The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS New Orleans, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Jan 10, 7:58 AM CST, 4 hours 44 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 10, 7:58 AM CST, 4 hours 44 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA 758 AM CST THU JAN 10 2008 .UPDATE... UPDATED GRIDS AND WILL UPDATE TEXT PRODUCTS SHORTLY. FIRST UPDATE WAS FOR CANCELLATION OF DENSE FOG ADVISORY AND SECOND UPDATE IS FOR RECENTLY ISSUED TORNADO WATCH 16 WHICH IS IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF THE NORTH AND WEST FORECAST AREA UNTIL 4 PM. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 452 AM CST THU JAN 10 2008/ SHORT TERM... MOST OF OUR ACTIVE WEATHER OVER THE NEXT WEEK WILL OCCUR TODAY AND TONIGHT. FIRST CONCERN EARLY THIS MORNING IS THE AREAS OF DENSE FOG THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED SINCE LATE EVENING. THE FOG HAS NOT BEEN WIDESPREAD AND CONSISTENTLY PRODUCING VISIBILITIES OF 1/4 MILE OR LESS...HOWEVER...IT IS STILL PREVALENT ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY KEEPING THE DENSE FOG ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 AM. INCREASING BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS...INSTABILITY...AND SHOWERS SHOULD CAUSE THE FOG TO LIFT AND VISIBILITIES TO IMPROVE BY MID MORNING. THE MAIN CONCERN TODAY IS SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AND HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL. WATER VAPOR LOOPS SHOW A WELL DEFINED SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING EAST ACROSS THE PLAINS STATES WITH AN UPPER JET SPEED MAX LIFTING OUT OF CENTRAL TX INTO THE OZARKS. AT THE SURFACE...LOW PRESSURE IS WAY UP IN KS WITH A COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTH INTO CENTRAL TX. THE SHORTWAVE AND COLD FRONT ARE EXPECTED TO MAINTAIN THEIR INTENSITY AS THEY MOVE EASTWARD INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY TODAY AND TONIGHT. UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE WILL BE HIGH AND COINCIDENT WITH THE STRONG LOW LEVEL MOISTURE FLUX CONVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONTAL BAND. VERTICAL SHEAR WILL BE VERY FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. INSTABILITY IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE HIGH...BUT MODEST BOUYANCY WITH CAPES OF 500 TO 1000 J/KG ARE LIKELY AS SURFACE DEWPOINTS ARE LIKELY TO REMAIN IN AT LEAST THE MID TO UPPER 60S AHEAD OF THE FRONT. THE ENTIRE AREA IS IN A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH ALL MODES AND TYPES OF SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE FROM DISCREET SUPERCELLS...AND LINES WITH LEWPS AND BOWS ALONG THE MAIN LINE. THE AREA WITH THE HIGHEST VALUES OF SHEAR AND INSTABILITY IS LIKELY TO BE OVER AREAS NORTH OF LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN AND ACROSS SOUTH MS...AND A PORTION OF THIS AREA COULD BE UPGRADED TO A HIGHER RISK OF SEVERE LATER ONCE AREAS OF BETTER SURFACE HEATING BECOME ESTABLISHED. THE MOST ACTIVE TIME OF THUNDERSTORMS...SEVERE POTENTIAL...AND HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE IN THE AFTERNOON FROM THE MCCOMB AREA TO NEAR BATON ROUGE...AND DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS FROM THE NEW ORLEANS AREA TO THE MS GULF COAST. THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS AND RAIN WILL GENERALLY DIMINISH AND END WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE AREA LATER TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. LONG TERM... AM KEEPING A DRY FORECAST THIS WEEKEND DESPITE AN OCCASIONAL /LIKE THE LATEST 06Z/ GFS RUN WHICH SHOWS A VERY POTENT SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING NEAR THE NORTHWEST AND CENTRAL GULF COAST SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING WITH RAIN SPREADING INLAND ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. THE ECMWF CONTINUES TO SHOW A WEAKER UPPER SYSTEM AND ONLY MODEST SURFACE LOW DEVELOPMENT FROM THE CENTRAL INTO THE NORTHEAST GULF WITH SOME THREAT OF RAIN OVER THE COASTAL WATERS...AND WILL CONTINUE TO FAVOR THAT SOLUTION. ANOTHER WEATHER SYSTEM MAY BRING THE NEXT THREAT OF SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. AVIATION... VIS AND CIGS ARE GOING TO STAY WITHIN IFR CRITERIA UNTIL AFTER SUNRISE. WARMING AND STRONGER WINDS SHOULD DISPERSE THE FOG INTO LOW AND MID LEVEL DECKS BY MID MORNING OVER ALL TERMINALS. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE VEERING FROM SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH OVER THE TAF PERIOD AND WILL REMAIN IN THE 10 KT RANGE DURING THE EARLY MORNING. THESE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO THE 15 KNOT RANGE BY LATE MORNING FOR ALL SITES. THERE IS ALSO A POSSIBILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS AT EACH TERMINAL STARTING AROUND NOON THROUGH MIDNIGHT FROM WEST TO EAST AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. MARINE... NO MAJOR HEADLINES EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT. WILL HEADLINE FOR SCC(SMALL CRAFT EXERCISE CAUTION) AS SOUTHERLY WINDS INCREASE TO THE 15 TO 20 KNOT RANGE TODAY. SEA FOG WILL CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE NEAR SHORE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH ABOUT 10 AM. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE SOUTHERLY AT 15 KTS TONIGHT BEFORE A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. BEHIND THE FRONT...WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTH AND INCREASE TO AROUND 20 KTS. SEAS WILL BUILD BEHIND THE FRONT AND TOP OUT AROUND 6 FEET BY THE 30 MILE MARKER. SEAS WILL BE LESS THAN 6 FEET WITH DISTANCES CLOSER TO SHORE. THE SURFACE HIGH WILL SLIDE EASTWARD ON SATURDAY CAUSING WINDS TO BECOME MORE EASTERLY AND SEAS TO SUBSIDE. ANOTHER SURFACE LOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE GULF AND MOVE NORTHEASTWARD STAYING SOUTH OF THE COASTAL WATERS. HIGH PRESSURE AGAIN BUILDS INTO THE COASTAL WATERS ON SUNDAY. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
