NWS Forecaster Discussion
241 fxus64 kshv 130924 afdshv Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Shreveport la 424 am CDT Monday Oct 13 2008 Discussion... closed low over Utah will begin to shear out and briefly take on a long wave character...with flow becoming more zonal in middle latitudes by middle week. Cold front currently over western Kansas and OK Panhandle...is a sharp boundary with north winds gusting to near 30 kts...and T/dew point gradients approaching 20 degrees. As this upper low opens up...most of the cold air will scoot off to east...with only weakening remnants of tail of front affecting area later in the week. In the meantime..upper high will drop south into Georgia...with East Texas in the outer rim of high...where deep southeast flow will bring decent moisture wrapping around from Gulf...and also interact with before mentioned portion of cold front. Should see a mix of convective and stratiform precipitation with this system and tried to reflect with mix of showers and embedded thunderstorms in grids. Slightly more aggressive NAM probably performing better in early season shallow cold air intrusions. Will push front through Wednesday night or early Thursday...tapering off probability of precipitation...which for now have left in chance category. Possible to have greater coverage...but with diminishing dynamics and elevated nature of convection...do not expect too much in way of heavy rain...or much at all in way of severe./Vii/ && Aviation... closed upper low continues to spin eastward over The Rockies this am. Ample moisture continues to be pumped into the four state region by east-southeasterly surface winds...as the region is being squeezed between the low to the west and the ridge to the east. Guidance/observation continue to indicate MVFR with isld IFR stratus developing across the entire region this morning. Also...some reductions in visibilities to MVFR may be possible by around 10z-12z. Ceilings/visibilities should return to VFR by around 15z-17z. Broken cumulus field will hold through most of the daylight hours...finally scattering out sometime after sunset. During the overnight Monday and early morning Tuesday...conditions will be similar to this morning. Winds throughout the period will remain out of the east-southeast at 10 to 15 knots during the day...and 3 to 8 knots at night after de-coupling./12/ && Preliminary point temps/pops... shv 85 67 82 67 81 / 10 20 20 20 40 mlu 83 65 84 64 81 / 10 10 20 20 40 deq 80 64 81 63 75 / 10 10 40 40 50 txk 83 65 81 66 79 / 10 10 30 30 50 eld 82 65 82 66 81 / 10 10 20 20 40 tyr 86 68 81 67 79 / 10 20 30 30 40 ggg 85 67 81 66 80 / 10 20 30 30 40 lfk 87 68 81 68 81 / 20 30 30 30 30 && Shv watches/warnings/advisories...
