820 AM CDT Sun Apr 2 2017

...SOUNDING DISCUSSION...
The sounding this morning already has an increase in moisture from
yesterday with PW at 1 inch, though mainly confined to the first
1500 ft where conditions are saturated. Strong onshore flow and
mixing today will continue to increase low level moisture. Winds
are near 30 kts from the southeast at 950 mb. There is a broad
inversion layer through 750 mb, which will likely keep the
atmosphere across southeast LA capped through at least midday or
later. Steep mid level lapse rates are already present. We expect
the atmosphere to significantly modify through the day. The Lake
Charles 12z release already has very high severe parameters. The
boundary of this airmass thus lies along the coast between our two
locations. Looking at a couple of the low level moisture products
in the (preliminary non-operational) new GOES 16 data, we can see
some subtle striations across south cental LA that match up
closely with the stronger southeast sfc winds and 70 degree
dewpoints. We believe this mesoscale boundary to represent the
developing warm front and will be tracking its frontogenesis
closely today.

Morning hi-res guidance indicates the cap will hold across
southeast LA during daytime hours. However... due to the volatile
airmass arriving with the warm front and moisture convergence
along the coast we feel that the severe threat could begin by
midday across western areas. Any storms that develop in this
environment will be severe. We will continue to watch the early
development west of Lafayette this morning as well.

.CHAP...
Ran CHAP on 12Z LIX sounding on a 339K lift from 850 mb. This is
embedded within the capped air currently but should mix out in time
with daytime heating and top-down convective processes. The output
shows a 100% chance of rain, 48% chance of severe storms with a
Ricks Index 158. Gust potential 62 kt/71 mph, hail potential 1.25
inch (half-dollar size) with a relatively low VIL of 52. Tornado
potential is EF-2. Precipitation 4.09" with potential 7.76". At this
point, this does appear contingent on the ability to overcome the
cap, but all of the mode outputs appear reasonable and attainable in
the current synoptic situation. 24/RR

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 429 AM CDT Sun Apr 2 2017/

DISCUSSION...
The potential for a widespread heavy rain event tonight is looking
more and more likely. WPC has issued a slight to moderate risk for
excessive rainfall over much of the forecast area. In addition to
heavy rainfall, severe thunderstorms will be possible as well with a
slight to moderate risk.

An upper low is currently moving east across northern Mexico into
West Texas will track east into Central Texas today before moving
northeast to the southern plains tonight. This will put the local
area between the jet wrapping around the upper low and subtropical
jet. Low level convergence and upper divergence will be very strong
in the general region of difluence across Louisiana and Mississippi.
Gulf moisture will surge northward into the area ahead of the
approaching system this evening and overnight. Surface dewpoints are
expected to reach into the lower 70s. Looking at GFS and NAM model
soundings, atmospheric moisture levels will be EXTREMELY HIGH with
peak precip water values ranging from 1.8-2" as convection moves
across the CWA. For reference, the 90th percentile for this time of
year is less than 1.5". So hitting the 2" mark is well into record
territory. Seeing numbers like that definitely increases the concern
for a heavy rainfall event. The ECMWF has been the most consistent
model from run to run, suggesting the heaviest rain to be over
southern and southeast LA vs the GFS's solution of central MS. Areal
coverage of 3-6" will be possible with isolated amounts possibly
reaching upwards of 8-10". Those amounts are roughly over about a 12-
18 hour period from this afternoon through Monday morning.
Convection may start nudging into western zones this afternoon
before 00z, so have increased pops to 60% there. A flash flood watch
remains in effect with no changes made to that product.

