$$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 Jun 6, 9:30 AM CDT, 1 hour 7 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 6, 9:30 AM CDT, 1 hour 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 930 AM CDT Tue Jun 6 2017 .UPDATE... Scattered showers ongoing across parts of acadiana this morning while the rest of the region remains deceptively quiet. Expect scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms to develop area wide by late this morning and into this afternoon. A cold front will move through the area tonight bringing rain chances to an end and ushering in cooler, drier air. Lowered POPS a bit across southeast Texas this morning to better align with radar observations, but the rest of the forecast package is in good shape. Jones && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 619 AM CDT Tue Jun 6 2017/ AVIATION...An upper level low will continue to create scattered to numerous showers and storms through the day. Lower vis and ceilings can be expected. Conditions can be expected to improve through the second half of the TAF period. PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 429 AM CDT Tue Jun 6 2017/ DISCUSSION... Latest upper air analysis/water vapor satellite imagery showed an upper trof axis over the NW Gulf Coast region, with several embedded smaller scale vortices embedded within its cyclonic flow. SFC analysis revealed a broad low offshore the SC/SE LA coast. Isolated to scattered convection has developed overnight within a still very moist airmass (PWATS near 2 inches per KLCH 00Z RAOB) amid the deep layer trof. While the upper trof and associated SFC low are expected to continue slowly meandering to the east, increasing diurnal instability is expected to yield more numerous showers and thunderstorms. Widespread/organized heavy rain is not expected, but convection will continue to be capable of high rainfall rates which could yield locally heavy rain events. As these features slowly move off to the east tonight and begin to become absorbed within a more significant trof dropping south through the Great Lakes, deep northerly flow will aid in driving a cold front through the region, finally ridding us of this moisture laden airmass and bringing an end to the recent wet period. Cooler temperatures (particularly at night) and much drier air will prevail for the rest of the work week and into the start of the weekend. A deep moist fetch returning by the latter half of the weekend into early next week, coupled with at least a weakness aloft (ECMWF) or a more defined trof (GFS), will lead to increasing rain chances SUN and MON. 13 MARINE... Weak surface low pressure exiting the eastern waters early this morning has resulted in a light offshore flow developing. These north winds will increase tonight into early Wednesday as a cold front pushes offshore. Exercise caution headlines may be required for parts of the Gulf waters. Showers and thunderstorms will continue to be possible until the passage of the front, with dry weather expected to prevail thereafter into the start of the weekend. 13 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
