931 WWUS44 KLCH 152148 WSWLCH URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 348 PM CST Mon Jan 15 2018 ...Winter weather advisory in effect from late tonight through Tuesday... .An arctic front will move through the area tonight into early Tuesday, ushering a very cold airmass into the region. Precipitation will initially fall as light rain, then transition to a mix of freezing rain, ice pellets and snow early Tuesday morning as temperatures fall. The mix of wintry precipitation will spread south through early afternoon, while areas north of I-10 will see a changeover to mainly snow. Accumulations are not expected to be significant, but snow amounts of one half to one inch will be possible across interior southeast Texas into central Louisiana. Further south, snow amounts are expected to be less than one half inch. Ice accumulation is also expected to be minimal, not exceeding more than a few hundredths of an inch. Primary impacts for ice will be to bridges and elevated roadways. Precipitation will end from north to south Tuesday evening. In addition, strong northerly winds will produce dangerous wind chills. Wind chill values will dip into the teens by late afternoon. As temperatures continue to fall during the evening, wind chills will fall into the single digits across central and western Louisiana, with lower teens elsewhere. These dangerously cold conditions will linger into Wednesday morning.

What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind chill advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Lake Charles, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind chill advisory went out at Jan 15, 11:54 AM CST, 3 hours 54 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 15, 11:54 AM CST, 3 hours 54 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 1154 AM CST Mon Jan 15 2018 .AVIATION... Clr skies thru the afternoon into the evening hours. Clouds spilling in late with rains during the overnight hours. Looking for a strong cold front towards sunrise. Ceilings becmg IFR/LIFR winds strong and Gusty. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1037 AM CST Mon Jan 15 2018/ DISCUSSION... Sfc high pres now situated east of the region while a cold front is located acrs southern OK into W/NW AR. Light easterly winds will become southeasterly through the day and, after a chilly morning, temperatures should warm up nicely through the aftn. Highs around 60 degrees look to be on track, along with a modest increase in dewpoints. Made some minor tweaks to hourly temps and dewpoints to account for ob trends but overall fcst today is in good shape. The main event continues to be the next frigid airmass making its way into the area late tonight/early Tuesday, with the possibility of a mix of wintry precip. At this time, precip is expected to be light with minimal accumulations. However, with the potential for some minor accumulations, especially on elevated sfcs and bridges, will likely issue a Winter Weather Advisory for portions of the area once all 12Z guidance has been considered. 24 PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 535 AM CST Mon Jan 15 2018/ AVIATION... VFR conditions are expected for all terminals through today with clear skies and light SE to S winds of 5-10 knots. Clouds will build into the region after 00Z tonight, initially with high clouds and then with clouds below FL050 after 06Z. MVFR conditions are likely by 12Z Tuesday with the possibility of light winter precipitation of some form at KAEX. 26 PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 426 AM CST Mon Jan 15 2018/ DISCUSSION... Wx map shows lingering cold high pressure ridge across the region. With the calm winds and clear skies, temperatures have dropped a little more than expected this morning, with most locations across C LA in the mid 20s, upper 20s across SC LA, and lowers 30s along and north of I-10 across SW LA/SE TX. Temperatures will quickly warm up after sunrise as southeast winds commence with the high moving further eastward, and high temperatures reach the upper 50s to lower 60s. This will be short lived. The next strong cold front is plunging southward this morning across the Central Plains, with very frigged air accompanying the 1050mb high behind it. The front is expected to move through inland SE TX/C LA by this time Tuesday morning, reaching the coast by daybreak. As the cold air wedges beneath the warmer moist atmosphere, increased moisture pooling and lift will be generated. With temperatures falling into the lower 30s by daybreak and holding near freezing across inland SE TX/C LA, the chance of precipitation will likely be in the form of either sleet or freezing rain. As temperatures fall below freezing by late afternoon and evening for the remainder of the area, the chance of precipitation, either sleet or freezing rain, will shift southward as well across the I-10 corridor of SE TX/S LA. The GFS is slightly faster than the ECMWF with beginning and ending of precipitation, but both and all available guidance showing colder temperatures this cycle, the reason for concern. At this time, only expecting very light accumulations from the chance of freezing rain, which will be of most concern on the area bridges and overpasses for Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night. This is an evolving forecast, with even slight changes in temperature and precipitation amounts making quite a bit of difference in precipitation type and effects. The other more certain aspect of the forecast will be the much colder temperatures and low wind chills that will likely require a wind chill advisory and hard freeze warning for Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. For Wednesday morning, expecting temperatures in the upper teens across inland SE TX/C LA to lower 20s along the I-10 corridor, mid 20s along the coast. With the northerly winds factored in, wind chill temperatures could bottom out in the 8-13 degree range. Another equally cold morning expected Thursday, but with considerably less winds. Warming trend expected by Friday into the weekend. An upper level disturbance moving across northern Mexico and Texas will generate a surface wave off the Texas coast by Friday, with a chance of showers through Saturday. Another cold front will generate moisture and lift for increased chances of showers Sunday. DML MARINE... Winds will gradually shift to a southerly direction today as high pressure moves east of the region. Another strong cold front will move into the northwestern Gulf of Mexico Tuesday, with strong offshore flow by late Tuesday morning through Wednesday night. Expect winds of 25 to 30 knots, with gusts to gale force possible by late Tuesday afternoon and evening. Still too close to call if winds reach gale warning criteria, thus holding off on the gale watch at this time. DML && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
