VALID 110529Z - 111030Z

MAINLY LIGHT SNOW/SOME SLEET IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP EASTWARD ACROSS
PORTIONS OF FAR SOUTHEAST TX INTO WESTERN/CENTRAL LA OVERNIGHT.

LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY FEATURES A CLOSED/LOW-LATITUDE UPPER LOW
SHIFTING EASTWARD TOWARD THE SABINE RIVER VICINITY OF FAR SOUTHEAST
TX/SOUTHWEST LA LATE THIS EVENING. UNUSUALLY COLD EARLY-SEASON
THERMAL PROFILES WILL BE CONDUCIVE FOR MAINLY LIGHT SNOW/SOME SLEET
ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST TX INTO WESTERN/CENTRAL LA THROUGH THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS. 05Z OBSERVED SURFACE WET BULB 32F LINE...LOCATED FROM
NEAR LONGVIEW TX SOUTHWARD TO BETWEEN LUFKIN/JASPER TX TO NEAR/WEST
OF BEAUMONT TX...WILL CONTINUE A SLOW BUT STEADY EASTWARD
PROGRESSION INTO WESTERN LA OVERNIGHT AS COLD ADVECTION INCREASES IN
THE WAKE OF THE EASTWARD-SHIFTING UPPER TROUGH. MARGINAL THERMAL
PROFILES/MODEST UVV THROUGH THE ICE BEARING LAYER AND INITIALLY WARM
TERRESTRIAL TEMPERATURES WILL TEND TO KEEP SNOW ACCUMULATIONS LIGHT.
EVEN SO...A GRADUALLY COOLING COLUMN AND A NEARLY ISOTHERMAL LAYER
BETWEEN 1-3 KM...PER RUC FORECAST SOUNDINGS AND OBSERVED ACARS DATA
FROM NEAR HOUSTON...WILL FAVOR BOUTS OF STEADY LIGHT SNOW/SOME SLEET
ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST TX INTO WESTERN/CENTRAL LA THROUGH THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS.
