AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAKE CHARLES LA
947 AM CDT MON APR 14 2014

.UPDATE...THE STRONG COLD FRONT THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
LATER TODAY IS CURRENTLY ALONG A LINE FROM SHREVEPORT TO
HUNTSVILLE. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE OCCURRING ALONG THE
BOUNDARY AND ADDITIONAL STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATER AS
THE FRONT PUSHES INTO A WARMER AND MOIST AIRMASS. THERE REMAINS A
SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WX WHILE THIS OCCURS. A COLDER AIR MASS WILL
QUICKLY MOVE IN BEHIND THE BOUNDARY RETURNING MUCH BELOW NORMAL
TEMPS TO THE REGION.

ONLY A FEW MINOR TWEAKS WERE NEEDED TO THE FORECAST THIS MORNING
REGARDING THE POPS AND TEMPS. ADJUSTED THE POPS DOWN FOR THE REST
OF THE MORNING AND LIFTED TEMPS A FEW DEGREES AS TEMPS ARE ALREADY
RUNNING IN THE LOW TO MID 70S.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 714 AM CDT MON APR 14 2014/

UPDATE...
UPGRADED THE COASTAL WATER HAZARDS TO A GALE WARNING BASED ON LATEST
GUIDANCE TRENDS AND TO MATCH UP WITH SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS.
REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST IS ON TRACK.

RUA

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 706 AM CDT MON APR 14 2014/

DISCUSSION...
14/12Z TAF ISSUANCE.

AVIATION...
COLD FRONT CURRENTLY EXTENDS FM NR MONROE TO NACOGDOCHES SW TO
NEAR AUSTIN...WITH A BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND
AHEAD OF IT. EXPECT MVFR CIGS TO PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE
DAY...WITH SCT SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS DEVELOPING THIS MORNING IN
THE MOIST AIRMASS AHEAD OF THE FRONT. BEST SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES WILL BE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FRONT WHICH WILL MOVE INTO
THE AREA THIS MORNING...REACHING A BPT-AEX LINE BY 15Z-18Z...LCH
BY 18Z-19Z AND LFT/ARA BY 21Z-22Z. SOME STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF
STRONG WIND GUSTS. EXPECT STRONG NWLY WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT WITH
SUSTAINED SPEEDS AROUND 20 KT AND GUSTS TO AROUND 30 KT AT TIMES
DURING THE AFTN AND EVENING.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 516 AM CDT MON APR 14 2014/

DISCUSSION...
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE IS MOVING OUT OF THE PLAINS INTO THE
UPPER MIDWEST. THE TAIL END OF THIS DISTURBANCE HAS PUSHED A
SIGNIFICANT COLD FRONT INTO NORTHEAST TEXAS...AND ALSO PROVIDED
ENOUGH LIFT FOR SOME SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS LAST EVENING. A
SECOND UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE OUT OF THE ROCKIES AND
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TODAY AND TONIGHT. THIS WILL GIVE THE
SURFACE COLD FRONT ANOTHER PUSH TO THE SOUTHEAST AND ENTER THE
SOUTHEAST TEXAS PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA BY MID TO LATE
MORNING AND ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS.

PLENTY OF GULF MOISTURE IN PLACE WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
OVER 1.75 INCHES AND DEW POINTS AROUND 70F. SURFACE CONVERGENCE
SHOULD INCREASE AS FRONT MAKES ITS WAY INTO THE FORECAST
AREA...AND THIS SHOULD BE ABLE TO OVERCOME ANY SMALL CAP THAT
REMAINS IN THE ATMOSPHERE...WITH THE RESULT BEING CLUSTERS OF
SHOWERS AND STORMS THAT SHOULD EVOLVE INTO A LINE AHEAD OF THE
FRONT. STORMS WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED...ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON
WHEN INSTABILITY WILL BE AT ITS GREATEST...AS GOOD UPPER LEVEL
SUPPORT WITH MID LEVEL JET AROUND 50 TO 60 KNOTS...AND BULK SHEAR
AROUND 50 KNOTS...WITH DECENT MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES BETWEEN 6.0
AND 6.5 C/KM. THIS COULD HELP PRODUCE SOME STRONG AND GUSTY
STRAIGHT LINE WINDS WITH THE STORMS. SPC DOES HAVE THE AREA
OUTLINED FOR A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE STORMS TODAY. BEHIND THE
FRONT...TEMPERATURES SHOULD FALL SHARPLY AND HAVE ADJUSTED THE
TEMPERATURE GRID ACCORDINGLY.

UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS QUICKLY BEHIND THE FRONT FROM
WEST TO EAST DURING THE NIGHT AND THIS WILL END SHOWER ACTIVITY
AND REDUCE CLOUD COVER. THERE IS THE TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE OF THE
"BLOOD" MOON TONIGHT THAT BEGINS AROUND 1 AM CDT AND ENDS AROUND
4:30 AM CDT...WITH THE TOTALITY OCCURRING AROUND 2:45 AM CDT.
AREAS OVER SOUTHEAST TEXAS ARE EXPECTED TO CLEAR BEFORE MIDNIGHT
AND WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE TO SEE THIS. AREAS FROM THE SABINE
TO ROUGHLY AN ALEXANDRIA TO LAKE CHARLES LINE WILL BEGIN TO CLEAR
AROUND THE START OF THE ECLIPSE...SO WILL HAVE ABOUT A 50/50
CHANCE OF SEEING THIS FEATURE. THOSE TO THE EAST OVER ACADIANA MAY
BE A LITTLE BIT MORE UNFORTUNATE AT CLEARING MAY NOT TAKE PLACE
UNTIL AFTER THE ECLIPSE HAS OCCURRED.

SURFACE RIDGE EXTENDING FROM THE MIDWEST TO THE GULF COAST WILL
SETTLE OVER THE REGION ON TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY
MORNING. THE AIR MASS WITH THIS FEATURE WILL BE UNSEASONABLY COLD
WITH POTENTIAL FOR COOLEST HIGHS ON TUESDAY...AND RECORD LOWS ON
TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. THESE RECORDS ARE NOTED IN
THE CLIMATE SECTION BELOW. SOME OF THE USUAL COLD SPOTS IN THE
LAKES AREA OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND CENTRAL LOUISIANA MAY EVEN FLIRT
WITH THE FREEZING MARK...AND THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY STARTED THEIR
SPRING PLANTING WILL WANT TO TAKE SPECIAL NOTE OF THIS.

THE HIGH WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EAST ON WEDNESDAY...AND THIS WILL
BEGIN A WARMING TREND.

FORECAST AT THE END OF THE WEEK INTO EASTER WEEKEND IS A LITTLE
MORE UNCERTAIN...AS THERE ARE DIFFERENCES IN THE GUIDANCE. AT THIS
TIME WILL BROAD BRUSH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS THROUGH THAT PERIOD...AS
SOUTHERN JET LOOKS TO BE ON THE ACTIVE SIDE WITH A SERIES OF
PACIFIC FRONTS.

RUA

MARINE...
SOUTHERLY WINDS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS WILL BEGIN TO RELAX A
LITTLE THIS MORNING AS GRADIENT DECREASES AHEAD OF A SHARP COLD
FRONT MOVING SOUTHEAST OUT OF TEXAS. THIS FRONT WILL KICK OFF SOME
SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS LATER THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON.
WITH SOME OF THE STORMS COULD BE ON THE STRONG SIDE WITH GUSTY
WINDS AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING.

BEHIND THE FRONT...NORTHERLY WINDS WILL DEVELOP. WITH AN UNUSUALLY
COLD AIR MASS MOVING DOWN OVER WARMER GULF WATERS...THE WINDS WILL
BE RATHER STRONG AND GUSTY. SUSTAINED WINDS WILL BE 20 TO 30
KNOTS...WITH FREQUENT GUSTS OVER 35 KNOTS (GALE FORCE) ESPECIALLY
OFFSHORE. THEREFORE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL
DEFINITELY OVERTAKE THE COASTAL WATERS FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON
INTO THE EVENING HOURS. WITH FREQUENT GUSTS OVER GALE FORCE...HAVE
OPTED FOR A GALE WATCH FOR THE OUTER WATER DURING THAT TIME
FRAME...WHICH MAY NEED TO BE UPGRADED TO A GALE WARNING THIS
MORNING. ALSO...THE STRONG NORTH WINDS WILL PUSH WATER AWAY FROM
THE COAST...PRODUCING LOW WATER CONDITIONS FOR THE COASTAL LAKES
AND BAYS...ESPECIALLY DURING LOW TIDE TONIGHT.

WINDS WILL DECREASE LATE TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE HIGH
PRESSURE SYSTEM SETTLES OVER THE REGION.
