Area forecast discussion, Nov 16, 12:50 PM CST, 3 hours 24 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
1250 PM CST SUN NOV 16 2014
.SOUNDING DISCUSSION...
18Z SOUNDING MORE UNSTABLE THAN THE 12Z FLIGHT AS EXPECTED.
PW WENT FROM 1.12 TO 1.47 INCHES. LI DOWN TO -0.5 WITH THE
0 TO 3 KM RELATIVE HELICITY INCREASED TO 402 MSQ/SSQ.
IMPRESSIVE LOW LEVEL JET WITH 40KT AT 1800FT. WINDS ARE
MIXING TO THE GROUND AND ALREADY GUSTING TO 32KT AT KMSY
AND 27KT AT KBTR. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD NORTH TO
THE NORTHSHORE AND SW MS AHEAD OF THIS LINE OF STORMS. THE
TAKEAWAY IS WE ARE MORE UNSTABLE WITH THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER PER SPC
AND WELL SUPPORTED BY THE 18Z SOUNDING. THE MAIN THREAT WILL
BE STRONG GUSTY WINDS OVER 60MPH AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
TORNADOES WITH THE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS. STAY TUNED FOR
ANY WATCHES AND WARNINGS THIS AFTERNOON. KEG
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1012 AM CST SUN NOV 16 2014/
UPDATE...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONGOING JUST OFF TO THE WEST OF THE
FORECAST AREA. HAVE UPDATED THE FORECAST TO SHOW THE INCREASE IN
TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER STILL
MAINTAINS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER OVER OUR FORECAST AREA.
THE LATEST HRRR SUGGEST THAT THE BULK OF THE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD
START MOVING INTO THE AREA AFTER NOON IN THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF
THE FORECAST AREA. WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH STORM DEVELOPMENT THIS
AFTERNOON AS THE ATMOSPHERE IS BECOMING MORE UNSTABLE AHEAD OF THE
FRONT. THIS WILL ONLY ADD TO CONVECTIVE STRENGTH LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. 13/MH
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 732 AM CST SUN NOV 16 2014/
SOUNDING DISCUSSION...
MUCH DIFFERENT LOOKING SOUNDING THAN THIS TIME YESTERDAY. SOUTHERLY
FLOW MEASURED FROM THE SFC TO 6800FT THEN SSW FLOW THROUGH MUCH OF
THE ATMO. MOISTURE EVIDENT FROM THE SFC TO 10500FEET WITH A DRY
LATER ABOVE THROUGH 33KFT WHERE SOME UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE WAS
MEASURED. PW UP TO 1.12 INCHES WITH THIS SOUNDING. SEVERE PARAMETERS
NOT THERE YET...HOWEVER THIS SNAP SHOT OF THE ATMO WILL MODIFY THROUGH
THE DAY AND BECOME RIPE FOR SOME THUNDERSTORMS WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE
OF SEVERE WEATHER.
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 420 AM CST SUN NOV 16 2014/
SYNOPSIS...
LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED AN INVERTED TROUGH FROM TEXAS COAST
TO CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI AND A LOW OVER CENTRAL TEXAS. PRECIPITABLE
WATER PLOTS ON A PLANER VIEW REVEALED A SURGE OF MOISTURE WITH
VALUES AROUND 1.25 INCHES ALONG THE CENTRAL TEXAS COAST AT 00Z.
SURFACE DEWPOINT READINGS RANGE FROM THE UPPER 40S ACROSS SOUTH
MISSISSIPPI TO THE MID 50S ALONG THE LOUISIANA COAST. MANY POINTS
HAVE SEEN THEIR MORNING LOWS AND TEMPS CONTINUE TO RISE BEFORE
SUNSET. UPPER AIR ANALYSIS SHOWED A SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OVER THE
SOUTHERN TIER CONUS AND A POSITIVELY TILTED TROUGH FROM THE
MINNESOTA TO THE GREAT BASIN. ISOTACH ANALYSIS AT 250MB SHOWED A
JET MAX AROUND 140 KNOTS ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE WAVE...FROM
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TO NORTHERN NEW MEXICO. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
SHOWED DARKENING OR VIGOROUS DISTURBANCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE JET
MAX OVER SOUTHERN NEVADA AND ANOTHER DISTURBANCE OVER WESTERN
MONTANA. REGIONAL RADARS CONTINUE TO SHOW AN INCREASE IN COVERAGE
OF SHOWERS FROM NORTH MISSISSIPPI TO NORTH LOUISIANA TO SOUTHEAST
TEXAS.
