Area forecast discussion, Apr 29, 3:32 PM CDT, 3 hours 55 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAKE CHARLES LA
332 PM CDT SAT APR 29 2006
.UPDATED...LINE OF SEVERE STORMS HAS MOVED OUT OF
SOUTHEAST TEXAS LEAVING BEHIND STABLE CONDITIONS.
THEREFORE...THE TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOR
ALL OF LAKE CHARLES SOUTHEAST TEXAS COUNTY WARNING
AREA. THE FORECAST HAS BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT THIS.
.SYNOPSIS...
COLD FRONT ON THE MOVE AFTER MAKING LITTLE PROGRESS
EASTWARD FOR MOST OF THE MORNING HOURS. THE FRONT
WAS CURRENTLY LOCATED FROM EAST OF DALLAS TO WACO TO NEAR
AUSTIN. AHEAD OF THE FRONT...A TIGHT WIND GRADIENT MADE FOR A
WINDY AFTERNOON ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. A LINE OF SEVERE STORMS
PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS, HAIL, FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND A FEW
TORNADOES WAS MOVING THROUGH EXTREME SOUTHWEST LA FROM FORT
POLK...TO LAKE CHARLES TO CAMERON.
THIS LINE SHOULD CONTINUE TO PROGRESS EASTWARD TRIGGERING MORE
SEVERE WEATHER AS IT MOVES THROUGH LA. A TORNADO WATCH HAS BEEN
ISSUED THRU 9 PM FOR MOST OF THE AREA EXCEPT THE EXTREME
NORTHWEST PART OF OUR COUNTY WARNING AREA.
.DISCUSSION...
RAIN WILL CLEAR OVERNIGHT FROM WEST TO EAST WITH RAIN LATE THIS AFTERNOON
OVER SOUTHEAST TEXAS, 8 PM FOR MOST OF SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA AMD 4
AM FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTREME EAST AND SOUTH CENTRAL PART OF
LOUISIANA.
AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE WINDS WILL BE NORTHERLY FOR SUNDAY, BUT
SHIFT RATHER QUICKLY BY SUNDAY NIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS
AGAIN ACROSS THE OKLAHOMA REGION. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BASICALLY
HOLD AS A NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES THROUGH MOST OF NEXT
WEEK. A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES LATE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL ALLOW
FOR A RETURN OF RAIN CHANCES AS THE NEXT COLD FRONT APPROACHES THE
REGION ON FRIDAY.
&&
.AVIATION...IFR CONDITIONS ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS WILL GIVE WAY
TO MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. OVER SOUTHWEST
LA, IFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE BEFORE AND A FEW HOURS AFTER THE
RAINS HAVE LEFT THE AREA. MVFR CONDITIONS MAY RETURN TOWARDS
MORNING ALL AREAS AS A MOIST GROUND, CLEARING SKIES, AND LIGHT WINDS
HELP CREATE POCKETS OF FOG.
&&
.MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADIVSORY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE AS STRONG
SOUTHERLY FLOW HELP KEEP UP WINDS AND SEAS. CONVECTION MOVING ACROSS
THE COASTAL WATERS WILL ALSO HELP TO ENFORCE THESE CONDITIONS. SEAS
AND WINDS WILL BEGIN TO ABATE TOWARDS MORNING WELL AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE.
