Area forecast discussion, Sep 1, 4:53 PM CDT, 3 hours 20 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAKE CHARLES LA
453 PM CDT MON SEP 1 2008

.DISCUSSION...AT PRESS TIME WEAKENING HURRICANE GUSTAV WAS LOCATED
NEAR OPELOUSAS WHILE MOVING NW TO NNW AT 14 KT. LATEST NHC TRACK
WAS ADJUSTED A LITTLE TO THE RIGHT WITH THE SLIGHTLY MORE NWD
MOTION THIS AFTERNOON. LATEST FORECAST CONTINUES TO TAKE THE
CENTER OF CIRCULATION ACROSS THE NERN AND N-CNTL ZONES THROUGH
THIS EVENING BEFORE MOVING OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA AFTER
MIDNIGHT. SPIRAL BANDS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO
SPREAD WNWWD...WHILE MAINLY LIGHT RAIN WILL LINGER BEHIND THE
STORM OVER LOWER ACADIANA. SPC HAS ISSUED A TORNADO WATCH FOR THE
NERN ZONES THROUGH MIDNIGHT FOR POSSIBLE TORNADIC DEVELOPMENT NEAR
THE CENTER OF CIRCULATION. ALL GUSTAV-RELATED WARNINGS AND
WATCHES OVER LAND WERE LEFT UNCHANGED WITH THIS PACKAGE...WHILE
AFTER COORDINATING WITH NHC IT WAS DECIDED TO LOWER THE HURRICANE
WARNING WEST OF CAMERON. HURRICANE CONDITIONS LOOK MINIMAL AT BEST
FROM CAMERON TO INTRACOASTAL CITY...BUT WITH ONGOING CONDITIONS AT
KARA AND KLFT THAT WAS CLOSE ENOUGH PROXIMITY TO JUSTIFY LEAVING
UP FOR THOSE MIDDLE MARINE ZONES.

KEPT HIGH POPS IN THE FORECAST FOR THE NEXT 48 HOURS AS WHATEVER
IS LEFT OF GUSTAV GRADUALLY SPINS ON UP TOWARD NERN TX THEN UP TO
THE OZARKS. PLENTIFUL MOISTURE EXPECTED TO LINGER BEHIND THE STORM
WHILE ALL THE MID-RANGE MODELS INDICATE THE STORM WILL LEAVE A
TROF IN ITS WAKE BACK OVER THE AREA. MORE SUMMER-LIKE WEATHER IS
EXPECTED TO RETURN BY LATE IN THE WEEK AS GUSTAV BIDS US GOODBYE
AND WEAK RIDGING ALOFT TRIES TO TAKE OVER.

.AVIATION...VERY WINDY CONDITIONS TO PERSIST AT THE TERMINALS INTO
TONIGHT ALONG WITH MVFR CEILINGS. VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS LOWER
IN RAIN BANDS. IN A WORD OR TWO...DONT FLY.

GUSTAV MOVES AWAY FROM THE AREA.
