DEVELOPMENT ELSEWHERE MORE ISOLATED...BUT COULD SEE SOME FURTHER CONVECTION EXTENDING FROM NEAR KINDER SOUTHEAST INTO THE LOWER ATCHAFALAYA REGION WHERE ENHANCED CU IS NOTED ON VISIBLE SATELLITE. NAM HAS PUT IN A QUITE A PERFORMANCE LAST TWO DAYS...WITH ITS QPF FIELDS INDICATING AREAS OF CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT AND MOVEMENT QUITE WELL. NAM AND GFS INDICATE TOMORROW WILL SEE THE SAME AREAS FAVORED FOR CONVECTION...GENERALLY FROM EASTERN TEXAS/WESTERN LOUISIANA SOUTHEAST TO THE LOWER ATCHAFALAYA.

HOWEVER...DECENT LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE IS DEPICTED ACROSS WESTERN AREAS...FROM ROUGHLY THE LAKES AREA DOWN TO SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA FROM LEFT OVER OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WHICH HAS ADDED AN EXTRA FOCUS TO STORM DEVELOPMENT.
