AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA 245 PM CDT FRI JUN 17 2005 .DISCUSSION... MUCH OF THE REMAINING CONVECTION HAS DISSIPATED EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...AS S AR/N LA HAS BEEN SLOW TO DESTABILIZE IN WAKE OF THE MORNING CONVECTION. HOWEVER...RESIDUAL OUTFLOW BOUNDARY HAS REINFORCED THE WEAK STATIONARY BOUNDARY ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL LA INTO LOWER E TX THIS AFTERNOON...WITH TOWERS/WEAK CONVECTION DEVELOPING ALONG THE INSTABILITY AXIS. HOWEVER...MCV HASN/T MOVED ALL THAT MUCH SINCE THE MORNING DISCUSSION...AND REMAINS OVER CENTRAL AR PER SATELLITE/MOSAIC 88-D IMAGERY. MCV/TROUGH AXIS SHOULD CONTINUE ON A SE TRACK INTO SE AR/NE LA THIS EVENING...WITH DRIER AIR IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS FILTERING IN ON THE NW FLOW. BOUNDARY SHOULD STILL RUN NW TO SE ACROSS E TX AND N LA SATURDAY...THUS HAVE RETAINED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN VC OF THE BOUNDARY TO RESPECT INSTABILITY INCREASING WITH THE HEAT OF THE DAY. HOWEVER...WEAK UPPER RIDGE IN PLACE THIS AFTERNOON FROM SOUTHERN AZ/FAR W TX...IS EXPECTED TO AMPLIFY NORTHWARD INTO SOUTHERN CANADA DURING THE WEEKEND...THUS CAP MAY BE ENOUGH TO SUPPRESS MOST/IF NOT ALL CONVECTION THAT MAY TRY AND DEVELOP ON IT SATURDAY. LOOKS LIKE HOT/DRY/HUMID CONDITIONS WILL RETURN FOR MUCH OF THE NEXT WEEK...AS THE AFOREMENTIONED RIDGE IN PLACE WILL REMAIN DOMINANT ACROSS THE NATION/S HEARTLAND. HOWEVER...PROGS INDICATE THAT CURRENT TROUGHING ALONG THE E COAST WILL BECOME CUT OFF BY SUNDAY MORNING OVER THE CAROLINAS...AND SLOWLY RETROGRADES SW ACROSS GA/AL BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. GFS WANTS TO SHEAR THIS SYSTEM OUT BY TUESDAY...WITH A PIECE OF ENERGY POSSIBLY TAKING UP RESIDENCE IN THE NORTHERN GULF BY THURSDAY. IF THIS IS INDEED THE CASE...THEN THIS FEATURE WOULD ENHANCE SEABREEZE ACTIVITY BY LATE NEXT WEEK...WHICH WOULD HELP SLIGHTLY RELIEVE THE MODERATE/SEVERE DROUGHT CONDITIONS IN PLACE ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION. BUT FOR NOW...WILL KEEP FORECAST DRY AND AWAIT FUTURE RUNS BEFORE CATCHING ONTO THIS SCENARIO. HAVE TAILORED TEMPS A TAD ABOVE GUIDANCE IN THE SHORT TERM IN LIGHT OF DRY ANTECEDENT SOIL CONDITIONS EVEN AFTER RECENT RAINS. MOS OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT CUE ON OUR LACK OF SOIL MOISTURE...THUS AREAS THAT DID NOT RECEIVE RAIN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS WILL HAVE MORE OF A POTENTIAL TO WARM /I.E. E TX/.
