AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA 256 PM CDT FRI JUN 10 2011 .SYNOPSIS... SURFACE RIDGE CENTERED OVER THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO. A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDS FROM NORTHERN VIRGINIA WESTWARD INTO MISSOURI AND THEN SOUTHWESTWARD INTO WESTERN TEXAS. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE IS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN THE SAME TIME YESTERDAY. TEMPERATURES ARE HOVERING IN THE LOW 90S WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S. && .DISCUSSION... NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES MADE TO THE FORECAST PACKAGE AS MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT AND THUS FORECAST THINKING HAS NOT CHANGED. AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO THE AREA OVER THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER...WITH AMPLE MOISTURE IN PLACE...DAYTIME HEATING SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO FIRE OFF A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THUS WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY 20 TO 30 PERCENT POPS ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. DUE TO THE RIDGE... ANY CONVECTION WILL LIKELY NOT FIRE UNTIL THE LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING. BY EARLY NEXT WEEK...MOISTURE SHIFTS EASTWARD AS THE RIDGE TAKES A STRONGER HOLD OF THE AREA. THIS SHOULD LIMIT CONVECTION EVEN FURTHER AND WILL CARRY ONLY 15 TO 20 PERCENT POPS THROUGH MUCH OF THE WORK WEEK. AFTERNOON TEMPS EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL... TOPPING OUT IN THE MID 90S...AND POSSIBLY UPPER 90S...THROUGH MOST OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. && .AVIATION... OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR ALL SITES TODAY.
