AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
225 PM CDT MON OCT 13 2014

.UPDATE...
HAVE UPDATED ALL PRODUCTS FOR NEW TORNADO WATCH THAT WE JUST
ISSUED. IT INCLUDES THE ENTIRE AFTERNOON FCST PACKAGE AS WELL.
SQUALL LINE IS CURRENTLY DRAPED FROM JUST WEST OF JACKSON MS TO
EAST OF LAKE CHARLES AND MOVING EAST AT AROUND 40 MPH. STORMS JUST
AHEAD OF THIS LINE HAVE BEEN GRADUALLY INTENSIFYING WHILE RACING
NORTHEAST. MINOR ROTATION HAS BEEN NOTED WITH QUITE A FEW OF THEM.
THESE COULD RESULT IN A QUICK SPIN UP TORNADO. THE MAIN LINE SHOULD
BE IN THE NWRN ZONES AROUND POINT COUPEE W/IN THE HOUR AND INTO
BATON ROUGE IN THE NEXT 2 TO 3 HRS. FROM THERE THE LINE WILL BE
QUICKLY MOVING EAST...REACHING INTO NEW ORLEANS LATER IN THE
EVENING. MAIN THREATS ARE THE SAME AS BEFORE...DAMAGING
WIND AND TORNADOES. THE THREAT WILL LIKELY DIMINISH SEVERAL HOURS
EARLIER THAN PREVIOUS FORECAST...OR AROUND MIDNIGHT EVEN FOR THE
MS COAST.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 835 AM CDT MON OCT 13 2014/

UPDATE...

SOUNDING DISCUSSION...

NO PROBLEMS WITH THE FLIGHT THIS MORNING. MUCH DRIER THIS MORNING
BUT VERY UNSTABLE WITH A PW OF 1.57 INCHES AND AN LI OF -6.7. A
GOOD BIT OF SHEAR THIS MORNING WITH WINDS RAPIDLY INCREASING WITH
HEIGHT AND A HELICITY VALUE OF 216. CAPE VALUES APPROACHING THE
3000 LEVELS...THEREFORE THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER EXPECTED TO
INCREASE LATER TODAY INTO THE EVENING HOURS. DAMAGING STRAIGHT
LINE WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT ALONG
AND AHEAD OF A SQUALL LINE. A STRONG SOUTH...SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW IN
THE LOWEST LEVELS WITH A SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW IN THE MIDDLE
AND UPPER LEVELS. AIRMASS VERY MOIST IN THE LOWEST LEVELS BELOW
900 MB WITH A RELATIVELY DRY AIRMASS ABOVE 900 MB.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 444 AM CDT MON OCT 13 2014/

SHORT TERM...
THE MAIN CONCERNS WILL DEFINITELY BE IN THE SHORT-TERM AS A
VIGOROUS FALL STORM IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY AND EVOLVING OVER THE
LOWER PLAINS STATES. A WELL DEFINED SQUALL LINE HAS DEVELOPED FROM
NORTHERN ARKANSAS AND EXTENDING TO SOUTH OF THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH
METROPLEX THIS MORNING. THE EASTWARD PROGRESSION IS MEASURED AT 25
KNOTS AND CURRENTLY OUT-RUNNING THE UPPER SUPPORT. THE LOWER LOBE
OF UPPER TROUGH GAINS AMPLITUDE THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND BECOMES
NEUTRALLY TILTED BY THIS EVENING UPON ARRIVAL INTO THE FORECAST
AREA. SEVERAL CONVECTIVE WATCHES AND A FEW WARNINGS ALREADY ARE IN
PLACE AHEAD OF THIS SQUALL AND ADDITIONAL ISSUANCES CAN BE
EXPECTED EASTWARD THROUGH THIS EVENING. GIVEN FORWARD
PROGRESS...BEST ARRIVAL TIMING APPEARS TO BE KBTR AROUND 7
PM...KMCB 8 PM...KHDC 830 PM...KASD/KMSY 930 PM...KGPT/KBIX 11
PM...KPQL AROUND MIDNIGHT. CHAP GUIDANCE OFF THE GFS IS SHOWING
SOME FAST TIMING ISSUES BUT THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS ARE ACCEPTABLE.
KBTR/KMCB MODEL SOUNDINGS ARE INDICATING HIGH END EF1 TORNADO
POTENTIAL...GUSTS TO 71 MPH. POINTS EAST ARE INDICATED TO BE JUST
ABOVE SEVERE THRESHOLDS AND POINTS SOUTH OF THE LAKE WERE
INDICATED TO BE SUB-SEVERE. PRECIPITATION TOTALS FROM CHAP WERE
CLOSE TO 2 INCHES OVER A SHORT DURATION BETWEEN 00Z-06Z. BY
COMPARISON... THE NAM MODEL GUIDANCE MAINTAINED SUB-SEVERE
POTENTIALS AT ALL LOCATIONS AND APPEARS TO BE UNDER PERFORMING WITH
THIS SYSTEM. THE GFS BASED GUIDANCE WILL BE THE BASIS FOR HWO AND
CONSISTENT WITH SPC OUTLOOK GUIDANCE. WE DO ANTICIPATE MOST OR ALL
OF THE FORECAST AREA TO BE PLACE UNDER A WATCH AT SOME POINT MID
TO LATE AFTERNOON HOURS.

