.DISCUSSION...
A VERY MOIST AIR MASS AND AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL
COMBINE FOR A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY.
THE BEST CHANCE WILL BE SOUTHEAST OF A LINE FROM OPELOUSAS
TO LAKE CHARLES. ANOTHER ONE HALF TO POSSIBLY ONE INCH OF
RAINFALL CAN BE EXPECTED IN THESE AREA. MEANWHILE..THE REMAINDER
OF THE AREA WILL SEE AROUND ONE QUARTER OF AN INCH OR LESS.

THE DEEP MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO MOVE EAST OF THE REGION ON FRIDAY
LOWERING RAIN CHANCES. BY THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD BACK INTO THE AREA...LIMITING
ANY SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL AND CREATING HOT DAYTIME TEMPERATURES.

A REMINDER...BURN BANS REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS
AND LOUISIANA.
