AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA 320 AM CDT MON APR 11 2005 .DISCUSSION... WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS CLOSED LOW SPINNING ACROSS EXTREME WESTERN KANSAS EARLY THIS MORNING...WITH THE TRAILING COLD FRONT FROM WESTERN OKLAHOMA INTO NORTHWEST TEXAS...WEST AND NORTHWEST OF ABILENE AND SAN ANGELO TEXAS. HOWEVER...THE DRY LINE WAS A BIT FARTHER EAST...ROUGHLY FROM WICHITA FALLS TO JUNCTION TEXAS. THIS VIGOROUS SYSTEM WILL SLOWLY PUSH ACROSS KANSAS TODAY...WITH THE COLD FRONT OVERTAKING THE DRY LINE LATER THIS MORNING. THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE NEAR A TXK...SHV...LFK LINE BY 00Z TONIGHT. OUT AHEAD OF IT...STRONG DYNAMICS...WILL ALLOW FOR NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE AREA TODAY...BUT THE ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO TAPER OFF ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA LATER THIS MORNING...AS ENERGY FROM MID LEVEL VORTICITY LOBE ROTATES INTO THE AREA...SHIFTING THE BEST DYNAMICS EASTWARD ACROSS SOUTHERN ARKANSAS INTO NORTHERN LOUISIANA. INSTABILITY TODAY IS MODERATE AT BEST WITH CAPE VALUES GENERALLY LESS THAN 1000...LIFTED INDEX VALUES BETWEEN -2 AND -4...DUE TO WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER AND PRECIPITATION EXPECTED. BUT THIS INSTABILITY...COMBINED WITH GOOD SHEAR AND MID LEVLE LAPSE RATES BETWEEN 6 AND 7 DEGREES...IS MORE THAN ADEQUATE FOR SOME SEVERE STORMS. THUS...WILL HAVE SEVERE WORDING EVERYWHERE TODAY. WILL EVEN HAVE SEVERE WORDING ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA THIS EVENING...FOR SOME THUNDERSTORMS THAT MAY FORM ALONG THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT. LOOKS LIKE THE FRONT SHOULD BE THROUGH EAST TEXAS BEFORE THE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP ALONG IT. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD BE OUT OF THE AREA BY AROUND MIDNIGHT. DUE TO THE POOLING OF HIGHER PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES NEAR 1.75 INCHES ACROSS SOUTHERN ARKANSAS AND NORTHERN LOUISIANA...AND FAVORED DYNAMICS SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL BETWEEN 2 AND 4 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS EVENING. WILL PUT LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IN THE FORECAST...BUT WILL NOT ISSUE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AT THIS TIME AS FLOOD GUIDANCE IS OVER 2 INCHES IN ONE HOUR AND BETWEEN 3 AND 4 INCHES IN 6 HOURS. IN THE WAKE OF FRONTAL PASSAGE LATER TODAY OR EVENING...THE WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN DRY THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEKEND. THE CLOSED LOW WILL KEEP TO A SLOW PACE EASTWARD...ONLY MAKING IT TO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY BY WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL KEEP THE AREA IN NORTHWEST FLOW...WHICH SHOULD BE DRY. THE MODELS HINT AT SOME ENERGY ON THE BACK SIDE OF THIS LOW AFFECTING THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT/WEDNESDAY...BUT THIS SHOULD ONLY BRING SOME CLOUD COVER. WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY SLIGHT POPS ACROSS THE NORTH AT THIS TIME. BEYOND WEDNESDAY...RIDGING WILL DOMINATE THE WEATHER PATTERN...WITH NEXT TROUGH POSSIBLY AFFECTING THE AREA BY NEXT SUNDAY...BUT THE LATEST GFS GUIDANCE IS SHOWING MOST OF THE ENERGY WELL TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

IN ADDITION...SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE TODAY...WITH ISOLATED RAINFALL AMOUNTS BETWEEN 2 AND 3 INCHES POSSIBLE THROUGH TONIGHT. THIS COULD CREATE SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING...ESPECIALLY IN LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
