AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAKE CHARLES LA
843 PM CDT FRI APR 13 2012
.UPDATE...
RADAR SHOWS THAT THE FEW SHOWERS THAT DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON
UNDER THE CAP HAVE DISSIPATED WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING.
THERE MAY BE A STRAY STREAMER TYPE SHOWER OVER THE GULF DURING THE
NIGHT WITH THE DEVELOPING LOW LEVEL JET. OTHERWISE...ANY SIGNIFICANT
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE WELL TO THE NORTH AND
NORTHWEST OF THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT. HAVE MADE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS
TO POP AND WEATHER GRIDS TO REFLECT THIS.
SHOULD BE A RATHER WARM AND MUGGY NIGHT AS WINDS STAY UP SOMEWHAT...ALONG
WITH THE EXPECTED LOW LEVEL CLOUD COVER THAT WILL DEVELOP WITH THE
NOCTURNAL LOW LEVEL JET.
WINDS WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY INCREASE OVER THE MARINE AREA DURING
THE NIGHT WITH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS EXPECTED OVER
COASTAL WATERS BY MIDNIGHT...AND EXERCISE CAUTION OVER THE COASTAL
LAKES.
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST UNCHANGED AT THIS POINT.

DML
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 405 PM CDT FRI APR 13 2012/
DISCUSSION...
WEATHER MAP LOOKS THE SAME THIS AFTERNOON AS IT DID THIS MORNING
WITH HIGH PRESSURE KEEPING A SRLY LOW-LEVEL FLOW OVER THE REGION.
LOCAL RADARS NOTE SOME STREAMER SHOWERS DEVELOPING UNDER THE CAP
FROM SOUTH TO WEST OF MARSH ISLAND WHILE ADDITIONAL SMALL AND WEAK
SHOWERS POP UP OVER LAND THANKS TO ABUNDANT HEATING. WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY SHOWS A STRONG CUTOFF LOW MOVING ASHORE ALONG THE NRN CA
COAST WHILE RIDGING PERSISTS OVER MUCH OF THE ERN 1/2 OF THE
COUNTRY.
WEATHER SHOULD REMAIN RATHER QUIET THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT WITH
WEAK RIDGING KEEPING SOME CAPPING IN PLACE AND MOST CONVECTION AT
BAY. COULD CONTINUE TO SEE SOME SMALL SHOWERS DEVELOP UNDER THE
CAP...AND HAVE MAINTAINED SMALL POPS INTO THIS EVENING FOR THE
ACTIVITY THAT HAS ALREADY DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON. FOR LATE
TONIGHT AND SATURDAY HAVE JUST KEPT POPS OUT THE FORECAST BUT
WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SMALL POPS RE-INTRODUCED TO THE
FORECAST WITH LATER PACKAGES. MAIN PROBLEM TOMORROW LOOKS TO BE
THE STRONG SRLY WINDS AS THE GRADIENT REMAINS TIGHT WITH DEEP LOW
PRESSURE CROSSING THE PLAINS STATES. A WIND ADVISORY LOOKS
POSSIBLE FOR THE SRN 1/2 OF THE AREA...BUT WILL ALLOW LATER SHIFTS
TO RE-ASSESS THE NEED BEFORE ISSUING.
BY SUNDAY DEEP TROF PUSHES EWD INTO THE PLAINS WHILE CUTOFF LOW
MOVES NEWD TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES. THIS IN TURN PULLS SFC LOW NWD
WITH A TRAILING FRONTAL BOUNDARY PROGGED BACK INTO ERN TX. THIS
FRONT CROSSES THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY BEFORE
STALING ALONG/NORTH OF THE I-10 CORRIDOR. ALTHOUGH BEST
DYNAMICS/MOISTURE GET PULLED WELL TO OUR NORTH...LATEST MODEL RUNS
PROJECT SUFFICIENT AMOUNTS OF EACH TO WARRANT LIKELY POPS FOR THE
NWRN ZONES SUNDAY NIGHT...AND THE ENTIRE AREA FOR MONDAY AND
MONDAY NIGHT WHEN A SFC LOW OR COASTAL TROF IS PROGGED TO SPIN UP
OVER THE NWRN/WRN GULF WHICH WILL ONLY SUPPLY ADDITIONAL LIFT.
SPC IS MONITORING CONDITIONS FOR SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL FOR OUR
AREA MAINLY AROUND THE TIME OF FROPA BUT FOR NOW ELECTING TO LEAVE
OUT ANY SUCH WORDING UNTIL WE GET CLOSER TO THE EVENT. HEAVY RAIN
LOOKS LIKELY WITH THIS EVENT AS WELL WITH SIGNIFICANT QPF VALUES
PROGGED...THE NRN 1/2 OF THE AREA IN PARTICULAR COULD SEE A COUPLE
INCHES OF RAIN WITH THIS SYSTEM.
UPPER DYNAMICS DEPART THE AREA FOR TUESDAY WITH ZONAL FLOW LEFT IN
ITS WAKE ALOFT. THE DISSIPATING SFC BOUNDARY AND LINGERING PLENTIFUL
LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD KEEP BE GOOD ENOUGH TO WARRANT KEEPING
SMALL POPS IN THE FORECAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY BEFORE WEAK RIDGING
RE-DEVELOPS ALOFT AND HOPEFULLY DRIES US OUT. HOWEVER NEXT
SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE CROSSING THE CNTL CONUS SHOULD LEAD TO SOME
WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS LATE IN THE PERIOD.
