.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 949 PM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024

No significant adjustments were made to the overnight forecast for
this near term update with rainfall chances expected to increase
from the west toward daybreak. Confidence is increasing for a 
west-east axis of heavy rainfall this weekend and will be 
monitoring for a localized flash flooding threat. Precipitable 
water up to 1.75 inches and persistent frontal forcing along the 
I-20 corridor should fuel heavier convective rainfall, and the 
biggest concern may exist for portions of northeast LA into 
southeast AR where heavy rain fell just recently. /EC/
