AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
416 PM CDT FRI MAR 28 2014

.DISCUSSION...
BIGGEST CONCERN WILL BE IN THE FIRST 18 HOURS OF THE FORECAST.
FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR ROUGHLY THE NORTHEASTERN
HALF OF THE AREA. IN THESE AREAS...HEAVY RAINFALL OVERNIGHT LAST
NIGHT AND TODAY HAS SATURATED THE SOIL AND ANY ADDITIONAL RAINFALL
WILL QUICKLY BE CONVERTED TO RUNOFF CAUSING FLASH FLOODING
CONCERNS UNTIL A COLD FRONT CLEARS THE AREA LATE TONIGHT/SATURDAY
MORNING.

NUMEROUS TO WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO
IMPACT THE AREA TONIGHT AS AN UPPER TROUGH AND COLD FRONT MOVE
THROUGH THE REGION. BIGGEST THREAT WILL BE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
AS THERE WILL BE POTENTIAL FOR SOME VERY EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS
WITH PW VALUES SITTING NEAR 200 PERCENT OF NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF
YEAR. HIGH RAINFALL RATES IN THE 2 TO 3 INCH PER HOUR RANGE WERE
OBSERVED EARLIER TODAY IN SOME CONVECTION. AREA AVERAGE RAINFALL
IS GENERALLY EXPECTED TO BE LESS THAN AN INCH TONIGHT...BUT THERE
IS POTENTIAL FOR LOCAL AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF 2 TO 3 INCHES. 12Z
SREF GUIDANCE INDICATED A 40 TO 50 PERCENT CHANCE OF GREATER THAN
1 INCH OF RAIN OVER A LARGE PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA...THOUGH
THE 15Z GUIDANCE IS A BIT LOWER.

ANOTHER THING TO CONSIDER WITH CONVECTION THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT
IS THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE WEATHER. SPC CONTINUES TO INDICATE A
SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS BASICALLY THE ENTIRE FORECAST
AREA. EXPECT AT LEAST A BROKEN LINE OF CONVECTION TO ACCOMPANY
THE COLD FRONT AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. THE AIR MASS IS
GENERALLY UNSTABLE WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S TO NEAR
70 DEGREES. LI VALUES OF -6 TO -8 ARE FORECAST TO SPREAD ACROSS
THE REGION WITH CAPE VALUES IN EXCESS OF 1500 J/KG. MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES ARE FORECAST TO STEEPEN A BIT THIS EVENING LEADING TO
GREATER INSTABILITY IN THE HAIL GROWTH ZONE. AREA OF GREATEST
THREAT WILL BE ACROSS WESTERN AREAS WHERE CONVECTION HAS NOT BEEN
PERSISTENT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. EASTERN AREAS ARE CURRENTLY
WORKED OVER AND LIKELY NOT ABLE TO SUPPORT SEVERE CONVECTION AT
THIS TIME. MAIN THREATS FROM ANY SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE DAMAGING
WIND AND LARGE HAIL.

SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD FINALLY BEGIN TAPERING OFF
AFTER MIDNIGHT AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES EASTWARD. EXPECT ONLY
SCATTERED LINGERING SHOWERS BY DAYBREAK...MAINLY ACROSS THE
SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE AREA. CURRENT FORECAST HAS ALL PRECIP
OUT OF THE AREA BY LATE MORNING. AIR MASS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT
WILL KNOCK TEMPS DOWN A BIT...BUT NOT NEARLY AS MUCH AS PREVIOUS
FRONTS. EXPECT MORNING LOWS TO DROP INTO THE 40S AND LOWER 50S
SUNDAY AND MONDAY MORNINGS BEFORE RECOVERY BEGINS. AFTERNOON
TEMPS WILL BE MORE SEASONAL...GENERALLY REACHING THE MID 70S BOTH
DAYS.

.LONG TERM...
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES MADE TO THE FORECAST BEYOND THE FIRST 36
HOURS AND THE PREVIOUS LONG TERM DISCUSSION IS APPENDED HERE.

THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL REMAIN TO THE NORTH AND INCREASE CLOUDS
ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO
DEEPEN OVER THE ROCKIES AND CREATE SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER SOUTH
CENTRAL CONUS AND BRING A RAIN CHANCES ACROSS NORTHWEST ZONES
WEDNESDAY. RAIN CHANCES WILL INCREASE TOWARD THE END OF NEXT WEEK
AS THIS SYSTEM PUSH ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BY FRIDAY.

&&

.AVIATION...
GENERALLY MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT THE TAF SITES
THROUGH TONIGHT AS A FRONTAL SYSTEM CONTINUES TO IMPACT THE AREA.
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE
AREA TONIGHT AND ARE CURRENTLY INDICATED WITH VICINITY GROUPS IN
TAFS...THOUGH THESE CAN LIKELY BE NARROWED INTO PREVAILING FOR THE
MOST LIKELY TIMING WITH THE 00Z ISSUANCE. FRONTAL PASSAGE WILL
OCCUR LATE TONIGHT...WITH CONDITIONS NOT IMPROVING TO VFR UNTIL
AFTER 15Z MOST LOCATIONS.

&&

.MARINE...
ONSHORE FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
RELAXES AHEAD OF A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT. AHEAD OF THE
FRONT...EXPECT SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO
IMPACT THE WATERS LEADING TO LOCALLY HIGHER WINDS AND SEAS. THE
COLD FRONT WILL FINALLY PUSH THROUGH THE COASTAL WATERS LATE
SATURDAY MORNING... WITH MODERATE TO STRONG OFFSHORE WINDS
DEVELOPING IN ITS WAKE. HEADLINES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED ONCE
AGAIN. WINDS WILL RELAX AGAIN ON SUNDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES
INTO THE DEEP SOUTH AND RETURN FLOW SHOULD BEGIN BY MONDAY AS THE
SURFACE HIGH SHIFTS EASTWARD.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST
LOUISIANA...SOUTH MISSISSIPPI AND THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER OVER MUCH OF THE OUTLOOK
AREA BUT THE GREATEST THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE ALONG AND
NORTHWEST OF A LINE FROM BATON ROUGE TO MCCOMB. THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT AHEAD OF A SLOWLY
APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THE MAIN THREATS FROM SEVERE STORMS WILL
BE LARGE HAIL AND STRONG TO DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS AND
MAINLY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. HEAVY RAINFALL IS ALSO
LIKELY WITH SOME OF THESE STORMS...AND COULD PRODUCE FLOODING IN
AREAS HARD HIT BY HEAVY RAIN THIS MORNING.

WINDS WILL REMAIN MODERATE TO STRONG OVER THE OUTER WATERS THIS
AFTERNOON.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES WILL AGAIN BE NEEDED OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS ON SATURDAY AFTER THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT LATE
SATURDAY MORNING.

...SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUING ACROSS THE AREA...

SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO PRODUCE MODERATE
TO HEAVY RAIN ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA SURROUNDING
LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF TWO TO FOUR INCHES HAVE
BEEN COMMON TODAY ACROSS THE AREA. THIS HAS PRODUCED TEMPORARY
STREET FLOODING IN SEVERAL AREAS. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WILL SLOW
DOWN ANY IMPROVEMENT IN CONDITIONS.

DRIVERS SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR PONDING OF WATER ON STREETS AND
HIGHWAYS AND PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH AREAS OF DEEP WATER. RAIN
IS EXPECTED TO DIMINISH FOR A PERIOD LATER THIS AFTERNOON...BUT
THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT.
