Area forecast discussion, Mar 27, 8:23 PM CDT, 1 hour 58 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
823 PM CDT FRI MAR 27 2009
.SHORT TERM...
.SOUNDING DISCUSSION...
THE ATMOSPHERE IS VERY MOIST AND RELATIVELY UNSTABLE WITH AN LI OF
-1.9 AND A PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUE OF 1.54 INCHES. SOUTHERLY
WINDS CONTINUE TO BRING AN ABUNDANT AMOUNT OF MOISTURE INTO THE
AREA. GOOD SPEED AND DIRECTIONAL SHEAR PRESENT...THEREFORE THERE
IS THE THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. THERE IS
ALSO A POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL WITH FAIRLY STEEP LAPSE RATES AND
A LARGE AMOUNT OF SHEAR.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 754 PM CDT FRI MAR 27 2009/
UPDATE...
FORECAST UPDATED TO INCLUDE TORNADO WATCH NUMBER 83. THIS WATCH
INCLUDES ALL OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA AS WELL AS SOUTHWESTERN
MISSISSIPPI. THE COASTAL MISSISSIPPI COUNTIES REMAIN OUTSIDE OF
THE WATCH AREA.
FOR MORE DETAILS CONCERNING THE SEVERE WEATHER THREATS ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS WATCH...PLEASE REFER TO THE TORNADO WATCH PRODUCT ISSUED
BY THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER.
95/DM
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 406 PM CDT FRI MAR 27 2009/
DISCUSSION...
BIGGEST CONCERNS ARE IN THE FIRST 24 HOURS OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.
FIRST AND FOREMOST...TORNADO WATCH 79 IS IN EFFECT FOR THE FAR
NORTHWESTERN ZONES. FOR A DISCUSSION CONCERNING THE IMMEDIATE
THREATS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT WATCH...PLEASE REFER TO THE TORNADO
WATCH PRODUCT ISSUED BY THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER.
A DEEP 500 MB TROUGH IS FORECAST TO SWING THROUGH THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY TONIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW MORNING. AS THE
TROUGH MOVES EASTWARD...STRONG DIVERGENCE IS FORECAST TO HELP
DEEPEN SURFACE LOW OVER THE ARKLATEX REGION. THIS LOW WILL MOVE
QUICKLY NORTHEASTWARD AND WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA
TONIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY MORNING.
ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...A RATHER POTENT SQUALL LINE IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AND BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION. ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE
POSSIBLE. BOWING SEGMENTS ALONG THE LINE WILL BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING STRONG AND DAMAGING WINDS. LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED
TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.
LUCKILY...THE SQUALL LINE IS FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
QUICKLY. THIS WILL HELP KEEP RAINFALL TOTALS MUCH LOWER THAN LAST
NIGHT. OVERALL...FORECASTING AN ADDITIONAL 1-1.5 INCHES ACROSS MOST
AREAS. HOWEVER...A FEW LOCATIONS COULD SEE AS MUCH AS AN
ADDITIONAL 3 INCHES. IF THE RAINFALL DOES HAPPEN TO OCCUR OVER A
VERY SHORT PERIOD...THERE COULD BE ADDITIONAL FLASH FLOODING
CONCERNS. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE
AREA UNTIL 7AM SATURDAY.
BEHIND THE FRONT...STRONG SUBSIDENCE AND COLD AIR ADVECTION SHOULD
TAKE OVER. EXPECT CLEARING TO WORK ITS WAY WEST TO EAST THROUGHOUT
THE DAY SATURDAY WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE MID 60S. COOL AND DRY
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY.
FEW CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE EXTENDED PERIOD AS MODELS CONTINUE TO
SHOW DIFFERENCES BEYOND TUESDAY. GFS AND ECMWF BOTH FORECAST A COLD
FRONTAL PASSAGE SOME TIME TUESDAY. GFS KEEPS THE AREA UNDER
SOUTHWEST FLOW WITH CONTINUED CONVECTION THROUGH THURSDAY. ECMWF
CONTINUES TO FORECAST DRIER CONDITIONS BEHIND THE FRONT. FOR THE
TIME BEING WILL CONTINUE TO LEAN TOWARD THE GFS AND WILL KEEP
SLIGHT CHANCE OR CHANCE POPS IN THE FORECAST THROUGH THURSDAY.
AVIATION...
CONVECTION ONE MORE NIGHT. SHRA AND TSRA WILL CONTINUE
TO TRY TO DEVELOP THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTN BUT BY THIS EVN
THINGS WILL BEGIN TO QUITE DOWN AT BTR/MSY/GPT. MCB WILL LIKELY
STILL HAVE CONVECTION TO DEAL WITH EARLY THIS EVN. ALL OF THIS WILL
BE SHORT LIVED THOUGH AS A STRONGLY FORCED SQUALL LINE BEGINS TO
MOVE INTO THE REGION JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT. WITH THE CONVECTION
CEILINGS AND VISBIES WILL GO DOWN. ALSO WITH THE SQUALL LINE TSRA
WINDS COULD APPROACH 65KT OR GREATER. ONCE THE FRONT PASSES WINDS
WILL QUICKLY VEER AROUND TO THE W AND WNW. PROBABLY AROUND 6Z FOR
BOTH BTR AND MCB THEN CLOSER TO 9/10Z AT MSY AND 10/11Z GPT.
MARINE...
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH SUN
MORNING. ALSO THE COASTAL FLOOD WARNING HAS BEEN EXTENDED TILL 12Z
TOMORROW. STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP SEAS UP ACROSS
THE COASTAL WATERS. THE WINDS WILL SHIFT BEHIND THE FRONT TOMORROW
AFTERNOON...WHICH WILL KEEP WINDS UP OVER THE WATERS...ALLOWING THE
ADVISORIES TO PERSIST THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT. TIDES WILL ALSO REMAIN
HIGH THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH COASTAL FLOODING EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE.
