SHORT TERM
(Today through Tuesday night)
Issued at 325 AM CDT Sun May 5 2024
A broken line of convection has developed across the region this morning in what will be the first wave of convection associated with another upper level disturbance traversing the region today.
CAMS guidance was actually quite consistent in the development of this activity and continues to be in good agreement on another MCS pushing through the area later today. With most of the region still very saturated from rainfall over the last several days, southeast Texas and parts of western Louisiana are particularly susceptible to flash flooding resulting from high rainfall rates.
No changes were made to the inherited Flash Flood Watch this morning that covers Southeast Texas and a Flash Flood Warning has already been issued for Tyler county due to the heavy rain already observed. Away from the convection, areas of light fog have again developed this morning thanks to light winds and very wet soils.
The MCS is expected to clear the area by early this evening with precip largely ending by sunset. Surface winds overnight will be marginally light enough for the development of some patchy fog.
Monday is looking somewhat drier. However, another weak disturbance is being picked up by most guidance and while this one isn't nearly as strong as the one moving across the region today, it looks like it will have enough moisture with it to initialize isolated to widely scattered afternoon convection tomorrow.
Some drier air and zonal flow aloft will finally offer a break from convection Tuesday with afternoon highs climbing into the mid to upper 80s beneath the clearer skies.

LONG TERM
(Wednesday through Sunday)
Issued at 325 AM CDT Sun May 5 2024
The warming trend continues into Wednesday with afternoon highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s across the region which will yield apparent temperatures close to 100 across parts of central Louisiana and interior parts of Southeast Texas. The next, thankfully low, chance of rain looks to come Thursday into Thursday night with the passage of a late season cold front that looks to bring some noticeably cooler, drier air by next weekend.
Long range temperatures have lows down into the mid 50s across central Louisiana and lower 60s to just off the immediate coastline. This may be our last gasp of spring before the notorious gulf coast summer kicks into high gear.

Earlier VFR is transitioning to MVFR/IFR, mainly for SETX/SW LA, but will expand area wide into the early morning hours. As we move into the early morning hours, chances for showers/storms increase from west to east as well. Expect further reduction in CIGs /VSBYs under heavier showers/storms.
There remains some uncertainty as to when activity will decrease, but current thinking is by early Sunday evening for most locales.
