Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New Orleans LA
340 AM CST Sun Nov 25 2018

.SHORT TERM...

A cold front is progressing towards the area and will likely be
splitting the state in half from north to south by this afternoon
and then moving through the metro Baton Rouge area by this
evening. The front should clear the forecast area by late tonight
or very early tomorrow morning.

The main concern today will be any thunderstorms that are able
develop in association with the front. Overall, conditions are not
terribly favorable for any organized severe weather but there is
surely enough in place for a few strong to possibly severe
thunderstorms today. Strong vertical shear is noted in forecast
soundings but the key will be the level of instability attained
ahead of the front. The main threat will be strong, gusty winds
although a brief waterspout or tornado cannot be completely ruled
out.

Once the front passes through, winds will increase as cold air
advection takes over. Temperatures will drop quickly, with almost
all locations dropping into the 40s overnight tomorrow.

.LONG TERM...

The aforementioned front will clear things out and allow for cool
and dry conditions during the early to mid part of the work week.
With the exception of lower Plaquemines, the entire area will see
temperatures dip into the 30s on Tuesday morning...with a few
freezing temperatures possible.

The next system approaches the area by late in the work week,
increasing rain chances slightly on Thursday and a touch more on
Friday. Current trends show a wet weekend on tap next weekend as
we begin December, but there is surely time to watch.

&&

.AVIATION...

Dense fog will continue to produce conditions below the
airport minimums at most terminals through 13-14Z. Even if dense
fog isn't persistent low cigs will still be a major impact.
Conditions will begin to improve after 14Z as winds rise. There
will be a high enough chance of SHRA and some TSRA for mention in
the TAFS in the late morning and afternoon/early evening, and
later TAF issuances may need to possibly include a TEMPO group for
lower conditions in the convection.

&&

.MARINE...

Cold front will move through tonight. Ahead of the front winds
will respond with moderate onshore flow however, will not add SCS
headlines for now as winds will likely be around 15 kts or just
below this afternoon. After the cold front moves through winds
will veer around out of the northwest and increase. Small craft
advisory conditions will develop late this evening and overnight
with winds of 15 to possibly 25 kts at times and numerous higher
gusts. Will issue an SCY for all of the marine zones for 3z
tonight through 18z Monday. Winds and seas will begin to relax
Monday afternoon with much nicer conditions expected Tuesday and
Wednesday.
