AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
842 AM CST FRI FEB 10 2012

.UPDATE...

.SOUNDING DISCUSSION...

DEW POINT DATA MISSING BETWEEN 860 AND 822 MB. OTHERWISE NO
PROBLEMS WITH THE FLIGHT MORNING. MOISTURE HAS INCREASED
MODERATELY BUT STILL VERY STABLE WITH A PW OF 0.71 INCHES AND AN
LI OF 7.9. AN OVERCAST STRATUS CLOUD DECK AT 8500 FEET WHERE DEW
POINT DEPRESSIONS ARE AROUND ZERO DEGREES. A VERY SHALLOW
NORTHEASTERLY FLOW IN THE LOWEST LEVELS WITH A STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW IN PLACE FROM THE LOWER LEVELS UP THROUGH THE UPPER LEVELS. A
VERY STRONG 142 KNOT SOUTHWESTERLY JET IN PLACE AT 210 MB.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 355 AM CST FRI FEB 10 2012/

..MARDI GRAS PARADES LOOK TO BE WET TONIGHT AND COLD SATURDAY
NIGHT...

SHORT TERM...RAIN MOVED INTO THE REGION MUCH FASTER THAN WE
THOUGHT. THIS IS DUE TO WHAT LOOKS LIKE IMPRESSIVE ISENTROPIC
UPGLIDE AROUND THE 290-295K LVL. THIS ALLOWED MOST LOCATIONS TO
MEASURE BEFORE MIDNIGHT. AS FOR TEMPS...IT HAS BEEN A RELATIVELY
COOL DAMP NIGHT AS TEMPS ARE BASICALLY RANGING FROM THE UPPER 40S TO
MID 50S.

TODAY AND TONIGHT...THINGS LOOK ON TRACK IF NOT EVEN FASTER THAN
PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. OUR S/W IS CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH CNTRL OK/TX
WITH THE COLD FRONT ANALYZED BACK IN WEST TX STRETCHING TO THE SW
FROM A WEAKLY DEFINED SFC WAVE JUST NW OF DFW. THERE IS A DECENT BIT
OF SHRA WELL AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT AND THIS IS MORE ASSOCIATED
WITH THE S/W. THIS WILL BE OUR ISSUE FOR THIS AFTN BUT WE WILL
LIKELY BE DEALING WITH SCT TO NUMEROUS LGT SHRA THIS MORNING
ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE WEST. THE AREA OF ENHANCED ISENTROPIC LIFT
WILL CONTINUE TO OVERSPREAD OUR WRN/NWRN ZONES EARLY THIS MORNING
AND LOOK FOR ACTIVITY TO PICK UP FROM NOW THROUGH AT LEAST 15Z.
AFTER 15Z WE WILL LIKELY MOVE INTO MORE OF A ISENTROPIC DOWNGLIDE OR
NEUTRAL ENVIRONMENT AND THEN JUST WAIT ON THE ADDED FORCING OF THE
S/W WHICH WILL BE THIS AFTN THROUGH THE EVN HRS. H5 HGHTS WILL LOWER
A GOOD 3-4DM B/T 18 AND 00Z TODAY AND WITH PWS HOVERING RIGHT AROUND
AN INCH...THAT MUCH LIFT IN THE MID LVL SHOULD EASILY SQUEEZE OUT
WIDESPREAD SHRA. NOW EVEN THOUGH THERE WILL BE PRETTY GOOD COVERAGE
OF SHRA WE ARE NOT EXPECTING MUCH RAINFALL ACCUMULATION. PWS ARE
STILL NOT IMPRESSIVE...H85 THETA E VALUES ARE QUITE LOW(MAYBE
315K)...WE WILL BE UNDER THE WRONG QUAD OF THE UPPER JET...AND
INSTABILITY IS QUIET LAME SO THE SHRA WILL NOT BE VERY EFFICIENT.

