AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
406 AM CST TUE NOV 30 2010

.SHORT TERM...
NO NEED STATING THE OBVIOUS. AFTER THE COLD FRONT MOVES THRUOGH
TEMPS WILL FALL INTO THE 50S BEFORE THE DAY IS DONE. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL MOVE IN WITH THE CORE TOPPING THE AREA AS WELL. FREEZING
TEMPS WILL BE FOUND MAILY OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA. WIND
SPEEDS SHOULD REMAIN AROUND 5 KNOTS FOR THOSE AREAS AND 10 KNOTS
OR BETTER FOR THE REMAINDER. THE HIGHS CORE MOVES OVER WED NIGHT
KEEPING FREEZING TEMPS IN THE FCAST. THE HIGH REMAINS ANCHORED
OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF COAST THROUGH SAT BEFORE MOVING EAST
AS ANOTHER STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH TUESDAY. THIS IS WHERE
THINGS GET INTERESTING...DEPENDING ON WHICH GLOBAL SOLUTION YOU
LIKE.

BOTH THE EURO AND THE NORTH AMERICAN SUITES ARE INITIALIZING VERY
WELL. THEREFORE...MUST GO WITH EXPERIENCE AS WE APPROACH THE END
OF THE 7TH DAY GOING INTO THE 8TH DAY. BOTH GLOBAL MODELS DIG AN
UPPER GREAT LAKES TROUGH BUT THEY DIFFER IN THEIR HANDLING OF THE
UPPER CUT OFF LOW OUT OF THE PACIFIC THROUGH THE SW. THE GFS
ERODES THE LOW WHILE THE EURO KEEPS IT IN TACT. THE IN TACT
SCENARIO SEEMS TO BE MORE LIKELY SINCE THE UPPER LOW IS MOVING TO
THE SOUTH SIDE OF A LARGE UPPER HIGH. THE UPPER LOWS WOULD BE
MOVING THROUGH TEMPS THAT ARE WARMER THAN ITS CORE WHICH WOULD
CAUSE IT TO STAY TOGETHER AS IT MOVES EAST. IT WOULD THEN OPEN UP
TO THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES SINCE THE TEMP STRUCTURE
BETWEEN THEM WILL BE OF LITTLE DIFFERENCE. THIS IS THE EURO
SCENARIO. NOW COMES THE BIG PROBLEM...BOTH MODELS BRING A COLD AIR
MASS OVER THE DEEP SOUTH WITH A FRONTAL PASSAGE ON TUESDAY. IF
THIS UPPER LOW STAYS IN TACT...WHICH IT SHOULD...A STRONG GULF LOW
WILL BEGIN TO DEVELOP. THIS WILL SLING AN ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE
BACK OVER THIS COLD AIR BY TUE NIGHT INTO WED. OBVIOUSLY...TIMING
AND A BUNCH OF OTHER THINGS CAN AND PROBABLY WILL CHANGE WITH THIS
BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE WILL HAVE TO BE WEARY OF AS WE GET
INTO NEXT WEEK.

&&

AVIATION...
IFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE FRONT PASSES EACH SITE THIS
MORNING. 4-5K FT CEILINGS WILL REMAIN THROUGH NOON AT BTR AND
CLEAR THE EASTERN TERMINALS BY DARK. WINDS WILL BE ANOTHER PROBLEM
TODAY ONCE THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH AS WINDS WILL BE NORTHERLY AT
15 TO 20 KNOTS AT TIMES. THINGS WILL EASE BY EVENING AND STAY THAT
WAY THROUGH TONIGHT.

MARINE...
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL REMAIN POSSIBLY THROUGH WED FOR ALL
COASTAL WATERS. VERY STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS OF 25 TO 30 KNOTS WITH
GUSTS ABOVE GALE FORCE ARE EXPECTED TODAY MAKING VERY DANGEROUS
SEA CONDITIONS FOR SMALL CRAFT. THINGS WILL EASE SOMEWHAT WED
NIGHT INTO THU AND REMAIN THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
