Area forecast discussion, Jan 28, 8:00 PM CST, 6 hours 45 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA 800 PM CST SUN JAN 28 2001 WATCHING AND WAITING EAGERLY FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS CENTRAL TEXAS. TIMING THE KEY HERE WITH SEVERAL THINGS YET TO COME TOGETHER BUT DEVELOPMENT MAY BE JUST A LITTLE DELAYED. THE FIRST NOTICEABLE FLY IN THE OINTMENT IS A 650-700 MB CAP OBSERVED ON BOTH SHV/FTW SOUNDINGS. LATEST RUC DATA SUGGESTS THAT THIS CAP WILL BEGIN TO BREAK NEAR OR JUST BEFORE 06Z AS UPPER SPEED MAX LIFTS OUT OF BIG BEND AREA OF TX. 700MB DRY SLOT REALLY STARTS TO MOISTEN UP AFTER MIDNIGHT WHICH SUGGESTS THE ARRIVAL OF LARGE SCALE ASCENT ACROSS CENTRAL TEXAS AND THUS...CONVECTION MAY BE A LITTLE LATER ARRIVING THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. INSTABILITY IS GOOD FOR LATE JANUARY WITH THE LATEST 00Z RUN OF THE RUC SUGGESTING LIS OF -3 TO -5 ACROSS E TX AFTER MIDNIGHT. AGREE WITH SPC THAT STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR ALREADY PRESENT ACROSS REGION DOES SHOW THE LIKELIHOOD OF A SQUALL LINE WITH PERHAPS EMBEDDED SUPERCELLS. WILL CHOOSE TO LEAVE FCST AS IS FOR NOW BUT MAY NEED TO UPDATE AND LOWER POPS ACROSS EAST SECTIONS DUE TO THE ANTICIPATED SLOWER DEVELOPMENT OUT WEST. 13 .SHV...NONE.
