AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAKE CHARLES LA
645 AM CDT MON OCT 17 2011

.AVIATION...
MAIN AVIATION CONCERNS THIS MORNING WILL BE THE PATCHY FOG AND LOW
CLOUDS ACRS THE AREA. VISBYS HAVE BEEN QUITE VARIABLE...BUT
EXPECT GENERALLY MVFR WHICH COULD LOWER TO 1/4 TO 1/2 SM AT TIMES.
IN ADDITION...LOW CLOUDS STREAMING IN ON LOW LEVEL SRLY FLOW ARE
PRODUCING CIGS BETWEEN 1500-3500 FT AT SRN TAF SITES. CONDITIONS
EXPECTED TO IMPROVE BETWEEN 14Z-15Z THIS MORNING...WITH VFR TO
PREVAIL THEREAFTER. WINDS TODAY WILL BE SRLY 5-10 KT...DIMINISHING
THIS EVENING. PATCHY FOG IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AGAIN TONIGHT
PRIOR TO A COLD FRONT THAT WILL CROSS THE AREA TUESDAY MORNING.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 347 AM CDT MON OCT 17 2011/

DISCUSSION...
IN THE IMMEDIATE SHORT TERM...THE MAIN ISSUE IS PATCHY FOG AS LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE IS TRAPPED BELOW THE NOCTURNAL INVERSION.
MEANWHILE...LIGHT WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES HAVE ALLOWED RADIATIONAL
COOLING TO TAKE PLACE WITH AIR TEMPERATURES MEETING UP WITH DEW
POINT READINGS. ALTHOUGH VISIBILITIES HAVE BEEN DOWN TO 1/4SM IN
SOME SPOTS...ESPECIALLY SOUTHEAST TEXAS...FOG FORMATION OVERALL
HAS BEEN PATCHY IN NATURE...AND THUS NO ADVISORY IS NEEDED AT THE
MOMENT...BUT WILL WATCH CLOSELY UNTIL SUNRISE. AFTER...SUNRISE...FOG
WILL DISPERSE...WITH ANOTHER WARM AND SUNNY DAY ON TAP.

AIR MASS CHANGES HOWEVER WILL BE ON THE WAY AS UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE OVER THE ROCKIES WILL PUSH EASTWARD HELPING TO DEEPEN
UPPER LEVEL TROF OVER THE GREAT LAKES TO THE SOUTH. THIS WILL PUSH
A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA ON TUESDAY MORNING. SOME
MOISTURE POOLING DOES TAKE PLACE RIGHT ALONG THE FRONT WITH PWAT
AT OR ABOVE 1.25 INCHES. HOWEVER...MOISTURE OVERALL LOOKS SHALLOW
WITH MEAN RH AROUND 50 PERCENT...AND DEVELOPING SOUTHWEST FLOW
AHEAD OF THE FRONT LOOKS TO BRING IN DRY AIR IN THE MID LEVELS
FROM OLD MEXICO ACROSS AND PROVIDING A MID LEVEL CAP. WITH MAIN
UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS STAYING TO THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST...SHOWER
ACTIVITY SHOULD BE LIGHT AND ISOLATED AT BEST. SO WILL ONLY GO
WITH A 20 POP FOR NORTHERN ZONES AND KEEP SILENT 10 FOR SOUTHERN
ZONES WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE.

BEHIND THE FRONT...DECENT PRESSURE GRADIENT SHOULD ALLOW FOR
BREEZY CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF WIND ADVISORY
CONDITIONS FOR TUESDAY. A MUCH COOLER AND DRIER CONTINENTAL AIR
MASS WILL MOVE IN WITH THESE BRISK NORTHERLY WINDS...AND
TEMPERATURES ARE ONLY EXPECTED TO REACH INTO THE 70S FOR DAY TIME
HIGHS...SOME 10 TO 15 DEGREES LOWER THAN WHAT HAS BEEN OCCURRING.

THE MUCH COOLER CONDITIONS WITH MUCH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES
WILL THEN PREVAIL ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FOR MUCH OF THE
REMAINING WORK WEEK...WITH LOWS IN THE 40S AND HIGHS IN THE 70S.

SOME MODIFICATION OF THE AIR MASS WILL TAKE PLACE OVER THE WEEKEND
AS HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EAST ALLOWING
FOR EASTERLY THEN SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS TO DEVELOP.

RUA

MARINE...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS ON TUESDAY
MORNING. DECENT PRESSURE GRADIENT...ALONG WITH COOLER AND DRIER
AIR MOVING OVER RELATIVELY WARM GULF WATER TEMPERATURES...WILL
CREATE STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS
LOOK LIKELY BY LATE TUESDAY MORNING AND CONTINUING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. SOME WIND GUSTS WILL BE AROUND OR OVER GALE
FORCE...ESPECIALLY THE OUTER WATERS BY LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO
TUESDAY NIGHT. THE WINDS WILL BEGIN TO DECREASE ON WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE REGION RELAXING THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT.

RUA

FIRE WEATHER...
FIRE DANGER IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
BEHIND A STRONG COLD FRONT. VERY DRY ANTECEDENT GROUND CONDITIONS
EXIST WITH THE LACK OF RECENT SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL AND KEETCH-
BYRAM INDICES ARE OVER 600 ACROSS THE REGION. THE COLD FRONT THAT
WILL MOVE ACROSS ON TUESDAY MORNING...IS EXPECTED TO BE MAINLY DRY
NOT ALLOWING ANY RELIEF TO GROUND CONDITIONS. MEANWHILE...NORTHERLY
WINDS WILL INCREASE BEHIND THE FRONT WITH SUSTAINED 20 FOOT WINDS
AROUND 15 MPH OR HIGHER...AND THE DRIER AIR MASS WILL DROP
AFTERNOON MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES BELOW 40 PERCENT
NORTHWEST OF AN ALEXANDRIA TO BEAUMONT LINE. WOULD NORMALLY LOOK
FOR RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES IN THE 30 PERCENT RANGE OR LOWER FOR
CRITICAL FIRE DANGER...THE STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS ALONG WITH THE
VERY DRY GROUND CONDITIONS WILL STILL MAKE FOR VERY HIGH FIRE DANGER.

THE HIGH FIRE DANGER WILL CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY. ALTHOUGH THE 20
FOOT SUSTAINED WINDS WILL BE A LITTLE LOWER...IN THE 10 TO 15 MPH
RANGE...AFTERNOON MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE VERY
LOW...AND AROUND 20 PERCENT.
