Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lake Charles LA
1258 PM CDT Thu Aug 24 2017

.DISCUSSION...
For 18z TAF issuance.

&&

.AVIATION...
Local 88Ds show convection off to a delayed start today, finally
getting going around Vermilion Bay last 30 minutes...followed this
trend by adjusting TEMPOs to show earliest onset at KARA/KLFT,
then remaining sites a little later. Outside of convection, VFR
conditions should prevail the remainder of the afternoon and into
the evening hours. Forecast time-height sections show increasing
low-level moisture late tonight for KLCH/KBPT so have thrown in
some MVFR ceilings prior to sunrise at these locations. VCSH was
brought in as well for the swrn sites after sunrise, but the main
story tomorrow (at least during this TAF period) looks to be the
increasing erly flow as gradient begins to tighten as Harvey
pushes farther nwwd toward the TX coast.

25

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1115 AM CDT Thu Aug 24 2017/

DISCUSSION...
Current forecast on target. Scattered showers and thunderstorms
over the outer coastal waters this morning. Anticipate development
across inland areas later today owing to diurnal instability and
an E-W oriented stationary front situated from near KBPT to KOPL.
SFC dewpoints N of the boundary are a little lower /lower- mid
70s/ with mid/upper 70s still prevalent over the I-10 corridor
southward.

To the south, Harvey has become markedly better organized and
intensified over the past 12 HRS or so, and according to the last
NHC advisory, is currently near hurricane strength. Satellite
imagery since that time has continued to improve, and the latest
NHC forecast now calls for strengthening to a major hurricane
prior to landfall along the middle TX coast about midway between
Corpus Christi and Palacios. Track dilemma post landfall continues
with a distinct split in guidance between a stall and eventual
dissipation over S TX or a stall and subsequent ejection to the
E/NE. Will address this more with the afternoon package along with
potential impacts to our area.

13

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 640 AM CDT Thu Aug 24 2017/

AVIATION...Increasing shower and thunderstorm activity can be
expected across the forecast area today. This as low pressure
aloft remains over the region and a weak frontal boundary slips
south over the area. Winds will remain light from the east. VFR
will continue to prevail except with convection.

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 458 AM CDT Thu Aug 24 2017/

DISCUSSION...
A weak cool front has pushed almost to the coast this morning as
the radar indicates showers and thunderstorms over the coastal
waters... storms are moving to the northwest. Temperatures across
central Louisiana and the lakes region of southeast Texas are in
the lower 70s while temperatures along the coast are in the middle
70s with a light north wind.

Overnight Harvey has strengthen and is now a Tropical Storm.
Latest stlt images are showing convection associated with the
storms expanding over the southwest gulf down in the Bay of
Campeche. Harvey is moving to the northwest slowly and looks to
make landfall along the middle Texas coast by Saturday morning.
Sea surface temperatures are running in the mid 80s.

Last night sounding has precip water around 2.03 inches but this
will drop a bit as drier air filters in. But moisture will lift
out and above the weak cool front and scattered showers and
thunderstorms are expected across the area today. Temperatures
will also be a bit cooler as clouds and rains hinder temperatures
from climbing into the lower 90s.

Showers and thunderstorms are expected to remain a threat through
tonight as moisture lifts above the boundary.

On Friday rain chances will increase as Harvey approaches the
middle Texas coast. Harvey is expected to become a hurricane prior
to landfall and is projected to stall just inland from the Texas
coast as an upper level ridge to the northwest blocks Harvey
movements inland along with getting hung up with the stalled
frontal boundary. This is expected to produce very heavy rains
along the middle Texas coast through the weekend. Some movement of
the remains of Harvey will begin on Monday into Tuesday as an
upper level trof drops down into the central US allowing for the
storm to move to the northeast and into southern Louisiana on
Wednesday. As this will be a slow event to unfold rainfall totals
of five to eight inches are expected with higher amounts around
the region. Winds and seas will pick up in the coastal waters as
Harvey moves up the Texas coast and into the Louisiana coastal
waters.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of central
Louisiana, south central Louisiana, southwest Louisiana, west
central Louisiana, and southeast Texas.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight
A cool front is moving through southern Louisiana this morning and
looks to move into the gulf. Scattered showers and thunderstorms
on tap for today and tonight. Storms today will produce cloud to
ground lightning and gusty winds.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday
Tropical Storm Harvey is expected to move to the northwest and
into the middle Texas coast by Saturday morning. Harvey is
expected to strengthen into a hurricane on Friday prior to
landfall. Looking for showers and thunderstorms over the weekend
and into next week as this will be a prolong event. An upper level
ridge will block Harvey from moving deeper into Texas. By Monday
Harvey will push the front to the northeast... this will allow
area coverage of storms to increase through the beginning of next
week. Rainfall totals at this time are expected to range from five
to eight inches.
