$$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 May 9, 3:41 AM CDT, 24 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 9, 3:41 AM CDT, 24 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 341 AM CDT Tue May 9 2017 .SYNOPSIS... Not a whole lot of difference in the weather situation this early morning from 24 hours ago. A surface high is centered over the northeast Gulf of Mexico, helping to provide light southeast winds over the forecast area, with temperatures and dew points slightly higher than this time yesterday. Water vapor imagery and upper air analysis shows an upper level disturbance over eastern Canada through the New England states. Meanwhile, another significant upper level low is noted over the northern Baja area. In-between the two, an upper level ridge is noted from northern old Mexico and the western Gulf of Mexico across the forecast area into the Southern Plains. The ridge has strengthened some over the region as 09/00Z upper air data shows height rises at both the 70H and 50H levels over KLCH. East Pacific moisture is being carried in the upper levels by the jet stream over the ridge and into the forecast area in the form of extensive cirrus, and thus less radiational cooling that has kept enough of a separation between air temperature and dew point that fog formation has been limited to very isolated in nature. Rua && .DISCUSSION... Weather features will move slowly over the next few days with blocking pattern in place. Surface ridge will keep mainly a light flow off the Gulf into the forecast area, with a slow increase in low level moisture and humidity values through mid-week, with a better chance of daytime heating type cu. During this time frame, the upper level low over northern Baja will remain cut off, allowing upper level ridge to amplify over the region. This will help keep any chance of rain out of the forecast and keep cu development in check through mid week. Still some slight differences in the guidance, however, in general by late in the week, upper level low will finally start to move to the east and be east of the Rockies and in the Southern Plains on Thursday, moving further east on Friday, with GFS taking it into the Lower Mississippi Valley by the end of the day, with ECMWF taking it further north into the Mid Mississippi Valley. As this occurs. upper level ridge will break down on Thursday. Initial short wave energy to affect the northwest portion of the forecast area during the daytime on Thursday, and combined with sufficient Gulf moisture and daytime heating, a few showers and thunderstorms will form. With further short wave energy to allow for nocturnal showers and a few storms across the forecast area during the overnight on Thursday Night and early Friday morning. As the upper level trough moves to the east, it will help to push a cold front across the forecast area. As of 09/00Z, the guidance is closer together in the timing during the afternoon hours, with ECMWF still a tad faster. Best moisture values will be over eastern portions of the forecast area, with progs showing PWAT around 1.75 inches and Mean RH around 70 percent, compared to PWAT around 1.40 inches and Mean RH around 60 percent further west into Southeast Texas. Therefore, pops will be higher over Acadiana. Still some uncertainty as to how strong any convection may be with the front, being this far out. With that said, parameters not looking quite as good as previous runs. 40 to 50 knot mid level jet streak does make its way across the forecast area during frontal passage, helping to rise 0-6 km shear values to around 40 knots. However, this will be mostly speed shear, as wind profiles become more uniform. ECMWF not as robust with instability as an earlier frontal passage keeps destabilization down, and progged MU CAPE values around 2000 j/kg, compared to 3000 j/kg on the GFS, which has a later frontal passage. Lapse rates at both the low levels and mid levels are only so-so, with best values staying at or below 6.5 c/km. With track of surface low and best upper level dynamics staying to the north and northeast of the forecast area, most likely scenario at this point is for scattered showers developing ahead of the front, becoming more numerous the further east, with embedded isolated thunderstorms staying sub-severe. Once the front passes, high pressure will build in again, with dry continental air providing good weather for the weekend. Rua && .MARINE... Surface high is centered this early morning over the northeast Gulf of Mexico. Flow around the high is bringing onshore flow across the coastal waters. Bit of a nocturnal jet has increased winds over the western portions, with speeds near small craft exercise caution range. Surface high will remain over the northeast Gulf and Southeast US for the next few days, keeping onshore flow through Thursday. Wind speeds look to increase during the night time hours as conditions favor nocturnal jet, and speeds will be near small craft exercise caution values of between 15 and 20 knots, before lowering after sunrise. A cold front is expected to move across the coastal waters on late Friday afternoon into Friday evening. Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms are expected ahead of the front beginning late Thursday night and until the front passes. Behind the front, a moderate offshore flow is expected for Friday night. Rua && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
