Quiet Conditions Will Continue To Prevail Through Wednesday As A
Surface Ridge Shifts East Across The Lower Mississippi Valley Tonight
And Into The Southeast Conus During The Day Wednesday. Moisture
Will Begin To Increase Wednesday Night As Southerly Flow Develops
On The Back Side Of The Low Level Ridge And In Advance Of An Upper
Short Wave Trough...currently Moving Into The Pacific Northwest...
That Will Traverse The Northern Conus Through The End Of The Work
Week. This System Will Push A Cold Front South Across The Forecast
Area Late Thursday Night And Friday With Scattered To Numerous
Showers And A Few Thunderstorms Expected By Late Thursday Into
Friday Morning Before The Front Slowly Pushes Into The North Gulf.
This Boundary Will Return North As A Warm Front Over The Weekend As
An Upper Low/trough Develops And Deepens Over The Western U.s. And
Moves East Across The Rockies And Eventually Into The Plains And
Mississippi Valley By The Beginning Of The Next Work Week. This
Scenario Will Keep The Chance Of Rain In The Forecast During The
Weekend...especially The Last Half...with An Even Better Chance Of
Convection Expected Monday.

The Main Forecast Concern For This Package Centers Around Rain
Chances Through Monday. Upper Ridge Will Shift East Across The
Lower Mississippi Valley And The Central Gulf Coast Region Over
The Weekend While An Upper Trough Deepens Over The Western Conus.
The Nearly Stationary Frontal Boundary Draped South Of The Coast
Today Will Begin To Move North As A Warm Front Tonight And Shift
North Across The Forecast Area During The Day Sunday As Southwest
Flow Aloft Prevails Across The Region In Advance Of The Western
Upper Trough. Initially The Atmosphere Is Quite Dry...but It
Begins To Moisten Up Later Today And Tonight As Southwest Flow
Aloft Becomes Established And Increases. The Entire Forecast Area
Is Expected To Get Into The Warm Sector Sunday. As The Warm Front
Shifts North...rain Chances Will Be On The Increase...especially
Across Western Sections Of The Forecast Area Tonight. A Lead Short
Wave Will Bring Likely Pops To The Northern And Western Forecast
Zones And Points North And West Sunday With A Good Chance Farther
East And South. Models Move The Upper Low/trough Out Of The
Western Conus And Into The Southern And Central Plains Monday
With The System Taking On A Negative Tilt. There Are Some
Differences With The Forecast Location Of This System Monday In The
Plains With The Nam A Little Farther South Than The Gfs And Ecmwf.
The Forecast Strong Dynamics...favorable Upper Jet Position...and
The Degree Of Instability And Shear In The Forecast Soundings
Suggest The Threat Of Severe Weather Monday. The Cold Front Associated
With This System Is Expected To Move Across The Region Late Monday
And Monday Night. Dry And Cooler Weather Is Expected For Most Of
The Middle And End Of The Week With Perhaps A Small Chance For
Rain Mainly Across Coastal Areas Late Wednesday Night And Thursday
As A Short Wave Move Across The Northern Gulf. A Reinforcement Of
Cooler Air Is Expected For The End Of The Week With Northwest Flow
Aloft Prevailing.

Focus Will Be Mainly On Strong To Severe Weather Today. Main Jet
Level Div And 700mb Lift Will Be Coupled Over North Louisiana
Through Central And Northern Mississippi Before Spreading Into Ala
Later Today. Dynamic Forcing Will Not Be As Great This Far South
But That Is Not To Take Away From Severe Possibility. Vad Winds
Are Running Around 35 To 40 Kt At 1000ft And Sfc Winds 12 To 15
Kt. As Sfc Winds Increase During The Day...helicity Values Will
Drop Since The Current Values Are Indicative Of The Spead Shear
And Not Veering. Therefore Tornadic Possibility With Ts Will Be
Considerably Decreased While Strong Wind Gusts And Hail Threat
Will Be Viable. The Two Main Features For Main Threat Area Will Be
First...location Of The Warm Front And Second...buoyant Forcing
Due To Heating.

Warm Front Is Currently Located From Just North Of Btr To North Of
Mobile And Exiting Into The Gulf Near Pensacola. This Warm Front
Is Expected To Coninue Northward As The Sfc Low In Tx Gets Closer.
Hopefully This Will Be The Case. If Not...things Will Change
Significantly Since Storms That Develop Along The Boundary And
Move Parallel Will Feed From The Lifting Moisture Supply And
Strongly Veering Winds. Tornadic Develop Would Be Significantly
Enhanced As Well. Spc Is Also Expecting The Boundary To Be North
Of Our Cwa As Well And It Is Also Where They Have Drawn The
Moderate Risk Area...for Good Reason.

