Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 633 PM CDT TUE AUG 16 2016 .DISCUSSION... For the 17/00Z TAF issuance. && .AVIATION... A very moist air mass and instability from daytime heating has initiated another round of scattered showers and a few thunderstorms. For the remainder of the evening there will be a chance of seeing this convection at the KAEX/KBPT/KLCH sites with brief MVFR/IFR conditions. Activity seems to be diurnally driven and consensus of short term guidance is to have activity diminish by 17/04Z, and will go with this scenario for the TAF package. After 17/04Z, mainly VFR conditions expected for the remainder of the night. Rua && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 437 PM CDT TUE AUG 16 2016/ DISCUSSION... Short Term...Tonight and Tomorrow... MRMS regional reflectivity shows showers ongoing across the CWA with a line of embedded stronger extending from roughly Sabine Pass to Marksville moving northward. SPC mesoanalysis shows PW values remain above 2.1 inches, which corresponds to the 90th percentile for August, across all of our CWA. Despite abundant moisture across the whole area, afternoon model guidance indicates the highest POPs this evening across SE Texas. Additionally, guidance shows a relative minimum in convective activity across Acadiana which should minimize the threat for additional localized flooding tonight. The axis of highest PW values will continue to shift westward tomorrow. Highest QPF values will continue to be across SE Texas, but the entire CWA will remain in chance to likely categorical POPs. Long Term...Thursday through Tuesday... Overall, mainly minor adjustments were made to the previous long term forecast package. An upper level ridge will continue to build into the northern Gulf through the second half of the week and into the weekend. This will result in the tongue of tropical moisture finally exiting the region. Ensemble guidance shows PW values finally return to near the climatological average of 1.5 to 2.0 inches by the weekend and remaining through next week. Therefore, kept POPs limited to a chance and Superblend temperatures for the long term period. MARINE... THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO WILL REMAIN BETWEEN SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING WESTWARD AND WEAKENING LOW PRESSURE THAT WILL BE LIFTING OFF TO THE NORTHEAST. THIS PATTERN WILL RESULT IN LOW TO MODERATE ONSHORE FLOW AND SLIGHTLY ELEVATED SEAS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGH THE FIVE DAY FORECAST. LOCALLY HIGHER WINDS AND SEAS CAN BE EXPECTED AROUND THE STRONGER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
