.UPDATE...
HAVE EXTENDED THE WIND ADVISORY FOR S-CNTL LA UNTIL 1000Z BASED ON
LATEST SFC OBS.

25

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1149 PM CST TUE JAN 29 2013/

AVIATION...THE COLD FRONT IS MAKING GOOD PROGRESS INTO SOUTHEAST
TEXAS AND WILL BE PASSING BPT AND AEX IN ABOUT AN HOUR OR SO.
THERE STILL LOOKS TO BE A POTENTIAL FOR STRONG WINDS AND LIFR
MAINLY CIGS. IMPROVEMENT TO VFR ABOUT 3 HOURS LATER. LCH SHOULD
ENCOUNTER THE FRONT BY 09Z WITH IMPROVEMENT TO VFR IMMEDIATELY
FOLLOWING.

LFT AND ARA BY 11Z WITH BETTER MOISTURE TO THE EAST SO SLOWER IMPROVEMENT
TO MVFR FOLLOWING THE FROPA, CAVOK BY MID- DAY AS THE FRONT MOVES
INTO BETTER MOISTURE. STRONG GUSTY WINDS AFTER MID- MORNING FOR
ALL.

SWEENEY

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 857 PM CST TUE JAN 29 2013/

DISCUSSION...
SFC OBS INDICATE THAT GRADIENT WINDS REMAIN AROUND 20 MPH FROM
I-10 SOUTH TO THE COAST...THEREFORE EXTENDED/RE-ISSUED THE WIND
ADVISORY FOR THIS AREA THROUGH MIDNIGHT. ACROSS THE NRN 1/2 OF THE
AREA...WILL CERTAINLY SEE CRITERIA WINDS IN CONVECTIVE GUSTS BUT
SUSTAINED GRADIENT WINDS HAVE DROPPED BELOW 20 MPH SO ALLOWED THE
ADVISORY TO EXPIRE ON TIME.

LOCAL 88DS SHOW PLENTIFUL SHOWERS...WITH INCREASING THUNDER...
MOVING ACROSS CNTL LA. MEANWHILE REGIONAL 88DS SHOW NUMEROUS
STRONG/SEVERE STORMS ALONG THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT STRETCHING
FROM NEAR KSHV TO KLFK TO KCXO. REGIONAL 00Z SOUNDINGS SHOW AN
ATMOSPHERE MORE THAN READY FOR SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL THIS
EVENING...SFC DEWPOINTS ABOVE 20C/COPIOUS MOISTURE THROUGH 800MB/
GOOD DRY SLOT ALOFT/VERY UNSTABLE/RIDICULOUS WINDS JUST OFF THE
SFC/HELICITY VALUES A0A 400. ABOUT THE ONLY SAVING GRACE RIGHT NOW
IS THAT NEITHER THE KPOE/KLCH 88D VWP SHOWS MUCH LOW-LEVEL VEERING
ATTM...ALTHOUGH REGIONAL 88DS SHOW THIS VEERING IS CERTAINLY
ENOUGH FOR SOLID ROTATION WITHIN CELLS. THIS WAS A LOT OF TALK TO
BASICALLY SAY THAT INHERITED GRIDS/FORECASTS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE AS
IS AND NO CHANGES WILL BE NEEDED AS FAR AS POPS/WX.

ZONES WILL BE UPDATED SHORTLY TO HEADLINE WIND ADVISORY. STAY
TUNED FOR FURTHER UPDATES SHOULD CONVECTIVE WATCHES BECOME A
REALITY.

25

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 610 PM CST TUE JAN 29 2013/

AVIATION...IR IMAGERY SHOWING THE COLD FRONT MOVING INTO EAST
TEXAS SOMEWHAT SLOWER THAN PROGGED YET AT A SWIFT 40 MPH TOWARDS
THE SOUTHEAST. MADE MINOR ADJUSTMENT TO THE ONGOING TAFS TO DELAY
THE PREFRONTAL SQUALL LINE OF STRONG TSTMS 04Z FOR BPT, 06Z FOR
AEX, 07Z FOR LCH, 08Z FOR LFT AND ARA. TEMPO LIFR WITH G35KTS
AROUND THESE TIMES.

THE ACTUAL FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PASS BPT AT 08Z, LCH AT 10Z, AEX
AT 11Z, ARA AND LFT AT 12Z WITH RAPID IMPROVEMENT TO VFR. GUSTY NW
WINDS BY MID-MORNING WITH THE DAY TIME MIXING WITH GUSTS TO 30
KNOTS. THERE COULD BE SOME FURTHER SLOWING OF THE SQALL LINE WHICH
WOULD MEAN AN ADDITIONAL ADUSTMENT MAKING US WAIT A BIT BUT TO BE
PRUDENT WENT WITH EXTRAPOLATION ANTICIPATION (IE CARLY SIMON).

SWEENEY

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 231 PM CST TUE JAN 29 2013/

SYNOPSIS...
THE BREAKDOWN IN HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE WESTERN GULF OF MEXICO
WILL ALLOW A CANADIAN FRONT TO TRAVEL THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA
DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

FURTHER UP...A PROGRESSIVE LOW INDEX WAVE PATTERN DESCRIBES THE
CONFIGURATION OF THE MIDLATITUDE WESTERLIES...A TRAVELING UPSTREAM
TROUGH MOVING THROUGH TEXAS...AND A TRAVELING DOWNSTREAM RIDGE
MOVING TOWARD BERMUDA.

DISCUSSION...
ORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT.

THE ENVIRONMENT WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR WEDGE IS AS FOLLOWS:

A HORSESHOE HODOGRAPH (LOW LEVEL JET AROUND 50 KNOTS) WILL BE
FOUND IN THE PRE-FRONTAL WARM SECTOR WEDGE. ITS ATTENDANT LIFT
WILL PHASE IN WITH THE LIFT ATTENDING A PACIFIC SOUTHWESTERLY JET
STREAK (THE ENTRANCE REGION). THE COMBINED LIFTS WILL BRING ABOUT
A NET VERTICAL DISPLACEMENT OF THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE.

MOISTURE WILL BE PLENTIFUL WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR WEDGE. ONGOING
ADVECTIVE MOISTENING WILL INCREASE THE PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES TO
AROUND 1.7 INCHES (WHICH IS OVER TWO STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE
NORMAL FOR LATE JANUARY).

THE LIMITING FACTOR FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION WILL BE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY.
DYNAMIC INSTABILITY (NAMELY LOW LEVEL WARMING OF ABOUT 5 C DEGREES
IN 24 HOURS) WILL BE THE PRIMARY OVERTURNING MECHANISM. MIXED
LAYER CAPES (BETWEEN 500 AND 1000 J PER KG) ARE POSSIBLE DURING
THE EVENING HOURS...DUE TO MODERATE SURFACE WINDS.

MARINE...
CARIBBEAN AIR CONTINUES TO STREAM INTO THE WESTERN UPPER GULF COAST
STATES...BEING STEERED NORTHWARD BY THE OUTER WARM-SIDE CIRCULATION
OF THE ATLANTIC DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE (NOT MENTIONED ABOVE).

THIS RICH SUBTROPICAL AIR (WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S) CONTINUES
SLIDING OVER THE RELATIVELY COOL NEARSHORE WATERS (SEA SURFACE
TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 50S). CONTACT COOLING WILL CHILL THE
OVERSLIDING CAMPECHE/CARIBBEAN AIR TO SATURATION.

SEA FOG MAY RETURN OVER THE NEARSHORE WATERS THIS EVENING
QUICKLY MIXING OUT WITH PASSAGE OF CANADIAN FRONT.
