What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Lake Charles, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Aug 30, 7:50 AM CDT, 21 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 30, 7:50 AM CDT, 21 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAKE CHARLES LA
750 AM CDT SAT AUG 30 2014

.AVIATION UPDATE...REGARDING 12Z TAF ISSUANCE...TROPICAL MOISTURE
CONTINUING TO FEED WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
THIS MORNING. WILL LIKELY SEE DRIER AIR MOVE IN FROM THE WEST THIS
AFTERNOON. UNTIL THEN...IFR AND MVFR WILL BE THE DOMINANT
CONDITIONS IN THE TAFS. RAPID CHANGES WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE IT
CHALLENGING THROUGH THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON BEFORE FINALLY
STABLIZING.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 523 AM CDT SAT AUG 30 2014/

SYNOPSIS...TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL STREAM INTO OUR AREA THROUGH A
WEAKNESS IN THE UPPER RIDGE. PRECIP WATER VALUES EXPECTED WITH OVER
2 STANDARD DEVIATIONS FROM NORMAL INTO EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THIS
WILL RESULT IN LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WITH FLOODING POSSIBLE. A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING.

SHORT TERM...THE EURO LOOKS BEST ON HANDLING THIS MOISTURE OUT OF
THE TROPICS WITH THE ASSOCIATED RAINFALL. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK
FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER THE FORECAST AREA TODAY. NUMEROUS
SHOWERS SHOULD HOLD TEMPS WELL BELOW CLIMO AND SHOULD NOT REACH
ANY HIGHER THAN THE UPPER 80S TODAY. GOOD UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE
THROUGH TODAY AND INTO TONIGHT SHOULD HELP THE RAINFALL PROCESS.

LONG TERM...A RIGHT REAR QUADRANT OF THE POLAR AND SUBTROPICAL
JET WILL LIKELY CREATE ENOUGH AGEOSTROPHIC LIFTING FOR THUNDERSTORMS
OVER THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA ON SUNDAY. THE
SUBTROPICAL BERMUDA RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD WESTWARD INTO EAST TEXAS
LATER ON SUNDAY WITH DRIER AIR AND MORE STABLE CONDITIONS. LABOR
DAY IS LOOKING GOOD WITH ONLY A MINIMAL CHANCE OF SHOWERS.

RAIN CHANCES DECREASE AFTER TUESDAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
CONTINUES TO BUILD OUT OF THE EAST.

HYDROLOGY...EXPECTING NEARLY 3 INCHES OF AREAL AVERAGE RAINFALL
INTO THIS EVENING. LOCALLY UP TO 5 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE. A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING.