As noted earlier, there is a slight to moderate risk for severe
weather tonight. Before the column becomes completely saturated, mid
level dry air will still be in place. Mid level cooling and
increasing surface moisture will steepen mid level lapse rates and
decrease LI's. The close proximity of the upper low to the CWA will
result in quite strong winds throughout the boundary layer and thus
increase shear values to 30-50 knots. SRH at the same time should be
over 200 m2/s2. Those parameters suggest increased threat for
damaging winds and a few tornadoes. The window of opportunity for
surface based convection will be relatively short if model soundings
are correct in showing a warm nose developing around 03Z. This trend
will progress east with time. A general lowering of severe threat
will take place in eastern zones as well. The best chance for
strongest storms at this times appears to be NW of a Donaldsonville
to Franklinton line.

There will even more weather impacts to the CWA besides possible
flash flooding and severe weather. The pressure gradient over the
region will be tightening as a sub-1000mb sfc low develops and moves
across northeast TX and eastern OK tonight. This enhance low level
flow and elevate southeasterly winds significantly. MAV guidance
indicated sustained winds near 25 mph reaching as far north as I-12.
Therefore, will be issuing a wind advisory for coastal MS and much
of SELA. Additionally, increasing astronomical tides in combination
with strong onshore flow will likely result in minor coastal
flooding. Thinking that tides will be 1-2 feet above normal. Thus,
will be issuing a coastal flood advisory for SE facing shores of the
CWA.

The heavier rain threat should be rapidly moving east Monday as the
upper trough races ENE. Will likely have sunny skies by the
afternoon, especially for western portions of the CWA.

A return to warmer temperatures and no rainfall is expected Monday
through Tuesday. Models show a much deeper long wave trough tracking
across the country through the middle of the week. This will bring
the threat of rainfall back to the region Wednesday. Much colder air
will filter into the forecast area Thursday and Friday behind a cold
front associated with that system. Expect a 15 to 20 degree drop in
temps Thurs with a gradual moderation thereafter.

MEFFER

AVIATION...
Conditions will begin to slowly deteriorate today. Ceilings to be
prevailing at BKN010 OVC060. These decks will begin to lower and
thicken through the day and overnight to BKN003 OVC030. Will also
start TS as prevailing conditions for all sites with a west to
east timing.

MARINE...
Extended the areal coverage of exercise caution conditions to
include all coastal waters. Small craft advisories will also be
posted with this package and include all areas starting around 6pm
today going through roughly noon Monday. Winds are expected to
remain sustained tonight at 25 to 30kt with gusts to gale force
tonight and a portion of Monday. Seas will follow suite and remain
rather high all the way to the surf zone. Once winds become more
offshore, seas will show an evolving pattern from nearshore to
offshore.

As the front pushes east of the region Monday night and Tuesday
winds will turn westerly gradually and fall back to 10 to 15 knots.
Seas will also gradually ease, and should be in the 3 to 5 feet
range by Tuesday afternoon.  A ridge of high pressure will shift
east of the area by Tuesday night allowing winds to shift back to
the south-southeast.  The winds should increase back to between 15
and 20 knots and possibly higher by Wednesday afternoon as a cold
front moves through the region.  Strong northwest flow of 20 to 25
knots should then develop over all of the waters Wednesday night and
Thursday as a colder and drier airmass advects in behind the front.
Seas will also increase from 3 to 5 feet back up to 5 to 7 feet due
to these winds.

East and West Baton Rouge Parishes, Pointe Coupee Parish, and
Iberville Parish. Elsewhere, a slight risk of excessive rainfall
will exist during the same time.

A flash flood watch is in effect through 3 pm Monday. Total
rainfall accumulations through Monday are expected to be 3 to 6
inches with isolated higher amounts possible.

A wind advisory will begin at 7 pm today through 10 am Monday for
winds around 25 mph with higher gusts. This will include all
areas along and south of the interstate 10/12 corridor.

A coastal flood advisory will begin at 1 pm today through 7 pm
Monday for most coastal counties and parishes as tides should
rise to 1 to 2 feet above normal.

A small craft advisory will begin at 6 pm today through 1 pm
Monday.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

All warnings, advisories, and risk levels are expected to lower
through the day Monday. Otherwise, no hazardous weather is
expected.
