What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this flash flood watch went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Lake Charles, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood watch went out at Aug 25, 4:00 PM CDT, 9 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 25, 4:00 PM CDT, 9 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lake Charles LA
400 PM CDT Fri Aug 25 2017
.DISCUSSION...
Radar/satellite imagery show now cat 3 Harvey approaching the cntl
TX coast. Regional 88Ds show the outer bands from the storm
spreading inland from the nwrn Gulf across primarily the srn 1/2
of the forecast area at the moment. Occasional spinups noted on
KLCH 88D have prompted SPC to issue a tornado watch for the
coastal zones west of Marsh Island and adjacent coastal waters
until 07z/02L tonight. Additional bands of convection are noted
further offshore.
Harvey continues to be the primary story for pretty much the
entire forecast period again this afternoon. Forecast for the
storm remains pretty straight ahead over the first 24 hours...move
ashore late tonight in vicinity of KCRP, then slow considerably
over Deep South TX. Primary medium-range guidance is in good
agreement on the storm meandering close to its landfall point into
Sunday before starting a nnewd drift...with a day 5 point
(Wednesday) still only west of Galveston Bay. Beyond this time,
still decent agreement with the system pushing farther slowly
nnewd into a void/weakness left behind by a departing mid/upper
trof pushing off the Atlantic coast late next week. With forecast
soundings indicating mean RH values well above 80 percent and PWAT
values well above 2.0 inches, expecting showers/storms to be very
widespread starting this weekend and lingering well into the new
week.
WPC projections show storm total rainfalls ranging from nearly 19
inches at Sea Rim State Park to around 7 inches across extreme
nern Avoyelles Parish. Initial QPFs exceeding flood guidance are
noted mainly across sern TX for now, and thus a Flash Flood Watch
has been issued for this area starting 21z/16L. No doubt this
watch will be extended both in area and time over the next few
days as the event unfolds, given the huge rainfall amounts
expected. Also, the Coastal Flood Advisory remains unchanged at
this time.
Thanks to WFO HGX for coordination this afternoon.
