AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS/BATON ROUGE LA 300 AM CDT THU JUN 03 2004 UPDATED TO REMOVE PORTION OF SVR WATCH AREA. .DISCUSSION... STRONG SH/TS MOVING THROUGH THIS MORNING. TONIGHT LOOKS TO BE CLOSE TO WHAT THIS MORNING IS SHOWING. LINE OF TS IS MOVING INTO HIGHER MOISTURE LADEN UNSTABLE AIR AS IT APPROACHES THE NORTHERN GULF. CANT SEE ANY OF THE LINE WEAKENING AS IT MOVES THROUGH. SHOULD SEE SOME STRENGTHENING FOR A SHORT TIME THIS MORNING. STRONG COLD POOLS ARE MOVING THROUGH THE UPPER LEVEL LONG WAVE TROUGH CAUSING VERY STRONG SHORT WAVES TO GENERATE MCS FEATURES THIS MORNING AND FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE GENERAL FLOW OF MOST RAINFALL SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTION OF LA AND MISS WHILE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WILL MOVE SOUTHWARD LIFTING THE WARM MOIST AIR OVER NIGHT CREATING SH/TS FOR THE AREA. CELL MERGERS THIS MORNING WITH THE LINE MAY ALSO BE A PROBLEM. MAIN THREAT WITH THE TS LINES WILL BE STRONG STRAIGHT LINE WINDS. AN ISOLATED TORNADO AND LARGE HAIL ARE POSSIBLE AS WELL BUT ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE THE MAJOR FOCUS. SOURCE REGION HAS BEEN THE RED RIVER VALLEY REGION AND THIS SHOULDNT CHANGE TONIGHT. DRY AIR WILL FINALLY INTRUDE BY FRIDAY GIVING STRONG SUPRESSION AND WARMING THE ATMOS FROM 850MB AND HIGHER. THIS SHOULD PUT A LID ON THE TS DEVELOPMENT AND KEEP ANY TS THAT DEVELOP TO THE NORTH FROM MOVING INTO THE AREA OR SHOULD DISSIPATE ANY OF THOSE THAT DO GET GOING. LOOKING DOWN THE ROAD...WILL NOT BOTHER THE EXTENDED FORECAST. GFS ADVERTISING SOME DEEP MOISTURE COVERING THE ENTIRE GULF BY 192+ HOURS. THEN THE GFS BEGINS ITS NATURAL SUMMERTIME PROCESS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO TRANSFER THE LATENT HEATING AT THE SFC AND ALOFT IN THE PRESENCE OF LIGHT WINDS AND CREATES A MESS IN THE BAY OF CAMPECHE??? && PRELIMINARY POINT NUMBERS...
