353 PM CDT SAT SEP 3 2011

.DISCUSSION...
TROPICAL STORM LEE REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY ALONG THE CENTRAL
LOUISIANA COAST THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES HAVE COOLED SLIGHTLY
ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF OUR REGION AS THE OUTER EDGE OF THE
CLOUD SHIELD EXPANDS WESTWARD. PRECIPITATION CONTINUES TO SLOWLY
WORK ITS WAY WESTWARD AND HAS NOW REACHED OUR EXTREME EASTERN
COUNTIES. THINKING ON PRECIP FORECAST FOR TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY REMAINS
RELATIVELY UNCHANGED...WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
EXPECTED ACROSS AREAS EAST OF INTERSTATE 45 AND DRY CONDITIONS TO
THE WEST. WINDS WILL REMAIN RATHER BREEZY AND THE WIND ADVISORY
WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THIS EVENING AND THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS ALONG THE COAST. LEE IS EXPECTED TO FINALLY MOVE
OFF TO THE NORTHEAST BY LATE TOMORROW AND OUR RAIN CHANCES WILL
END QUICKLY AS THE SYSTEM MOVES AWAY.

AS LEE DEPARTS A COOL FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE STATE
ON MONDAY. MUCH DRIER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT WILL LEAD TO A PLEASANT
WEEK WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOW 60S AND HIGHS
AROUND 90 DEGREES. A REINFORCING SHOT OF DRY AIR IS EXPECTED BY
EARLY NEXT WEEKEND THANKS TO PERSISTENT NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT.
UNFORTUNATELY...NO RAIN IS EXPECTED BEYOND SUNDAY AS THE RIDGE
BEGINS TO REESTABLISH ITSELF ACROSS WEST TEXAS. 38

BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME THIS EVENING. WITH OFFSHORE FLOW...HIGHEST SEAS

MODEL...WHICH SEEMS REALISTIC GIVEN AVBL OBSERVATIONS. IN ADDITION
WITH PERSISTENT OFFSHORE FLOW...TIDE LEVELS NOW BELOW NORMAL...AND
WILL LIKELY BE ONE TO TO FEET BELOW NORMAL. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY
HAVE IMPACTS TO VESSEL TRAFFIC. LONGER TERM...WINDS AND SEAS FINALLY
DIMINISH AS TS LEE SLOWLY MOVES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. BY MID WEEK
SEAS AND WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH GREATLY.

BASED ON RADAR TRENDS...HAVE UPDATED TAFS TO GO WITH TEMPO LIGHT
SHOWERS FOR ALL BUT CLL...UTS...AND LBX. THIS LIGHT RAIN OR SHOWER
