.AVIATION...

...18Z AVIATION DISCUSSION...

TROPICAL STORM LEE WILL CONTINUE TO BRING INCLEMENT CONDITIONS TO
ALL OF THE TERMINALS. EXPECT PREVAILING MVFR CONDITIONS THROUGH
AROUND 00Z...WITH A DROP INTO THE THE IFR RANGE AFTER 00Z AND
PERSISTING THROUGH TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS THE CORE OF THE TROPICAL
STORM NEARS THE REGION. WINDS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGH THE

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 349 AM CDT SAT SEP 3 2011/

SHORT TERM...
WILL KEEP IT SHORT THIS MORNING. A LARGE SHIELD OF RAIN AND SOME
TS ACTIVITY MIXED IN. RADAR RAINFALL ESTIMATES ARE RUNNING AROUND
2 INCHES AS AN AVERAGE OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS. GREATER AMOUNTS OF
4 TO 6 INCHES ARE SHOWING UP IN ST.
TAMMANY...TERREBONNE...LAFOURCHE...JEFFERSON...AND PLAQUEMINES.
ISOLATED AREAS OF 6 TO 8 INCHES ARE FOUND IN TERREBONNE PARISH.
EXPECTE THESE TALLIES TO BE A LOT HIGHER AFTER TODAY AND TONIGHT.
FLOODING IS ALMOST A CERTAINTY WHEN SOME OF THE HEAVIER CELLS
TRAIN OVER AN AREA. THE OTHER PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE TO BE
TORNADOES AND WATERSPOUTS. THE ENVIRONMENT IS PRIME FOR THESE
FEATURES AND THIS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY TODAY THROUGH
SUNDAY. AS THE SYSTEM PULLS AWAY MONDAY...WE SHOULD SEE CONDITIONS
GRADUALLY IMPROVE THROUGH THE DAY AND ESPECIALLY MONDAY NIGHT. DRY
AIR QUICKLY MOVES IN TUESDAY AND BRINGS US SOME VERY COMFORTABLE
CONDITIONS FOR A FEW DAYS BY MID-WEEK. DRY CONDITIONS SHOULD LAST
INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

AVIATION...
ALL TERMINALS WILL BE IN IFR MOST IF NOT ALL DAY. THIS WILL LAST
THROUGH TONIGHT AS WELL. SUNDAY IS NOT LOOKING ANY BETTER. RAIN
AND POSSIBLE TS AT ALL TERMINALS WITH STRONG WIND SPEEDS ON ALL RUNWAYS.

WINDS HAVE BEEN INCREASING THROUGH THE NIGHT. SW PASS JUST
REPORTED A SUSTAINED WIND OF 44 KT AND GUSTS TO 52 KT. SEAS ARE
RUNNING FROM 10 TO 13 FEET WITH A PERIOD OF 7 TO 9 SECONDS.
NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS IS EXTREMELY ROUGH AND DANGEROUS. CONDITIONS
ARE NOT EXPECTED TO IMPROVE UNTIL MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. WINDS
WILL COME AROUND TO A NORTHERLY DIRECTION MONDAY WEST OF THE RIVER
AND GRADUALLY SPILL EAST OF THE RIVER LATE IN THE DAY.
