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 29, 9:11 AM CDT, 21 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 29, 9:11 AM CDT, 21 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lake Charles LA
911 AM CDT Thu Jun 29 2017

.UPDATE...
Light to moderate showers and thunderstorms with embedded heavier
activity continues to move over the parts of Southeast Texas and
Southwest Louisiana that have been hardest hit by flash flooding
this morning. Observed and estimated rainfall totals so far this
morning have been in the 6.5 to 8 inch range across parts of
Calcasieu parish and 4 to 6 inches across parts of Orange county.
This places the six hourly rainfall total in the 150 to 200 year
return period with what appears to be quite a bit more potentially
on the way.

Only minor tweaks made to POPs this morning to raise them where
rain is occurring or imminent. The recently issued flash flood
watch lines up well where the heaviest rainfall appears to be
setting up.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 809 AM CDT Thu Jun 29 2017/

DISCUSSION...
Given what has transpired across SE TX into SW LA early this
morning, and seeing convective growth over the coastal waters
which is likely to spread inland, opted to go ahead an issue a
Flash Flood Watch roughly along and SE of an Alexandria to
Beaumont line for the rest of the day.

13

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 529 AM CDT Thu Jun 29 2017/

DISCUSSION...
Upper level trof axis extends roughly from NE LA southwest to
along the TX coast this morning, while an E-W oriented SFC to H7
trof stretched just inland along the LA coast. Primary forecast
concern is rainfall today, including the risk of locally heavy
rainfall.

LAPS analysis along with satellite derived TPW indicate much of LA
within a plume of deep moisture characterized by PWAT values of 2
to 2.35 inches, or near +2 standard deviations. Lift generated by
convergence focused near the LL boundary coupled with divergence
aloft via an upper jet across the Gulf Coast states is helping
facilitate ongoing convection this morning over SE TX/S LA. There
is a fair amount of spread in model guidance with regard to
highest QPF placement today, but generally speaking the I-10
corridor southward across SE TX/SW LA is the favored zone early
this morning, with rainfall tending to lift/expand NE with time in
conjunction with the NE mvmt of the relevant SFC and upper level
features. Deep convection will be capable of intense rainfall
rates, and any training and/or back-building will quickly become
problematic. For the time being have held off on a Flash Flood
Watch in favor of locally heavy rainfall wording given what
appears to be a more localized risk, but will continue to
monitor/evaluate radar trends and incoming guidance the rest of
the morning.

Beyond today, deep layer ridging will begin to build across the
NRN Gulf, reaching peak strength over the weekend before easing a
bit early next week.

13

MARINE...
An upper level trof of low pressure over the northwest Gulf
coupled with a surface trough of low pressure along the coast
will result in modest south winds and numerous showers and
thunderstorms today. These features are forecast to lift northeast
and away from the area tonight, with decreasing winds and more
isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms expected Friday.
High pressure is expected to build over the area by Saturday,
resulting in drier conditions through the weekend and much of next
week.
