AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAKE CHARLES LA
1131 PM CST MON FEB 10 2014

.AVIATION...
RAINS TRAILING FROM THE CENTRAL TEXAS COAST INTO SOUTHEAST TEXAS
AND SOUTHERN LOUISIANA THIS EVENING. THIS PATTERN OF MOISTURE IS
RIDING UP AND OVER THE COLD POOL HAS THE CLOUD DECK RANGING FROM
003 TO 013 AND VSBY RANGING FROM ONE MILE TO P6SM. THIS PATTERN
WILL CONTINUE INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. ALSO THE WINDS HAVE PICKUP
AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT HAS TIGHTEN BEHIND THE FRONT THAT MOVED
THROUGH EARLY TODAY. FOR AIRCRAFT AROUND AEX AND LFK THEY SHOULD
EXPECT FREEZING RAIN/DRIZZLE.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 939 PM CST MON FEB 10 2014/

UPDATE...A FRONTAL WAVE OFF THE LOUISIANA COAST WILL EAST,
AMPLIFYING THE NORTHERLY WINDS AND CONTINUING TO DRAW COLDER AIR
INTO THE AIR. ALOFT, A LAYER OF WARMER AIR MARKS THE FRONTAL
INVERSION WHERE ISENTROPIC LIFT IS ACTING UPON ALREADY MOIST AIR
UP TO 12K FEET TO PRODUCE NUMEROUS PATCHES OF LIGHT RAIN.

TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO LOWER TO JUST ABOVE FREEZING ACROSS
INTERIOR SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND CENTRAL LOUISIANA TONIGHT. THE TEMPS
SHOULD HUG THE 40 MARK ALONG THE I-10 CORRIDOR. TEMPERATURE
PROFILES SUPPORT ALL RAIN THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF TONIGHT. OF
COURSE WITH SUCH CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE FREEZING MARK, CONDITIONS
SHOULD BE MONITORED FOR UPGRADING THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY SHOULD
CONDITIONS WARRANT SINCE IT WOULD NOT TAKE MUCH ADDITIONAL COOLING FOR
FREEZING RAIN TO OCCUR.

MARINE...ISSUED A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE WESTERN WATERS IN
THE WAKE OF THE FRONTAL WAVE. NORTHERLY WINDS SHOULD STAY UP THROUGH
THE DAY ON TUESDAY.

SWEENEY

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 715 PM CST MON FEB 10 2014/

AVIATION...
CLOUDY WITH LOW CEILINGS... CEILINGS WILL RANGE FROM 003 TO 009.
IN ADDITION... VSBY WILL RANGE FROM 1 TO 5 MILES FROM FOG AND
RAIN/DRIZZLE THRU 15Z. MVFR/LIFR THRU MID-MORNING. DO NOT EXPECT
MUCH IMPROVEMENT DURING THE DAY.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 340 PM CST MON FEB 10 2014/

DISCUSSION...
AS OF 10/21Z...A SLOWLY MOVING...BUT SHARP CANADIAN COLD FRONT IS
LOCATED FROM ROUGHLY 20 MILES OFF THE SOUTHEAST TEXAS COAST TO
NEAR PATTERSON (KPTN) LOUISIANA. TEMPERATURES BEHIND THE FRONT
HAVE DROPPED INTO THE MID 40S ACROSS THE I-10 CORRIDOR AND UPPER
30S ACROSS CENTRAL LOUISIANA. ACCORDING TO THE VWP AT BOTH KLCH
AND KPOE...THE COLD AIR MASS IS VERY SHALLOW AS WINDS BECOME SOUTH
AGAIN AT ROUGHLY 2K FEET. THIS IS ALLOWING FOR OVER-RUNNING
CLOUDS...DRIZZLE...MIST AND LIGHT RAIN TO OCCUR.

THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF NIGHTS WILL BE
IF ANY ICING WILL OCCUR IN THE FORECAST AREA DUE TO FREEZING RAIN.

1035MB SURFACE HIGH OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS WILL CONTINUE TO SINK
TO THE SOUTHEAST OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. A VERY SHALLOW
NORTHEAST FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR A COLD CANADIAN AIR MASS AT THE
SURFACE. MEANWHILE...AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING OUT OF THE
SOUTHWEST U.S. IN THE FAST ZONAL ALOFT...WILL HELP BRING MOIST
SOUTHWEST FLOW ABOVE THE SURFACE WITH EPISODES OF LIFT TO PROVIDE
A CONTINUATION OF OVER-RIDING CLOUDS ALONG WITH OFF AND ON RAIN.
THE BEST TIMES FOR THE STEADY RAINFALL WILL BE THIS EVENING WITH
THE LEAD DISTURBANCE. THEN PROBABLY THE BEST CHANCE FOR THE
STEADIEST AND HEAVIEST RAINFALL WITH ANOTHER STRONGER DISTURBANCE
TO MOVE ACROSS ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH LIFT
ENHANCED BY RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF UPPER LEVEL JET. THIS MAY
EVEN ALLOW FOR ELEVATED CONVECTION OVER EXTREME SOUTHERN ZONES AND
COASTAL WATERS.

