AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAKE CHARLES LA
1003 PM CDT TUE SEP 2 2008

.UPDATE...
VERY BUSY EVENING ASSOCIATED WITH THE SOUTHERN RAINBANDS OF T.D.
GUSTAV...SPINNING AND MOVING VERY SLOWLY OVER THE ARKLATEX REGION.
MANY RADAR INDICATED AND NOW CONFIRMED TORNADOES EARLIER THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER ALLEN...EVANGELINE...SE RAPIDES...AND
AVOYELLES PARISHES...AND NOW HAS TURNED INTO A FLASH FLOOD EVENT
FOR THE SAME AREA. HAVE ALREADY UPDATED FORECAST AND GRIDS. THIS
FOCUS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS IT
SEEMS...AND WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 5
TO 10 INCHES WITH JUST THIS FEEDERBAND EVENT THIS EVENING...WHICH
HAPPENED OVER IBERIA PARISH EARLIER TODAY.

FOR THE MARINE FORECAST...RAISED THE WINDS AND SEAS A BIT HIGHER
TO ACCOUNT FOR EXCELLENT INFLOW INTO THIS SYSTEM...WITH CALCASIEU
PASS, LA (CAMERON) REPORTING SUSTAINED WINDS OF 25-28 KTS WITH
GUSTS OVER 30 KTS FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS. OTHER LOCATIONS
NOT RECEIVING QUITE THAT HIGH WINDS...BUT STILL NEAR 20 KTS TO
CONTINUE THE SCA

DML

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 317 PM CDT TUE SEP 2 2008/

DISCUSSION...

TROPICAL DEPRESSION GUSTAV CONTINUES TO SPIN JUST NORTH OF SHV
WITH NUMEROUS RAIN BANDS AROUND THE CIRCULATION EXTENDING SOUTH
INTO THE CWA. TWO PARTICULARLY HEAVY RAIN BANDS HAVE AFFECTED
CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA FOR MUCH OF THE DAY...WITH
FLASH FLOODING REPORTED IN SOME AREAS. HAVE EXTENDED THE FLASH
FLOOD WATCH THROUGH TOMORROW AS MODELS INDICATE RAIN BANDS WILL
CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE AREA AT LEAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING.
KEEPING HIGHEST POPS EAST OF THE I-49 CORRIDOR BUT HAVE LOWER POPS
OVER THE SOUTHWEST ZONES WHERE DRIER SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL PREVAIL.
CIRCULATION OF GUSTAV IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY MOVE NORTHEAST INTO
THE WESTERLIES OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...WITH PRECIP CHANCES SLOWLY
DECREASING INTO THE WEEKEND AND A SUBSEQUENT WARMING TREND. LOOKS
LIKE AREA MAY GET TO DRY OUT OVER THE WEEKEND AS DRIER AIR FILTERS
INTO THE CWA FROM THE NORTH. PARADE OF TROPICAL CYCLONES
CONTINUES OVER THE ATLANTIC WITH HANNA...IKE...AND JOSEPHINE ALL
OUT THERE. AT THIS TIME ONLY IKE APPEARS TO HAVE SOME POTENTIAL TO
MOVE INTO THE GULF...SO WILL BE KEEPING CLOSEST EYES ON HIM.

AVIATION...

WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY AT ALL TERMINALS WITH WIND GUSTS OF 20 TO
30 KNOTS POSSIBLE THROUGH 00Z. RAINBANDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
REMNANTS OF GUSTAV WILL MAINLY AFFECT KAEX...KLFY...AND KARA WHERE
HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH WEDNESDAY.  VFR CONDITIONS
WILL PREVAIL AT KBPT AND KLCH WITH ONLY SOME ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHRA POSSIBLE.

MARINE...

WINDS REMAIN QUITE GUSTY OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON WITH
GUSTS OVER 30 KNOTS NOTED AT TIMES. SEAS ALSO REMAIN HIGH DUE TO
THE STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW AND LINGERING EFFECTS OF GUSTAV. HAVE
LEFT INHERITED SCA AS IS.  BOTH WINDS AND SEAS SHOULD SLOWLY
SUBSIDE THROUGH THE WEEK AS GUSTAV MOVES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST.
