AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
748 PM CST TUE FEB 25 2014

.SOUNDING DISCUSSION...
SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT SHOWS A VERY SATURATED COLUMN WITH SMALL
DEWPOINT DEPRESSION THROUGHOUT. THE PRECIP WATER HAS INCREASE BY
50 PERCENT FROM 24 HRS AGO AT 1.5 INCHES. THIS MUCH MOISTURE
WILL BE CONDUCIVE FOR EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCING CELLS AS WELL AS
THE POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY. IN ADDITION...THERE LOOKS
TO BE ENOUGH MID LEVEL INSTABILITY TO SUPPORT THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD IF TEMPS DO NOT FALL MUCH. WINDS
BELOW 10KFT ARE QUITE WEAK.

&&

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 339 PM CST TUE FEB 25 2014/

SYNOPSIS...
LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM CENTRAL
GEORGIA TO SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI TO CENTRAL TEXAS. DEWPOINT
READINGS IN THE UPPER 50S WERE NOTED OVER SOUTHERN
MISSISSIPPI...COASTAL MISSISSIPPI AND FLORIDA PARISHES OF LOUISIANA
AND 60 TO 67 DEGREE RANGE OVER SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA SOUTH OF LAKE
PONTCHARTRAIN. 12Z PLANER MOISTURE FIELD SHOWED 1 INCH VALUES
POOLING ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND 1.2 TO 1.4 INCHES ALONG THE
LOUISIANA COAST. 12Z SOUNDING AT SLIDELL REVEALED CAPE VALUE AROUND
800 J/KG WITH GROWTH AREA 700 TO 300MB...5H TEMP AROUND -16C AND
AN INVERSION FROM 800MB TO 750MB. WET BULB ZERO WAS 9.8KFT. ERGO
ANYTHING ABV 12KFT SHOULD GROW AND FEW STORMS MAY CONTAIN SMALL
HAIL. LOW LEVEL VEERING WINDS WERE VERY WEAK THIS MORNING.

UPPER AIR ANALYSIS SHOWED THE NORTHERN STREAM FROM THE UPPER PLAINS
TO OHIO VALLEY AND SUBTROPICAL JET FROM ARIZONA TO TEXAS PANHANDLE
TO FORECAST AREA. EMBEDDED DISTURBANCE IN THE SOUTHERN STREAM FLOW
WERE NOTED OVER MISSISSIPPI...TEXAS PANHANDLE AND ANOTHER SOUTHERN
UTAH. A STRONGER DISTURBANCE WAS NOTED IN THE NORTHERN STORMS OVER
WESTERN MONTANA. 18

SHORT TERM...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON
AND CONTINUE TO THIS EVENING. NOT MUCH CHANGE WITH ATM SOUTH OF THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL YIELD TO A FEW STRONG STORMS CONTAINING SMALL
HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS ACROSS SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA REST OF THIS
AFTERNOON. WITH FRONT PRESSING SOUTH AND MOISTURE ALOFT STREAM WEST
ACROSS TEXAS AND LOUISIANA. RAIN WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE NORTH HALF
OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING TO EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING AND
SHIFT SOUTH TO SOUTH OF LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN AND SOUTH OF COASTAL
MISSISSIPPI AFTER MIDNIGHT AND WEDNESDAY TO NOON. RAINFALL AMOUNTS
OF 1 TO 2 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING
SHOULD NOT EXCEED FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE. HEAVIER AMOUNTS SHOULD
OCCUR ON TOP OF AND SOUTH OF SMALL RIVER BASINS ACROSS THE
FLORIDA PARISHES AND MISSISSIPPI COASTAL COUNTIES. FRONTAL PASSAGE
IS EXPECTED FROM 3AM WEDNESDAY MORNING AT MCB TO 7AM WEDNESDAY
MORNING AT BVE. ERGO...RAIN IS EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT WEDNESDAY
MORNING THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. WILL SEND A SWS TO COVER RAIN
AND IMPACTS TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.

