AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA 345 PM CDT WED MAY 25 2005 .DISCUSSION... AN ALREADY BAD DAY WAS MADE EVEN WORSE...SQUALL LINE ENTERING THE WESTERN FRINGES OF THE CWA AND WE ARE BLIND AS A BAT AS THE KSHV RADAR WILL REMAIN DOWN UNTIL THURSDAY MORNING. AND NONE OF THE PROGS DO NOT HINT MUCH AT THE CURRENT CONVECTION ONGOING ACROSS E TX. BUT WILL MAKE A GUESS BASED ON CURRENT SURFACE ANALYSIS. BELIEVE CURRENT CONVECTION WILL BACKBUILD S ACROSS PORTIONS OF LOWER E TX ALONG THE INSTABILITY AXIS ALONG/S OF THE STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM NEAR TYR...TO JUST S OF SHV...TO IER AND CENTRAL MS. SINCE MOS IS CLUELESS WITH THE CURRENT SCENARIO...WILL PLACE HIGH CHANCE POPS WITH SVR WORDING OVER E TX...TAPERING TO SLIGHT CHANCE OVER SW AR/NW LA. COMPLEX SHOULD WEAKEN ON THE NORTHERN FRINGES AS IT ENCOUNTERS MORE OF A STABLE/DRIER AIR MASS...BUT BLOWOFF WILL REMAIN PERSISTENT THROUGH MUCH OF THE EVENING BEFORE SKIES BEGIN TO CLEAR. THUS...THIS MAY THROW OFF TEMPS SOME TONIGHT AS I WAS ORGINALLY EXPECTING LESS CLOUD COVER FOR GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING. MCS COLD POOL SHOULD REINFORCE THE WESTERN FRINGE OF THE SURFACE BOUNDARY...THUS SHOVING IT S OF THE AREA BY MORNING. NEXT COLD FRONT WILL ENTER THE AREA THURSDAY AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH THIS NEXT BOUNDARY WILL BECOME MORE AND MORE DIFFUSE AS IT APPROACHES THE BOUNDARY TO THE S. LEFT IN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR SE OK/E TX...BUT TOOK POPS OUT A LITTLE FARTHER E AS MEAN RH/PW/S WILL REMAIN LOW. MODELS HINT AT OUR NEXT MCS DEVELOPING ACROSS E CO THURSDAY EVENING...TRACKING SE INTO THE TX PANHANDLE FRIDAY MORNING...AND INTO N TX BY AFTERNOON. BY THIS TIME...OUR NEXT FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHOULD PULL UP STATIONARY SOMEWHERE ACROSS E TX/N LA...AS WESTERLY FLOW BECOMES MORE DOMINANT WITH THE UPPER RIDGE WEAKENING AND SHIFTING W AWAY FROM THE AREA. HOWEVER...CONVERGENCE ALONG THE BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN WEAK...AND WEAK OVERRUNNING DOESN/T COMMENCE UNTIL FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY IN TIME AS THE ENTRACE REGION OF THE UPPER JET COMES INTO PLAY. WILL MAINTAIN CURRENT MID RANGE CHANCE POPS OVER THE WEEKEND...GIVEN INCREASING PW/S TO NEAR 1.75. GFS APPEARS TO BE SUFFERING FROM FEEDBACK PROBLEMS OVER THE WEEKEND AGAIN...BUT GIVEN PRESCENCE OF THE BOUNDARY OVER THE AREA...FEEL THAT MUCH OF THE AREA WILL GET A DESCENT SHOT AT SOME MUCH NEEDED RAINFALL. WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS GOING THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE 12Z GFS WANTS TO BRING ANOTHER SHARP SHORTWAVE ACROSS OK/AR MONDAY...WITH YET ANOTHER LATE SPRING FRONT TRYING TO PUSH S INTO THE REGION. LOOKS LIKE NW FLOW WILL BE REESTABLISHED BY MIDDWEEK AHEAD OF THE NEXT BUILDING RIDGE OVER THE W...THUS THE RETURN TO VERY WARM/DRY CONDITIONS. PRELIMS ARE NEXT... && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