AS FOR CONCERNS TONIGHT WITH REGARDS TO MARDI GRAS PARADES...LOOK
FOR MAINLY LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN WITH PRETTY COOL TEMPS. HIGHS
TODAY WILL BE BELOW NORMAL THANKS TO BOTH COOLER LL TEMPS AND
EXPANSIVE CLOUD COVER/RAIN. H925 TEMPS ARE ONLY EXPECTED TO BE
AROUND 8-10C AND THIS SHOULD TRANSLATE TO HIGHS WITHIN 2 DEGREES ON
EITHER SIDE OF 60 BUT BY 00Z JUST ABOUT EVERYONE SHOULD BE IN THE
MID 50S POSSIBLY NEAR 50 ACROSS SWRN MS. LUCKILY THE COLD FRONT WILL
STILL BE WEST OF THE AREA SO TEMPS WON'T DROP QUICKLY DURING THE EVN
HRS. AFTER 6Z THOUGH THAT WILL CHANGE AS THE COLD FRONT SHOULD
QUICKLY BE PUSHING THROUGH THE REGION WITH H925 TEMPS DROPPING FROM
AROUND 6C AT 00Z TO 0-2C BY 12Z.

THIS WEEKEND...LOOK FOR QUIET YET COLD CONDITIONS. IT IS LOOKING
MORE AND MORE LIKELY THAT THE CANADIAN AIRMASS WILL BE ABLE TO
PLUNGE ALL THE WAY TO THE GULF NOW ON SAT. CAA WILL BE ONGOING
THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND INTO THE EVN HRS. H925 TEMPS MAY DROP TO -5C
OVER THE SWRN MS COUNTIES BY MIDDAY AND THIS COULD TRANSLATE TO
HIGHS STRUGGLING TO GET MUCH ABV THE LOWER 40S IN THAT AREA WITH
LOWER 50S AT BEST ACROSS THE SRN HALF OF THE CWA. MUCH DRIER AIR
WILL WORK INTO THE REGION WITH DEWPOINTS EXPECTED IN THE LOWER TEENS
BY SUN MORNING...THIS ALONG WITH A CANADIAN AIRMASS MOVING IN COULD
ACTUALLY LEAD TO SOME OF THE COLDEST TEMPS WE HAVE SEEN THIS ENTIRE
SEASON BUT AT THE VERY LEAST THE COLDEST TEMPS WE HAVE SEEN IN ABOUT
A MONTH. SAT NIGHT WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE A RADIATIONAL COOLING
NIGHT AS THE LL WINDS WILL NOT DECOUPLE...AND TYPICALLY IN THESE
COLD AIRMASSES THEY NEVER DO BUT THE CAA WILL BE MORE THAN
SUFFICIENT AND WITH TEMPS LIKELY STARTING OFF AROUND 40 TO 50 BEFORE
SUNSET TEMPS WILL HAVE A GOOD STARTING OFF POINT AND ALREADY BE ON
THEIR WAY DOWN. IT WONT TAKE VERY LONG FOR TEMPS TO GET DOWN TO NEAR
FREEZING IN SOME LOCATIONS. RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE A MODERATE TO
EVEN HARD FREEZE IS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NRN HALF OF THE AREA WHILE A
LIGHT FREEZE COULD IMPACT MUCH OF THE SRN HALF OF THE CWA INCLUDING
THE SOUTHSHORE. TYPICALLY THIS WOULDN'T BE THAT BIG OF AN ISSUE BUT
GIVEN HOW WARM IT HAS BEEN THIS YEAR WHICH HAS ALLOWED FOR DECENT
GROWTH VEGETATION/CROP WISE AND ANYWHERE FROM 30 DAYS OR MORE SINCE
THE LAST FREEZE WE WILL NEED TO ISSUE A FREEZE WARNING AT THE LEAST
IF NOT A HARD FREEZE WARNING FOR SOME AREAS. DAY SHIFT WILL LOOK AT
THAT SOME MORE AND MAY MAKE THE CALL TO ISSUE THE WARNINGS. /CAB/

LONG TERM...OVERALL NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED IN THE THINKING IN THE
EXTENDED. THE ECMWF AND GFS CONTINUE TO SHOW TWO SYSTEMS COMING
THROUGH NEXT WEEK WITH ONLY SOME SLIGHT TIMING ISSUES WITH THE
SECOND SYSTEM LATER IN THE WEEK. OVERALL CONFIDENCE IS HIGH IN A
MOSTLY WET AND SLIGHTLY ABV NORMAL FCST. WILL STICK VERY CLOSE TO
THE LATEST MEX GUI.

