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 New Orleans, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Feb 24, 3:06 PM CST, 5 hours 48 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 24, 3:06 PM CST, 5 hours 48 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
ISSUED BY NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAKE CHARLES LA
306 PM CST WED FEB 24 2016

.DISCUSSION...
COOL BREEZY DAY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AS THE POWERFUL STORM
SYSTEM YESTERDAY HAD MOVED INTO THE EASTERN UNITED STATES LEAVING
THE REGION ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. HIGH
PRESSURE CONTINUED TO BUILD IN AT THE SURFACE.TEMPERATURES WERE
AT OR JUST BELOW FORECAST HIGHS AS VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY
SHOWED CLOUDS THINNING ACROSS THE WESTERN AND SOUTHERN AREAS OF
THE COUNTY WARNING AREA.

AS THE MAJOR STORM SYSTEM CONTINUES TO PUSH INTO THE EASTERN
UNITED STATES...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO BUILD IN ALOFT AND AT
THE SURFACE THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK AND EVEN INTO THE
WEEKEND. A SECONDARY REINFORCING COOL FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE
COUNTY WARNING AREA THURSDAY. EXPECT THIS FRONT WILL BE ABSENT OF
ANY PRECIPITATION AS MOISTURE AND UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS WILL NOT BE
ENOUGH TO OVERCOME THE STRONG STABILITY IN PLACE.

COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN THE MAIN STORY OVER
THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS COLD NIGHT TEMPERATURES AND COOL DAYTIME
TEMPERATURES WILL PREVAIL. A WARMUP WILL BEGIN LATE SATURDAY INTO
SUNDAY AS SOUTHERLY FLOW RETURNS TO THE REGION.

THE NEXT MAJOR WEATHER SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP OVER THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST ON MONDAY AND MOVE INTO THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES LATE
TUESDAY. WE DO EXPECT THIS STORM SYSTEM TO HAVE QUITE A BIT OF
ENERGY AVAILABLE AND THEREFORE WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE TOWARDS
WEDNESDAY FOR THE NEXT POSSIBLE ACTIVE WEATHER. FOR NOW
THOUGH...EXPECT BEAUTIFUL WEATHER AND HAVE SOME GREAT OUTDOOR
ADVENTURES FOR THE 7 DAY FORECAST.

&&

.AVIATION...
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY LOOSEN ITS HOLD OVER THE
AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY
INTO THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING AND THEN DROP OFF
CONSIDERABLY OVERNIGHT. THE SURFACE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
AWAY FROM THE REGION THROUGH THE EVENING ALLOWING FOR WRAP AROUND
CLOUDS TO BEGIN PULLING AWAY FROM THE AREA TONIGHT....THIS WILL
HELP DECREASE CLOUDINESS WITH MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED.

&&

.MARINE...
STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY SUBSIDE AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT RELAXES AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE
COASTAL WATERS. A GALE WARNING WILL CONTINUE FOR THE OFFSHORE
COASTAL WATERS TILL 6 PM...OTHERWISE...WILL EXTEND SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY CONDITIONS OVER THE OPEN WATERS UNTIL 12Z TOMORROW.
WINDS AND SEAS WILL CONTINUED TO EASE DOWN EVEN THOUGH A BRIEF
BUMP UP IN THE WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED THURSDAY AS A SECONDARY
REINFORCING FRONT MOVES INTO THE COASTAL WATERS. HIGH PRESSURE
WILL SETTLE AND BECOME ANCHORED OVER THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH
THE WEEKEND.
