AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAKE CHARLES LA
1148 PM CDT SAT AUG 30 2008

.UPDATE...
MAIN UPDATE PACKAGE CONSISTED OF UPDATING THE WINDS FOR THE TRACK
OF GUSTAV...SHIFTED A BIT FURTHER EAST...BUT STILL WILL HAVE A
DEVASTATING IMPACT TO MOST OF LOUISIANA. OTHERWISE...TEMPS AND
PRECIP FIELDS LOOK GOOD. UPDATES ALREADY SENT.

DML

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 453 PM CDT SAT AUG 30 2008/

DISCUSSION...
CONCERN FOR THIS FORECAST PACKAGE IS HURRICANE GUSTAV...WHICH WAS
RECENTLY UPGRADED TO CATEGORY 4 ON THE SAFFIR-SIMPSON SCALE WITH
WINDS OF 145 MPH. THE EYE OF GUSTAV IS APPROACHING THE WESTERN END
OF CUBA AND SHOULD BE ENTERING THE SOUTHEASTERN GULF OF MEXICO BY
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.

OVER THE SHORT TERM...THROUGH SUNDAY...DRY HOT CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL AS THE REGION OF SUBSIDENCE AROUND THE NWRN EDGE OF THE
STORM TRAVERSES THE AREA IN ADVANCE OF IT. BY LATE SUNDAY
NIGHT...TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS WILL BE AFFECTING OUR FAR
SOUTHEASTERN COASTAL WATERS SOUTH OF THE LOWER ATCHAFALAYA RIVER.

CONDITIONS TO DETERIORATE DURING THE DAY MONDAY AS RAINBANDS AND
WINDS STRENGTHENING TO TROPICAL STORM THEN HURRICANE FORCE OVERSPREAD
THE CWA. THE HURRICANE IS FORECAST TO MAKE LANDFALL NEAR OR JUST
EAST OF VERMILION BAY BY LATE MONDAY. WHERE THE STRONGEST WINDS
OCCUR DEPENDS ON THE ULTIMATE TRACK OF THE STORM...BUT AS OF
NOW...THIS LOOKS TO BE OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CWA. ANOTHER
FACTOR TO CONSIDER WILL BE THE FORWARD SPEED OF THE STORM...WHICH
WAS EARLIER FORECAST TO SLOW SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE AREA BUT NOW
LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT MOVE A LITTLE QUICKER. EITHER WAY...IT APPEARS
THAT GUSTAV WILL BE AFFECTING THE AREA THROUGH LATE TUESDAY OR EARLY
WEDNESDAY.

BEYOND THIS TIME FRAME...MODELS DIFFER ON SOLUTIONS. ECMWF IS
TRYING TO MOVE THE STORM NORTHWARD AND AWAY FROM THE AREA WHILE
THE GFS IS KEEPING THE REMNANT LOW NEAR NE TX. AT THIS TIME...MADE
NO CHANGES TO INHERITED GRIDS FROM THURSDAY MORNING ON UNTIL
CONFIDENCE INCREASES ONCE MODELS START TO REACH MORE OF A CONSENSUS.

AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH TOMORROW. SOME PATCHY
LIGHT FOG IS POSSIBLE DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS.
OTHERWISE...ONLY SOME HIGH CIRRUS TO START MOVING INTO THE AREA
DUE TO UPPER LEVEL OUTFLOW FROM HURRICANE GUSTAV DURING THE DAY
TOMORROW.

MARINE...
LIGHT EAST AND SOUTHEAST WINDS AND LOW SEAS WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT.
WINDS AND SEAS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE SOME ON SUNDAY WITH WINDS
OF UP TO 20 KNOTS AND SEAS UP TO 5 FEET...ESPECIALLY OVER THE
EASTERN COASTAL WATERS. CONDITIONS TO DETERIORATE LATE SUNDAY
NIGHT AND TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH THE
OUTER COASTAL WATERS BETWEEN INTRACOASTAL CITY AND THE LOWER
ATCHAFALAYA RIVER BY VERY EARLY MONDAY MORNING...WITH WINDS
INCREASING DURING THE DAY AS THE STORM APPROACHES THE COAST.
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO LINGER THROUGH TUESDAY
NIGHT WITH CONDITIONS IMPROVING DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.