THE NEXT CHANCE FOR RAIN COMES AT US QUICK AND WILL IMPACT THE
REGION BY MIDDAY/AFTN MON. THE UPPER LOW CURRENTLY NEAR THE BAJA
WILL OPEN UP AS EXPECTED LATE SAT AND AND LIFT OUT TO THE NE AND
LATER MERGE OVER TX WITH A PAC S/W EXPECTED TO COME ONSHORE SAT
NIGHT. THIS ENERGY WILL MOVE ACROSS THE LOWER MS VALLEY MON AFTN AND
EVN. ONCE AGAIN INSTABILITY IS QUITE LACKING BUT WITH A DRASTIC
INCREASE IN PAC MOISTURE COMING IN SHRA SHOULD NOT HAVE A PROBLEM
DEVELOPING WITH THIS WAVE. SCT SHRA COULD PERSIST INTO THE MORNING
HRS TUES BUT WE SHOULD START DRYING OUT AS THE DISTURBANCE PULLS
AWAY.

THINGS BECOME A LITTLE MORE UNCERTAIN BY MID/LATE WEEK. THE NEXT
POTENT PAC ENERGY WILL ACROSS THE WRN CONUS AND THE QUESTION IS HOW
FAR SOUTH DOES IT DIG. EITHER WAY WE WILL START TO MOVE BACK UNDER
SW FLOW ALOFT WITH BROAD LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING AT THE SFC OVER ERN
TX AND THE NWRN GULF. THIS WILL LEAD TO A STATIONARY BNDRY DRAPED
NEAR THE REGION. THAT ALONG WITH THE SW FLOW ALOFT WILL PROVIDE BOTH
A FOCUS IN THE LL AND BROAD LIFT ALOFT WHICH COULD LEAD TO DECENT
COVERAGE OF RAIN LATE WED AND THU. INSTABILITY EVEN LOOKS TO
INCREASE SO TSRA WILL LIKELY BEGIN TO RETURN. IF CURRENT MDLS HOLD
ONTO TO SOME CONSISTENCY AND CONTINUE TO SHOW A SLOW EVOLVING
PATTERN WITH A GULF LOW FINALLY DEVELOPING LATE THU WE COULD SEE A
MORE PROLONGED RAIN EVENT THIS TIME. AGAIN THE MDLS ARE STRUGGLING
WITH THIS MUCH ENERGY MOVING INTO THE REGION SO THE FCST AT DAYS 6-7
WILL LIKELY BE CHANGING SIGNIFICANTLY FROM DAY TO DAY. /CAB/

AVIATION...VFR CEILINGS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH AT LEAST MOST OF THE
MORNING HOURS...WITH MVFR VISIBILITIES POSSIBLE IN PRECIPITATION.
WINDS WILL BE GENERALLY LIGHT AND VARIABLE DUE TO HIGH PRESSURE
CENTERED NEAR THE AREA. OVERRUNNING SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL KEEP
MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA UNTIL SHORTWAVE PASSAGE EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING. CEILINGS WILL GRADUALLY LOWER INTO THE MVFR RANGE DURING
THE DAYTIME HOURS TODAY...BUT ARE NOT EXPECTED TO FALL INTO THE IFR
RANGE. FOR THE 12Z PACKAGE...CONDITIONS SHOULD START IMPROVING FROM
NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST AFTER 06Z SATURDAY. /35/

MARINE...FORECAST WINDS AND SEAS WILL INCREASE GREATLY OVER THE
WEEKEND AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE COASTAL WATERS. EXERCISE
CAUTION CONDITIONS WILL PROBABLY NEED TO BE RAISED LATE TONIGHT
AFTER THE PASSAGE OF THE SHORTWAVE OVER WESTERN WATERS...AND SPREAD
TO ALL OPEN WATERS SATURDAY MORNING. ADVISORIES MAY NEED TO BE
ISSUED LATER TODAY. CONDITIONS WILL MORE THAN LIKELY CONTINUE TO
WARRANT EXERCISE CAUTION ON THE LAKES AND SOUNDS SATURDAY AND
SATURDAY EVENING ALONG WITH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES FOR THE INNER AND
OUTER COASTAL WATERS. WINDS WILL LIKELY BE IN THE 15 TO 20 KNOT
RANGE ON THE LAKE AND IN THE 20 TO 25 KNOT RANGE OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS. FORECAST SEAS RANGE FROM 4 TO 5 FEET OVER THE INNER WATERS
AND 5 TO 8 FEET OVER THE OUTER WATERS SATURDAY NIGHT...POSSIBLY
PEAKING AROUND 9 FEET SUNDAY MORNING.  ONCE THE SYSTEM MOVES
THROUGH...RETURN FLOW WILL BEGIN ON MONDAY BEFORE THE NEXT SYSTEM
PASSES ON TUESDAY. /35/