FORECAST SOUNDINGS AND THICKNESS VALUES CONTINUE TO SHOW A LARGE
WARM LAYER BETWEEN 1500M (5000FT) AND 3000M (10000FT) WITH MAX
TEMPERATURES IN THE LAYER BETWEEN 5C (40F) AND 10C (50F.) FREEZING
LAYER ABOVE THE SURFACE...IF IT EXISTS...WILL ONLY BE A FEW
HUNDRED FEET. THEREFORE...ALL PRECIPITATION THAT FALLS OVER THE
NEXT 36 TO 42 HOURS...WILL BE IN THE FORM OF LIQUID. THAT LOOKS TO
BE THE EASY PART. THE TOUGH PART IS FORECASTING THE SURFACE
TEMPERATURES...AND IF ANY FREEZING RAIN THAT MAY OCCUR WILL CAUSE
ANY ICING.

FOR SURFACE TEMPERATURES...WET BULBING SHOULD NOT BE THAT BIG OF A
PROBLEM NOW AS AIR MASS HAS BECOME SATURATED WITH NO REALLY DRY
LAYERS NEAR THE SURFACE. IF ANYTHING...RAIN FALLING FROM THE
STRONG WARM LAYER ALOFT MIGHT ACTUALLY KEEP TEMPERATURES IN CHECK. USED
90P ECMWF SURFACE TEMP...GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN...AND CMC. ALL THESE
VALUES HAVE BEEN VERY CONSISTENT RECENTLY AND IN THE LEAD UP TO
THIS EVENT. THIS PLACES AN AREA NORTH OF A LINE FROM ROUGHLY WOODVILLE
TO JASPER TO BUNKIE...WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING AIR SURFACE
TEMPERATURES AT THE FREEZING MARK LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING. THEREFORE...SOME FREEZING RAIN MAY MIX IN AT TIMES WITH
THE RAIN IN THAT AREA. THEREFORE...HAVE KEPT THE WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY IN PLACE. AMOUNTS STILL LOOK TO BE VERY MUCH ON THE LIGHT
SIDE...WITH ANY ICE ACCUMULATION THAT DOES OCCUR...TO BE ONLY A
FEW HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH...AS RAINFALL DURING TIMES WHEN TEMPS
ARE AT FREEZING...WILL BE LIGHT.

WITH THE CLOUDS AND RAIN...TEMPERATURES WILL NOT "WARM" TOO MUCH
ON TUESDAY. ON TUESDAY NIGHT...AGAIN USED SAME LOGIC AS ABOVE AS
TO THE LOW TEMPERATURES. DURING THE NIGHT...FREEZING LINE MAY
REACH TO JUST NORTH OF THE I-10 CORRIDOR FROM ROUGHLY SOUR LAKE TO
DE QUINCY TO OPELOUSAS...AND AREAS NORTH OF THIS LINE WILL HAVE
THE POTENTIAL FOR FREEZING RAIN...WITH OBVIOUSLY THE BETTER
CHANCES...THE FURTHER NORTH YOU GO. STILL SOME QUESTIONS WITH
THIS SECOND EVENT AS TO HOW MUCH ICE ACCUMULATION MAY TAKE
PLACE...AS BEST MOISTURE WILL BE LIFTING OFF TO THE EAST WHEN
COLDEST TEMPERATURES OCCUR.

AS UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE CONTINUES TO MOVE OFF TO THE EAST ON
EARLY WEDNESDAY...RAINFALL WILL BE ENDING FROM WEST TO EAST.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY MORNING STILL LOOKS TO BE ON THE COLD
SIDE AS THE CANADIAN SURFACE HIGH STILL HOLDS ITS INFLUENCE.
HOWEVER...THE HIGH SHOULD MOVE OFF TO THE EAST ALLOWING FOR A WARM
UP TO BEGIN DURING THE DAY ON THURSDAY. THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK
INTO THE WEEKEND LOOKS NICE WITH WARM TEMPERATURES AND NO RAIN CHANCES.

RUA

MARINE...
COLD FRONT JUST MOVING INTO THE COASTAL WATERS THIS AFTERNOON.
SOME FOG IS STILL OCCURRING JUST OFF THE SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND
SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA COAST. HOWEVER...THIS SHOULD BE SHORT LIVED.
THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SLOWLY SOUTH TONIGHT.
NORTHEAST FLOW IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE AS COLD AIR ADVECTION TAKES
PLACE OVER THE COASTAL WATERS. WILL HEADLINE THE WEST ZONES WITH
SMALL CRAFT EXERCISE CAUTION TO HANDLE THIS.

MODERATE TO BRIEFLY STRONG NORTHEAST FLOW SHOULD OCCUR ON TUESDAY
INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...AS FRONTAL WAVE DEVELOPS ON THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY AND HELPS INCREASE THE PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE
NORTHWEST GULF. AT-LEAST SMALL CRAFT EXERCISE CAUTION WITH THE
POSSIBILITY OF A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR PORTIONS OF THE COASTAL
WATERS DURING THAT TIME FRAME.

WINDS WILL DECREASE ON WEDNESDAY AS THE FRONTAL WAVE MOVES OFF TO
THE EAST. SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED ON THURSDAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE MOVES OFF TO THE EAST.
