AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAKE CHARLES LA
115 PM CDT SUN AUG 3 2008
.UPDATE...SPC SVR TSTM WATCH #801 VALID UNTIL 8 PM FOR ALL EXCEPT
LOWER ACADIANA. LAFAYETTE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS WATCH. WILL BE
ISSUING ZONE UPDATE SHORTLY.
&&
.DISCUSSION...DESCENDING SUBTROPICAL JET HAS MOST OF THE AREA IN A
FAVORABLE LEFT FRONT QUADRANT OR EXIT REGION. THIS AGEOSTROPHIC
FLOW WILL ADD LIFT TO COVECTION ALREADY UNDERWAY AND MOVING INTO
CENTRAL LOUISIANA AND THE LAKES AREA OF SE TX. STORMS WILL MOVE
SW. WET MICROBURSTS ARE THE PRIMARY HAZARD.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1132 AM CDT SUN AUG 3 2008/
UPDATE...ISSUED A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR INCREASING WINDS OVER
THE COASTAL WATERS EAST OF CAMERON BEGINNING MONDAY MORNING. THIS
IS IN RESPONSE TO WHAT IS NOW A TROPICAL LOW WHICH WILL MOVE
ACROSS OUR COASTAL WATERS MONDAY INTO TUESDAY.
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1024 AM CDT SUN AUG 3 2008/
UPDATE...ADJUSTED POPS UPWARD FOR INTERIOR SE TX AND WESTERN
PORTIONS OF CEN LA AS WELL AS S CEN LA. TWEAKED TEMPS UPWARD FOR
ALL EXCEPT CEN LA WHERE I LOWERED TEMPS A BIT FOR ALEXANDRIA.
DISCUSSION...THE RAPIDLY MOVING THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX HAS PROGRESSED
SOUTHEAST INTO THE COASTAL WATERS WHERE IT IS WEAKENING. NOTED
THETA RIDGING PERSISTING FROM LAST NIGHT AS WELL AS THE AREA UNDER
A LEFT FRONT QUADRANT OF A DESCENDING SUBTROPICAL JETLET (LEFT
EXIT REGION). FORECAST SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO MAX OUT ON
INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE BUT SINCE CONVECTIVE TEMPS ARE SO HIGH
(98) AND AIRMASS HAS BEEN WORKED OVER (MUCH CLUTTER ON THE RADAR),
WILL CHOOSE TO INITIATE AFTERNOON TSTMS LATE AROUND 19Z (2 PM).
A TROPICAL DISTURBANCE STATEMENT OUT OF TPC NOW SHOWS AN AREA OF
LOW PRESSURE HAS FORMED ABOUT 150 MILES SOUTH OF PENSACOLA.
CONDITIONS ARE MARGINALLY FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT. AN AIR FORCE
RESERVE ACFT WILL BE INVESTIGATING. TEXAS AND WESTERN LA COASTS
REMAIN IN PLAY FOR SOME KIND OF LANDFALL EARLY TUESDAY. ONLY
CONFIDENCE AT THIS TIME IS FOR INCREASING PRECIP AND TIDES WITH
WINDS TO SCA CRITERIA FOR THE COASTAL WATERS. STAY TUNED.
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 549 AM CDT SUN AUG 3 2008/
DISCUSSION...PLATE QUITE FULL THIS MORNING WITH DECAYING MCS
RACING SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE AREA...GENERATING NUMEROUS REPORTS OF
40 TO 45 MPH WINDS. WORST OF THIS WEATHER WILL BE WELL INTO THE
COASTAL WATERS BY THE START OF MY FIRST PERIOD...SO HAVE UTILIZED
PRE-FIRST PERIOD WORDING IN THE ZFP FOR THE EARLY RISERS.