If Persistance Is King Then We Should See Clouds Along With Strong
Gradient Winds Keeping The Sfc Column Mixed And Ventilated Causing
Temps To Stay Below 80. Trigger Temps Are Going To Be Around 80
Today So If Clouds Do Break And Temps Are Allowed To Move Into The
80s...thermal Properties Will Cause Concern For Severe Ts. Spc Has
Taken This Into Consideration And Issued A Slight Risk For Severe
Ts Over The Entire Area.

This Will Be The Spoil Area For The Severe Ts That Develop To The
North Of Us. Most Of The Subsidence That Is Created By The Lift To
The North Will Be Sent This Way Causing The Southern End Of The
Line Of Storms To Weaken A Bit As They Move Through. Some Guidance
Is Handling This Strong And Some Very Weak. For This Reason We
Will Stay With Current Numbers Across The Board.

Secondary Surge Of Cool Air Making Its Way Into The Gulf This
Morning. This Along With Some Cloud Cover Should Help Keep Temps
About 8 Degrees Cooler Than Yesterday. The Question Today Will Be
How Much Cloudiness? Low Clouds Jus Tnorth Of The Area Are
Sucumbing To A Dry Subsident Air Mass Over Us. We Should See Some
Of These Clouds From Time To Time But The Day Should Be Mainly
Cloud Free...especially South Of The Lake. Later Today Will See
Mid Level(10k`) Clouds Begin To Move Into The Area. This Will Cap
Any Further Cooling Via Radiation. But Caa Will Continue On
Northerly Winds And Temps Will Fall Into The Low To Mid 40s With
Temps Around 50 In The New Orleans Area Due To 65 Degree Water
Temps Modifying Areas Just South Of Lake Pontchartrain.

Low In The Gulf Develops And Moves Ene Slowing As It Nears Fla. A
Strong High Moves Se Out Of Nw Texas A Little Faster Than The Sfc
Low Can Move East Causing The Pres Gradient To Compress. This Will
Simply Cause The N-ne Winds To Strengthen Starting Thu Evening.

A Continued Hit And Miss Scenario Will Be Seen For The Next Few
Days. Enough Moisture Will Exist For Pop Chances To Stay In The
30% Range Or Better But To Get Better Chances We Need To Lift
This Moisture. The Largest Forcing Parameter Will Be From Buoyancy Due
To Heating. There Are A Few Perturbed Areas In The Main Mid Level
Flow To Help Initiate A Few Other Sh/ts But With The Absence Of
Any Moderate Or Strong Dynamics Rain Chances Will Ramain Low(30%).

Next Cold Front Will Make Its Way Slowly Eastward Before Stalling
Over Northern La/miss. An Area Of Sh/ts Will Move South Away From
The Front As It Stalls. With No Support...the Area Of Sh/ts Will
Decay. Then We Should See A Diurnal Swing Of Sh/ts Devlopment
Mainly Along The Stalled Frontal Axis Over Northern La/miss.

In The Upper Levels...the Trough To The North And A High To The
South Is Creating A Linear Directional Shear Profile Causing A
Divergent Upper Level Regime. This Area Is Beginning To Move East
Of The Once Associated Sfc Cold Front. The Cold Front Is Located
From Sw Oklahoma To Eastern Missouri And Back Up Into A Sfc Low
Just West Of Chanhassen Minnesota. The Upper Level Shear Axis Is
Now Located From Ne Tx Into Illinois. When These Two Areas
Were Coupled...an Explosion Of Sh/ts Developed Yesterday Evening.
As These Two Areas Part...the Sfc Connection Will Be Lost Until
Heating Commences. This Is Where The Gfs Cranks Up The Qpf And
Pops. With Heating Today...we Should Reach Convective Temps Which
Are Around 80. If And When Cloud Cover Is Developed And Persists
Over The Area...the Heating Will Be Hindered Causing Sh/ts To
Decrease In Coverage Later This Afternoon.

Sh/ts That Develop Will Move North Quickly. Subsidence Is Created
Behind The Upper Shear Zone Causing The Upper To Mid Levels To
Warm And Dry Late Tonight Into Saturday. This Should All But Cut Off
Any Chance Of Rain. Will Suffice To Leave Isolated For Sat Since
Moisture Will Still Be Up To 700mb And That Is Being Generous.

When Will All The Muggy Weather Leave? Its Not Going To Be In A
Hurry To Do So. A Very Temporary Ne Breeze Will Fall Across The
Area Tue Night Before South Winds Once Again Take Over Later That
Day. But The Muggies Will Continue. The Only Relief Looks To Be
Outside This Forecast Pack...next Weekend.

Early This Morning There Was A Surface Low Over Eastern Ontario
With A Cold Front Stretching Through The Ohio Valley Into North
Texas. Aloft The Associated Low Was Over Northern Michigan With

Show The Front Moving Through Our Coastal Waters Monday Night/
