SHORT TERM
(Today through Monday night)
Issued at 250 AM CDT Sat Jul 27 2024
A much quieter morning ongoing as we begin the weekend, with area radar showing just a few isolated light showers across parts of SE TX at this time. Aloft, stubborn troughing remains situated to our north/northwest, while ridging is over the E/SE Gulf. The upper trough will finally begin to weaken today, as it eventually lifts northeast and becomes absorbed in a larger trough through the day tomorrow. This will finally signal and end to the persistent, wet pattern we've been experiencing this week however, we'll have to get through today first.
Although another rainy day is expected today, rainfall totals look to be significantly less than the last several days, with QPF values generally less than 1" areawide. CAMs show a much more scattered coverage of convection as well, with a few more breaks in the clouds possible through the afternoon. Regardless, a very moist atmosphere remains in place, with PWATs above the 90th percentile. Therefore, heavy downpours will be possible, especially near the coast where a Flood Watch continues through 1PM. In addition, the entire CWA is outlined in a Marginal Risk for Excessive Rainfall today.
Moving into the second half of the weekend, the upper trough lifts away from the CWA while PWATs gradually fall below 2" through the day tomorrow. Scattered showers will again be possible tomorrow, however, overall coverage and rainfall totals will decrease further, closer to a more typical summertime pattern. By Monday troughing will be well to our north with upper ridging building overhead in its wake. We may see a few isolated to scattered showers Monday afternoon but a much drier pattern is expected to commence. In addition, a return to more seasonal temps is on tap for Monday, with highs in the lower 90s expected areawide.

LONG TERM
(Tuesday through Saturday)
Issued at 250 AM CDT Sat Jul 27 2024
The mid to upper level ridge expected to to be firmly established over the region, allowing for increased temperatures and heat index readings during the period. Morning low temperatures in the lower to mid 70s, with afternoon highs in the low to mid 90s. With dewpoints likely to remain in the mid to even upper 70s at times, maximum heat index values 103 to 108 expected, possibly higher in some locations.
Heat advisories may be needed.
Enough low level moisture, coupled with afternoon heating, will lead to isolated to scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms developing each day, with the best chances over Lower Acadiana. NBM finally trending downward with chances of precipitation, still a bit high for the situation. Continued the trend of 20-40% along the Louisiana I-10 corridor, with less than 20% further north and west.

Areas of dense fog have developed across south-central LA this morning, affecting LFT and ARA. Fog, as well as low ceilings, should gradually lift through the next couple of hours, with VFR conditions then expected at LFT/ARA until the afternoon when rain is expected to arrive. Elsewhere, the next round of rain is on the way from the west/southwest, and should begin to move into BPT/LCH through the next few hours. Reductions in VIS/CIGS are expected as this precip arrives. Some of this convection will spread north to AEX later this morning into this afternoon, but overall impacts should be less there. Precip tapers down once again this evening, giving way to VFR conditions overnight.
