AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
750 AM CST THU JAN 26 2012

.UPDATE...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AND ISOLATED TORNADO POTENTIAL HAS INCREASED
OVER THE LAST HOUR OR SO...MAINLY OVER COASTAL SECTIONS OF
SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA. 12Z LIX SOUNDING AND SPC MESOANALYSIS PAGE
SHOW VERY FAVORABLE SHEAR AND ADEQUATE INSTABILITY TO SUPPORT
ROTATING SUPERCELLS IN ADVANCE OF SQUALL LINE...AND SPIN-UPS ALONG
THE LINE.

OTHER THAN SOME MOSTLY MINOR STREET FLOODING...THE THREAT OF MORE
SERIOUS FLASH FLOODING CAPABLE OF CLOSING ROADS AND FLOODING
PROPERTY APPEARS VERY LOW GIVEN THE NOW PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF THE
SQUALL LINE. WILL CONTINUE TO TRIM THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WITH THE
TORNADO WATCH AS THE LINE MOVES EAST.

&&

22/TD

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 644 AM CST THU JAN 26 2012/

UPDATE...
..SOUNDING DISCUSSION...

NO PROBLEMS WITH THE FLIGHT THIS MORNING. OVERALL...ATMOSPHERE
REMAINS UNSTABLE WITH SUFFICIENT MOISTURE IN THE LOW LEVELS.
SATURATED LAYER EXTENDS UP TO 890 MB. A POCKET OF DRY AIR EXISTS
FROM 890 MB TO 720 MB. MOISTURE RETURNS TO THE MID AND UPPER
LEVELS ABOVE 720 MB. MOISTURE IS INDICATED BY A PW VALUE OF 1.35
INCHES. THE PW VALUE HAS LIKELY INCREASED BY NOW DUE TO RAIN IN
THE AREA. A DEEP CLOUD DECK EXISTS ABOVE 995 MB. THE STORM
RELATIVE HELICITY BETWEEN 0 AND 3 KM IS NEAR 403 M2/S2. WINDS VEER
FROM SOUTHEAST TO THE SOUTHWEST FROM THE SFC TO 5K FEET WITH
SPEEDS AVERAGING NEAR 34 KNOTS. WINDS FROM 5K TO 10 K FEET REMAIN
OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST WITH SPEEDS AVERAGING NEAR 34 KNOTS. WINDS
ALOFT MAINTAIN UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST ABOVE 10K
FEET. LASTLY...THERE IS A JET MAX OF 103 KNOTS NEAR 219 MB.

KL

.AVIATION...

IFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE TERMINALS DUE
TO SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL AS LOW CEILINGS AND REDUCED
VISIBILITIES OCCURRING DURING HEAVY RAIN BANDS. A LARGE LINE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDING FROM NEAR BOGALUSA TO NEW
ORLEANS TO JUST EAST OF HOUMA...WILL SLOWLY MAKE ITS WAY EASTWARD.
THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT KMSY...KNEW...KASD AND
KHSA FOR A COUPLE MORE HOURS. VISIBILITIES HAVE ALREADY IMPROVED
IN WESTERN TERMINALS INCLUDING KBTR...KMCB AND KHUM. HOWEVER LOW
CEILINGS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH MID MORNING. THE CONVECTION WILL
GRADUALLY MAKE ITS WAY EAST MOVING INTO THE KGPT AREA BY THE MID
MORNING HOURS TODAY. KGPT WILL BE THE LAST TAF SITE TO SEE THE
PRECIPITATION END...AROUND MID DAY TODAY. ALL LOCATIONS ARE
EXPECTED TO RETURN TO MVFR TO VFR CONDITIONS BY EARLY AFTERNOON
TODAY.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 542 AM CST THU JAN 26 2012/

SHORT TERM...

