Areas affected...Southeast TX...Much of Western & Central LA...Far
Southwest MS...
Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible
Valid 260210Z - 260800Z
SUMMARY...Expanding convective lines to merge/converge with some
internal cell training/repeating expected.  Uptick in moisture
flux will increase rainfall efficiency and support up to 2"/hr
rates.  SW to NE swath of 2-4" totals may result in scattered
incidents of flash flooding overnight.
DISCUSSION...GOES-E WV suite shows broad, symmetric and well
defined closed low dominating the Southern Plains encroaching on
the Lower Mississippi River Valley as the lead height-falls has
pressed through into MS toward W AL.  The secondary/wrap around
energy and core of the upper-low is currently tracking along the
Red River with another internal jet streak and associated
upper-level divergence and DPVA for broad scale ascent across the
southeast quadrant of the circulation across E TX into LA.  EIR
loop shows scattered overshooting tops along a west to east axis
of convergence along a pre-frontal trough dropping southeast
becoming more orientated to the deeper layer southwesterly
steering flow.  However, the favorable ascent pattern has positive
influence across much of SE TX into LA, where low level cu-field
noted in 3.9um and regional RADAR mosaic are showing developing
narrow cored thunderstorms broadly from the central TX coast into
central LA ahead of the main line.
RAP/CIRA LPW analysis denotes core of higher theta-E air and
moisture values of .75-1" in the surface to 850mb layer across the
TX Coastal Plain into SW LA and up the MS River to near the AR
border. Highest buoyancy air also tends to reside closer to the
coastal region with MLCAPE up to 1500 J/kg along and downstream of
the main line.  As such, additional downstream cells are
expanding/developing in the next few hours with broad LLJ over the
Western Gulf becoming increasingly confluent increasing overall
convergence for expanding convective development.  In addition,
this flux of 1.5-1.8" total PWats (mainly below 700mb) and LLJ
ramping up to 25-30kts over the next few hours will support
broadening updrafts capable of 2"/hr.  As the DPVA further drops
southeast, orientation of broader SW to NE wedge of convective
complex will support embedded northeast motions for short-term training/repeating as the overall propagation is steadily
east-southeast.   Prolonged moderate rainfall with these embedded
strongest bursts should allow for a broader area of 2"+ rainfall
with localized totals of 4"+ through 09z with best probabilities
located from SW to central LA pushing toward SW MS toward the end
of the period.=20
Of note toward the end of the valid time (, the surface warm front
along the MS is likely to be steepened through depth as the
strength of the easterly flow across the Tennessee Valley and
central AL undercuts and increases FGEN/ascent plane for
isentropic development.
Hydrologically, the area has been relatively dry though this
morning's initial convective line has moistened up some of the
upper soil columns for greater infiltration and naturally higher
FFG due to sandier profiles ( 2-3"/hr and 3-4.5"/3hrs), should
help to limit flooding potential.  However, scattered to widely
scattered flash flooding will remain possible, especially in/near
prone urban centers.
