Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Shreveport la 
335 am CDT Sat Jul 5 2008 


Discussion... 


Summertime pattern with 500 mb high pressure and a touch of humidity 
that will result in diurnal convection for the next several days. 
A middle week disturbance in around the northern edge of the ridge 
will increase convection somewhat...going 30 percent northwest on 
Wednesday and northern third on Thursday. Then the ridge resumes 
control and shuts down most convection for the very late week.

Aviation... 


Surface observations indicate VFR conditions across most of the 
forecast region...with the exception of deq which is experiencing 
IFR conditions due to fog. Expect that this fog is only an isolated 
occurrence...but a few locations will experience reduction in 
visibility this morning to the 3sm to 5sm range due to misty 
conditions. Cloud cover across much of the region should act to 
limit visibility reduction around sunrise. Expect another round of 
spotty convection this afternoon and evening as a frontal boundary 
is positioned to the north of the forecast region...and seabreeze 
activity affects the southern airports. /18/
