Area forecast discussion, Jan 9, 5:55 PM CST, 1 hour 6 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAKE CHARLES LA
555 PM CST WED JAN 9 2013

.DISCUSSION...
10/00Z TAF ISSUANCE.

&&

.AVIATION...
WIDESPREAD MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN WITH SOME EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS NOTED
ON KLCH 88D LATE THIS AFTERNOON...WITH THE HEAVIEST BAND NOW
APPROACHING KAEX. EXPECT THIS BAND TO CROSS KLFT AND KARA BETWEEN
01Z-04Z BRINGING GUSTY WINDS AND +TSRA. OTHERWISE...RAIN TO PREVAIL
OVERNIGHT WITH VISBYS 2-4SM AND LIFR/IFR CIGS AS A WARM FRONT
LIFTS NORTH ACRS THE AREA. LIGHT TO MODERATE SELY WINDS EXPECTED
AT SRN TAF SITES WITH ELY WINDS AT KAEX EXPECTED TO BECOME SELY
AFTER 06Z. RAIN WILL GRADUALLY END FROM WEST TO EAST ON
THURSDAY...WITH CONDITIONS IMPROVING THURSDAY AFTN AND EVENING.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 357 PM CST WED JAN 9 2013/

..THE RISK FOR FLOODING TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT...

DISCUSSION...
UPPER LEVEL LOW STILL SPINNING NEAR THE BIG BEND OF TEXAS ONLY
MOVING SLOWLY TO THE NORTHEAST. DEEP SOUTHERLY FLOW AROUND THE
UPPER LOW CONTINUES OVER THE FORECAST AREA. THIS SOUTHERLY FLOW
HAS BROUGHT IN AN ABUNDANT OF RICH GULF MOISTURE. THE 09/12Z
UPPER AIR SOUNDING FROM KLCH SHOWED PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES NEAR
1.70 INCHES...CLOSER TO VALUES FOR JUNE AND OVER TWICE THE
STANDARD DEVIATION FOR JANUARY...ALONG WITH MEAN RH AROUND 90
PERCENT. LATEST GPS-MET DATA AND LAPS ANALYSIS STILL SHOWING THE
COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE HANGING AROUND WITH PWAT STILL AROUND
1.70 INCHES. THESE VALUES ARE DEFINITELY GOOD FOR VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL AS LONG AS A MECHANISM TO GET SHOWER ACTIVITY IS
AROUND...AND THIS IS PROVIDED BY DISTURBANCES ROTATING AROUND THE
UPPER LOW AND A DIVERGENT FIELD ALOFT.

BEST RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON IS FALLING ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND
SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA WHERE AT-LEAST 1 TO 3 INCHES HAVE FALLEN SO
FAR. ONE INTENSE RAINBAND ASSOCIATED WITH A MCV...IS PRODUCING GROUND
TRUTH REPORTS OF NEARLY ONE INCH OF RAINFALL IN 15 MINUTES...IS
LIFTING OUT OF LOWER SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND INTO SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA.
THIS IS WHERE THE GREATEST FLOOD RISK WILL BE IN THE NEAR TERM.

THIS ACTIVITY WILL SLOWLY MOVE EASTWARD DURING THE NIGHT AND
DURING THE DAY ON THURSDAY. DRY PUNCH MOVING IN IS EXPECTED TO END
THE HEAVY RAINFALL OVER SOUTHEAST TEXAS BY MIDNIGHT...SOUTHWEST
LOUISIANA AND WEST CENTRAL LOUISIANA BY DAYBREAK AND EAST CENTRAL
AND SOUTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA BY MIDDAY THURSDAY. THEREFORE...FLOOD
WATCHES WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL DRY PUNCH ELIMINATES THE
POSSIBILITY OF HEAVY RAINFALL.

A BRIEF BREAK IN THE RAINFALL IS EXPECTED LATE THURSDAY INTO EARLY
FRIDAY. HOWEVER...LOOKS LIKE MOIST SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL STICK
AROUND THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS SOUTHERN JET REMAINS
ACTIVE. NEXT TROF WILL MOVE DOWN INTO THE REGION LATE ON SATURDAY
AND MOVE SLOWLY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA ON SUNDAY...BEFORE
STALLING OVER THE REGION ON MONDAY. WARM AND MILD CONDITIONS WILL
OCCUR WITH PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS THIS SYSTEM
MOVES ACROSS.

RAIN CHANCES WILL CONTINUE EARLY NEXT WEEK THROUGH THE END OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD BEHIND THE FRONT. ONLY CHANGE WILL BE THE COOLER
TEMPERATURES.

RUA

MARINE...
A SURFACE LOW IS MOVING UP THE TEXAS COAST THIS AFTERNOON.
GRADIENT WITH THIS SYSTEM IS HELPING TO PRODUCE STRONG SOUTHEAST
TO SOUTH WINDS. THESE STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE
SURFACE LOW MOVES OFF TO THE NORTHEAST LATER TONIGHT AND SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL CONTINUE FOR THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH AT-
LEAST MIDNIGHT...WITH WINDS GRADUALLY DECREASING ON THURSDAY AS
THE LOW MOVES AWAY.

WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO OCCUR WITH THIS
SYSTEM. HEAVY RAINFALL IS EXPECTED WITH THE SHOWER ACTIVITY THAT
WILL GREATLY REDUCE VISIBILITIES. THE RAIN WILL GRADUALLY END
DURING THE DAY ON THURSDAY AS THE SYSTEM MOVES OFF TO THE EAST.
