NWS Forecaster Discussion
817 fxus64 kshv 212107 afdshv Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Shreveport la 307 PM CST Sat Nov 21 2009 Discussion... large slow moving upper level low pressure system over the Louisiana Gulf Coast will continue to drift slowly east to the Alabama area by Sunday afternoon. Rainfall will continue into the evening over the central Louisiana zones...including the north central Louisiana area near Monroe...as moisture wraps around the low pressure system up into Louisiana. Late tonight rain should gradually taper off from west to east...as the whole system moves east. The period of Sunday and Monday look to be dry in between systems. The next possible rain maker will be a cold front that will move through the four state area Monday night and Tuesday. This probably wont be as efficient a rain maker as this past upper low system that moved along the Gulf Coast. The front wont have as much moisture to work with Monday night and Tuesday...but it will probably produce a narrow line of showers and thunderstorms sometime late Monday night and/or Tuesday morning as the front moves through the area. Late next week looks to be dry although a fairly strong reinforcing cold front will move through the four state area around Wednesday night. Looks to be rather chilly for Thanksgiving and the end of next week. && Aviation... surface low out over the Gulf is offshore south of klft and slowly moving eastward. The upper low is over klch. Moisture wrapping around the low is mostly in the middle levels over our County Warning Area with VFR continuing for all but klfk where MVFR is lingering. Ceilings are dropping a bit in the wake of the low...but will keep VFR this PM...but cant rule out IFR/MVFR for a couple or few terminals overnight. Surface winds are light north/NE for our terminals and will keep less than 10 kts for this taf cycle. Look for the rain clouds to exit eastern sections this evening as the low moves out...but IFR ceilings/visibility may develop generally along and south of I-20 overnight and for early daylight on Sunday as the winds slack. Improvements by lunch as weak 1017 mb high pressure builds in over Texas. /24/ && Preliminary point temps/pops... shv 48 65 45 71 52 / 30 0 0 10 20 mlu 49 63 44 69 48 / 60 10 0 10 20 deq 44 66 43 69 47 / 20 0 0 10 30 txk 48 65 44 69 50 / 20 0 0 10 30 eld 47 63 42 69 50 / 40 0 0 10 20 tyr 46 67 47 72 52 / 10 0 0 10 20 ggg 46 67 45 73 50 / 10 0 0 10 20 lfk 48 68 45 74 52 / 30 0 0 10 20 && Shv watches/warnings/advisories...
