AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
352 PM CDT WED MAY 2 2012

.SYNOPSIS...RELATIVELY WEAK SFC FIELD OVER MUCH OF THE CONUS. BROAD
HIGH PRESSURE OVER MUCH OF THE ERN SEABOARD AND INTO THE ATLANTIC.
BROAD LOW PRESSURE OVER MUCH OF THE PLAINS. IN THE MID LVLS THE TWO
MOST NOTABLE FEATURES ARE THE RIDGE OVER THE SERN ATLANTIC COAST AND
THE S/W MOVING THROUGH THE LOWER MS VALLEY. SCT SHRA/TSRA REMAIN
OVER REGION. /CAB/

&&

.SHORT TERM...ACTIVE DAY TODAY OVER MUCH OF THE REGION BUT THE
MAJORITY OF THE SHRA AND TSRA ACTIVITY REMAIN OVER THE NERN HALF OF
THE CWA AND MAINLY THE NRN HALF. THIS WAS RIGHT ALONG THE SURGE OF
LL MOISTURE. OF COURSE THIS RAIN HAS HAD AN IMPACT ON HIGHS TODAY AS
LOCATIONS ALONG THE MS COAST REMAINED IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S.
OUTSIDE OF THE CONVECTION TEMPS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REACH THE LOWER
80S.

TONIGHT THROUGH SUN...CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVN HRS BUT
BY 4/5Z SHOULD BECOME MORE ISLTD IN NATURE. THE S/W OVER THE REGION
RIGHT NOW WILL CONTINUE TO WORK TO THE NE AND BY TOMORROW MRNG
SHOULD BE PUSHING INTO THE TN VALLEY. AT THE SAME TIME THE DEEPER
MOISTURE WILL PUSH OFF TO THE E AND NE AS WELL. THIS WILL LEAD TO
FAR LOWER RAIN CHANCES TOMORROW. THE GREATEST RISK FOR SHRA AND TSRA
WILL BE ACROSS THE EXTREME NE OF OUR CWA...THE MS COAST COUNTIES.
AFTER THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BACK OVER THE SERN CONUS
AND THAT ALONG WITH DRIER AIR(PWS EXPECTED TO DROP DOWN TO 1.25 OR
LOWER) WILL LEAD TO AT BEST ISLTD CONVECTION IF NOT COMPLETELY DRY
CONDITIONS. THIS RIDGE ALONG WITH HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SFC WILL
DOMINATE THE REGION THROUGH THE WEEKEND. LL TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO
CLIMB A FEW DEGREES AND BY SAT AND SUN H85 TEMPS COULD APPROACH 18C
AND THIS COULD LEAD TO A FEW LOCATIONS TOUCHING 90 DEGREES THIS
WEEKEND. /CAB/

.LONG TERM...THERE ARE SOME DISAGREEMENTS IN THE MEDIUM RANGE MDLS
WITH THE HANDLING OF THE RIDGE OVER THE SERN CONUS NEXT WEEK.
OVERALL VERY MINUTE CHANGES MADE TO THE EXTENDED FCST.

THE BIGGEST ISSUE IN THE EXTENDED IS THE BREAK DOWN OF THE RIDGE.
ECMWF IS SHOWING A STRONG S/W COMING OUT OF MEXICO ACROSS TX SUN
NIGHT AND INTO MON AND BREAKS THE RIDGE DOWN BRINGING SHRA AND TSRA
BACK INTO THE FCST. THE GFS REALLY DOES NOT SHOW MUCH OF A WAVE AND
THUS HOLDS ONTO THE RIDGE MUCH STRONGER KEEPING THE REGION RATHER
DRY. WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD ONTO A MOSTLY DRY FCST AT THIS TIME AS IT
AGREES MORE WITH THE PREVIOUS FCST BUT IF THE MDLS TREND MORE TWRDS
BREAKING THE RIDGE DOWN THEN WE WILL NEED TO INCREASE RAIN CHANCES
FOR MON-WED. /CAB/

&&

.MARINE...THINGS HAVE BEEN CALMING DOWN OVER THE COASTAL WATERS
THROUGHOUT THE DAY BUT WINDS OF 15-20 KTS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE OVER
PORTIONS OF THE COASTAL WATER INTO THE EVN HRS BEFORE WINDS FINALLY
DROP DOWN TO 15 KTS OR LESS TONIGHT. SEAS HAVE RESPONDED TO THE
WEAKENING WINDS AS WELL WITH BOUT 42040 DOWN TO 6 FT. HIGH PRESSURE
IS EXPECTED TO BUILD BACK OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND
THIS WILL KEEP THINGS RELATIVELY QUIET. AFTER TONIGHT THERE WILL
REALLY NOT BE ANY REAL ISSUES AS WINDS DROP TO 10KTS OR LESS BY
TOMORROW AND SEAS DROP TO 3FT OR LOWER. /CAB/

&&

.AVIATION...SEVERAL BANDS OF CONVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT AREA
TERMINALS THROUGH AT LEAST 00Z.  HAVE VCTS WORDING MENTIONED AT ALL
TERMINALS TO REFLECT THIS THREAT.  IF ANY CONVECTION LOOKS TO
THREATEN A TERMINAL...AMENDMENTS CAN BE MADE TO REFINE THE FORECAST.
WHEN CONVECTION MOVES THROUGH THE AREA...EXPECT TO SEE CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITIES LOWER INTO THE MVFR AND POSSIBLY IFR RANGE. AFTER
00Z...THE CONVECTION WILL BEGIN TO DISSIPATE. HOWEVER...LOW CEILINGS
WILL BECOME A CONCERN BY 06Z...AS A LOW LEVEL INVERSION FORMS.
EXPECT TO SEE IFR CEILINGS FORM AT ALL TERMINALS AFTER 06Z...WITH
SOME LIFR RESTRICTIONS POSSIBLE AROUND 12Z. THE INVERSION WILL BEGIN
TO LIFT AROUND 14-15Z TOMORROW...BUT CEILINGS OF 1500 TO 3000 FEET
WILL STILL BE AN ISSUE THROUGH 18Z.  THERE COULD BE SOME ADDITIONAL
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY AFTER 18Z...BUT THE ACTIVITY WILL BE MUCH LESS
WIDESPREAD.  32
