AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAKE CHARLES LA
405 AM CDT THU MAR 24 2016

.DISCUSSION...
REGIONAL 88DS SHOW A BROKEN LINE OF SHOWERS WITH EMBEDDED
STRONG/SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN ADVANCING COLD
FRONT STRETCHING FROM THE ARKLATEX THROUGH DEEP ERN TX TO THE HILL
COUNTRY ATTM. THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE PUSHING EWD INTO A
MODESTLY UNSTABLE AND VERY MOIST AIRMASS OVER SERN TX/SWRN LA.
FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE SOME LOW-LEVEL SHEAR ALONG WITH GOOD
LAPSE RATES ALOFT...MAIN QUESTIONS REMAIN JUST HOW UNSTABLE WILL
WE GET PRIOR TO ONSET OF CONVECTION ALONG WITH BEST DYNAMICS
PROGGED TO STAY NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO
CLOSED LOW ALOFT. PREVIOUS SPC DAY 1 OUTLOOK CARRIED THE WRN 2/3
OF THE FORECAST AREA IN AT LEAST A MARGINAL RISK...WHILE LATEST
DAY 1 HAS PRETTY MUCH THE ENTIRE AREA IN THE MARGINAL CATEGORY.
CERTAINLY SHOWERS AND STORMS LOOK LIKE AN EXCELLENT BET THROUGH
THE MORNING HOURS AS THE FRONT PASSES...FOR NOW WILL NOT BE
INSERTING AN SEVERE MENTION DUE TO AFOREMENTIONED QUESTIONS BUT
WILL ADDRESS SEVERE POTENTIAL IN MORNING HAZARDOUS WEATHER
OUTLOOK.

PRECIP WILL QUICKLY DEPART THE AREA DURING THE LATE MORNING/EARLY
AFTERNOON HOURS WITH FROPA...BEFORE DRIER/COOLER AIR MOVES IN
BEHIND IT. THE FRONT IS PROGGED TO STALL OVER THE NRN GULF SO SOME
SHOWER ACTIVITY/ISOLATED STORMS WILL LINGER OVER THE COASTAL
WATERS THROUGH TONIGHT. SKIES WILL CLEAR AND DEVELOPING CAA WILL
ALLOW MINS TONIGHT TO FALL BACK TO A CAT OR TWO BELOW LATE MARCH
NORMS. THANKS TO THE COOL START AND SFC HIGH PRESSURE DRIFTING
OVER THE FORECAST AREA TOMORROW...MAXES WILL ALSO RUN SLIGHTLY
BELOW NORMAL FOR FRIDAY.

INTO THE WEEKEND THE HIGH IS PROGGED TO PUSH EWD WHICH WILL ALLOW
THE OLD FRONT TO BEGIN LIFTING BACK NWD OVER THE AREA. A FEW
SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE MAINLY OVER LOWER ACADIANA FOR
SATURDAY...WITH THE BULK OF THE REGION SEEING A RETURN OF RAIN
CHANCES SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE NEXT IMPULSE ALOFT PASSES AND HELPS
SPIN UP A SFC LOW OVER THE GULF JUST OFFSHORE SWRN/S-CNTL LA. SPC
CURRENTLY HAS THE ERN 2/3 OF THE FORECAST AREA IN A MARGINAL RISK
FOR THIS ACTIVITY...STAY TUNED. POPS REMAIN IN THE GOOD
CHANCE/LIKELY AREA THROUGH SUNDAY BEFORE THE TROF AXIS ALOFT
SWINGS THROUGH AND PUSHES EVERYTHING OFF TO THE EAST.

THE DRY PERIOD LOOKS TO BE RATHER BRIEF AS A PROGRESSIVE PATTERN
BRINGS OUR NEXT WEATHER-MAKER...IN THE FORM OF ANOTHER SRN STREAM
SHORTWAVE/ASSOCIATED SFC LOW...ACROSS THE AREA TUESDAY INTO
WEDNESDAY.

&&

.MARINE...
CAUTION HEADLINES ON THE OUTER COASTAL WATERS HAVE BEEN EXTENDED
THROUGH TONIGHT AS DEVELOPING OFFSHORE FLOW ALLOWS SEAS TO REMAIN
ELEVATED. ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONGER WINDS LOOKS POSSIBLE SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY WITH THE NEXT FRONTAL PASSAGE.
