AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
1230 PM CST MON MAR 1 2010

...GALE WARNINGS NOW IN EFFECT ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT
AND TUESDAY...

.UPDATE...
AREAS NOT EXPERIENCING RAIN THIS MORNING...SOUTH AND EAST OF LAKE
PONTCHARTRAIN...HAD AMPLE SUN THROUGH HIGH CLOUDS TO ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO RISE ABOVE THE FORECAST VALUES. CLOUDS AND RAIN
WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD EAST THIS AFTERNOON AND POCKETS OF
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN ARE ALREADY SHOWING UP WEST OF MCCOMB AND
NORTH/WEST OF BATON ROUGE. RAIN INITIALLY IS FALLING THROUGH DRY
AIR /AS REFLECTED IN THE LIX 12Z SOUNDING/...BUT AFTER AN HOUR OR
SO IS SATURATING THE LOW AND MID LEVELS ENOUGH TO MEASURE AT THE
GROUND. OTHER THAN TEMPERATURE CHANGES...THE GRIDS ON LAND DID NOT
NEED MANY CHANGES AT THIS TIME. MAY HAVE TO LOOK CLOSELY AT WINDS
RIGHT NEAR THE SOUTH SHORE OF LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN AND ACROSS THE
COASTAL MARSHLANDS OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA WHERE SUSTAINED SPEEDS
MAY GET ABOVE 25 MPH WITH GUSTS 35 TO 40 MPH AFTER MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT. MAY HAVE TO ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR THESE AREAS WITH
THE AFTERNOON FORECAST PACKAGE. REFER TO THE MARINE SECTION FOR
INFORMATION ON THE NOW EXPECTED GALE CONDITIONS. 22/TD
&&

.AVIATION...
DETERIORATING CONDITIONS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON. AS LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE CONTINUES TO INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON...CIGS WILL DROP AND
MVFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT ALL TERMINALS BY MID AFTERNOON...
WITH AT LEAST TEMPORARY PERIODS OF IFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THIS
EVENING AS WIDESPREAD RAIN AFFECTS ALL TERMINALS. EXPECT REDUCED
VISIBILITY DUE TO SHOWERS THROUGH THE EVENING. CONDITIONS SHOULD
BEGIN IMPROVING LATE TONIGHT. 95/DM

.MARINE...
MARINE MOS GUIDANCE AND A MEASUREMENT OF THE 4 MB PRESSURE GRADIENT/
GEOSTROPHIC WIND CALCULATIONS ALL SHOW GALE CONDITIONS
DEVELOPING...POSSIBLY IN GUSTS THIS EVENING...AND EITHER SUSTAINED
OR IN FREQUENT GUSTS AFTER MIDNIGHT THROUGH THE DAY ON TUESDAY.
IN FACT...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE GUSTS APPROACHING STORM
FORCE /50 KNOTS/ FOR A FEW HOURS OVER PORTIONS OF THE OUTER
COASTAL WATERS LATE TONIGHT GIVEN THE COMBINATION OF A VERY TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT AND OPTIMAL STRONG DOWNWARD TRANSPORT OF STRONG
WINDS AS THE DEEP MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS SWINGS THROUGH THE COASTAL
WATERS BETWEEN 3 AND 6 AM TUESDAY. ALTHOUGH NOT MENTIONED IN THE
COASTAL WATERS FORECAST...THUNDERSTORMS SOUTH OF ABOUT 29 DEGREES
NORTH LATITUDE COULD PRODUCE STRONG TO SEVERE WIND
GUSTS...POSSIBLY EXCEEDING 50 KNOTS ESPECIALLY OVER THE WATERS
BEYOND 20 NMI FROM SHORE...MAINLY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS
EVENING. OVERALL...IT WILL BECOME VERY DANGEROUS TO IMPOSSIBLE FOR
SMALL CRAFT TO VENTURE OUT...AND UNCOMFORTABLE TO HAZARDOUS FOR
MEDIUM SIZE CRAFT. 22/TD

&&

.CLIMATE...
THE CLIMATE SECTION OF OUR WEB PAGE HAS BEEN UPDATED TO SHOW THE
RANKINGS OF COLD MEAN TEMPERATURES IN FEBRUARY...AND THE VERY WET
WINTER SEASON. GO TO CLIMATE - LOCAL/ LOCAL DATA/RECORDS/ ANNUAL
SEASONAL ALL-TIME AND MONTHLY TOP 10 CLIMATE TABLES FOR THIS
INFORMATION. ALSO...A PUBLIC INFORMATION STATMENT WAS ISSUED AT

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 312 AM CST MON MAR 1 2010/

SHORT TERM...
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE APPEARS TO BE MATERIALIZING ALONG THE LOWER
TX COAST IN RECENT SURFACE ANALYSIS. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS UPPER
LEVEL SYSTEM OVER THE TRANS-PECOS OF WEST TX AND SURFACE LOW
REFLECTION NEAR HOBBS NM. MEANWHILE...MODERATING HIGH PRESSURE
OVER SE U.S. PROVIDING SOME DRAINAGE INTO LOCAL AREA WITH MARINE
LAYER AIR POISED JUST OFF THE COAST. AS GULF LOW MATURES THIS
MORNING MOISTURE SHOULD INCREASE STEADILY FOR INCREASED CLOUD
COVER. LARGE EXPANSE OF SHOWERS AND ISENTROPIC LIFT RAINFALL
EXTENDING FROM NEAR KCRP INTO TX PANHANDLE AND SPREADING TOWARDS
LA. RAINFALL LIKELY TO ONSET SHORTLY AFTER NOON TODAY AND BECOMING
WIDESPREAD STEADY THROUGHOUT THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT BEFORE
TAPERING OFF TUESDAY. MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH
TRACK...TIMING AND INTENSITY OF SYSTEM MOVING ALONG LA COAST
TONIGHT...CONTINUING EAST INTO FL TUESDAY. DESPITE COLD RAIN
EXPECTATIONS...IT DOES APPEAR THE COLUMN WILL BE JUST WARM ENOUGH
TO FORGO ANY TYPE OF WINTRY PRECIPITATION IN THE FORECAST AREA.
FORECAST CHANGED VERY LITTLE FROM PREVIOUS PACKAGES IN THE SHORT
TERM.

