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 Lake Charles, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at May 19, 5:20 AM CDT, 5 hours 24 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 19, 5:20 AM CDT, 5 hours 24 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lake Charles LA
520 AM CDT THU MAY 19 2016

.DISCUSSION...
12z taf issuance.

&&

.AVIATION...
Mid level deck increasing ~10000ft with intermittent low level
layer ~1500ft yielding intermittent sct/bkn across region in
association with a weak shortwave moving thru the region now.
Radar showing -SHRA over C and SC LA this morning in association
with this feature. Next significant shortwave moving across W TX
now igniting SHRA/TSRA across C TX, which will be responsible for
increasing chances of SHRA/TSRA later this afternoon across SE
TX/SW LA and this evening and overnight across the remainder of
LA. Showing this by placing appropriate tempo groups and wording
for TSRA & IFR vsby/ceilings. Still question on timing of this, so
placed 6 hr PROB30 group this evening into the early morning
hours. After that, will likely have lingering -RA with the
occasional clap of thunder. Again, it all depends on the evolution
and size of the complex of TSRA that eventually develops later
today.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 326 AM CDT THU MAY 19 2016/

DISCUSSION...

Short Term...Today through Friday.

Main forecast issues will be POPs and rainfall through Friday.
Fairly quiet weather conditions were noted early this morning
although low clouds were beginning to develop. Water vapor shows
convection increasing overnight into central Texas ahead of upper
shortwave. As this system moves east,increasing showers and
thunderstorms are expected later today. Rich thte air and PWATs
over 2 inches are forecasted into tonight so will have likely POPs
mainly for this evening through early Friday. Will taper POPs over
western areas late Friday, but will still continue with chance
POPs elsewhere as significant thte air remains over area.

Long Term...Friday night through Wednesday.

Upper trough will slowly move east of the area late Friday.  Will
keep a slight chance of storms early Friday night over lower
Acadiana.  At this time...dry weather is forecasted for the weekend.
Short wave energy from next upper trough will begin to affect the
area beginning Monday.  Will bring rain chances back to southeast
Texas on Monday.  Increasing instability is forecasted beginning
Tuesday so will have slightly higher POPs over the area through
midweek.  Overall...temperatures should be at or slightly below
normal.

MARINE...
A very benign wind pattern is in place thanks to a weak
stationary front over coastal counties/parishes.  A low pressure
wave may develop along the front late tonight and provide a
modest increase in onshore flow for a brief period. The front
will shift south with weak high pressure building behind the
boundary. Weak onshore flow is expected early next week as low
pressure develops over eastern Colorado.
