Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New Orleans LA
359 AM CST Tue Feb 7 2017
.SHORT TERM...
Some differences coming up for today. Strong thermodynamics will
move into the area rapidly this morning causing the column from
sfc-3km to cool very fast making lapse rates increase from 5C at
6am to 7C+ at 8am. The cooling will be in response to a strong
short wave moving out of north Texas this morning into the base
of the larger upper trough that has been over the conus for
several days. This will cause sh/ts to develop very fast this
morning and several to become severe as they move northeast . A
dry air nose at 700mb will also help wet bulb zero heights fall
from 10.5kft to 9kft during the same time frame. Large hail and
continuous ligtning will be the main issues today for most areas.
A damaging wind and tornadic threat will also exist but should be
more pronounced over the northern and eastern parts of the area as
the system becomes more sfc based as it moves through. This
system becomes more enhanced as it moves to the east so the
threat of severe weather will only increase as it moves through.
Thunderstorms will move to the northeast at about 30kt to start
with and eventually move east at 30kt as the day progresses.
Fog or a low level cloud deck should develop tonight and Wed night
before a cold front moves through. This will be helped by the rainfall
input.
.LONG TERM...
A few cool days Thursday and Friday before a warming trend through
the weekend. The next system looks to possibly affect the area by
the middle of next week.
&&
.AVIATION...
High pressure will maintain onshore flow for the next 24 to 48
hours. This will allow marine layer cloud deck and some advective
fog to develop this morning and some terminals have already seen
visibilities drop below 1/4 mile. After sunrise, conditions should
improve to VFR for the late morning through early evening hours.
&&
.MARINE...
Surface high pressure over the western Atlantic will extend into the
Gulf of Mexico for the next few days. This will keep southerly flow
over the coastal waters as a surface low dropping out of the Rockies
and moving across the Central Plains will tighten the pressure
gradient. This will be enough to increase wind speeds into the 15 to
20 knot range over the offshore waters, so will continue exercise
caution headlines in the CWF through 0Z.
&&
.DECISION SUPPORT...
DSS code: Blue.
Deployed: None.
Activation: None.
Activities: Severe weather possible today.
