AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
1143 PM CST SUN JAN 1 2012

.AVIATION...
VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD AT ALL TAF SITES.
EXPECT NORTHERLY/NORTHWESTERLY WINDS TO INCREASE TO 10 TO 15 KTS
DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS BEFORE EASING AGAIN AFTER SUNSET.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 709 PM CST SUN JAN 1 2012/

SOUNDING DISCUSSION...
NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS EVENINGS FLIGHT. WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE
LATE THIS MORNING THE SOUNDING HAS DRIED OUT WITH THE PW VALUE
NOW AT 0.19 INCHES. CLEAR SKIES WERE OBSERVED AT RELEASE. THE
TEMPERATURE PROFILE HAS COOLED SINCE LAST NIGHTS FLIGHT EXCEPT
AT AROUND 825MB WHERE THE TEMPERATURE IS ONLY SLIGHTLY WARMER. THE
WINDS INCREASE 21KTS IN THE FIRST 1200 FEET OF THE FLIGHT. MEAN
LOW LEVEL WINDS FROM THE SURFACE THROUGH 5K FEET WERE FROM THE
NORTHWEST AT 21KTS. FROM 5K TO 10K FEET THE WINDS WERE FROM THE
WEST-NORTHWEST AT 23KTS. THE MAX WIND FOR THE FLIGHT WAS FROM THE
WEST AT 85KTS NEAR 39K FEET.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 354 PM CST SUN JAN 1 2012/

SYNOPSIS...COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO MOVE THROUGH AND HAS PRETTY MUCH
MOVED ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA. THE FRONT WAS STILL PUSHING THROUGH THE
MS COAST AND INTO THE COASTAL WATERS. ALOFT...WE ARE QUICKLY MOVING
UNDER NW FLOW WITH SKIES EITHER CLEAR OR QUICKLY CLEARING. HIGH
PRESSURE AT THE SFC WAS STILL CNTRD WELL BACK TO THE NORTHWEST IN
THE CNTRL PLAINS JUST EAST OF THE ROCKIES. /CAB/

SHORT TERM...QUIET BUT COLD FCST IN STORE FOR THE CWA. COLD FRONT
HAS MOVED THROUGH AND HIGH PRESSURE IS STARTING TO BUILD IN. CLOUDS
HAVE CLEARED OUT FOR THE MOST PART WITH SO CLOUDS STILL OVER COASTAL
LA AND THE COASTAL WATERS. AHEAD OF THE FRONT COMPRESSIONAL HEATING
ALLOWED THINGS TO WARM UP NICELY. TEMPS GOT RATHER WARM WITH A FEW
LOCATIONS GETTING INTO THE MID 70S. IN FACT A FEW PLACES TESTED AND
EVEN UNOFFICIALLY BROKE RECORDS(DUE TO LACK OF LENGTH FOR RECORDS IS
WHY IT IS UNOFFICIAL). GPT GOT UP TO 76 AND THIS BREAKS THE RECORD
OF 72 SET IN 2006 AND ASD GOT UP TO 75 JUST SHY OF A RECORD(78 IN
2006). IN THE NW WHERE THE COLD FRONT MOVED THROUGH MUCH EARLIER
HIGHS ONLY GOT IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S AND HAVE ACTUALLY COOLED A
FEW DEGREES THIS AFTN.

TONIGHT AND TOMORROW...HIGH PRESSURE IS PUSHING INTO THE REGION AND
CAA WILL OCCUR THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW. WITH CLEAR
SKIES...MUCH DRIER AND COLDER AIR ADVECTING INTO THE REGION LOOK FOR
A MUCH COLDER NIGHT. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MCB MOST OF THE AREA SAW
MORNING LOWS IN THE UPPER 40S TO MID 50S BUT TONIGHT LOWS ARE
EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM THE MID 30S TO LOWER 40S...ABOUT 15 DEGREES
COOLER THAN THIS MORNING. AS FOR TOMORROW THE ONLY REAL ISSUE IS HOW
WARM WILL WE GET. H925 TEMPS WILL RANGE FROM 2-4C AND THIS WOULD
NORMALLY TRANSLATE TO 52-55. ADD ANOTHER DEGREE OR TWO FOR MOSTLY
DRY SOIL CONDITIONS AND FULL SUN AND WE WILL LIKELY REMAIN IN THE
MID 50S JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE(54-57).

TOMORROW NIGHT THROUGH TUE NIGHT...THESE LOOK TO BE THE 2 COLDEST
NIGHTS OF THE SEASON FOR THE REGION SO FAR. HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE
DIRECTLY OVER THE AREA AND DEWPOINTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE TEENS
TO LOWER 20S. THERE WILL BE ANOTHER SURGE OF COOLER AIR OVERNIGHT
MON NIGHT AND THIS COULD LEAD TO POSSIBLE HARD FREEZE CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE SW MS AND SOME OF THE DRAINAGE AREAS WHILE THE SOUTH
SHORE MAY FINALLY SEE A LIGHT FREEZE. TUE WILL BE COLDER THAN MON
THX TO THE SECONDARY SURGE OF LL COLDER AIR(H925 TEMPS DOWN -1C. TUE
NIGHT WILL BE ANOTHER COLD ONE AS THE SFC HIGH THROUGH THE REGION.
PROVIDING LIGHT WINDS AND CLEAR SKIES.

LONG TERM...THROUGH THU MDLS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT BUT BY 00Z FRI
THE MDLS DIVERGE GREATLY. WITH THAT WE WILL STICK CLOSELY TO THE
LATEST MEX VALUES UNTIL WE GET MORE CONFIDENCE IN ONE OF THE
EXTENDED MDLS.

QUIET CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THU. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL STILL DOMINATE THE REGION AND BELOW NORMAL TEMPS AND DRY
CONDITIONS. AS WE MOVE INTO THU NIGHT AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND A LOT
OF UNCERTAINTY LIES WITH THE POSSIBLE DEVELOPMENT OF A DISTURBANCE
IN TX/SW GULF. WITH THAT THERE IS A CHANCE FOR RAIN TO RETURN BE AS
EARLY AS FRI BUT MORE LIKELY NEXT WEEKEND.

MARINE...COLD FRONT HAS PUSHED WELL INTO THE COASTAL WATERS AND
WITH STRONG OFFSHORE WINDS DEVELOPING. WINDS OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS ARE
DEVELOPING AND SHOULD REMAIN OVER WATERS THROUGH TOMORROW AND
POSSIBLY INTO TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES INTO THE AREA UNTIL
THE END OF THE WEEK. WE SHOULD SEE THE NEXT SYSTEM AFFECT THE AREA
LATE THIS WEEK/NEXT WEEKEND.
