AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SHREVEPORT LA 328 PM CDT TUE JUN 24 2014 .DISCUSSION... A VERY ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN FOR EARLY SUMMER CONTINUES. ALOFT...A WEAK TROUGH OVER NORTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA INTO DEEP EAST TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON WILL MOVE EAST TONIGHT. AT THE SURFACE...A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY WAS LOCATED ALONG OR JUST NORTH OF I 20. MODELS HAVE THIS FEATURE RETREATING NORTH TONIGHT WITH SOUTH WIND RETURNING AREA WIDE WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER GOING INTO WEDNESDAY...PWS WILL INCREASE AND ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH WILL APPROACH THE AREA FROM THE WEST. THERE IS ALSO A CHANCE THAT CONVECTION WELL WEST OF THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON COULD REACH WESTERN ZONES LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY. SO WEATHER ON WEDNESDAY IS EXPECTED TO BE ACTIVE... WITH BEST CHANCES FOR TSTMS SOUTHERN MOST ZONES AS DAYTIME HEATING KICKS IN. BELIEVE NORTHWEST ZONES MAY BE STABILIZED DUE TO CLOUD COVER FROM THE WESTERN ACTIVITY AND LIGHT PRECIP EARLY IN THE DAY...BUT THE CLOUD COVER MAY DECREASE BY AFTERNOON GIVING A CHANCE FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTION. LOOK FOR A DIURNAL DECREASE IN CONVECTION WEDNESDAY NIGHT...BUT ANOTHER INCREASE THURSDAY...MAINLY EASTERN AREAS...WHERE A TROUGH AXIS AND HIGHEST MEAN RH RESIDE. ON FRIDAY...A FAIRLY DEEP TROUGH FOR LATE JUNE DIGS INTO THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES AND THIS WILL KICK ACROSS THE REGION ON SATURDAY. SO HAVE BOUGHT A LITTLE BETTER CHANCE OF RAIN INTO THE FORECAST FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY NIGHT TO COVER THIS. BUT MODELS DISAGREE ON TIMING...SO IF THE SLOWER ECM PANS OUT...THERE MAY BE BETTER CHANCES FOR CONVECTION INTO THE WEEKEND. SO...IF THIS SYSTEM KICKS EAST ON SATURDAY...IT SHOULD BE FOLLOWED BY A RIDGE FROM THE SOUTHWEST...WHICH WILL BUILD SLOWLY INTO THE REGION NEXT WEEK... ENDING RAIN CHANCES AND INCREASING MAX TEMPS. SO FOR THE SHORT TERM...EXPECT SCATTERED CONVECTION THROUGH FRIDAY WITH BELOW NORMAL HIGH TEMPS...THEN A TRANSITION TO DRIER AND WARMER WEATHER FOR NEXT WEEK. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
