.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 402 PM CDT FRI MAR 18 2016/

DISCUSSION...
AN OLD STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAS WORKED BACK NORTH TODAY AND IS
ROUGHLY ALONG THE HIGHWAY 190 CORRIDOR. SOUTH OF THE
BOUNDARY...TEMPERATURES ARE NEAR 80F WITH DEW POINTS NEAR
70F...HELPING TO CREATE DECENT LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY.
MEANWHILE...AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE IS HELPING TO PROVIDE SOME
UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE ALOFT...AND THE COMBINATION OF LOW LEVEL
INSTABILITY...SURFACE BOUNDARY CONVERGENCE...AND UPPER LEVEL
DIVERGENCE...IS PRODUCING SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT RISK FOR STRONG
TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS...WHEN LOW LEVEL
INSTABILITY WILL BE AT ITS GREATEST. THE MAIN HAZARDS WILL BE
LARGE HAIL AND FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING. ACTIVITY IS
EXPECTED TO DECREASE IN INTENSITY AND AREAL COVERAGE DURING THE
EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING.

A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FROM LATE
TONIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AHEAD OF THIS FRONT...MAINLY AFTER
MIDNIGHT UNTIL SHORTLY AFTER DAYBREAK.

A MUCH COOLER AND DRIER AIR MASS WILL MOVE IN BEHIND THE FRONT ON
SATURDAY...WITH RAIN CHANCES ENDING QUICKLY IN THE MORNING. DECENT
PRESSURE GRADIENT WITH THE HIGH BUILDING IN BEHIND THE
FRONT...THAT NORTH WINDS WILL BE RATHER GUSTY WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF
A WIND ADVISORY...ESPECIALLY SOUTHERN ZONES.

OVER THE WEEKEND...UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS WILL
SWING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO THE MID-
ATLANTIC. THIS WILL HELP DEEPEN THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ALONG THE
EAST COAST WITH DEEP NORTHWEST FLOW OVER THE FORECAST AREA. THIS
WILL BRING IN AIR COLD CANADIAN AIR MASS WITH DAYTIME
TEMPERATURES SOME 10F DEGREES BELOW CLIMO NORMS...AND AROUND 15F
DEGREES BELOW CLIMO NORMS AT NIGHT. THE COLDEST NIGHT WILL BE ON
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING WHEN THE CENTER OF THE HIGH WILL
BE OVER THE REGION. AIR TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER
30S WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF FROST FOR THE USUAL COLDER LOCATIONS
UP NORTH.

A WARM UP WILL THEN TAKE PLACE EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH THE HIGH
PRESSURE MOVING OFF TO THE EAST AND SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT DEVELOPS.
THE NEXT CHANCE FOR SIGNIFICANT RAIN WILL BE LATE THURSDAY WITH
THE NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM.

RUA

MARINE...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE COASTAL WATERS NEAR
DAYBREAK SATURDAY AND BE THROUGH THE COASTAL WATERS ON SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. DECENT COLD AIR ADVECTION IS NOTED BEHIND THIS FRONT
AND WILL BE MOVING OVER RELATIVELY WARM GULF WATERS.
THEREFORE...STRONG AND GUSTY NORTH WINDS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE
COASTAL WATERS ON SATURDAY MORNING. HAVE GONE AHEAD AND ISSUED A
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE COASTAL WATERS THAT WILL LAST INTO
SUNDAY. BY LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL
SETTLE OVER THE REGION HELPING TO DECREASE WINDS.

RUA

HYDROLOGY...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE AREA
THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. AT THIS TIME IT DOES
NOT APPEAR ANY HEAVY WIDESPREAD RAINFALL WILL OCCUR. RAINFALL
AMOUNTS WILL AVERAGE BETWEEN 1/4 TO 1/2 OF AN INCH UNTIL RAIN
CHANCES END...AND THESE AMOUNTS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO GREATLY IMPACT
RIVER LEVELS. BEHIND THE COLD FRONT ON SATURDAY...GUSTY NORTH
WINDS ARE EXPECTED AND THIS SHOULD ALSO HELP LOWER TIDE LEVELS
ALONG THE COAST AND HELP EVACUATE THE WATER FROM THE MAINSTEMS AND
ALLOW FOR PROPER DRAINAGE INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO.

THE PEAK FLOOD WAVE ALONG THE SABINE HAS LEFT THE ORANGE AREA AND
IS LIKELY SOUTHWARD INTO SABINE LAKE AND THE MARSHES OF WESTERN
CAMERON PARISH. WITH CONTINUED REDUCTION IN RELEASES FROM TOLEDO
BEND...THE RIVER LEVELS ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE LOWER SABINE RIVER
WILL CONTINUE TO RECEDE.

BON WIER IS EXPECTED TO BE BELOW MAJOR FLOOD LEVEL OF 36 FEET ON
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. DEWEYVILLE IS EXPECTED TO BE BELOW THE MAJOR
FLOOD LEVEL OF 28 FEET ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON. ORANGE IS EXPECTED TO
BE BELOW THE MAJOR FLOOD LEVEL OF 6 FEET BY MONDAY MORNING.
ALSO...INDICATIONS ARE THAT WATER LEVELS NEAR I-10 BRIDGE ALONG
THE TEXAS/LOUISIANA STATE LINE ARE ALSO RECEDING AT A STEADY PACE
NOW.

CALCASIEU RIVER AT OLD TOWN BAY SHOULD BE CRESTING JUST ABOVE
MAJOR FLOOD CATEGORY NOW AND BE BELOW MAJOR FLOOD CATEGORY ON
SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

RED RIVER AT ALEXANDRIA IS EXPECTED TO CREST BELOW MAJOR FLOOD
CATEGORY AT 39.5 FEET ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
