National Weather Service Shreveport LA 1025 AM CDT Sat Apr 20 2024 ...New UPDATE... .UPDATE... Issued at 1016 AM CDT Sat Apr 20 2024 Huge uptick in convection across our northwest half this morning as isentropic forcing much earlier this morning is now being supplemented with large scale forcing well in advance of an upper level trough still upstream of the Texas Hill Country. While low level instability is of no concern given the relatively cool post frontal temperatures currently in place, elevated MUCAPE values between 500-1000 J/KG are combining with 7-7.5 deg/km mid-level lapse rates and near 40kts of Deep Layer Bulk Shear to produce organized convection near and northwest of the I-30 Corridor already this morning with a few severe thunderstorm warnings becoming necessary for large hail. These storm will remain elevated today and thus, it appears that large hail will continue to be the main threats with any severe convection but at least small hail (pea to dime size) will be common with the stronger convection for the remainder of the day and into at least the evening hours. For the update, expanded categorical pops a little further north and east through the remainder of the daytime hours to mimic current trends and latest HRRR data but did keep our southeast zones in high chance pops only as the more widespread rainfall will likely not begin impacting these areas until this evening and overnight. Did make some temperature changes as our northern and northwest zones have likely already reached their high temperatures for the day and the same can be said for areas to the northeast as this large mass of precipitation moves east through the day. Updated forecast package already sent...13.
