SW ONSHORE FLOW BRINGING SEABREEZE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA...AS WELL BAND OF INCREASED CLOUD COVER ACROSS NE LA/C MS MOVING SE ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER LEVEL VORT MAX WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH SE DURING AFTERNOON AND ENHANCE SEABREEZE ACTIVITY. THIS IS COVERED WELL IN CURRENT PACKAGE. && .DISCUSSION... STUCK IN A WEDGE BETWEEN UPPER LOW TO THE NORTH AND UPPER HIGH TO THE SOUTH. STAGNANT PATTERN IS DUE TO STACKED SYSTEMS. THE HIGH TO THE SOUTH EXTENDS DOWN TO THE SFC AND THE LOW TO THE NORTH EXTENDS TO THE SFC(OLD DENNIS). A VORTICITY LOBE ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER LOW TO THE NORTH WILL MOVE SOUTHWARD TODAY CAUSING THE SFC TROUGH/COLD FRONT TO MOVE A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH BEFORE STALLING ONCE AGAIN. ATTM IT IS STUCK OVER SOUTHERN ARK/NORTHERN LA. THIS BOUNDARY WILL ENHANCE THE SH/TS OVER THE AREA BEGINNING TODAY. TEMPS WILL BE THE HARDEST VARIABLE TO SHOW ANY SKILL AT. SCATTERED SH/TS WILL PROVIDE CLOUD COVER TO SEVERAL LOCATIONS AND TIMING WILL BE A FACTOR AS WELL. WILL SUFFICE TO KEEP ALL LOCATIONS NEAR OR IN THE LOWER 90S. OLD REMNANTS OF DENNIS WILL FINALLY BE PICKED UP IN THE WESTERLIES STARTING SAT MORNING. BY THIS TIME, EXTENDED MODEL GUID SHOWS EMILY IN THE CARRIBEAN. AS OLD DENNIS MOVES NE, THE UPPER TROUGH PICKING IT UP BEGINS TO ERODE THE RIDGE OVER THE GULF CAUSING IT TO WEAKEN A BIT. THE GFS IS ADVERTISING SOME STRONG MCS FEATURES SWINGING OUT FROM THE BASE OF THE TROUGH STARTING THIS FRIDAY. THE UPPER TROUGH IS ALSO ADVERTISED TO STAY PUT OVER OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE RUN. THE GLOBAL SUITES ALSO SHOW EMILY MOVING ON A WNW COURSE INTO MEXICO.
