NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
844 PM CDT MON JUN 11 2012

.SOUNDING DISCUSSION...
NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS EVENINGS FLIGHT. PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH
MODERATE CUMULUS CLOUDS WERE OBSERVED AT RELEASE. THE SOUNDING
IS SATURATED OR NEARLY SATURATED FROM 895MB THROUGH CLOSE TO
840MB. THE SOUNDING DRIES ABOVE 780MB. THE PW VALUE WAS INDICATED
AT 1.88 INCHES. THE FREEZING LEVEL WAS NEAR 15500 FEET. THE
ENVIRONMENT IS EXTREMELY UNSTABLE THIS EVENING. THE TOTAL TOTALS
VALUE OF 55 INDICATES WIDELY SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. THE

PARISHES NORTH OF LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF
TUESDAY. THESE STORMS HAVE HAD A HISTORY OF DAMAGING WINDS AND
LARGE HAIL OVER NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI. MEAN LOW LEVEL

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 411 PM CDT MON JUN 11 2012/

SYNOPSIS...
UPPER LOW HAS MOVED OUT OF THE AREA AND IS NOW SITUATED OVER THE
APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS. ANOTHER LARGE UPPER LOW IS MOVING EASTWARD
ACROSS THE U.S/CANADA BORDER. FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS SITUATED ACROSS
WISCONSIN DOWN THROUGH TEXAS. A MCS IS CURRENTLY ONGOING ACROSS
THE MID SOUTH AND HIGH PRESSURE IS LOCATED OVER THE NORTHWEST U.S.

DISCUSSION...
LATEST SAT IMAGERY SHOWS A LARGE CU FIELD OVER THE CWA. THERE ARE
A FEW STORMS THAT HAVE DEVELOPED OVER SOUTH CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI.
CONVECTION AROUND HERE SO FAR HAS BEEN LIMITED. WILL CONTINUE TO
CARRY A CHANCE OF A SHOWER OR STORM THROUGH TONIGHT MAINLY FOR THE
MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST. THERE STILL A WEAK CONVERGENCE ZONE ACROSS
THE AREA. CURRENTLY THERE IS AN MCS MOVING SOUTHEAST FROM
TENNESSEE AND ARKANSAS. RIGHT NOW MOST GUIDANCE IS KEEPING
CONVECTION WITH THAT WELL OFF TO THE NORTH THROUGH TONIGHT AND
ALSO DIMINISHES RAIN CHANCES ACROSS THE IMMEDIATE AREA BY 8 PM
TONIGHT. HOWEVER THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY THAT IS CREATED BY THAT MCS
COULD CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHWARD AND CONTINUE TO TRIGGER SHOWERS
AND STORMS THROUGH LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. THIS
WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED AS SOME SHORT RANGE MESO MODELS HAS A
LINE OF STORMS KNOCKING ON THE DOOR OF MISSISSIPPI COAST BY EARLY
TUESDAY MORNING.

MODELS SAG ANOTHER BOUNDARY ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST LATE TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY AND THEN DISSIPATES AS IT DRIFTS SOUTH. THIS WILL
CONTINUE TO BE THE FOCUS FOR SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY 30 TO 40 PERCENT
CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE WEEK. DEVELOPMENT WILL BE
MOSTLY DUE TO SEA BREEZE AND DIURNAL DEVICES. MODEL FORECAST SOUNDINGS
CONTINUE TO SUGGEST PW VALUES WILL REMAIN IN THE 1.5 TO 2.0 INCH
RANGE THROUGH MOST OF THE PERIOD. THE VERY MOIST AIR MASS WILL
CONTINUE TO BE CAPABLE OF LEADING TO LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WITH
SOME OF THE STRONGER/HEAVIER AFTERNOON STORMS. 13/MH

AVIATION...
CU FIELD HAS COMPLETELY ENGULFED THE AREA LENDING TO MOSTLY HIGH
END MVFR CIGS. DAYTIME HEATING MAY LEAD TO A FEW AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORMS. SO HAVE LEFT IN PREVIOUS TEMPO GROUPS FOR TSRA.
LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS ALONG WITH AMPLE SOIL MOISTURE MAY RESULT
IN LIGHT FOG OVERNIGHT. THEN SW WINDS TO INCREASE TOMORROW MID
MORNING.

MEFFER

MARINE...
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA. EXPECT A CONTINUED
DOWNWARD TREND IN BOTH WINDS AND SEAS THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.
WINDS SHOULD GENERALLY BE 10 KTS OR LESS ACROSS THE COASTAL
WATERS WITH SEAS 2 FT OR LESS. THESE MORE TRANQUIL CONDITIONS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
CONVECTION EXPECTED EACH DAY WINDS/SEAS WILL BE HIGHER IN THE
VICINITY OF ANY THUNDERSTORMS. 13/MH
