Area forecast discussion, Aug 16, 6:54 AM CDT, 3 hours 19 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 654 AM CDT TUE AUG 16 2016 .AVIATION...Radar depicting a few streamer showers advancing into southwest Louisiana from the gulf waters then rapidly dissipating. Scattered showers and areas of light rain continue over southeast Texas. Models depicting a rather active shower and thunderstorm day across the region. This with moisture plentiful incoming from the gulf. Carrying TEMPO groups at all terminals for SHRA through the day along with VCTS. Stll anticipating VFR to prevail while winds remain light. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 446 AM CDT TUE AUG 16 2016/ DISCUSSION... Rains continued to fall across southeast Texas and southern Louisiana yesterday although south central Louisiana got something of a break again yesterday. Numerous locations in south central Louisiana remain in flood and this is expected to continue today. Currently rains are moving inland around the HOU area while our next round is approaching the southwest Louisiana and southeast Texas coast. Rains will move northward with rainfall averages around one to three inches for se Texas and sw La today. South central Louisiana looks to pickup an addition 1/2 inch to about an inch. Not that it is much of a point... but rains have kept the temperatures in the 80s and this will happen again today. The frontal boundary to our northwest will begin break down by tomorrow. This will allow for moisture trapped over the region a chance to escape northward into the central United States. Therefore rain chances for everyone will begin to fall with this pattern continuing into the weekend. We look to be back into a normal summertime pattern at that time with storm development mainly during the afternoon hours and temps a bit higher. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
