AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA
307 PM CDT SAT JUL 2 2005

.DISCUSSION...
BUSY DAY TO SAY THE LEAST AS WEVE HAD DAMAGE ACROSS JUST ABOUT EVERY
COUNTY AND PARISH SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR THIS AFTERNOON.
WILL BE BRIEF FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.  CONVECTIVE COMPLEX WILL BE JUST
ABOUT OUT OF THE REGION BY 400 PM...SO WILL SEND AN SPS ATTM WITH THE
ZONES TO CANCEL SVR WATCH #578. WILL KEEP SLIGHT CHANCE POPS GOING ALONG
AND SOUTH OF THE CORRIDOR WITH CHANCE EVENING POPS ACROSS OUR EXTREME
SOUTHEAST ZONES.

KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS GOING SOUTH OF THE CORRIDOR AGAIN FOR SUNDAY
AS BOUNDARY WILL STILL BE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD BUT NOT LOOKING FOR ANY
MORE COMPLEXES TO SWING THIS WAY FOR SUNDAY OR MONDAY.

CHANGED VERY LITTLE FOR THE EXTENDED PACKAGE WITH ALL THE WEATHER TODAY
AND THIS IS PROBABLY GOOD AS PROGS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE CONCERNING
POSSIBLE TROPICAL INFLUENCE BY MIDWEEK AND NORTHWEST FLOW OPENING UP
POSSIBLY ONCE AGAIN FOR THE END OF THE WEEK. PLENTY OF TIME TO DIGEST
THIS INFORMATION WHEN MORE TIME CAN BE SPENT WITH THE EXTENDED PACKAGE.
