AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA 330 PM CDT SAT JUN 30 2007 .DISCUSSION... CONTINUED MORE OF THE SAME...AT LEAST FOR THE SHORT TERM. UPPER LEVEL SHEAR AXIS WILL REMAIN NORTH AND WEST OF THE CWA THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK...ACCORDING TO THE NEW MODEL RUNS. HOWEVER... GFS MOS HAS HIGHER POPS FOR THE CWA...AND THE ONLY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IS INCREASE IN THE MEAN RH. WILL RAISE POPS A LITTLE...MORE IN LINE WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES AND MOS...BUT STILL SOME NOT CERTAIN THERE WILL BE MUCH CHANGE UNTIL TUESDAY. THIS IS WHEN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH BEGINS TO TILT TO THE SOUTHEAST...PLACING THE SHEAR AXIS OVER THE CWA. THE TROUGH IS THEN EXPECTED TO SINK SOUTH OF THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY...WHICH SHOULD HELP DECREASE POPS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AS IT BRINGS A WEAK SURFACE FRONT INTO THE REGION. THE FRONT MAY STALL IN SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA FRIDAY. SO THIS COULD BE THE AREA WHERE RAIN ENDS UP...BUT A LITTLE EARLY TO TELL THE EXACT LOCATION. FRONTS TYPICALLY DO NOT EVEN MAKE IT TO THE CWA IN JULY...BUT THIS HAS BEEN A NON TYPICAL JUNE. HAVE NOT ADJUSTED TEMPS YET FOR END OF THE WEEK...BUT LOWER DEWPOINTS NORTH HALF OF THE CWA COULD LEAD TO LOWER MINIMUMS IF SKIES CLEAR AT NIGHT. OTHERWISE CONTINUE WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S AND LOWS IN THE LOWER 70S. && .AVIATION... VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE TAF PERIOD...ALTHOUGH SCATTERED CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE SEABREEZE ACROSS DEEP E TX/N LA...WILL DIMINISH BETWEEN 1-4Z...WITH RESIDUAL CONVECTIVE DEBRIS LINGERING OVERHEAD. MVFR CIGS/VSBYS AND STRONGER WIND GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN/NEAR CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...SCATTERED CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST ACROSS EXTREME NE TX/SE OK/SW AR OVERNIGHT...AS AS WEAK SHEAR AXIS NUDGES A TAD FARTHER E INTO CNTRL/E OK. BUT CONVECTION SHOULD STAY N AND W OF THE TYR TERMINAL...AND W OF TXK. BRIEF MVFR VSBYS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN AREAS THAT SEE RAIN THIS AFTERNOON...IF CLOUD COVER THINS ENOUGH LATE. OTHERWISE...SCT/BKN MVFR CIGS WILL DEVELOP ONCE AGAIN AFTER 13Z BUT WILL BECOME VFR BY MID/LATE MORNING SUNDAY...WITH SCATTERED CONVECTION ONCE AGAIN DEVELOPING DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY. /15/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
