Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New Orleans LA
431 PM CDT Tue Aug 29 2017
.SHORT TERM...
TS Harvey continues to move slowly across the northwest Gulf
toward the coast. Still looks to make landfall somewhere in
southwest Louisiana late tonight or early Wednesday. With an
expansion in Harvey's wind field over the last 24 hours, a
Tropical Storm Watch was hoisted for a small portion of the area
from Assumption Parish to Lower Jefferson Parish this morning.
This watch has been left in place with the afternoon update.
Main threat from Harvey will continue to be heavy rainfall and
potential for flash flooding. Radar and surface observations
indicate 3 to 8 inches of rain has fallen in the last 48 hours
roughly across the southwest half of the forecast area, with
lighter totals to the east and northeast. Ground is quickly
becoming saturated and any additional heavy rain will be quickly
converted to runoff. Biggest uncertainty at this point is whether
a dry slot wraps into the the circulation cutting off some of the
precip across the area. Unfortunately only time will tell if/where
the dry slot move in and thus have maintained definitive
POPs/wording for tomorrow and likely wording for Thursday due to
some indication that another round of banding could affect the
area tonight/Wednesday morning. That being said, an additional 4
to 8 inches of rain is not out of the question and the Flash Flood
Watch has also been left in place.
Probability of tropical storm force winds has decreased across the
local area over the last 12 hours, but remains highest in areas
near the Atchafalaya River Basin. In these areas, probability is
generally in the 15 to 25% range. Seems more likely tropical
storm force winds would come in the way of gusts within any
thunderstorms. Latest forecast looks like sustained winds in the
15 to 25 mph range will be common with frequent gusts in the 25 to
30 mph at times from the south shore up through the Baton Rouge
metro area. Have gone ahead and put up a wind advisory from 7pm
this evening through 7pm tomorrow evening in these areas. The
onset time may be a bit to early, but didn't want to get too cute
with the headline. Do think the highest threat of strong winds
will be during the day tomorrow, especially if we see any
sunshine tomorrow to enhance mixing. MAV and MET both indicating
near 20 kts sustained from Baton Rouge through New Orleans during
the day tomorrow.
Tides are still running 1 to 2 feet above normal, with up to 2
feet of inundation possible along the immediate coast outside of
the levee system. The threat is covered by the tropical storm
watch for lower Terrebonne, Lower Lafourche, and Lower Jefferson
Parishes. Elsewhere along the coast and surrounding the tidal
lakes, a coastal flood advisory remains in effect. Main impact
should be some minor flooding of low lying coastal roadways.
It's likely no one cares about the temperature forecast at this
point, but will mention that I did undercut guidance by a few
degrees owing to expected cloudiness and showers/storms moving
through the area tomorrow and Thursday.
.LONG TERM...
Harvey is expected to be lifting into the Tennessee Valley by
Friday and POPs do show a distinct downward trend as this happens.
Should see a return to a more normal summertime pattern with
scattered showers/thunderstorms each afternoon with most
convection waning after sunset. Afternoon temperatures should also
recover into the mid to upper 80s with lows generally in the low
to mid 70s north and mid to upper 70s south.
Going into next week, some questions remain surrounding the
possibility of another disturbance developing in the southern
Gulf of Mexico. At this time, the european model remains much more
aggressive than the GFS. Both do indicate a return of tropical
moisture to the area, with rain chances beginning to increase
again on Monday. This is still a long way out and the forecast
will need to be refined as the situation becomes clearer, but it
definitely looks like a trend toward increased rain chances Monday
through at least mid-week again.
&&
.AVIATION...
In general, widespread MVFR to occasional IFR category conditions
are expected through most of the TAF period due to ceilings and
visibilities restricted at times by convection. Also expect winds
to increase at terminals from New Orleans to Baton Rouge with
sustained winds of 15 to 25 knots and higher gusts, especially
in any storms.
&&
.MARINE...
A strong pressure gradient on the eastern side of Tropical Storm
Harvey will bring strong southerly winds of 20 to 30 knots to much
of the coastal waters today through Thursday. A Tropical Storm
Watch is in effect for the coastal waters west of southwest Pass
with small craft advisories in effect elsewhere. Expect seas as
high as 9 to 12 feet in the western waters beginning tonight with
lower wave/sea heights to the east. The swell will begin to ease
on Wednesday as Harvey moves inland, but wind waves will continue
to keep seas elevated into Wednesday night. As the tropical system
weakens further inland, the pressure gradient will also relax.
Winds should diminish below small craft advisory levels by
Thursday night and further weaken for the upcoming holiday
weekend. Seas will gradually respond as winds decrease.

Heavy rain bands associated with Tropical Storm Harvey could produce locally heavy rainfall resulting in street flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas today and tonight. A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect for coastal Louisiana west of the Mississippi River. Strong onshore winds of 25 to 30 mph could increase tides 1 to 2 feet above normal resulting in minor flooding of low lying roads outside of levee protected areas. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect for all of the coastal waters excluding the tidal lakes. Strong onshore winds of 20 to 30 knots and seas of 5 to 8 feet east of the river and 9 to 12 feet west of the river are expected to develop today and tonight. A Marginal to Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms exists across the area today and tonight. The primary risk from any severe thunderstorms that form will be tornadoes and strong gusty winds. The highest threat of tornadoes will be along and south of the Interstate 10 corridor. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday The Flash Flood watch will remain in effect through Thursday evening as outer rain bands associated with Tropical Storm Harvey continue to bring a threat of heavy rainfall to the area. Additional rainfall of between 4 and 8 inches will be possible from today through Thursday evening. This heavy rainfall could produce street flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas through Thursday evening. A Coastal Flood Advisory will remain in effect through Thursday evening for coastal Louisiana west of the Mississippi River as strong onshore winds of 20 to 30 mph persist. Tide levels 1 to 2 feet above normal could result in minor flooding of low lying roads outside of the levee protected areas. A Small Craft Advisory will remain in effect through Thursday evening as strong southerly winds of 20 to 30 knots and seas of 5 to 8 feet east of the river and 9 to 12 feet west of the river persist. Conditions should gradually improve through the day on Thursday as Tropical Storm Harvey moves inland and weakens. A Marginal Risk of severe thunderstorms is expected both Wednesday and Thursday over much of the forecast area as Tropical Storm Harvey moves onshore and then toward Arkansas and northern Louisiana. A few outer rain bands associated with the system could have isolated severe thunderstorms that produce tornadoes and strong gusty winds. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not anticipated today but may be needed for flood monitoring today through Thursday. 32
