lead to flash flooding, especially given lingering moist grounds 
from heavy rains over the past weekend.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lake Charles LA
330 PM CDT Tue May 2 2017

.DISCUSSION...
Mid-afternoon sfc analysis shows high pressure centered over the
sern CONUS while low pressure is noted over sern NM/far wrn
TX...combo of the two providing a somewhat elevated srly flow
across the forecast area at this time. However as noted earlier
the drier wrly flow aloft and its weak capping is cutting off any
cu development with vis imagery/sfc obs showing clear skies
continuing. Water vapor imagery is also showing a strong
shortwave...our next weather maker...crossing the Desert SW/nwrn
Mexico this afternoon, with another weaker disturbance crossing
the Rockies.

No significant changes to previous thinking regarding our coming
rain event. POPs return to the area late tonight as the shortwave
helps deepen the sfc low over TX, in turn pulling a warm front up
the TX coast through the night. Showers/few storms will begin to
develop along this boundary, pushing inland from the swrn zones
through the morning. Meanwhile the disturbance over the Rockies
will continue pushing ewd, pushing through the wrn Gulf region
into Thursday. With forecast soundings indicating moisture
increasing to around 2.0 inches over much of the area, widespread
showers and thunderstorms will develop through the day and into
the night as the low pulls an associated cold front across the
area...likely in the form of a squall line with the frontal
passage. Forecast soundings show good CAPEs, lapse rates, shear
and helicities, especially across the extreme nrn zones where SPC
has placed an enhance risk of severe weather...thus severe mention
was inserted for tomorrow afternoon/evening for these areas.

Other primary concern at the moment, on the heels of our heavy
rain/flooding event over the weekend, is the potential for more
flooding with the heavy rains tomorrow. WPC has placed the entire
forecast area in a slight risk for excessive rainfall tomorrow,
with average QPFs in the 1.5-2.5 inch range for the wrn zones...
rising to 2.0-3.0 inches east of the Sabine. With rainfall amounts
exceeding 5 inches across part of cntl/swrn LA with the past
event and grounds possibly still being fairly moist, the flood
threat tomorrow is real and thus a Flash Flood Watch is being
issued for our LA zones from I-10 nwd, effective noon tomorrow to
12z Thursday.

Showers/storms should come to an end for most of the forecast
area by mid-day Thursday as the front sweeps through the region.
The remainder of the forecast period looks dry on the heels of the
frontal passage as nwrly flow takes over through the column.
Temps will once again be below normal for Thursday night through
Friday night before returning to more seasonal values for the
weekend with sfc high pressure building past the area.

Thanks to WFOs JAN/LIX/HGX/SHV for coordination today.

&&

.MARINE...
Long term SCEC headlines were inserted this morning as winds are
progged to increase to 15-20 knots tonight. SCA-criteria winds
look on tap for the outer waters by sunrise Tuesday and expect
advisory headlines to be introduced tonight. A quick shot of
SCA-criteria offshore flow is progged behind the front. No other
flags are anticipated on the coastal waters the remainder of the
period.
