THEY MOVE SWD...NOT TO CONFIDENT THIS WILL BE A SIG WX PRODUCER ALTHOUGH WILL CONTINUE WITH THE CHANCE CAT AS FAR AS PRECIP. AVN THOUGH DOES SUGGEST SOME DRIER AIR PUSHING SWD BEHIND THIS BOUNDARY STARTING SUN ALTHOUGH GIVEN THIS TIME OF THE YEAR COUPLED WITH SOME UNCERTAINTY...WILL LEAVE PRECIP WORDING IN THROUGH THE EXTENDED.
