NWS Forecaster Discussion
974 fxus64 kshv 061942 afdshv Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Shreveport la 242 PM CDT Sat Sep 6 2008 Discussion... cloud remnants of Gustav just exiting eastern portions of area... with some leftover cloud debris...mainly extreme north...closer to southern edge of seasonally strong westerlies aloft. Dewpoints mainly in lower 60s...and with decent radiation cooling conditions...should see lows falling to middle 60s tonight. Cool front will move to northen OK by Monday afternoon. Expect mostly isolated afternoon convection under increasing instability and precipitable waters near 2 inches. The actual front should induce scattered convection... later Monday night into Tuesday. Dominating northerly flow and drier air therafter so removed probability of precipitation remainder of week. Added isolated for weekend...to account for a possible brush with Hurricane Ike. European model (ecmwf) will take it into south Texas...which may be too far south of area to affect our weather if solution holds. However...some other tracks suggest a closer approach./Vii/ && Aviation... VFR conditions area wide...except patchy MVFR visibilities in fog around sunrise. Light NE winds to continue through this evening...but gradually becoming southeast across most of East Texas and western Louisiana by 12z Sunday. /14/ && Preliminary point temps/pops... shv 65 90 69 92 72 / 0 0 10 20 30 mlu 62 88 68 92 71 / 0 0 10 30 30 deq 60 89 64 92 68 / 0 0 10 20 30 txk 64 90 68 92 71 / 0 0 10 20 30 eld 61 88 67 92 70 / 0 0 10 20 30 tyr 66 90 70 92 72 / 0 0 10 20 30 ggg 65 90 69 92 72 / 0 0 10 20 30 lfk 66 91 71 93 72 / 0 0 10 30 30 && Shv watches/warnings/advisories...
