.UPDATE...
Issued at 1048 AM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024

Very diffuse frontal boundary late this morning is slowly
backdooring itself southward across Northern Louisiana and Deep
East Texas attm. Latest progs confirm that this boundary will
continue its slow southward drift through the day and may be a sfc
trigger for isolated showers/storms across our far southern zones
later today. Further north, going to hold onto slight chance pops
as well as latest CAMS and HRRR suggests that we could see some 
post frontal development and this is certainly possible given the 
fact that the 850mb boundary remains north of our region attm. All
this to say no changes to the pop forecast for the remainder of 
the day. 

Did however raise temps slightly across the I-20 Corridor of N LA
as 15z temps were within a couple degrees of forecast highs even
through the frontal boundary drifting southward should slow the 
warming trend. All other areas are in the ballpark so no
additional changes were necessary.
