EARLY THIS MORNING RETURN FLOW WAS CONTINUING TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THE INCREASE IN MOISTURE IS EVIDENT TO OUR WEST IN SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA WITH DEW POINTS IN THE 60S. SOME ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL LEAD TO A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR SOME CONVECTION ACROSS OUR PCWA...MAINLY IN THE WESTERN ZONES.
