AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
320 AM CDT FRI OCT 27 2006
.DISCUSSION...
EARLY THIS MORNING THE SURFACE LOW WAS OVER EASTERN OKLAHOMA WITH
A WARM FRONT EXTENDING INTO EAST-CENTRAL LOUISIANA AND THE COLD
FRONT SOUTHWARD ACROSS EAST TEXAS. EXTENSIVE LIGHT TO MODERATE
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO TRAIN ACROSS SOUTHWEST
MISSISSIPPI AND PORTIONS OF EAST-CENTRAL LOUISIANA. THIS IS
LEADING TO SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING...THEREFORE THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH WILL BE CONTINUED THROUGH THIS MORNING. MODELS GENERALLY
AGREE ON PUSHING THE FRONT THROUGH MOST OF THE AREA BY EARLY
AFTERNOON AND THEN THROUGH COASTAL MISSISSIPPI THIS AFTERNOON.
THERE REMAINS ENOUGH INSTABILITY IN THE AREA FOR THE POTENTIAL OF
SOME SEVERE STORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS INTO THE MORNING HOURS.
THANKFULLY WE DONT STILL HAVE THE 603 M2/S2 0-3KM SR HELICITY THAT
WE DID YESTERDAY MORNING AT LIX. THE THREAT OF FLOODING CONTINUES
AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE LATER TODAY. SOME LIGHT SHOWER
ACTIVITY MAY CONTINUE BEHIND THE FRONT THIS AFTERNOON AS THE
UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. BEHIND THIS
SYSTEM...WINDS WILL REMAIN STRONG OUT OF THE NORTHWEST INTO
SATURDAY MORNING AND KEEP SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES IN THE COASTAL
WATERS. THE REST OF THE WEEKEND INTO HALLOWEEN LOOK TO BE FAIRLY
MILD AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES EASTWARD ACROSS THE GULF
COAST. RAIN CHANCES RETURN BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK WITH THE
RETURN FLOW AND A SURFACE LOW DEVELOPING OVER THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO TENNESSEE VALLEY.
