AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
427 AM CDT SUN APR 14 2013

.SHORT TERM...
LATEST SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SHOW WARM FRONT DRAPED ALONG THE COASTAL
PARISHES EAST OF VERMILION BAY. STEADY STREAM OF ABUNDANT MOISTURE
CAN BE SEEN ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY OVERRIDING FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM
THE SOUTHWEST. FORECAST POPS...FOR THIS MORNING AT LEAST...QUITE
SIMPLE WITH BASICALLY THE ENTIRE CWA BEING IMPACTED BY SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. DEWPOINTS NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY ARE IN THE MID 50S.
THUS STORMS IN THAT AREA WILL REMAIN ELEVATED. INSTABILITY IS ENOUGH
HOWEVER FOR STRONGER CONVECTION TO PRODUCE HAIL THOUGH REPORTS ALL
NIGHT HAVE BEEN SUB-SEVERE. NOT EXPECTING MUCH CHANGE THROUGHOUT THE
DAY AS THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH LATER THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON.
MESO AND MEDIUM RANGE MODELS INDICATE THAT BULK OF THE RAIN WILL
SHIFT EASTWARD THIS AFTERNOON AS SURFACE LOW DEVELOPS JUST SOUTH THE
LOUISIANA COAST AND TRACKS TOWARDS AL/FL BORDER THIS AFTERNOON.
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL TOTALS IN THE 2 TO 3 INCH RANGE WILL BE
POSSIBLE BUT COULD HAVE HIGHER AMOUNTS IS ISOLATED AREAS.
DID CONTEMPLATE FLOOD WATCH BUT APPEARS THAT THE HEAVIEST RAIN
WILL BE SHIFTING OUT OF AREAS WITH HIGHER AMOUNTS BEFORE
SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL TOTALS WILL OCCUR SO WILL USE FLOOD
ADVISORIES AND WARNINGS FOR MORE INTENSE AREAS OF RAIN.

TEMPERATURE FORECAST NOT AS SIMPLE. THICK CLOUD COVER AND RAIN WILL
IMPEDE WARMING WHILE FRONTAL BOUNDARY LIFTING NORTH WILL RESULT IN
WARMING. MAV CAME IN WITH LOWER 80S ACROSS THE AREA. SEEMS MUCH TO
HIGH. MET WAS ABOUT 5 DEGREES COOLER OVERALL. FCST FOR TODAY IS MET
OR EVEN COOLER THAN THAT. NIGHTTIME LOWS WILL JUMP UP QUITE A BIT
WITH DEWPOINTS ON THE RISE. THAT COMBINED WITH SATURATED GROUNDS
WILL LIKELY LEAD TO WIDESPREAD FOG MONDAY MORNING. THE NEED FOR A
DENSE FOG ADVISORY QUITE PLAUSIBLE.

.LONG TERM...
UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL BEGIN BUILDING OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED
STATES THROUGH MID WEEK AFTER WEAK UPPER TROUGH EJECTS TODAY. EXPECT
WARMEST TEMPERATURES OF THE YEAR SINCE LAST FALL TO IMPACT THE AREA.
HIGHS WILL REACH THE MID 80S BY MONDAY. MODELS KIND OF HINTING AT
ISOLATED SHOWERS ALONG NORTH HALF OF THE CWA. TUES AND WED. PROBS
APPEAR TO BE TOO LOW TO MENTION IN ZONES AT THIS TIME. MOVING INTO
THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK A DEEP LONG WAVE TROUGH WILL TRACK
ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND SEND A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA. POPS ON
THURSDAY HAVE BEEN LOWERED QUITE A BIT FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST AS
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS A SLOWER FRONT THAN BEFORE. HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES
JUST SHIFTED TO THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD AS THE FRONT SWINGS THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL ALSO POSE AS ANOTHER CHANCE FOR STRONG TO
POSSIBLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. CONDITIONS THIS LOOK TO BE CLEAR FOR
THE WEEKEND.

MEFFER

.AVIATION...
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE TO MVFR AND IFR AT MOST OR
ALL TAF AIRPORTS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS WIDESPREAD SHRA/TSRA
CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF COAST REGION. A FEW OF THE
STORMS MAY BRIEFLY PRODUCE HAIL UP TO MARBLE OR PENNY SIZE...BUT THE
CHANCE OF THIS OCCURRING AT A TERMINAL IS VERY LOW. A FEW OF THE
TSRA COULD PRODUCE SOME WIND GUSTS UP TO 30 TO 40 KNOTS AFTER 10-12Z
UNTIL 15-17Z AS THE WARM FRONT MOVES NORTH. THERE IS LOW CONFIDENCE
IN THE LATTER PART OF THE FORECAST PERIOD ON WHETHER VFR WILL RETURN
SUNDAY AFTERNOON OR EVENING. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN
PLACE...SO MVFR TO IFR COULD REFORM SUNDAY EVENING OR OVERNIGHT.
22/TD

&&

.MARINE...
EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO RISE INTO SMALL CRAFT
CRITERIA OVER A GREATER PORTION OF THE MARINE AREA EARLY THIS
MORNING...THEN WINDS WILL START TO EASE OVER WESTERN AND INNER
WATERS BY MIDDAY AS STRONGER WINDS CONTINUE FARTHER OFFSHORE. SMALL
CRAFT EXERCISE CAUTION HEADLINES WILL BE NEEDED FOR THE TIDAL LAKES
AND SOUNDS. THE STRONGER WINDS WILL BE DUE TO AN AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE THAT WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF COAST TODAY.
SEAS WILL RISE INTO 5 TO 7 FEET RANGE OFFSHORE LATER THIS
MORNING...AND WILL LIKELY TAKE UNTIL EARLY EVENING TO DROP BACK
BELOW 7 FEET OVER EASTERN OFFSHORE WATERS. WILL EXTEND THE SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY BY A COUPLE HOURS OVER THE SOUTHEAST AREA...AND END
THE ADVISORY EARLIER IN THE AFTERNOON FOR SOME OF THE WESTERN/INNER
WATERS.

THE LOW WILL DEPART THE AREA TONIGHT LEAVING LIGHTER SOUTH WINDS
ACROSS THE MARINE AREA INTO MONDAY. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL
TIGHTEN UP AGAIN MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS A FAIRLY
STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE CENTRAL STATES. SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AGAIN WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO
THURSDAY...THEN A FAIRLY STRONG COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO SWEEP
THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT WITH STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS POSSIBLE IN THE
WAKE OF THE FRONT. 22/TD