ONE QUESTION FOR TODAY IS WHAT IMPACT THIS SYSTEM HAS ON AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES...DEWPOINTS...AND THUS HEAT INDEX VALUES. BIT OF A
CONUNDRUM HERE AS THE RECENTLY RAINED UPON GROUND MAY HELP HOLD
TEMPERATURES DOWN...WHILE INCREASING THE DEWPOINTS AND THUS
RESULTING IN HIGHER HEAT INDICES. BASIC THINKING IS THAT WITH THE
EARLY MORNING PASSAGE...CLOUDS OVER NORTHEAST ZONES WILL HAVE
SUFFICIENT OPPORTUNITY TO CLEAR OUT...AND HAVE CONTINUED WILL AOA
100 DEGREE READINGS FOR AFTERNOON HIGHS. SOUTHWEST ZONES WILL
CONTEND WITH THE LINGERING CLOUD COVER LONGER...SO HAVE CUT UNDER
YESTERDAYS MAX READINGS BY A COUPLE OF DEGREES. AS FOR SFC
DEWPOINTS...WE WILL CERTAINLY BE STARTING OFF THE DAY WITH LOWER
READINGS THANKS TO THE MCS...BUT AGAIN...THEIR BEHAVIOR BY
AFTERNOON WILL BE CRUCIAL IN DETERMINING WHETHER A HEAT ADVISORY
IS WARRANTED...AND THE DAYSHIFT WILL BE IN A BETTER POSITION TO
SEE HOW ALL OF THESE PARAMETERS EVOLVE THROUGH THE DAY.
ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. NAM...4KM WRF...AND ECMWF
SUGGEST ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS VORT LOBE
ROUNDS THE RIDGE LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. HAVE INCREASED POPS
TO A CHANCE FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT.
REGARDING THE AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL
GULF. WHETHER...AND HOW MUCH...THIS SYSTEM DEVELOPS FROM A
TROPICAL STAND POINT IS STILL UNCERTAIN. THE ENVIRONMENT IS AT
BEST MARGINALLY FAVORABLE ATM...BUT IS FORECAST TO IMPROVE SOME
OVER THE NEXT 24 HRS. AGAIN...THERE WILL BE A SMALL SPATIAL AND
TEMPORAL WINDOW FOR SOMETHING TO ORGANIZE...THOUGH THE UPPER
ENVIRONMENT NEVER BECOMES IDEAL. OVERALL PICTURE IS FOR WHATEVER
IS THERE...BE IT A TROUGH OR SOMETHING MORE SIGNIFICANT...TO TRACK
GENERALLY WWD TOWARD THE TX COAST OVER THE NEXT 48 TO 60 HRS.
CONTINUED TO SHOW NEAR SCA CRITERIA WINDS AND SEAS OVER THE
COASTAL WATERS...AND RAMPED UP RAIN CHANCES MONDAY AND TUESDAY.
LITTLE TO NO CHANGE MADE TO EXTENDED FORECAST.
AVIATION...DECAYING TSTM COMPLEX NEARING KBPT...WHICH WILL
RESULT IN TEMPO MVFR AND WIND GUSTS NEAR 40KT FROM 10Z TO 12Z.
VCTS FOR ANOTHER HR OR SO AT KLCH...WITH LINGERING -RA AT KLFT AND
KARA...WILL GIVE WAY TO VFR LATER THIS MORNING. KAEX...VFR
EXPECTED TO PREVAIL.
MARINE...LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING INTO THE
COASTAL WATERS WILL RESULT IN WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 40 KTS THIS
MORNING. OTHERWISE...LIGHT TO MODEST WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL PREVAIL
THROUGH THE REST OF TODAY. LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPMENT OVER THE
NORTH-CENTRAL GULF WITH A SUBSEQUENT WESTWARD MOTION MAY RESULT IN
HIGHER WINDS AND SEAS ON MONDAY...WHICH WOULD LAST THROUGH AT
LEAST TUESDAY NIGHT. MARINERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONTINUE TO
MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS DURING THIS DEVELOPING WEATHER
SITUATION.