AFTER THE RECENT MILD TO WARM WEATHER...IT WILL BE DRASTICALLY
COLDER ON WEDNESDAY WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES OCCURRING EARLY IN THE
DAY WITH SHARPLY FALLING TEMPERATURES INTO THE 40S DURING THE MID TO
LATE MORNING ACROSS MOST AREAS. AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO RECOVER. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. EVEN WITH CLOUD COVER...VERY STRONG COLD AIR
ADVECTION WILL LIKELY LEAD TO A LIGHT FREEZE OVER AREAS GENERALLY
NORTH OF I-12 IN SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA AND I-10 IN SOUTH MISSISSIPPI.
MANY NATIVE PLANTS AND TREE ARE BUDDING AND A FREEZE WATCH IS
POSSIBLE FOR SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI AND NORTHERN PARTS OF THE
FLORIDA PARISHES THURSDAY MORNING AND POSSIBLY FRIDAY MORNING. 18

LONG TERM...

A WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE OVER SOUTH CENTRAL CONUS
THROUGH THURSDAY. THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL REMAIN
ENTRENCHED OVER THE CENTRAL GULF COAST REGION ON THURSDAY WHICH
SHOULD DEEPEN THE DRY AIR LAYERS AND CAUSE CLOUDS TO MOSTLY CLEAR
OUT. MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES EXPECTED THURSDAY NIGHT SHOULD ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO GET COLD AGAIN WITH A LIGHT FREEZE POSSIBLE AGAIN
ACROSS MANY AREAS NORTH OF BATON ROUGE TO THE NORTHSHORE TO THE
MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST.

THE SOUTHERN STREAM IS EXPECTED TO BECOME ACTIVE AGAIN. A TROUGH IS
EXPECTED TO APPROACH THE WEST COAST THURSDAY MORNING. SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE EAST ON FRIDAY. THE MAIN FORECAST PROBLEM
FOR FRIDAY IS THE MODELS REALLY HAVE WEAKENED A SHORTWAVE TROUGH
THAT IS EXPECTED TO DAMPEN OUT AS IT MOVES RAPIDLY FROM THE SOUTHERN
ROCKIES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. THE SYSTEM GOING INTO
CONFLUENT FLOW WILL DRASTICALLY CUT THE QPF ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING. WILL ONLY CARRY A SLIGHT CHANCE
OF SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY NIGHT.

SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT SHOULD REMAIN DRY. ANOTHER TROUGH WILL
APPROACH THE WEST COAST SATURDAY MORNING. THIS TROUGH WILL TRACK
EAST REMAINING POSITIVELY TILTED. EURO SHOWS A SMALL DISTURBANCE
AHEAD OF THIS TROUGH ON SUNDAY. GFS HOLDS THE TROUGH TO MONDAY ALONG
WITH EURO BUT NO RAIN TIL MONDAY. WILL HOLD BETTER CHANCES OF RAIN
TIL SUNDAY NIGHT. EURO BRINGS THE FRONT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING WHILE
GFS BRINGS THE FRONT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. 18

ALTHOUGH CONDITIONS HAVE IMPROVED ACROSS THE TERMINALS...HOWEVER...
MVFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE FOR KMSY...KMCB...KHUM...KASD...AND
KNEW THROUGH MID AFTERNOON TODAY WITH CEILINGS HOLDING AROUND 1500
FEET.

COULD STILL SEE KEEP MVFR CONDITIONS FOR KNEW THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE
DAY TODAY. FOR THE MOST PART. COULD SEE A FEW SHOWERS DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS...BUT ANY SIGNIFICANT CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY SHOULD
HOLD OFF UNTIL BEYOND 00Z.

AS COLUMN SATURATES BY LATER THIS EVENING...CEILINGS WILL GRADUALLY
LOWER INTO THE IFR RANGE...BELOW FL010 AROUND OR JUST BEFORE 06Z.
STRONG NORTH WINDS EXPECTED AFTER 12Z WEDNESDAY AS A STRONG COLD
FRONT PUSHES SOUTH OF ALL TERMINALS BY 12Z TOMORROW. MVFR CONDITIONS
WILL CONTINUE TROUGH TOMORROW MORNING WITH A SATURATED STRATUS
CLOUD DECK REMAINING NEAR OR BELOW 1000 FEET ASL. RAIN SHOWERS WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH 18Z TOMORROW. 99
