...WINDS SLOWLY DIMINISHING ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA...

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
122 PM CST TUE JAN 29 2013

.AVIATION...
INCREASING WINDS HAVE HELPED TO DIMINISH FOG ACROSS MUCH OF THE
AREA. GUSTS INTO THE 20 TO 25 KNOT RANGE WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS
AFTERNOON. ELEVATED WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE NIGHT. A SQUALL
LINE IS STILL EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE TERMINALS TONIGHT AS THE
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. WILL INCLUDE TEMPO GROUPS IN AN
ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE THE MOST LIKELY TIMING OF THUNDERSTORMS.
CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE TO VFR AT THE END OF THE PERIOD FOR
PROBABLY ONLY BTR. THE REST OF THE TERMINALS WILL BE IN THE EARLY
AFTN TMR.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 708 AM CST TUE JAN 29 2013/

SOUNDING DISCUSSION...
NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS MORNINGS FLIGHT. THE SKY WAS BROKEN AT
RELEASE WITH A LAYER OF STRATOCUMULUS NEAR 017K FEET. MOISTURE IS
IN PLACE IN THE LOW LEVELS. THE PROFILE IS SATURATED FROM 1000MB
THROUGH 812MB. THERE IS A LARGE AREA OF DRY AIR ABOVE 700MB. THE
PW VALUE WAS AT 0.92 INCHES. THE LIFTED INDEX IS INDICATED AT -2.8.
MEAN LOW LEVEL WINDS FROM THE SURFACE THROUGH 5K FEET ARE FROM
THE SOUTHEAST AT 21KTS. FROM 5K TO 10K THE WINDS REMAIN AT THE
SAME SPEED AND VEER FROM THE SOUTH- SOUTHWEST.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 401 AM CST TUE JAN 29 2013/

DISCUSSION...
THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN OCCURS EARLY IN THE FORECAST PERIOD WITH
THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING.
HOWEVER IN THE VERY NEAR TERM...FOG WILL BE A PROBLEM THROUGH THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS TODAY. ADVECTION FOG WAS OCCURRING OVER THE
NEAR COASTAL WATERS...INLAND LAKES AND ADJACENT LAND AREAS.
HOWEVER WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE MARINE AREAS...THE FOG THIS
MORNING HAS NOT BEEN DENSE AS INCREASING LOW LEVEL WINDS HAVE
ALLOWED FOR ENOUGH MIXING TO KEEP THE FOG ABOVE ADVISORY CRITERIA.
IN MANY CASES A LOW STATUS DECK WAS BEING OBSERVED INSTEAD OF FOG.
OVER LAND THE THE FOG HAS BEEN THE THICKEST ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI
COAST...BUT WAS STILL NOT MEETING ADVISORY CRITERIA AND WAS PATCHY
IN NATURE. WE WILL DROP THE DENSE FOG ADVISORY FOR THE LAND AREAS
WITH THIS FORECAST PACKAGE BUT CONTINUE IT OVER THE NEAR COASTAL MARINE
ZONES UNTIL 10 AM.

