DISCUSSION...
14Z surface analysis shows high pressure building in from the
west this morning... promoting breezy conditions... as the surface
front exits to our east. Clouds will decrease from west to east
through this afternoon as drier conditions move in and stick
around into the long term. No major changes to the forecast grids

AVIATION...
The surface cold front has cleared all area TAF sites this morning
with only a few remnant rain showers in the vicinity of KARA and
KLFT. These light showers will continue to progress eastwards and
should clear the terminals in the next 1-2 hours. Sites currently
experiencing MVFR conditions will improve to VFR throughout the
day and give way to prevailing clear skies. Northwest winds will
remain elevated through the day at 15-20 knots gusting to 25-30.
Winds will shift to west northwesterly by this evening and
decrease to 5-10 knots.
PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 334 AM CDT Thu May 4 2017/
SYNOPSIS...
At 04/08Z or 3 AM CDT, a surface low was analyzed in Northern
Mississippi with a cold front trailing into Northeast Louisiana
then bisecting through the WFO Lake Charles forecast area to the
coast near the Cameron/Vermilion Parish border. Meanwhile, water
vapor imagery showed an upper level low over the Ozarks with short
wave energy pushing down from the Southern Plains into Northeast
Texas. As the cold front pushes across, dry air mass is pushing in
along with the waning of low level convergence, helping to end
shower and thunderstorm activity. Strongest activity for the
remainder of the early morning will be over the Gulf just beyond
the forecast area, with weakening rainfall rates over land areas
ahead of the front. Therefore, have gone ahead and cancelled what
was left of the Flash Flood Watch.
Rua
DISCUSSION...
After a rough 18 hours or so from Wednesday Morning into the
evening, the forecast area needs a break from the weather and it
looks like that is exactly what will be happening, with the reward
for enduring this event, about as good as weather conditions can
be for early May, for the end of the week into the weekend.
Upper level system will continue to move eastward today, pushing
the cold front across the remainder of the forecast area by the
beginning of the forecast period. Therefore, will not be carrying
any pops for the forecast area today. Some low level clouds from
wrap around moisture underneath the frontal inversion will likely
linger during the morning hours until the upper level trough
pushes off to the east bringing a deeper northwest flow. Bit of a
gradient today also, between the departing low pressure system and
high building down from the Plains, could make for some breezy
northwest winds. At this time it looks like wind speeds will be
just below wind advisory criteria. However, if we can get more
sunshine and solar heating then expected, then better mixing could
see wind gusts exceed criteria during the afternoon.
Friday into the weekend, upper level trough will deepen along the
east coast with an upper level ridge building across the Rockies.
This will bring a deep northwest flow with dry continental air
into the region. Meanwhile, at the surface, high pressure will
build in. This should make for sunny days with mild temperatures
and low humidity, with clear and cool nights.
Surface high will move off to the east on Sunday with southerly
winds off the Gulf returning. Early to mid week, warm and humid
conditions likely to resume with better southerly flow off the
Gulf. However, still does not look like any rain chances as mid
and upper level ridging will prevail.
Next chance of rain not until late next week giving the region a
chance for hydrologic conditions to begin to improve.
Rua
MARINE...
Cold front will continue to move across the coastal waters this
early morning. A drier and cooler air mass moving in will end
shower activity. Gradient between departing low pressure into the
Southeast US and high pressure building down from the plains,
along with cold air advection, should make for strong and gusty
offshore winds for today through tonight into early Friday, and a
Small Craft Advisory will be in effect.
Offshore winds will decrease over the weekend as a surface high
settles over the region. This high will move off to the east late
in the weekend, setting up onshore winds early next week.
Rua
HYDROLOGY...
Storm total precipitation products from KLCH/KPOE show a large swath
of heavy rainfall with amounts from half a foot to a foot
starting around northeast Hardin/southeast Tyler Counties then
across the Sabine through Beauregard and Calcasieu Parishes
continuing east-southeast across Acadiana to the Lower
Atchafalaya Basin. Alert, co-op, and official rain gauges confirm,
with measurements from 6 to 12 inches, that these estimates are in
the ball park. This will cause run-off issues. Currently, an
Areal Flood Warning is in effect for that area to cover standing
water on roadways that is especially dangerous at night. Run-off
issues will also occur for many area rivers, and all interests
along these locations should monitor the latest river forecasts
and flood statements.
It should also be noted that the ASOS at KLFT is having issues
with its precipitation accumulator. Therefore, it will be
reporting missing on the daily climate until back up data can be
gathered. Suffice to say the daily rainfall record for the date of
2.89 inches in 1922 was broken as 4.25 inches was verified
through 5 PM local. Other rainfall records for the date of May
3...LCH 5.49 inches breaking the record of 4.16 in 2000, ARA 4.93
inches breaking the record of 2.67 inches in 1978.
