What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS New Orleans, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Dec 27, 8:16 AM CST, 2 hours 34 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 27, 8:16 AM CST, 2 hours 34 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New Orleans LA
816 AM CST Thu Dec 27 2018
.SOUNDING DISCUSSION...
This morning's balloon launch was successful, and there were no
issues. Looking at the sounding, the overall atmospheric profile
is moist. There is a temperature inversion at the lower levels of
the atmosphere. The CAPE in the mixed layer is lower than average
for this time of year (67 J/kg), and the CIN is higher than
average for this time of year (-293 J/kg). This combination
indicates a lack of instability in the atmosphere this morning.
The vertical wind profile is varied with height. At the surface
and low levels, the wind is southerly. At the middle and upper
levels of the atmosphere, the winds are strong (90 knots) and
westerly. This turning of the winds with height indicates the
presence of shear in the atmosphere this morning. MSW
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 355 AM CST Thu Dec 27 2018/
SHORT TERM...
First batch of rain is mostly through the CWA with just some
lingering showers over the coastal Mississippi counties. Winds are
fairly brisk and gusty as some gusts above 40 mph were measured,
leading to a few power outages. With sustained winds nearing 30 mph
in a few areas, a wind advisory will be issued for a few hours this
morning. In addition, lowering pressures and higher winds will cause
some coastal flood issues along the Mississippi Gulf Coast this
morning.
A break in the action is expected for the next few hours before rain
begins to develop again by late morning, ahead of the line moving in
from the west. With plenty of moisture in place, heavy rainfall
remains a concern today. The northern part of the CWA is now in a
moderate risk of excessive rainfall with the rest of the area
remaining in a slight risk. A flash flood watch remains in effect
for the entire forecast area through early Friday morning. Rainfall
amounts of 2-4 inches are now expected area wide with isolated
higher amounts possible. A few areas of 5 inch plus rainfall cannot
be ruled out at this time.
In addition to the heavy rainfall threat, some of the storms could
become severe with the main threat being strong winds and an
isolated tornado.
Rain chances remain high early Friday before tapering off some on
Friday evening and into Friday night.
LONG TERM...
The big concern continues to be the larger scale pattern through the
weekend as the frontal boundary will likely remain stalled out near
the central Gulf coast. Convective bursts of showers and at times
bands of thunderstorms with downpours are likely to occur over the
weekend and possibly exasperate any flooding and hydrological
issues. The flash flood watch may need to be extended into the
weekend depending on the amount of rain the area gets out of this
first system and the progression of front. Temperatures will
remain above normal to the southeast of the meandering frontal
boundary, but turning cooler behind the front by early next week.
AVIATION...
Most locations will remain generally MVFR today with some lowering
of cloud bases into IFR levels at times during heavy rainfall.
Thunderstorms expected to increase in coverage as frontal boundary
moves into area around 18Z in the western terminals, through
about 28/06Z in the eastern terminals. LLWS at this time should
abate around 11-12Z from west to east as wake low feature departs
the region.
24/RR
MARINE...
Rather strong winds being enhanced by wake depression low pressure
divot moving eastward through the metro New Orleans area this
morning. This feature will be along the MS coast by daybreak with
tides responding both pressure differential and onshore wind.
Synoptic scale pressure gradient to maintain strong onshore winds
this morning before relaxing a bit this afternoon as upper low
begins to lift into the Upper Mississippi Valley. This will cause
to frontal zone to elongate and become stationary along the coast
for lax winds Friday into Saturday. This may result in some sea
fog formation at times though ongoing intermittent rain may
disrupt fog developments. Onshore flow regime to linger through
Monday before a better surge advances into the gulf Monday night.
Small Craft Advisory conditions likely to return for much of
Tuesday.
