What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Lake Charles, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 27, 7:00 AM CDT, 20 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 27, 7:00 AM CDT, 20 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAKE CHARLES LA
700 AM CDT MON APR 27 2015

.DISCUSSION...
FOR THE 12Z TAF PACKAGE.

&&

.AVIATION...
MAIN CONCERN WAS TIMING CONVECTIVE COMPLEX CURRENTLY ROLLING
THROUGH THE AREA THIS MORNING. VFR TO PREVAIL IN THE WAKE OF THESE
THUNDERSTORMS. ANOTHER ROUND POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO
TONIGHT...BUT WILL LET SUBSEQUENT FCSTS IRON THAT OUT.

13

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 449 AM CDT MON APR 27 2015/

DISCUSSION...
QUASI-LINEAR BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY SWEEPING EASTWARD
THROUGH EASTERN TEXAS EARLY THIS MORNING. ISOLATED SHOWER ACTIVITY
HAS ALSO RECENTLY BEGUN TO SPROUT DOWNSTREAM OF THIS QLCS WITHIN
REGION OF BROAD WAA/ISENTROPIC ASCENT.

QLCS IS PROGGED TO CONTINUE EASTWARD...WITH TSTMS POSING A RISK OF
ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER...ALONG WITH INTENSE RAINFALL RATES
GIVEN MODEL FCST PWATS OF 2+ INCHES. WITH THE ENTIRE FCST AREA
LOOKING TO BE INVOLVED IN AT LEAST THIS INITIAL ROUND OF
TSTMS...EXPANDED THE INHERITED FFA ACCORDINGLY. PENDING THE
EVOLUTION OF THIS INITIAL ROUND OF CONVECTION...A SECOND ROUND
APPEARS LIKELY TO DEVELOP LATER THIS AFTERNOON OR EVENING. OPTED
TO HOLD OF EXTENDING THE WATCH IN TIME AND ALLOW THE DAY CREW TO
FURTHER EVALUATE.

UPPER LOW CURRENTLY NEAR THE TX PANHANDLE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
SLOWLY EASTWARD...ACCELERATING TWD THE MID MS RIVER VALLEY ON
TUE AS A COOL FRONT PUSHES THROUGH THE AREA. WRAP AROUND MSTR
WILL KEEP A SMALL CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE FCST...BUT ALL RAINS
ARE EXPECTED TO END BY WED AS MUCH DRIER AIR SPILLS INTO THE
REGION.

DRY AND MILD WEATHER IS EXPECTED WED AND THU...WITH A GRADUAL WARM
UP FOR THE END OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND AS WEAK RIDGING
BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST.

13

MARINE...
MODERATE EASTERLY FLOW IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST TODAY AS HIGH
PRESSURE REMAINS EAST OF THE REGION. THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS OR
THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE TODAY AS A STRONG DISTURBANCE ALOFT
MOVES ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...AND SOME OF THE STORMS
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS DISTURBANCE COULD PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS AND
DANGEROUS CLOUD TO WATER LIGHTNING. A SURFACE LOW WILL DEVELOP
OVER TEXAS AND MOVE ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT...DRAGGING A COLD
FRONT THROUGH THE COASTAL WATERS. THIS WILL BRING AN END TO RAIN
CHANCES...AND RESULT IN A MODERATE TO STRONG NORTHERLY FLOW
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