DISCUSSION...
SURFACE INVERTED TROUGH WILL SLOWLY EVOLVE INTO A LOW OVER
SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI/CENTRAL LOUISIANA. SURFACE DEWPOINT WILL
INCREASE INTO THE 60S AND POOL ALONG TO THE TROUGH AXIS TODAY AND
PLACING MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA IN THE WARM SECTOR. SURFACE
WINDS WILL BECOME SOUTHERLY TODAY. THE APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH WILL MAINTAIN A SOUTHWEST FLOW OF 50 TO 60 KNOTS 500 TO
200MB OVER FORECAST AREA. VEERING WINDS WINDS TODAY SHOW INCREASE
OF LL HELICITY VALUES 300 TO 500 M/S ACROSS THE NORTH HALF OF
FORECAST AREA...ACCORDING TO GFS. HOWEVER...MEANINGFUL CAPE VALUES
RANGE FROM 100 TO 700J/KG ACROSS SOUTH MISSISSIPPI AND EAST
CENTRAL LOUISIANA THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THIS EVENING. AT THE SAME
TIME...PW VALUES WILL POOL ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND AHEAD OF
THE MAIN TROUGH WITH VALUES UP TO 1.75 INCHES. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS
AND EMBEDDED TS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE NORTHWEST ZONES THIS
AFTERNOON AND SLOW MOVE EAST THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. AS A
RESULT...WILL MAINTAIN CATEGORICAL RAIN CHANCES WITH THIS SYSTEM
PRODUCING PRODUCING 1 TO 2 INCREASE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. MANY AREAS ARE EXTREMELY DRY AND SHOULD
HANDLE THE HEAVY RAINFALL.
EXPECTING THE TROUGH TO PUSH THE MOISTURE THROUGH BY MONDAY
MORNING. THE SECOND SURGE ASSOCIATED WITH THE DISTURBANCE UP NORTH WILL
ARRIVE MONDAY AND SCOUR OUR THE REMAINING MOISTURE AND CLOUD
COVER. STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL ALLOW TEMPS DIVE AGAIN AND
POSSIBLY PUSH PARTS OF SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI TO A HARD FREEZE
TUESDAY AND SOUTH SHORE TO A NEAR FREEZE. SOME MODERATION WILL
OCCUR BY THURSDAY FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER SYSTEM BRINGING A CHANCE OF
RAIN FRIDAY AND NEXT WEEKEND. INSTABILITY MAY LAG TIL SATURDAY SO
WILL THUNDER UNTIL THE WEEKEND.
AVIATION...
CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY DETERIORATE TODAY AS A COLD FRONT
APPROACHES THE AREA. MVFR CIGS ARE EXPECTED TO SET IN DURING THE
LATE MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE
INTO THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL REMAIN IN THE AREA THROUGH
TONIGHT. WINDS WILL BE ELEVATED OUT OF THE SOUTH TODAY AND WILL
SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST LATE TONIGHT BEHIND THE COLD FRONT.
MARINE...
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT. INCREASED ONSHORE FLOW WILL DEVELOP IN ADVANCE OF THIS
LOW...AND EXERCISE CAUTION HEADLINES HAVE BEEN HOISTED FOR ALL
COASTAL WATERS TODAY WITH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES TAKING EFFECT
TONIGHT. A STRONG FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL SHIFT WINDS TO THE NORTHWEST
AND NORTH ON MONDAY AND WILL STRENGTHEN INTO THE 25 TO 30 KNOT
RANGE. FREQUENT STRONGER GUSTS MAY STILL NECESSITATE A GALE WATCH OR
WARNING OVER THE OPEN GULF WATERS...ESPECIALLY MONDAY NIGHT. THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BEGIN TO RELAX ON TUESDAY WITH CONDITIONS
GRADUALLY IMPROVING AS HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE AREA.
