Area forecast discussion, May 22, 4:11 AM CDT, 1 hour 5 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAKE CHARLES LA
411 AM CDT WED MAY 22 2013

.DISCUSSION...
AN UPPER LEVEL TROF FROM THE MIDWEST DOWN TO EAST TEXAS WILL MOVE
EASTWARD AND HELP PUSH A WEAK SURFACE COOL FRONTAL BOUNDARY
TOWARD THE FORECAST AREA TODAY. ALREADY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
HAVE FORMED...MAINLY NORTH OF THE I-10...BETWEEN THE PRE-FRONTAL
TROF/CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND THE SURFACE FRONT. WATER
VAPOR SHOWS A JET STREAK MOVING ACROSS...HELPING TO PROVIDE
DECENT UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE...WHICH IS GIVING A BIT OF AN
ENHANCEMENT TO THE STORMS. THERE COULD BE SOME ISOLATED STRONG TO
MARGINAL SEVERE STORMS BETWEEN NOW AND DAWN...WITH HAIL AND
STRAIGHT LINE DOWN BURST WINDS THE MAIN SEVERE ASPECTS.
ALSO...HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT AND A BIT OF A TRAINING TO THE STORMS
COULD PROVIDE SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WITH STREET FLOODING
POSSIBLE. AND FINALLY...FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING WILL
ALSO OCCUR WITH THE STORMS.

THE UPPER LEVEL TROF WILL GRADUALLY PUSH EAST DURING THE
DAY...WITH A MORE STABLE AND SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR MOVING IN BEHIND
IT...WITH SHOWERS GRADUALLY DECREASING FROM WEST TO EAST BY LATE
MORNING TO AFTERNOON.

SURFACE FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL LINGER ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA ON
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...THAT WILL COMBINE WITH GULF MOISTURE AND
DAYTIME HEATING TO PROVIDE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EACH AFTERNOON.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGING IS THEN EXPECTED TO BUILD IN OVER THE HOLIDAY
WEEKEND. THIS SHOULD END ANY RAIN CHANCES.

RUA

&&

.MARINE...
A SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO STALL NORTH OF THE
COASTAL WATERS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. MEANWHILE...HIGH
PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO RIDGE ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO
FROM THE EAST. THE RESULT SHOULD BE MAINLY LIGHT ONSHORE WINDS.
