AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
924 AM CDT WED APR 4 2012

.SOUNDING DISCUSSION...
NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS MORNINGS FLIGHT. THERE WAS A SMALL WINDOW OF
OPPORTUNITY TO RELEASE THE BALLOON DUE TO LIGHTNING IN THE AREA.
AN OVERCAST LAYER OF NIMBOSTRATUS WAS OBSERVED AT RELEASE WITH A
VERY LIGHT RAIN SHOWER. A THUNDERSTORM WAS OBSERVED DURING THE PREVIOUS
HOUR PRIOR TO RELEASE. THE PW VALUE WAS INDICATED AT 1.53 INCHES. THE
SOUNDING IS SATURATED FROM JUST UNDER 9K FEET THROUGH 13K FEET.
THE FREEZING LEVEL WAS LOCATED AT 12K FEET. STORM MOTION IS TO THE
EAST AT 8KTS. LOW LEVEL TEMPERATURES ARE COOLER SINCE YESTERDAY MORNINGS
FLIGHT ESPECIALLY FROM JUST ABOVE 1000MB THROUGH 900MB WHERE THE
TEMPS ARE 5 TO 7 DEGREES COOLER. THE 500MB TEMPERATURE IS AROUND 4
DEGREES WARMER. MEAN LOW LEVEL WINDS FROM THE SURFACE THROUGH 5K
FEET ARE FROM THE NORTH AT 20KTS. FROM 5K TO 10K FEET THE WINDS
WERE FROM THE SOUTH AT 10KTS. ABOVE 10K FEET THE WINDS ARE MOSTLY
FROM THE SOUTHWEST. THE K-INDEX OF 33 INDICATES MODERATE
CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL WHILE THE TOTAL TOTALS INDEX OF 45 SHOWS THAT
TSTMS ARE LIKELY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 612 AM CDT WED APR 4 2012/

SHORT TERM...
ONGOING STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WITH AREAS OF VERY HEAVY RAINFALL
WILL CONTINUE THIS MORNING...AND FLASH FLOODING WILL REMAIN A
CONCERN ACROSS AREAS MAINLY SOUTH OF I-10 AND LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN
IN LOUISIANA. THE PARENT UPPER STORM SYSTEM IS MOVING VERY SLOWLY
EAST NEAR THE PANHANDLE REGION OF OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS WHICH WILL
CONTINUE TO PLACE THE CENTRAL GULF COAST REGION IN STRONGLY
DIFLUENT FLOW IN THE MID/UPPER LEVELS. THE ATMOSPHERE MAY BECOME
WORKED OVER FROM ALL THE RAINFALL..SO MORE OF THE RAIN MAY BECOME
STRATIFORM WITH EMBEDDED CONVECTION LATER THIS MORNING.

ANY LULL IN ACTIVITY SHOULD BE SHORT LIVED AS BREAKS IN RAINFALL
AND CLOUDS WILL ALLOW DAYTIME HEATING WHICH WILL MAKE THE
ATMOSPHERE EXTREMELY UNSTABLE. THE TRENDS OF THE OBSERVED
SOUNDINGS AT KLIX HAVE BEEN VERIFYING WHAT THE MODELS HAVE BEEN
FORECASTING WHICH IS LIFTED INDICES DOWN AS LOW AS -12 AND SURFACE
BASED CAPES UP TO 4500 J/KG. IN ADDITION...INCREASING WIND FIELDS
AT ALL LEVELS WILL RESULT IN SHEAR MORE THAN ADEQUATE FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS TODAY THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY MORNING. THE ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA IS IN A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY
AND TONIGHT...AND MOST OF THE AREA EXCEPT WEST OF BATON ROUGE AND
SOUTHWEST OF HOUMA IS IN A SLIGHT RISK ON THURSDAY.

THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH FROM NORTH TO SOUTH THURSDAY
NIGHT...AND MOST OF THE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD BE
OVER BY LATE AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING ON THURSDAY. DRIER AIR
WILL RESULT IN COOLER TEMPERATURES AND LESS HUMID CONDITIONS
THURSDAY NIGHT.

LONG TERM...
DRIER AIR WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING FROM THE NORTH WILL
CONTINUE TO BRING LOWER HUMIDITY OVER THE WEEKEND. THE HIGHS WILL
CONTINUE TO BE WARM...BUT THE LOWS WILL BE COOLER DUE TO THE LOWER
HUMIDITY AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES.

A RATHER DEEP UPPER TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE EASTERN
U.S. WITH RIDGING TO THE WEST. THIS WILL SEND A REINFORCING
COLD FRONT SOUTH EARLY NEXT WEEK. IT STILL LOOKS LIKE THERE MAY
AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH THIS
COLD FRONT...BUT THE EXACT TIMING IS A LITTLE UNCERTAIN AT THIS
POINT. HEADING TOWARDS MID WEEK...A SURGE OF COOLER THAN NORMAL
AIR SHOULD MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE AREA. THIS MAY BRING THE LOWS
DOWN INTO THE 40S IN SOME NORTHERN AREAS WITH HIGHS POSSIBLY NOT
GETTING OUT OF THE LOWER 70S. THIS WOULD BE A NICE TASTE OF EARLY
SPRING WEATHER AFTER THE PERSISTENT LATE SPRING TEMPERATURES WITH
NUMEROUS DAYS OF RECORD HIGHS.

22/TD

AVIATION...
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE
PERIODIC MVFR AND IFR CONDITIONS ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION TODAY.
WILL ATTEMPT TO TIME WORST CONDITIONS WITH TEMPO GROUPS...BUT SHORT
TERM AMENDMENTS WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE NEEDED AS THE SITUATION EVOLVES.

95/DM

MARINE...
PREVAILING WINDS TODAY WILL GENERALLY BE SOUTH 10 TO 15 KNOTS
WITH SEAS 2 TO 4 FEET...HOWEVER...THUNDERSTORMS MAY CONTINUE TO
CREATE MUCH STRONGER AND SHIFTING WINDS OVER 34 KNOTS...POSSIBLY
OVER 50 KNOTS IN SOME AREAS ALONG WITH MUCH HIGHER WAVES. WINDS
WILL TURN SOUTHWEST AND AVERAGE NEAR 15 KNOTS OFFSHORE
TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...HOWEVER ONCE AGAIN THUNDERSTORMS MAY
PRODUCE MUCH HIGHER WINDS.

THE COLD FRONT WILL SHIFT WINDS AROUND TO NORTHWEST THURSDAY NIGHT
AND NORTH TO NORTHEAST ON FRIDAY WITH SPEEDS IN THE 10 TO 15 KNOTS
RANGE. HIGH PRESSURE BEHIND THE FRONT WILL SETTLE OVER THE
SOUTHEAST STATES OVER THE WEEKEND...AND AN INCREASING PRESSURE
GRADIENT IS EXPECTED TO BRING EASTERLY WINDS UP TO 15 TO 20 KNOTS
LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY MORNING. EASTERLY WINDS SHOULD DROP
OFF TO 10 TO 15 KNOTS ON SUNDAY AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES.
