...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1041 AM CST Sat Dec 7 2024

Model guidance has struggled to resolve the extent of coverage of
this morning`s showers, thus revised PoP and wx grids to account
for the progression of rainfall across deep east Texas. These
showers- which may become moderately heavy at times- look to
continue into the early afternoon with a possible brief break for
some sites, with a secondary round of rainfall to follow, trekking
up from the southwest by mid to late afternoon. Based on
temperature tends this morning, modified this aftenroon`s maxT`s
slightly, nudging down values along the I-49 corridor, while
incorporating short range guidance allowing for additional warming
into southwest Arkansas before clouds fill in and rainfall
commences. Ingested the most recent several hours worth of
temperature and dew point observations and interpolated through to
00Z.

.SHORT TERM...
(Saturday through Sunday)
Issued at 352 AM CST Sat Dec 7 2024

Slightly milder conditions will continue their return across the
Four State Region through the weekend. This is due to surface high
pressure shifting gradually eastward across the Mississippi
River, introducing more southerly winds across the area by
tomorrow. Until then, surface winds will remain slackened to calm
today, with cloud cover moderating temperature maximums into the
mid-50s. A mid-level disturbance embedded in southwesterly flow
aloft ahead of troughing exiting the southern Intermountain West
will boost precipitation chances starting tonight and picking up
in coverage as showers through tomorrow night. Temperature
maximums/minimums will be moderated higher into the low-to-mid 60s/upper
40s as a result by tomorrow. /16/

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday Night through Saturday)
Issued at 352 AM CST Sat Dec 7 2024

Active and warmer weather precedes the next frontal boundary
arriving next week across the Four State Region. This is due to
the temporal build-up of moisture from troughing and southerly
flow now into early next week, boosting temperature maximums into
the 70s before the frontal passage is expected by Tuesday.
Precipitation chances will last through Tuesday with additional
rainfall totals ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 inches in a gradient into
eastern Louisiana. Drier post-frontal conditions will involve
clearer skies by the middle of next week with temperatures later
rebounding to near-normal once again for this time of the year
(lower 60s/lower 40s). /16/

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 530 AM CST Sat Dec 7 2024

For the 07/12z TAFS...Light rain continues to move across our East
Texas sites and portions of Central Louisiana this morning.
However, VFR conditions remain across the region. Models suggest
this rainfall will rapidly diminish this morning, but rain chances
will return from west to east during the afternoon and evening
hours as a warm front lifts northward into the region. Expect
reduced flight categories as clouds will lower across the region
during the later half of the TAF period along with reduced vsybs
from rainfall. /20/