AS FAR AS CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK FOR TODAY...SPC HAS PLACED THE AREA
NEAR THE COAST AND SOUTH OF THE TIDAL LAKES IN A 5% RISK FOR HAIL
AND HIGH WINDS IN THE EVENT BETTER SURFACE BASED AIR CAN ADVANCE
NORTHWARD ENOUGH BEFORE THE LOW MOVES EAST OF THE MS RIVER DELTA.
RISK SEEMS BETTER OVER THE COASTAL WATERS SOUTH OF SURFACE WARM
FRONT BUT THIS BOUNDARY MAY ADVANCE INTO THE COASTAL MARSHES
BRIEFLY. CURRENTLY...THE LIGHTNING NETWORK IS NOT DETECTING ANY
STRIKES WITH THE AREA OF CONVECTION OVER TX.

LONG TERM...
GFS SHOWS A LENGTHY STRETCH OF FAIR WEATHER WITH A CONTINUATION OF
COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND SLOW WARMING TREND THROUGH
NEXT WEEKEND. THE ECMWF SHOWS SIMILAR BUT DIFFERS AT THE END WITH
MORE TROUGHING TO PORTEND A WETTER SOLUTION FOR EARLY NEXT
WEEK...WHEREAS THE GFS SHOWS PERSISTENT RIDGING ALOFT AND HIGH
PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE. AT THIS TIME...JUST A TEMPERATURE
FORECAST FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

AVIATION...
CURRENT SET OF TAFS APPEARS TO BE ON TRACK. AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
INCREASES THIS MORNING...EXPECT CIGS TO BEGIN LOWERING...WITH MVFR
CONDITIONS POSSIBLE AT KBTR AND KMSY BY LATE MORNING. CONDITIONS
WILL LOWER TO IFR BY EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON AT ALL TERMINALS WITH
THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF KGPT...WHERE CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
OCCUR ABOUT 3 HOURS LATER THAN KMSY. WITH CURRENT TRACK OF SURFACE
LOW EXPECTED TO REMAIN OFF THE LOUISIANA COAST...WILL NOT CARRY
THUNDER IN ANY OF THE TAFS. AS LOW CENTER MOVES EAST OF THE
AREA...NORTH WINDS WILL BRING IN DRIER AIR. EXPECT VISIBILITIES TO
IMPROVE DURING THE LATE EVENING HOURS...AND CIGS SHOULD BEGIN TO
IMPROVE TO AT LEAST MVFR BEFORE 12Z TUESDAY. 35

MARINE...
MODELS FAIRLY CONSISTENT IN BRINGING WELL DEVELOPED UPPER TROUGH
ACROSS REGION IN NEXT 36 HOURS...WITH ATTENDANT STRENGTHENING
SURFACE LOW MOVING FROM WESTERN GULF TO NEAR THE SW PASS MONDAY
EVENING. STRONG SE FLOW OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS AND BUILDING SEAS WILL
DEVELOP IN ADVANCE OF THE LOW. CONFIDENCE HIGH IN STRENGTHENING SE
FLOW. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY BEGINNING AT 6AM FOR AREAS WEST OF THE MS
RIVER...ALTHOUGH THAT MAY ACTUALLY BE A FEW HOURS TOO FAST. WILL
BRING UP EXERCISE CAUTION FOR THE AFTERNOON FOR THE TIDAL LAKES.
ADVISORY WILL KICK IN AT 21Z FOR COASTAL WATERS EAST OF THE MS
RIVER...AND AT 00Z FOR THE LAKES.

AS SURFACE LOW PASSES EAST OF THE REGION TONIGHT...STRONG NORTHERLY
FLOW DEVELOPS IN ITS WAKE. AT THIS POINT KEEPING WINDS IN THE 25 TO
30 KNOT RANGE...SIMILAR TO 00Z NAM FORECAST. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR
SUBSEQUENT MODEL RUNS FOR POTENTIAL SHORT PERIOD OF GALE CONDITIONS
DEVELOPING TUESDAY MORNING AS COLD ADVECTION AND DEEP TROUGHING
ALLOWS SUBSTANTIAL MIXING TO SURFACE. SEAS OFFSHORE WILL RAPIDLY
BUILD TODAY AND SEAS TO 10 FEET IN THE OUTER COASTAL WATERS LIKELY
BY EARLY TUESDAY IN THE STRONG NORTHERLY FLOW. WIND AND SEAS
GRADUALLY DIMINISH AS SURFACE GRADIENT RELAXES AND SURFACE RIDGE
BEGINS TO DOMINATE. ONSHORE FLOW BEGINS TO DEVELOP NEXT WEEKEND
AHEAD OF THE NEXT SURFACE LOW. 35
