Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New Orleans LA
422 PM CDT SAT AUG 6 2016

.SHORT TERM...
Not as much convection across the forecast area most of the
showers and storms have remained along the coast. Still thinking
that there could be more development later on just before sunset
as most of the heaviest convection has been well north of the area
in Central Mississippi and those storms have a southerly movement.
We will have to see if anything develops along any outflow
boundaries as they move south this evening, but if nothing
happens today with these boundaries we will have to watch them for
development tomorrow as they could settle across the northern
portions of the forecast area and help enhance convection for
tomorrow. The heat continues for tomorrow but I think that Sunday
may be the last day of really having to worry about high heat
indices for the rest of the week. It will still be pretty warm
Sunday with heat index values expected to stay below Heat Advisory
criteria, but we will still have to monitor and update in the next
forecast package. 13/MH

.LONG TERM...
Moving into next week the relief from the heat could come in the
form of a prolonged rainy pattern that could lead to some flooding
issues across the Gulf Coast. Guidance for the last few days has
been pointing at this upper low over the northeastern Gulf of
Mexico creating a abundant amount of rain starting Monday through
next weekend over the Deep South. The National Hurricane Center
even highlights this area with a 20 percent of tropical
development over the next few days. We do not think this will
become a tropical system...however there will be ample tropical
moisture across the Deep South including our forecast area.
Precipitable water values for most of the week will be in the 2.3
to 2.5 inch range which is very high for this time of year. We see
these values and higher with tropical systems and this type of
moisture will be readily available for any shower or storm that
develops this week. This is concerning because not only will there
be plenty of moisture but movement of the low is very slow and the
movement of individual storms or clusters of storms will be slow
as well. Expect rain each day this week and when it rains it
should be very efficient. The Weather Prediction Center paints a
bullseye of 14 inches of rain just off Alabama coast south of
Mobile over the next 7 days. In the same timeframe, we could see a
very tight gradient of rainfall accumulations over our area with
as little as 1 to 2 inches over southwest Mississippi to possibly
5 to 7 inches over the Mississippi Gulf Coast counties over the
next 7 days. We will have to really watch the evolution of this
situation over the next few days as some sort of flood watch may
be needed at some point next week. All interests along the Gulf
Coast needs to be aware of the forecast over the next week as a
prolonged rain event seems to be in the cards. 13/MH

&&

.AVIATION...
Main concerns aviation wise will continue to be convection
through this evening. With any tsra lowered cigs and reduced vsbys
will be possible...likely leading to IFR and possibly LIFR status.
Outside of convection most sites will stick to VFR status however
the typical problem sites may see shallow light br again during
the early morning hours. /CAB/

&&

.MARINE...
Troughiness remains along the coast and should continue for the next
several days. Showers and thunderstorms continue to fire along this
boundary and move east along the trough interface. Expect rounds of
nocturnal thunderstorms to develop each night through much of the
week. Most of this activity should stay along and east of the
Mississippi River over the next several days.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST
LOUISIANA...SOUTH MISSISSIPPI AND THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

A HEAT ADVISORY IS IN THROUGH TODAY WITH MAX HEAT INDEX READINGS
REACHING 108 TO 112 DEGREES BEFORE RAIN COOLS SOME LOCATIONS.

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TODAY. A FEW STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE TODAY. THE GREATEST RISK WILL BE
DOWNBURST WIND GUSTS 40 TO 60 MPH...FREQUENT TO CONTINUOUS
LIGHTNING STRIKES AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL THAT CAN RESULT IN
LOCALIZED FLOODING OF LOW LYING AND POORLY DRAINED AREAS.
WATERSPOUTS AND TROPICAL FUNNELS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED EACH DAY. A FEW STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE AGAIN SUNDAY. THE GREATEST RISK WILL
BE DOWNBURST WIND GUSTS 40 TO 60 MPH...FREQUENT TO CONTINUOUS
LIGHTNING STRIKES AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL THAT CAN RESULT IN
LOCALIZED FLOODING OF LOW LYING AND POORLY DRAINED AREAS.
WATERSPOUTS AND TROPICAL FUNNELS WILL BE POSSIBLE EACH
DAY.

THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN WILL BE A CONCERN FROM MID WEEK
AND INTO THE WEEKEND. A SYSTEM WILL MEANDER OVER THE NORTHEASTERN
GULF OF MEXICO THROUGH THE WEEK AND SLOWLY SLIDE WEST ALONG THE
COAST. VERY ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL ACCOMPANY THIS SYSTEM AND
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE...ESPECIALLY OVER
COASTAL MISSISSIPPI THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
VERY EFFICIENT AND VERY HEAVY RAINFALL COULD OCCUR IN A SHORT
TIME. TOTAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH SATURDAY COULD RANGE
FROM AS LITTLE AS 1 TO 2 INCHES IN EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN
MISSISSIPPI TO POSSIBLY 5 TO 7 INCHES OF RAIN WITH LOCALLY HIGHERS
AMOUNTS OVER COASTAL MISSISSIPPI AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED. HOWEVER...ANY STORM DAMAGE
SHOULD BE PROMPTLY REPORTED TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
OFFICE IN SLIDELL.
