AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
322 PM CST WED JAN 25 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
STRONG TO SEVERE SQUALL LINE IN CENTRAL TO SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA WAS
MOVING EAST 32 KNOTS. LINE EXTENDS WELL INTO THE WEST GULF WITH
ENHANCED CONVECTION AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING. SEVERAL LEWPS NOTED
ALONG THE LINE AND A FEW CELLS WITH APPENDAGES. COLD FRONT IN LAG
OF THE SQUALL LINE ABOUT 30 MILES WEST. WARM FRONT ORIENTED
GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF I-20 CORRIDOR WITH MID 60S DEWPOINTS
IN WARM SECTOR. UPPER LOW CENTERED NEAR TEXAS BIG BEND AND
OCCLUDING.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
LARGEST FORECAST ISSUES ARE WITHIN THE NEXT 18-24 HOURS REGARDING
SPRING-LIKE STORM SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH THE LOWER LATITUDES.
SURFACE LOW VICINITY UPPER TEXAS COAST HAS A SHARP PRE-FRONTAL
SQUALL LINE RACING WELL OUT AHEAD OF UPPER DYNAMICS BUT FEEDING ON
JET DYNAMICS AND RICH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. THE SEGMENT OF THE
SQUALL BAND IN NORTH LOUISIANA WAS ACCELERATING ABOUT 45 KNOTS
WHILE SOUTHERN EXTENT IS SOMEWHAT SLOWER...ABOUT 30 KNOTS. THIS
TIMING WOULD PLACE THE SQUALL IN BATON ROUGE AREA BETWEEN 6 PM AND
9 PM. THE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO SLOW AND ORIENT MORE SW-NE ACROSS
THE TIDAL LAKES AREA...WHICH COULD EVOLVE INTO A HEAVY RAIN EVENT
OVERNIGHT. SEVERE THREAT WILL PERSIST THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT AND
SHOULD BE MULTI-MODAL. UPPER LOW WITH ASSOCIATED COLD POOL WILL
PASS THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA LATE THURSDAY. RAIN SHOULD END
BY THURSDAY NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...
HIGH PRESSURE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL OVER THE GULF STATES THROUGH THE
WEEKEND WITH SEVERAL RESURGENCES OF COLD AIR BUILDING SOUTH
THROUGH SUNDAY BEFORE MODERATING AND MOVING EAST MONDAY AND
TUESDAY. MODELS INDICATE AN UPPER LATITUDE SYSTEM DROPPING A
FRONTAL ZONE INTO THE MID-GULF REGION NEXT WEDNESDAY. TIMING OF
THIS FEATURE MAY VARY WITH SUBSEQUENT MODEL RUNS BUT SHOULD SPELL
THE NEXT CHANCE OF RAINFALL AFTER THIS LATEST SYSTEM.

&&

.AVIATION...
MVFR CEILINGS TO PREVAIL TONIGHT THOUGH LOWERING IN CONVECTION.
SQLN TIMING WILL BE TRICKY BUT IS CURRENTLY ESTIMATED KBTR AROUND
00Z...KMCB AROUND 01Z...KMSY/KASD/KNEW BETWEEN 04Z-07Z...KGPT
BETWEEN 09-12Z...ASSUMING THE FRONT WILL SLOW FORWARD PROGESS AS
ANTICIPATED.

&&

.MARINE...
TIGHTENING OF GRADIENT AHEAD OF SQUALL LINE WILL MAINTAIN GENERAL
15-20 KNOTS OF ONSHORE FLOW THIS EVENING. POSTED EXERCISE CAUTION
HEADLINES ON ALL COASTAL WATERS BUT WINDS SHOULD LESSEN SOMEWHAT
AFTER SQUALL PASSES. THERE IS A HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF THE SQUALL
PRODUCING GALE GUSTS WITH ITS PASSAGE. THEREAFTER...FLOW BECOME
OFF SHORE ORIENTED WITH HIGH PRESSURE PRESIDING OVER THE NORTH
GULF AND GULF STATES THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

TWO INCHES OF RAIN WITH THIS SYSTEM. LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE
POSSIBLE. LATER STATEMENTS AND FORECASTS WILL UPDATE ANY CHANGES
TO THE FORECAST.

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES MAY BE NECESSARY ACROSS THE OPEN WATERS
BEHIND THE COLD FRONT THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY AS WINDS
INCREASE TO NEAR 20 KNOTS. SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP
AGAIN LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AS A RE-ENFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR
PUSHES THROUGH THE REGION.

WEATHER CAN CHANGE VERY RAPIDLY. ALWAYS USE THE LATEST
FORECASTS...WATCHES AND WARNINGS FOR PLANNING PURPOSES.