BEYOND THE EARLY MORNING HOURS...FAIRLY DEEP SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW WILL INCREASE TODAY AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING DEEP UPPER TROUGH
LOCATED OVER THE ROCKIES EARLY THIS MORNING. THE SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL
TRANSPORT A DEEPENING MOISTURE RICH ATMOSPHERE INTO THE FORECAST
AREA WITH SURFACE DEW POINTS IN THE MID 60S TO NEAR 70. A FEW
SHOWERS MAY OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON AS THE MOISTURE INCREASES ACROSS
THE AREA. THE STAGE WILL BE SET FOR POSSIBLE SEVERE WEATHER
TONIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY AS THE AFOREMENTIONED DEEP UPPER
TROUGH MOVES EAST INTO THE CENTRAL CONUS. LARGE SCALE ASCENT WILL
DEVELOP THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT AS THE UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES.
THE LIFT WILL BE ENHANCED BY A STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET POSITIONED
OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TONIGHT THAT WILL AID
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. IN ADDITION...A STRONG MID LEVEL JET WILL
BE IN PLACE OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND A STRONG LOW
LOWER JET WILL SHIFT EAST ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE OVERNIGHT AND
EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING HOURS. OVERALL...THE JET STRUCTURE WOULD
FAVOR THE GREATEST THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER TO THE NORTH AND
NORTHWEST OF THE LOCAL FORECAST AREA. THE SHEAR WILL BE RATHER
IMPRESSIVE WITH THIS SYSTEM...WITH BULK SHEAR VALUES UPWARD OF 60
KNOTS PRIOR TO THE COLD FRONT PASSAGE. IN ADDITION...HELICITY
VALUES ARE FORECAST TO BE IN THE 300 TO 400 RANGE...WITH THE
HIGHEST VALUES ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA AROUND 06Z
WEDNESDAY. HOWEVER...CAPE VALUES ARE FORECAST TO BE RATHER MEAGER
AND INSTABILITY IS NOT PARTICULARLY IMPRESSIVE. STILL...THE
THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL EXIST IN THIS LOW CAPE AND HIGH
SHEAR ENVIRONMENT WITH THE MAIN THREATS BEING DAMAGING WIND GUSTS
AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. THE GREATEST THREAT PERIOD WILL OCCUR FROM
LATE EVENING ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA
AND THEN SPREAD EASTWARD OVERNIGHT AND INTO THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS WEDNESDAY. MOST OF THE CONVECTION WILL BE EAST AND SOUTHEAST
OF THE AREA BY MIDDAY WEDNESDAY AS THE ASSOCIATED STRONG COLD
FRONT PUSHES EAST OF THE AREA.

BEYOND WEDNESDAY...TRANQUIL WEATHER WILL GENERALLY BE OBSERVED WITH
COOLER AND DRIER CONDITIONS EXPECTED AS NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
PREVAILS. HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE OVER THE REGION IN THE WAKE
OF THE FRONT WILL BE REINFORCED FRIDAY AND AGAIN SUNDAY. MODELS
HAVE TRENDED STRONGER WITH A SHORT WAVE IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW THAT
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION SATURDAY AND ARE NOW INDICATING THE
POSSIBILITY OF SOME LIGHT SHOWERS. AT THIS TIME WE WILL KEEP THE
FORECAST DRY AND CONTINUE TO MONITOR LATER MODEL RUNS FOR RAIN CHANCES
ON SATURDAY. EARLY NEXT WEEK...THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS DIFFER ON
THE HANDLING AND TIMING OF THE NEXT SHORT WAVE TROUGH THAT WILL
IMPACT THE REGION. AT THIS TIME IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE NEXT
SIGNIFICANT CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL NOT OCCUR UNTIL MONDAY NIGHT OR
TUESDAY. 11

MARINE...
WINDS AND SEAS WILL INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.
EXERCISE CAUTION HEADLINES HAVE BEEN HOISTED FOR ALL COASTAL WATERS
BEGINNING NO LATER THAN NOON CST TODAY. CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO
DETERIORATE THROUGH THE EVENING AND SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES ARE IN
EFFECT FOR ALL WATERS EXCEPT LAKES PONTCHARTRAIN AND MAUREPAS
TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY NEED
TO BE EXTENDED IN TIME AND MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED TO THE LAKES BY
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS IMPACT THE AREA IN THE
WAKE OF A COLD FRONT FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH THE WATERS ON
WEDNESDAY. WINDS AND SEAS ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGH
THE FIRST PART OF THURSDAY BEFORE HIGH PRESSURE BECOMES MORE SETTLED
OVER THE AREA AND THE PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES AGAIN. EXPECT THE
HIGH TO GRADUALLY MOVE EASTWARD THROUGH THE WEEKEND. 95
