AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAKE CHARLES LA
1230 PM CDT TUE MAY 13 2014

.DISCUSSION...
FOR THE 13/18Z TAF ISSUANCE.

&&

.AVIATION...
A PRE-FRONTAL TROF HAS WORKED ITS WAY TO THE SABINE RIVER VALLEY
WITH A WEAKENING BAND OF MAINLY SHOWERS AND OVERCAST MID LEVEL
CLOUDS. EXPECT MOST OF THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON TO
BE FURTHER EAST OF THIS BOUNDARY...WHERE MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY
IS GREATER...THEREFORE...KLFT/KARA WILL HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF
SEEING STORMS. SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO RE-DEVELOP
LATER THIS EVENING ALONG THE SURFACE COLD FRONT AND AHEAD OF THE
MAIN UPPER LEVEL TROF OVER EAST CENTRAL TEXAS AND MOVE ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT. PREVAILING LIGHT SHOWERS WITH MVFR
CEILINGS AT ALL TAF SITES AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE...WITH LIGHT
SHOWERS AND IFR CEILINGS BEHIND THE FRONT LATE TONIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY MORNING.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 551 AM CDT TUE MAY 13 2014/

DISCUSSION...
QLCS WHICH RACED WELL AHEAD OF SFC FRONT HAS CONTINUED TO STEADILY
WEAKEN DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...THOUGH THE LEADING OUTFLOW HAS
REACHED TO NEAR A KPOE...KLCH...KBPT LINE. ACTIVITY OVER LOUISIANA
REMAINS RATHER SPARSE...AND EVEN ACROSS EAST TEXAS THE MORE
PERSISTENT STRATIFORM RAIN SHIELD JUST CLIPS TYLER AND HARDIN
COUNTIES. RENEWED CONVECTIVE CELLS ARE CONTINUING TO DEVELOP
ACROSS JEFFERSON COUNTY AND THE ADJACENT GULF WATERS IN
ASSOCIATION WITH THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND AMID CONTINUED LIFT
PROVIDED BY A AN UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE LIFTING THROUGH SC/SE TX.

NOT A GREAT DEAL OF CONFIDENCE IN HOW THINGS WILL PLAY OUT TODAY
GIVEN THE MESOSCALE INFLUENCES ALREADY MENTIONED PLUS AN E-W
MOVING BAND OF CONVECTION NEARING THE HOUSTON AREA. GENERALLY
SPEAKING...GREATEST RAIN CHANCES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ACROSS
EAST TEXAS THIS MORNING...WITH PROBABILITIES INCREASING FARTHER
EAST DURING THE AFTERNOON AS THE SLOW MOVING SFC FRONT CONTINUES
TO PUSH EAST. COVERAGE MAY DECREASE FOR A TIME THIS EVENING WITH
THE LOSS OF DIURNAL INSTABILITY...BUT IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE
OVERNIGHT THROUGH WED WITH GREATER PROGGED DEEP LAYER ASCENT. I
HAVE SEEN NOTHING TO SUGGEST THAT WE WILL SEE THE TYPE OF
SUSTAINED RAINFALL THAT IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY ACROSS EAST
TEXAS...AND FFG VALUES ARE RELATIVELY HIGH GIVEN THE RECENT DRY
SPELL.

RAIN CHANCES WILL END FROM WEST TO EAST ON WED AS THE FRONT SWEEPS
THROUGH THE AREA...WITH AN UNSEASONABLY COOL AND DRY POST-FRONTAL
AIRMASS YIELDING TEMPERATURES WELL BELOW NORMAL THU MORNING. A
SLOW MODERATING TREND IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH DRY
AND SEASONAL WEATHER EXPECTED TO START THE NEXT WEEK.

13

MARINE...
LIGHT TO MODERATE SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL GRADUALLY BECOME MORE
EASTERLY THROUGH THE DAY...WITH STRONG NORTH WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP BEHIND A COLD FRONT FORECAST TO CROSS THE
NORTHWEST GULF WATERS ON WEDNESDAY. WINDS AND SEAS WILL BEGIN TO
SUBSIDE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO
THE REGION...WITH SOUTH WINDS RETURNING TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK
AND INTO THE WEEKEND AS THE HIGH SHIFTS OFF TO THE EAST.
