AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
945 PM CST SAT FEB 5 2011

.UPDATE...

...SOUNDING DISCUSSION...

NO PROBLEMS WITH THE FLIGHT THIS EVENING. A MUCH DRIER EVENING
WITH A PW OF ONLY 0.25 INCHES. A FAIRLY STEEP INVERSION IN PLACE
BETWEEN 900 AND 825 MILLIBARS WITH TEMPERATURES RANGING BETWEEN 30
AND 40 DEGREES IN THAT LAYER. WINDS ARE LIGHT AND PRIMARILY WESTERLY
IN THE LOWEST LEVELS AS A STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW CONTINUES TO
DOMINATE THE MIDDLE AND UPPER LEVELS. A 143 KNOT SOUTHWESTERLY JET
IN PLACE AT 260 MILLIBARS THIS EVENING.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 347 PM CST SAT FEB 5 2011/

SHORT TERM...
MOISTURE AXIS WAS LOCATED FROM THE MID ATLANTIC TO THE NORTH
GULF...ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS. AS A RESULT...SHOWERS LINGERED
JUST SOUTHEAST OF THE MOUTH SHOULD PUSH EAST BY 00Z SUNDAY. A
VIGOROUS SHORT WAVE WAS LOCATED OVER NEW MEXICO. SURFACE HIGH OVER NORTH
GULF WITH THE RIDGE AXIS TO THE MID SOUTH WILL SLOWLY SHIFT EAST
TONIGHT. CLEAR AND VERY LIGHT SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BE IDEAL FOR
RADIATIONAL COOLING...ESPECIALLY NORTH SHORE ZONES WILL BE COOLER
THAN LAST NIGHT. TEMPS TONIGHT ON THE SOUTH SHORE WILL BE SIMILAR
TO THIS MORNING. THICKNESS LAYERS OF 1000 TO 700MB INCREASE ABOUT
10 TO 15M OVERNIGHT...WHICH MAY KEEP TEMPS AROUND AND JUST ABOVE
THE FREEZING MARK ON THE SOUTH SHORE TONIGHT. WITH THE HIGH TO THE
EAST FLOW WILL BECOME SOUTHWESTERLY BUT LIGHT FOR SUNDAY. SHORT
WAVE WILL DIVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS TEXAS SUNDAY AND ACROSS THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY SUNDAY NIGHT. DEEP MOISTURE SOUTH OF THE OLD
BOUNDARY WILL STREAM NORTH BUT REMAIN COASTAL AREAS IN SOUTHEAST
LOUISIANA AND COASTAL WATERS. SHORT WAVE IS EXPECTED TO BECOME
NEGATIVELY TILTED BY MIDDAY MONDAY...ALTHOUGH DEEP MOISTURE WILL
BE EAST. HOWEVER...SOME INSTABILITY MAY DEVELOP ISOLATED THUNDER
OVER THE COASTAL WATERS SUNDAY NIGHT. WILL GO WITH A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS MAINLY SUNDAY NIGHT. SHORT WAVE AXIS FLUSHES MOISTURE EAST
FOLLOWED BY COLD AIR ADVECTION MONDAY...FLURRIES POSSIBLE...AROUND
5 PERCENT ACROSS NORTH ZONES MONDAY. NORTHWEST FLOW FROM SURF TO
700MB WILL SHORTENED THE WINDOW FOR THIS SLIGHT CHANCE OF SNOW.
ERGO...WILL MAINTAIN A LIQUID FORECAST SUNDAY INTO MONDAY FOR NOW.
SHARP TROUGH AXIS MEANS A QUICK COOL DOWN MONDAY NIGHT AND SLIGHT
MODERATION IN TEMPS TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.

LONG TERM...
ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM IS POISED TO TRACK ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. GFS AND ECMWF ARE COMING TOGETHER WITH THEIR
TIMING. ERGO...WE PUSHED THE RAIN THREAT BACK TO WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY. THE NEXT SYSTEM HAS SLIGHTLY
MORE NORTH TRACK ACROSS NORTH LOUISIANA AND TAPS MORE MOISTURE. AS
RESULT...THE SURFACE LOW MAY TRACK ACROSS THE SOUTH HALF ZONES.
AGAIN MARGINAL INSTABILITY WILL DEVELOP OVER THE COASTAL WATERS
AND COASTAL SECTIONS OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA AND WE INSERTED SLIGHT
CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. LATER PACKAGES MAY
HAVE TO INSERT THUNDER ACROSS LAND AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT IF
INSTABILITY INCREASES. AS THE AXIS MOVES EAST...COLD AIR WILL
IMMEDIATELY FOLLOW WITH LOWERED THICKNESS TO SUPPORT FROZEN PRECIP
ACROSS THE NORTH ZONES THURSDAY MORNING. PRECIP WILL END LATE
THURSDAY AND REMAIN DRY NEXT WEEKEND.

AVIATION...

STRONG SUBSIDENCE AND DRY AIR ADVECTION IN THE WAKE OF A DEPARTING
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS WILL CONTINUE TO BRING VFR CONDITIONS TO ALL
OF THE TERMINALS THROUGH TOMORROW AFTERNOON. 32

MARINE...

THE NEXT SIGNIFICANT EVENT FOR THE MARINE ZONES WILL BEGIN TO
DEVELOP TOMORROW NIGHT AND CONTINUE INTO MONDAY...AS A STRONG UPPER
LEVEL LOW AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH THE COASTAL
WATERS. ALTHOUGH THE EVENT WILL BE FAIRLY SHORT-LIVED WITH A
DURATION OF 12-18 HOURS...VERY STRONG WINDS OF 25 TO 30 KNOTS CAN BE
EXPECTED OVER THE COASTAL WATERS.  THE TIDAL LAKES AND SOUNDS SHOULD
SEE WINDS OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS DURING THIS TIME FRAME.  AT THIS
TIME...DEFINITE SCA AND POSSIBLE GALE CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST.  A
FEW DAYS LATER...ANOTHER STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL IMPACT THE
COASTAL WATERS.  THIS LOW WILL DEVELOP IN THE COASTAL BEND OF TEXAS
AND MOVE THROUGH THE COASTAL WATERS WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.
INCREASING EASTERLY FLOW IN ADVANCE OF THE LOW WILL RESULT IN
EXERCISE CAUTION CONDITIONS ON WEDNESDAY.  WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY A PERIOD OF SCA CONDITIONS SHOULD DEVELOP AS COLD AIR
ADVECTION TAKES HOLD OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. 32
