Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New Orleans LA
740 AM CST Fri Jan 6 2017

.SOUNDING DISCUSSION...Flight went well this morning bursting at
6.9mb. That said this sounding will not be the fun one to see but
there has been some changes. Moisture has been on a steady
increase. PWs were 0.75" yesterday but have increased to 1.3" by
this morning, in fact the column from the sfc to about h65 is
completely saturated now. This does have some bearing on the
weather as we have basically wetbulbed already so any cooling will
now be due to CAA which is expected to occur throughout the day.
Rather steep inversion noted from h975 to h9. Temp rises from 5.6C
to 13C. Again tonights and tomorrow mornings sndg will be far
more impressive to look at as the temp in the LL should drop
significantly. Westerly winds dominated from about h85 through the
rest of the atmosphere. However winds veer with hght from the sfc
to H85 suggesting WAA in the LL(and lift) which is noted when
looking at last nights sndg. H85 temps is now 11C last night was
9.6C last night. /CAB/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 350 AM CST Fri Jan 6 2017/

SHORT TERM...
Have not made many changes to ongoing fcast this morning. Changes
made were mainly to better define the scenario with respect to
type, timing and areal extent of precip. Numbers and dynamic
attributes are still in line with current thinking from previous
forecast discussion. Sleet may start mixing with rain around noon
over the southern counties of Mississippi today. This will
eventually make its way into the adjacent Louisiana parishes and
should reach as far south as the Baton Rouge metro before ending
before midnight for those locations. The wintry mix will continue
to move east and finally exit the Mississippi coastal counties
around midnight. Some light ice accumulations can be expected over
the northern most areas through this evening.

Wintry accumulations are not expected south of the advisory area
but there will be some wintry mix nevertheless before ending this
evening. Even though the wintry mix is expected to be short lived
and melt upon contact with the ground, deep sub-freezing temps
will be moving in at the very moment the precip is moving out
after dark. This will not give enough time for elevated flat
structures to dry. The remaining water on roadways could freeze
rapidly producing large areas of "black ice" to form. This would
cause very dangerous conditions for those traveling through areas
not only within the advisory area but also adjacent and south of
the advisory.

A hard freeze for the areas north of Lake Pontchartrain and
freezing conditions south of the lake look to be the next thing
on the list for the overnight hours tonight and Saturday morning.
Wind chill temps may also be cold enough to be an issue. Would
like to revisit the wind chill issue for Saturday morning later
today. Will post the appropriate freeze warnings for the entire
area and show as a hard freeze north. This may occur again
Saturnight into Sunday morning.

LONG TERM...
Once we begin the warming trend starting Monday although temps
will still be in the chilly upper 40s to near 50. Tuesday temps
should be in the 60s. The common thing after an arctic outbreak is
bringing warmer temps and dp temps along with moisture back from
the gulf, we should see some fog problems again starting Tuesday
or Wednesday. But an extended period of warmer temps look to
stick around through much of the week.

&&

.AVIATION...IFR ceilings of 500 to 1000 feet and visibilities
ranging from 2 to 5 miles in a light to moderate rain are expected
to persist through 00z. The biggest concern is the potential for
icing issues to develop at KMCB after 21z and at KBTR and KHDC
after 00z as temperatures fall below freezing. Any ice
accumulation should be fairly light, but could impact aviation
operations at these terminals during the evening hours. The
precipitation should all come to an end by 06z tomorrow as drier
moves in. Ceilings should quickly improve back into MVFR and then
VFR range by 12z tomorrow as drier air feeds into the area. 32

&&

.MARINE...A strong arctic surge of colder and drier air will
feed into the area beginning today and persisting through the
weekend. Strong north winds of 25 to 30 knots with higher gusts
will develop over all of the waters by this evening and persist
through Saturday night. The wind field will gradually decrease
through the day on Sunday as a surface high becomes centered over
the Gulf South. By Monday, winds should veer to the southeast and
weaken to 10 to 15 knots. Seas will also react to the winds with
seas of 6 to 10 feet on Saturday and Sunday falling back to 3 to 5
feet by Monday. Winds should increase back into the range of 15 to
20 knots on Tuesday in response to a weak low pressure system
passing north of the region. By Wednesday, the wind field should
once again relax as high pressure spreads back in and relaxes the
pressure gradient over the northern Gulf. Seas will generally
range from 3 to 6 feet during the first half of the week. 32

Arctic air will cause temperatures to fall well below freezing
by dark. This will begin to occur just as precipitation is moving
out of the area. Exposed roadways will remain very wet as
temperatures fall quickly into the 20s during the late afternoon
and evening. This will cause areas of black ice to develop on
these road surfaces since there will not be enough time for travel
lanes to dry.