TORNADO WATCH AND FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAVE RECENTLY BEEN
EXPANDED/ISSUED UNTIL NOON CST FOR THE SAME LOCATIONS...ROUGHLY
EAST OF A LINE FROM NEAR TYLERTOWN TO HAMMOND TO THE ATCHAFALAYA
RIVER WEST OF HOUMA...AND SOUTH INTO THE COASTAL WATERS OUT 20
NAUTICAL MILES.

THE UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER NORTHEAST TEXAS WILL BE OPENING INTO A
DEEP SHORTWAVE TROUGH THAT WILL MOVE NORTHEAST/EAST ACROSS THE
LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY LATE TODAY AND EARLY TONIGHT. THE
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH MOST LAND AREAS BY NOON
AND THE OUTER COASTAL WATERS BY SUNSET. DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND
SHEAR...AND MODERATE INSTABILITY ARE MARGINALLY SUPPORTIVE OF
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS INCLUDING ISOLATED TORNADOES AND LOCALIZED
FLOODING OF URBAN AREAS...CANALS...AND SMALL STREAMS. VERY
LOCALIZED...MORE SERIOUS FLASH FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE WHERE
TRAINING OF VERY HEAVY RAIN OCCURS. THE MAIN LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS
IS MOVING EAST...BUT THERE HAVE BEEN OCCASIONAL...NEARLY
STATIONARY BANDS OF TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS. HAVE TAPERED THE POP
FROM CHANCE CATEGORY WEST TO CATEGORICAL CENTRAL AND EAST...WITH A
DRYING TREND FROM THE WEST DURING THE DAY AS THE FRONT PUSHES
THROUGH.

DRY AND COOLER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
FROM THE WEST TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.

LONG TERM...

A GENERALLY CALMER WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE
WILL CARVE OUT A DEEPER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN STATES
SUNDAY...BUT THIS WILL QUICKLY DEAMPLIFY AND MOVE EAST BY MONDAY.
A REINFORCING COLD FRONT FOLLOWED BY COOL HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED
SATURDAY WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF CLOUDS AND NO PRECIPITATION
EXPECTED. ONLY A BRIEF PERIOD OF SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN NORMAL
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED ON SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...THEN
A RETURN TO THE TYPICAL ABOVE NORMAL WINTER OF 2011/2012
TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN.

ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL PASS WELL TO THE NORTH ON TUESDAY
WHICH WILL NOT SEND A COLD FRONT OUR WAY...THEN THE MODELS DIVERGE
QUITE A BIT GOING INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. THE ECMWF SHOWS A
SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING INTO THE SOUTHWEST CONUS WHILE THE GFS
DEVELOPS A RIDGE. HAVE NOT GONE ANY HIGHER THAN A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
RAIN WITH ANY GIVEN SYSTEM NEXT WEEK AT THIS POINT.

MARINE...

LOW PRESSURE AREA AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY SHOULD PROVIDE A COMBINATION OF TIGHTER PRESSURE
GRADIENT AND MIXING DOWN OF STRONGER WINDS ALOFT TO SUPPORT WINDS
OF 20 TO 25 KNOTS AND SEAS UP TO 7 FEET FOR A PERIOD LATER TODAY
AND TONIGHT. HAVE ISSUED A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FROM 9 AM THROUGH
TONIGHT FOR THE COASTAL WATERS...AND CHANDELEUR AND BRETON SOUNDS.
WIND AND SEAS WILL SUBSIDE ON FRIDAY AS THE HIGH PRESSURE AREA
BUILDS OVER THE AREA.

THE REINFORCEMENT OF HIGH PRESSURE ON SATURDAY WILL CAUSE
NORTHEAST WINDS TO APPROACH 20 KNOTS BRIEFLY AGAIN LATE SATURDAY
NIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. NORTHEAST TO EAST WINDS WILL
REMAIN A BIT BREEZY...NEAR 15 KNOTS...FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD
SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING AS THE STRONGER HIGH
PRESSURE AREA MOVES EAST ACROSS LAND AREAS.
