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 Lake Charles, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Jan 21, 5:51 AM CST, 3 hours 2 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 21, 5:51 AM CST, 3 hours 2 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lake Charles LA
551 AM CST Sat Jan 21 2017

.DISCUSSION...
12Z TAFS

&&

.AVIATION...
A line of thunderstorms that pushed across the area overnight has
nearly stalled just to the southeast of ARA. As such, VCTS to TSRA
can be expected at ARA for the next couple of hours before what is
left of the line pushes into southeast LA. Elsewhere, activity has
come to an end. Winds turned briefly northward behind the
boundary, but most sites have already veered back S or SE.

Another round of showers and thunderstorms is expected to develop
this afternoon into this evening in association with a rapidly
developing surface low and cold front. Activity is not expected to
be as widespread as this most recent event. However, scattered
thunderstorms with a few on the stronger side is anticipated.
Inserted VCTS at all sites beginning between 19 and 21Z.

Behind the front winds will turn northerly and increase
significantly as a rapidly tightening pressure gradient
surrounding the passing low influences the area. The strongest
winds will develop during the day Sunday just beyond the scope of
this forecast package.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 459 AM CST Sat Jan 21 2017/

DISCUSSION...
The airmass was stabilizing from west to east this morning after
a very stormy night in which high winds and large hail swept
through the area. South central Louisiana continued to see showers
and thunderstorms at this hour.

Satellite imagery showed clearing skies across southeast Texas
and southwest Louisiana. However...we also noted that low clouds
were already returning to central Texas and approaching our
southeast Texas counties this morning. Temperatures were in the
upper 50s to lowers 60s except for a pocket of lower 70s across
the morgan city area of Louisiana.

Expecting to have a decent day today with clouds remaining with us
but the rain mostly confined to the eastern areas. However...a
strong upper level trough was poised to move into Texas and
Oklahoma this evening resulting in moisture and instability
returning to our area late this afternoon into tonight. Showers
and thunderstorms are expected to develop this evening along and
ahead of the cold front tonight. Widespread Severe weather is
expected to be well east of our area...so we are expecting
general thunderstorm activity Saturday night as opposed to what we
had overnight. Keep fingers crossed that we only see isolated
severe weather if any.

As the upper level storm system shifts east on Sunday...Northwest
winds are expected to be brisk on the back side of the low. We
will probably have wind advisory conditions on Sunday. Will let
the dayshift get another look before issuing said product.

High pressure and cooler conditions will setup Sunday through
Tuesday as high pressure prevails. However...Temperatures will
trend back upward beginning Tuesday ahead of the next cold front
which is expected to bring rain chances back into the picture
Tuesday and Wednesday. High pressure will settle back in Thursday
and Friday with dry weather returning.

MARINE...
A upper level disturbance will move away from the area this
morning allowing for decreased rain chances for today. Rains will
return again tonight ahead of the next strong upper level trough
and cold front which will swing through the area by early Sunday.
Dangerously strong winds are expected to develop in the wake of
the front along with unusually high seas. A gale watch is in
effect late tonight into late sunday night.
