AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
408 AM CDT FRI MAR 23 2012

.SHORT TERM...

A SLOW MOVING CLOSED LOW CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH THE LOWER
MISSOURI VALLEY WILL FINALLY BEGIN TO ACCELERATE TO THE EAST
TODAY...AS SOME NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY EJECTS OUT OF THE NORTHWEST
AND INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. THIS WILL SERVE AS THE KICKER
SYSTEM TO FINALLY GET THE CLOSED MOVING AT A FASTER SPEED.
UNFORTUNATELY...THE FULL EFFECTS OF THIS EASTERN MOTION WILL NOT
BE NOTICED UNTIL THE AFTERNOON HOURS...WHEN THE MAIN PIVOT POINT
OF THE CLOSED LOW AND ASSOCIATED TROUGH AXIS PARKED OVER OUR CWA
FINALLY BEGINS TO SLIDE TO THE EAST. WITH THIS IN MIND...EXPECT TO
SEE THE TROUGH AXIS AND AN ASSOCIATED WEAK LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY
CONTINUE TO FOCUS THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVER AREAS FROM A HOUMA TO
NEW ORLEANS TO GULFPORT LINE THROUGH THE LATE MORNING HOURS. HAVE
KEPT IN HIGH POPS FOR THE MORNING FOR NEW ORLEANS AND HOUMA WITH
HIGH POPS CONTINUING INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS FOR THE MISSISSIPPI
COAST. WITH WET ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS IN PLACE...ANY ADDITIONAL
HEAVY RAINFALL IN THESE AREAS WILL LEAD TO ADDITIONAL FLOODING
ISSUES. AS A RESULT...THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL CONTINUE FOR
THE HOUMA AREA...METRO NEW ORLEANS...AND THE MISSISSIPPI GULF
COAST THROUGH NOON. BEHIND THE CONVERGENCE LINE...A MUCH DRIER
AIRMASS IS ALREADY IN PLACE...AND HAVE NO POPS MENTIONED FOR BATON
ROUGE OR SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI TODAY.

TEMPERATURES WILL EASILY RISE INTO THE LOWER 80S OVER NORTHERN
AND WESTERN ZONES. WITH SOME EXPECTED CLEARING TAKING PLACE IN NEW
ORLEANS BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS...ALSO EXPECT HIGHS TO APPROACH 80
DEGREES. ONLY THE MISSISSIPPI COAST SHOULD SEE CONTINUED CLOUDS
AND RAIN MOST OF THE DAY...WITH HIGHS ONLY RISING INTO THE MIDDLE
70S.

MUCH QUIETER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS MOST OF THE
FORECAST AREA BY TONIGHT...AS THE CONVERGENCE ZONE AND ASSOCIATED
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS CONTINUE TO PUSH FURTHER SOUTH AND EAST.
SOME CONTINUED CONVECTION WILL IMPACT THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH
SATURDAY...AS THE BOUNDARY LINGERS OVER THE NORTHERN GULF...BUT
ALL LAND AREAS WILL SEE DRY WEATHER BY DAYBREAK ON SATURDAY. THIS
DRIER AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA ON SUNDAY...AS
THE MAIN CLOSED LOW MOVES INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES. DRY
WEATHER IS FORECAST ALL OF THE FORECAST AREA INCLUDING THE OUTER
WATERS BY SUNDAY MORNING.  WITH A DRIER AIRMASS ADVECTING
IN...EXPECT MUCH GREATER SOLAR INSOLATION TO OCCUR SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL CORRESPONDINGLY RISE INTO THE LOWER TO
MIDDLE 80S EACH DAY. HOWEVER...THE DRY AIR IN PLACE WILL ALLOW
OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL FALL INTO THE 50S ACROSS THE MOST OF THE CWA
EACH NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...

STRONG...DEEP LAYER RIDGING WILL BE THE DOMINANT FEATURE IMPACTING
THE FORECAST FOR NEXT WEEK. RIDGING WILL BE STRONGEST MONDAY AND
TUESDAY..WITH CLEAR SKIES AND WARM DAYTIME HIGHS IN THE MIDDLE 80S
EACH DAY. THE RIDGE WILL FLATTEN OUT A BIT FOR WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY AS A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH RIDES THROUGH THE MID-
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...AND A STRONGER TROUGH DIVES INTO THE
NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. OVERALL...A MORE ZONAL FLOW PATTERN
WILL DOMINATE THE GULF SOUTH BY LATE IN THE WEEK. IN THE LOW
LEVELS...SOME WEAK MOISTURE ADVECTION WILL BEGIN TO TAKE HOLD ON
THURSDAY AS SOUTHERLY WINDS DEVELOP. HOWEVER...DO NOT EXPECT ANY
PRECIP ON THURSDAY DUE TO A LACK OF UPPER LEVEL FORCING AND MID-
LEVEL MOISTURE. HIGHS WILL REMAIN WARM...WITH READINGS IN THE
LOWER TO MIDDLE TO 80S EXPECTED. OVERNIGHT LOW WILL MODERATE A
BIT...WITH READINGS CLOSER TO 60 DEGREES EACH NIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION...
+TS WILL MAINLY AFFECT TERMINALS FROM MSY...NEW TO ASD THIS MORNING.
A LINE OF REDEVELOPING TS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE 0900 HOUR BEFORE
BEGINNING TO SINK SOUTHWARD. LOWEST CEILINGS WILL LIKELY REMAIN
ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. IMPROVING CONDITIONS
WILL SINK SOUTHWARD BEHIND THE LINE OF SH/TS BUT THIS WILL BE A SLOW
PROCESS. LOW CEILINGS WILL BE OBSERVED AGAIN TONIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS HAVE EASED OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS AND WILL REMAIN THAT WAY
THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THE NEARLY STATIONARY FRONTAL
BOUNDARY DRAPED NEAR THE COAST WILL REMAIN IN THE AREA THROUGH THIS
EVENING BEFORE GETTING A PUSH TO THE SOUTHEAST ON SATURDAY. WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE WILL THEN PREVAIL OVER THE COASTAL WATERS FOR THE LAST HALF
OF THE WEEKEND AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