SHARP UPPER TROUGH AXIS SHOULD PASS TO THE EAST OF THE FORECAST
AREA NEAR DAYBREAK TUESDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDING INTO
THE AREA. SEVERE STORM THREAT WILL END WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE FROM
WEST TO EAST. DRIER CONDITIONS MOVE INTO THE AREA FOR TUESDAY
ALONG WITH DECENT COLD AIR ADVECTION THAT NEUTRALIZES LATER
TUESDAY.

LONG TERM...
THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THIS PACKAGE IS ESSENTIALLY A TEMPERATURE
FORECAST WITH DRY CONDITIONS EXPECTED INTO NEXT WEEKEND. A STEADY
WARMING TREND ONSETS WEDNESDAY ONWARD AND MOISTURE WILL GRADUALLY
INCREASE BY NEXT WEEKEND. 24/RR

AVIATION...
A SCATTERED TO BROKEN CLOUD DECK RANGING AROUND 2000-2500 FEET WILL
KEEP MVFR CONDITIONS IN PLACE AT ALL OF THE TERMINALS THROUGH THE
MORNING HOURS.  AFTER 18Z...SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL INCREASE TO AROUND
15 KNOTS WITH HIGHER GUSTS AS A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET BEGINS TO MOVE
INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.  AS SHEAR AND OVERALL INSTABILITY
INCREASES...SCATTERED STRONG CONVECTION WILL BEGIN TO DEVELOP OVER
THE AREA.  PERIODS OF IFR AND POSSIBLY LIFR CONDITIONS WILL IMPACT
THE TERMINALS AS THIS CONVECTION MOVES THROUGH.  STRONG WIND GUSTS
WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.  A SQUALL LINE WILL THEN ACCOMPANY A COLD
FRONT AS IT SWEEPS THROUGH THE AREA BETWEEN 00Z AND 10Z TONIGHT.
THE LINE SHOULD IMPACT AREAS AROUND BTR BETWEEN 00Z AND 04Z.
MCB...HDC...MSY...NEW...AND HUM WILL BE IMPACTED BETWEEN 02Z AND
06Z.  ASD AND GPT WILL SEE IMPACTS FROM AROUND 06Z THROUGH 10Z.
VERY STRONG WIND GUSTS AND SOME HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE AS THIS LINE
OF STORMS MOVES THROUGH TONIGHT. 32

MARINE...
STRENGTHENING ONSHORE FLOW IN ADVANCE OF DEEPENING STORM SYSTEM IN
THE PLAINS PROMPTED THE ISSUANCE OF SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR
TODAY...THOUGH WIND CRITERIA MAY BE MARGINAL THIS MORNING. MAIN
CONCERNS WILL BE EVENTUAL SQUALL LINE DEVELOPMENTS BY THIS EVENING
THAT WILL LIKELY GENERATE GUSTS 35-50 KNOTS OVER THE GULF WATERS
OVERNIGHT. AS COLD AIR ADVECTION OVERTAKES THE NORTH GULF TOWARDS
TUESDAY MORNING...WEST AND NORTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
GUSTY JUST BELOW GALE FORCE TUESDAY MORNING BEFORE COLD AIR
ADVECTION ABATES LATE MORNING FROM WEST TO EAST. WIND AND SEA
CONDITIONS SHOULD SETTLE TO LESSER LEVELS LATE TUESDAY AND PREVAIL
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. THERE MAY BE SOME DRAINAGE WIND
ENHANCEMENTS OVER MISSISSIPPI SOUND TUESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY
WEDNESDAY MORNING BUT THIS SHOULD REMAIN CONFINED TO THE NEAR
SHORE AREAS FOR THE MOST PART. 24/RR
