NWS Shreveport, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 19, 8:40 AM CST, 20 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA 940 AM CDT TUE JUN 19 2007 .DISCUSSION... WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH HAS CLEARED THE AREA AND ZONAL FLOW ALOFT AS RIDGING BEGINS BUILDING OUT WEST. MODIFIED 12Z KSHV SOUNDING ANALYSIS IS VERY UNSTABLE...AND POINTS TO A DAMAGING WIND THREAT THIS AFTERNOON. ONLY LACKING INGREDIENT WILL BE TRIGGERS...W/ONLY DIURNAL HEATING AND OLD BOUNDARIES TO FIRE OFF OF. WE/LL DO AN UPDATE TO LOWER POPS IN LIEU OF THIS. ALSO...NEW NAM FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST BUMPING UP AFTERNOON HIGHS IN A COUPLE OF PLACES. UPDATES OUT SHORTLY. && .AVIATION... THE UPPER-LEVEL LOW IS FINALLY SHIFTING EAST ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. SHRA/TSRA COULD AGAIN DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AT AREA TERMINALS. THE BEST COVERAGE SHOULD BE AT KELD AND KMLU...NEAR A LINGERING SHEAR AXIS ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW. MOST PLACES SHOULD SEE FLIGHT CATEGORIES IMPROVING TO VFR TODAY...WITH REDUCTIONS TO MVFR OR LOWER POSSIBLE AROUND ANY SHRA/TSRA. AFTER SUNSET...MOST CONVECTION SHOULD DIMINISH WITH MAINLY VFR FLIGHT CATEGORIES EXPECTED THROUGH 20/1800 UTC. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 422 AM CDT TUE JUN 19 2007/ DISCUSSION... WEAK SHEAR AXIS WHICH WAS THE REMNANTS OF THE CLOSED LOW OVER TX FOR THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS...HAS NOW SHIFTED E TO THE MS DELTA REGION...WITH REGIONAL PROFILER DATA INDICATING TAIL END OF THIS SHEAR AXIS EXTENDING SW INTO CNTRL/S LA AND AT LEAST OUT ALONG THE TX COASTAL PLAINS. MOSAIC RADAR IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE CENTER/LOCALIZED VORTICITY MAXIMA SHIFTING ENE FROM SE AR INTO NW MS THIS MORNING...WHILE SEABREEZE ACTIVITY ALREADY UNDERWAY ACROSS EXTREME SE TX/S LA. THE SHEAR AXIS WILL SLOWLY DRIFT S AWAY FROM THE AREA TODAY...BUT NOT BEFORE ANOTHER ROUND OF SCATTERED CONVECTION DEVELOPING MAINLY ACROSS SCNTRL AR THIS MORNING...AND ACROSS MUCH OF NCNTRL LA BY AFTERNOON. 00Z KSHV RAOB INDICATES THAT OUR CURRENT AIR MASS REMAINS UNCHANGED FROM 24 HRS AGO...WITH PW/S STILL NEAR 2. REGIONAL RAOBS TO THE E/S OF THE AREA INDICATE MUCH THE SAME...THUS STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP MAY PRODUCE BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL. AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT MUCH LIKE MONDAY...TEMPS WILL HEAT UP SUFFICIENTLY ENOUGH SUCH THAT THE AIR MASS MAY FURTHER STABILIZE A LITTLE MORE THAN THE MODELS HAVE FORECAST...WHICH WOULD ENHANCE A LOCALIZED SVR THREAT. DEEP LAYER SHEAR NEAR 20KTS SUGGEST THAT INDIVIDUAL STORM CLUSTERS APPEAR A GOOD BET...WITH STORMS INTERACTING WITH AVAILABLE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES/DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARIES THROUGH THE DAY. GIVEN A HIGHER FREEZING LEVEL NEAR 14.5KFT PER THE 00Z KSHV RAOB...HAIL WILL LIKELY BE MINIMAL...WITH DAMAGING WINDS THE MAIN THREAT. BELIEVE SVR POTENTIAL WILL BE MINIMAL THOUGH...WITH BETTER POTENTIAL FURTHER TO THE E CLOSER TO THE TROUGH/SHEAR AXIS...BUT WILL DISCUSS ISOLATED SVR THREAT IN THE MORNING HWO...BUT OMIT FROM THE CURRENT FORECAST. MAY ALSO HAVE TO CONTEND WITH A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY ASSOCIATED WITH THE N PLAINS SHORTWAVE...WHICH WILL RAPIDLY TRAVERSE E ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION/S CANADA...THUS FORCING THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SE ACROSS CNTRL/E OK AND CNTRL AR. GOOD HEATING ALONG THE FRONT MAY ALSO FOCUS ISOLATED CONVECTION ACROSS SE OK/SW AR THIS AFTERNOON...WITH RESIDUAL ACTIVITY DIMINISHING SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET WITH THE LOSS OF HEATING. FRONT EXPECTED TO BECOME STATIONARY THIS EVENING OVER SE OK/SCNTRL AR/NCNTRL MS...BUT MAY BE REINFORCED SW ACROSS SCNTRL AR/NE LA LATE TONIGHT/WEDNESDAY IN RESPONSE TO PRESSURE RISES ASSOCIATED WITH THE BUILDING SURFACE RIDGE OVER THE MID MS VALLEY. THUS...THIS DIFFERENTIAL MOISTURE BOUNDARY...WITH ADDED HEATING IN AN ALREADY MOIST ENVIRONMENT...MAY YIELD ISOLATED CONVECTION IN THE AFTERNOON WEDNESDAY. BUT SLIGHTLY LOWER AFTERNOON RH/S MAY WORK INTO THE E ZONES WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. BUT OTHERWISE...UPPER RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO AMPLIFY OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION/ROCKIES WEDNESDAY AS WELL...EXPANDING E INTO THE S PLAINS/GULF COAST REGION THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. THIS SPELLS AN END TO THE RAINY PATTERN AS OF LATE...AND THE START OF A PERIOD OF ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. RIDGE PATTERN DOES CONTINUE TO LOOK A LITTLE DIRTY...WITH GFS TRYING TO BRING WEAK PERTURBATIONS DOWN AROUND THE RIDGE FRIDAY AND AGAIN THIS WEEKEND...BUT WILL OMIT POPS FROM THE FORECAST ATTM GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTIES/LACK OF RUN TO RUN CONSISTENCY. HOWEVER...GFS CONTINUES TO EXPAND THE RIDGE E INTO THE TN/OHIO VALLIES SUNDAY/EARLY NEXT WEEK...WHICH WOULD IMPLY SUBTLE EASTERLY WAVES COULD AFFECT THE REGION DURING THIS TIME. THUS...ISOLATED POPS MAY NEED TO BE ADDED FOR THE AREA IN LATER FORECASTS. PRELIMS ARE NEXT... 15 AVIATION... AREAS OF MVFR TO OCCASIONAL IFR CONDITIONS...CONTINUING TIL 14Z. IMPROVING TO VFR BETWEEN 15Z AND 17Z. HOWEVER CONVECTION IS EXPECTED AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...FROM ISOLATED COVERAGE OVER THE WEST SUCH AS TYR...TO NUMEROUS COVERAGE OVER THE EAST SUCH AS MLU. SCATTERED CONVECTION COVERAGE IN BETWEEN SUCH AS SHV/TXK/LFK. TYPICAL MVFR AND SPOTTY IFR CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS AND TSTMS...AS WELL AS LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
