Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lake Charles LA
945 PM CST Wed Dec 7 2016

.DISCUSSION...
Wx map shows cold front moving through the Arklatex this evening.
Radar showing patchy light rain developing over Southeast Texas,
which will spread east northeast with the flow aloft, gradually
filling south and eastward as the cold front moves through the
region Thursday. Not much changes in forecast, mainly leaving
chance of showers with the frontal passage. No changes to ongoing
wind hazards inland and offshore.

DML

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 523 PM CST Wed Dec 7 2016/

AVIATION...Mostly MVFR conditions are expected this evening,
however IFR ceilings will become common as midnight approaches.
Scattered to numerous showers will also move through the region
reducing vis at times. Ceilings will slowly improve through
Thursday. Winds will be north to northeast through the period and
very gusty during Thursday.

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 520 PM CST Wed Dec 7 2016/

DISCUSSION...
Main update was to trend a bit upward in sustained winds and gusts
across the coastal lakes/bays as well as inland locations for most
of Thursday with just about every available guidance increasing
confidence in a windy day Thursday. Thus it is necessary to issue
a wind advisory from 9 am to 6 pm Thursday for portions of Central
and Southern Louisiana, and Southeast Texas. With guidance
slightly lower for Inland Southeast Texas, did not include them at
this time, but this may have to be adjusted if later guidance
comes in higher.

DML

MARINE...
Main update was to include Small Craft Advisories for Sabine &
Calcasieu Lake, and Vermilion Bay from 6 AM Thursday through 6 AM
Friday, which matches well with the ongoing Gale Warning across
the 0-60 NM coastal marine zones.

DML

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 349 PM CST Wed Dec 7 2016/

DISCUSSION...
Under cloudy skies...temperatures were slow to climb out of the
mid 50s across the northern areas. We did see some slightly
warmer temperatures this afternoon across the southern areas with
highs making it into the lower 60s. Southerly winds had yet to
materialize which in concert with the thick cloud cover...played
a key role in temperatures much cooler than expected. The
stationary frontal boundary over the gulf waters never made it
back as a warm front.

The active weather pattern we have seen over the last week will
continue to plaque the area. In the upper levels...a broad trough
covered much of the interior part of the country. We do expect a
strong cold front to arrive later tonight and sweep into the
coastal waters by early Thursday morning. Much colder temperatures
are on the way including a chance of showers in the vicinity of
the cold front. Much colder canadian air will spill down into the
central and southern United states through Friday. Therefore...the
arctic blast of cold air will be felt starting Thursday (highs
upper 40s to lower 50s) and Friday (highs mid 40s to near 50).

Northerly winds tomorrow look to remain below wind advisory criteria
except perhaps just near the coastline. Will let the overnight crew
decide if we will need a wind advisory for the coastal zones when
they get a newer model run. For now...current GFS/NWPS wind grids
do not support it. However...the HRRR model does. The next shift
folks will look at the newer models and will make the decision
later tonight.

We do expect the coastal waters will receive much of the stronger
winds and therefore will upgrade Gale Watch to Gale Warning for
12Z Thursday to 12Z Friday.

This arctic blast of air will bring a freeze to areas north of the I-
10 corridor Thursday night into Friday morning and most all of the
area Saturday morning.

Temps begin to moderate Saturday afternoon as high pressure shifts
east and winds turn southerly in advance of the next cold front...the
timing of which the long range models are beginning to come into
agreement and therefore expecting another round of rain Sunday and
Sunday night with another front sweeping the rain out during the
same time period. Expect probability of rain to fall off sharply
early Monday as the front sweeps out the moisture.

The progressive pattern continues into the middle and latter part of
next week as guidance indicates reinforcement of northerly flow
Tuesday and then another front swings through on Wednesday. These
rapid swings in weather will continue for the foreseeable future.

MARINE... A Gale warning is now in effect Thursday morning through
Friday morning for coastal waters out 60 NM. Offshore winds behind a
cold front pushing through the area Thursday morning will gust to 35-
40 knots and continue through early Friday morning. Seas will be in
the 7-9 foot range from 20-60 NM offshore. Winds will moderate
during the day Friday.
