What forecasters said that day

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

NWS New Orleans, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Dec 9, 9:47 AM CST, 1 hour 26 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 9, 9:47 AM CST, 1 hour 26 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
947 AM CST WED DEC 9 2015

.UPDATE...
NO MAJOR CHANGES MADE TO THE FORECAST THIS MORNING. HOURLY
TEMPERATURES ARE RISING FASTER THAN THE CURRENT FORECAST HAD...
SO ADJUSTED THOSE TO BE CLOSER TO OBSERVED.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 711 AM CST WED DEC 9 2015/

..SOUNDING DISCUSSION...
THERE IS AN 18 F RADIATION INVERSION IN THE FIRST 500 FT THIS
MORNING THAT HAS ALLOWED PATCHY FOG TO DEVELOP. JUST ENOUGH CLOUD
COVER ACROSS THE AREA IS KEEPING THE FOG FROM GETTING VERY DENSE
OR WIDESPREAD AND THE FOG WILL MIX OUT QUICKLY THIS MORNING.
THERE IS ANOTHER ELEVATED INVERSION AT 850 MB AND AN ISOTHERMAL
LAYER AROUND 700 MB. A SCATTERED TO BROKEN CLOUD DECK IS IN THE
2300 TO 4000 FT LAYER. ABOVE THE SFC WINDS ARE SOUTHWEST AND
BECOME WEST BY 500 MB. PEAK WIND IS 75 KTS AT 175 MB.

KRAUTMANN

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 333 AM CST WED DEC 9 2015/

SHORT TERM...
TEMPS WARMING BACK INTO THE 50S AND THE FOG IS RIGHT ON QUE.
ALTHOUGH VERY PATCHY BUT STILL DENSE IN A FEW LOCATIONS THIS
MORNING. CLOUDS ARE DEVELOPING SOMEWHAT ACROSS THE AREA AT AROUND
2K TO 3500 FT. THIS IS HELPING TO KEEP SOME HEAT TRAPPED AND NOT
ALLOWING FOG TO DEVELOP VERY WELL AREA WIDE. WILL STILL KEEP AN
ADVISORY IN MIND IF CLOUDS BEGIN TO CLEAR OUT BEFORE SUNRISE. THIS
SHOULD REPEAT ITSELF AGAIN TONIGHT AND THU MORNING. THE NEXT COLD
FRONT WILL BE MOVING THROUGH SUNDAY. THE COLD FRONT ALONG WITH SH/TS
SHOULD BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE WESTERN MOST PORTION OF THE AREA
NEAR BTR BY 10AM SUN AND TRANSIT THOUGH TO NEW ORLEANS BY ~6PM SUN
AND FINALLY INTO ALABAMA BY ~9PM SUN...FAIRLY FAST PACE. EVERYONE
SHOULD SEE SOME RAINFALL WITH THIS SYSTEM AND EVEN A FEW TS. BUT
THE STRONGEST ACTIVITY IS STILL SHOWING UP WITH THE STRONGEST
300MB JET PULSE JUST NORTH OF THE AREA. NOT A TREMENDOUS COOL DOWN
BEHIND THE FRONT BUT YOU WILL FEEL IT AS TEMPS DROP WITHIN A 20
MILE DISTANCE FROM AROUND 70 TO AROUND 60.

LONG TERM...
THE COOL DRY WEATHER WILL ONLY LAST THROUGH MONDAY. BY
TUE...RETURN FLOW WILL BEGIN TO BRING MOISTURE AND WARMTH BACK. A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS WILL SHOW UP ONCE AGAIN TUE NIGHT INTO WED AS
ANOTHER COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH AT A FAST PACE LIKE THE WEEKEND
FRONT. ANOTHER SYSTEM SHOULD START TO GET ITSELF TOGETHER ALONG
THE GULF COAST NEAR BROWNSVILLE BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK AND MOVE
THIS WAY FOR THE NEXT WEEKEND POSSIBLY.

AVIATION...

AREAS OF FOG AND LOWER CEILINGS HAVE DEVELOPED AT ALL OF THE
TERMINALS THIS MORNING AS A LOW LEVEL INVERSION INTENSIFIES.
VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN IFR AND LIFR
RANGE AT THE TERMINALS THROUGH AROUND 13-14Z THIS MORNING.  AFTER
14Z...THE INVERSION WILL BEGIN TO MIX OUT...AND A RETURN TO VFR
CONDITIONS IS EXPECTED BY 15Z AT ALL OF THE TERMINALS. THESE VFR
CONDITIONS SHOULD PERSIST THROUGH AROUND 06Z TONIGHT.
HOWEVER...ANOTHER INVERSION IS EXPECTED TO FORM AFTER 06Z...AND
ANOTHER ROUND OF FOG AND LOW CEILINGS SHOULD FORM OVER MOST OF THE
TERMINALS BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z TOMORROW. 32

MARINE...

NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THINKING WITH THE LATEST FORECAST.  LIGHT
AND VARIABLE WINDS AND CALM SEAS WILL PERSIST OVER THE MARINE ZONES
THROUGH TONIGHT.  HEADING INTO TOMORROW AND FRIDAY...A RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE CURRENTLY PARKED OVER THE REGION WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT TOWARD
THE EASTERN SEABOARD.  A GENERAL ONSHORE FLOW OF 5 TO 10 KNOTS
SHOULD DEVELOP TOMORROW AND THEN GRADUALLY INCREASE TO 10 TO 15
KNOTS BY FRIDAY.  THIS INCREASE IN WINDS IS IN RESPONSE TO A
DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS BY FRIDAY.  AS THE LOW INTENSIFIES...ONSHORE FLOW
WILL FURTHER INCREASE...AND EXPECT TO SEE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
CONDITIONS DEVELOP BY SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY.  THESE STRONG 20 TO
25 KNOT WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS OF UP TO 10 FEET WILL PERSIST INTO
SUNDAY NIGHT...WITH SOME GRADUAL EASING OF CONDITIONS EXPECTED AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK IN BY NEXT MONDAY. 32
