AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA
350 PM CDT SAT SEP 23 2006

.DISCUSSION...
FRONT CURRENTLY ACROSS CWA...NEAR A TXK-TYR LINE. BROKEN LINE OF
STORMS ALONG FRONT AT THIS TIME MOVING EAST WITH ANOTHER LINE OF
TSTMS DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THIS LINE IN DEEP EAST TEXAS. SEVERE TSTM
WATCH CURRENTLY IN EFFECT ALONG AND AHEAD OF FRONT UNTIL 8 PM THIS
EVENING. THE WATCH DOES NOT INCLUDE SOUTHEAST COUNTIES BUT EXPECT
ONE WILL BE ISSUED LATER THIS EVENING AS STORMS MOVE EAST. WENT
WITH LIKELY OR HIGHER POPS AHEAD OF FRONT...BUT WITH BROKEN
LINE... PARTS OF EAST TEXAS MAY GET MISSED IF STORMS DO NOT FILL
IN SOON. WILL KEEP SOME POPS INTO SUNDAY...GENERALLY EAST OF A
LFK-SHV-ELD LINE. BY SUNDAY EVENING DRY AND COOLER AIR SHOULD WORK
INTO ALL OF CWA.

MODELS SEEM TO BE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH TIMING OF FRONT.
HOWEVER NAM GENERATES SIGNIFICANTLY MORE LIFT OVER CWA...THUS
MORE QPF AND IT CONTINUES IT THROUGH MOST OF THE NIGHT. GFS LOOK MORE
REASONABLE...AT LEAST OVER CWA WITH LOWER QPF AND LESS LIFT...
ENDING PCPN SOONER.

DRY AND COOL WEATHER EXPECTED BEHIND FRONT. SOUTHERLY WINDS
RETURN TUESDAY...WITH ANOTHER QUICK WARM UP WEDNESDAY. ANOTHER
FRONT WILL CROSS AREA THURSDAY...BRINGING NEXT CHANCE OF PCPN.

&&

.AVIATION...
INTENSE TSTM ACTIVITY JUST AHEAD OF COLD FRONT...ALONG AND JUST
SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 30. STRONGEST STORM OVER SW AR DROPPING AN
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ALONG THE LA BORDER AND INTO EXTREME NE TX.
THIS MAY BE A REGION FOR SUDDEN REDEVELOPMENT. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
IN WARM SECTOR GRADUALLY INTENSIFYING...ESPECIALLY JUST WEST OF
TOLEDO BEND. CLOUDS APPEAR TO SCATTER OUT BEHIND FRONT QUICKER THAN
ORIGINALLY THOUGHT.
