Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lake Charles LA
1211 AM CDT Mon Jul 15 2019
.AVIATION...
MVFR/VFR conditions will prevail at area TAF sites through the
overnight hours. VCTS are developing across SW LA and SE TX and
could result in additional restrictions at KBPT/KLCH through
morning, but these restrictions were not included in the TAFs at
this time due to uncertainty with how far south the thunderstorms
will progress. SHRA are expected to continue through the day
tomorrow with MVFR/VFR ceilings. Wins are generally going to be
from the S/SW at around 10 knots with occasional gusts to 20
knots.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1046 PM CDT Sun Jul 14 2019/
DISCUSSION...
Sfc obs/88D imagery show the center of Barry now located over the
Arklatex with rainbands trailing back swd across the forecast
area...with two primary bands impacting sern 1/2 of the area.
Updated POP grids for the remainder of the night using a blend of
various high res guidance...basically best rain chances for the
night remain in a general ne-sw swath not too far from where
convection is currently ongoing. Reports of mainly minor flooding
have been received in association with this slow-moving activity
and suspect we'll see more of this over the next 8-12 hours as
activity wanes and flares through the night. Obviously given the
amount of moderate/heavy rain occurring over quickly saturated
grounds, no changes to the inherited Flash Flood Watch are in the
works this evening.
Still looking over data in terms of the inherited Coastal Flood
Advisory, but given that multiple data points are still running
above projected values and we are headed back into another high
tide cycle, suspect this advisory will be extended in the next
hour.
25
PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 633 PM CDT Sun Jul 14 2019/
AVIATION...
Mainly MVFR conditions will prevail across the region through this
evening and overnight as rain bands associated with Barry continue
to rotate through the region. KARA/KLCH/KLFT will have the
greatest potential for heavier rain and TEMPO IFR/LIFR conditions
mainly through 04Z. Conditions are expected to gradually improve
through the day tomorrow as Barry continues to lift away from the
region. However, chances for showers will continue through the
day.
PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 434 PM CDT Sun Jul 14 2019/
DISCUSSION...
Center of Tropical Depression Barry near Shreveport this
afternoon, and expected to continue northward this evening.
Despite this, most of the coastal waters and some inland areas
have experience tropical storm force gusts within the rainbands of
this system. This is partially due to the increased pressure
gradient with the exiting Barry and building high pressure ridging
westward over the Gulf. Until then, will continue the Small Craft
Advisory over the coastal waters through 1 AM, with the outer
waters through 7 am mainly due to residual high seas.
Rainbands spiraling off the Gulf into Barry will continue the
flash flood threat through Monday afternoon. General consensus
shows continued training over SC LA this evening, with additional
bands/convergent zones setting up overnight along and south of
the I-10 corridor to the coast. Flash flood watch continues, and
extended through 4 PM Monday for all LA parishes, and Jefferson/Orange
in SE TX. For the I-10 corridor to the coast, 1 to 3 inches in a
short time period. Additional rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches
with isolated storm totals of 10-15 inches. For SE TX/C LA, expect
locally heavy rains of 1 to 2 inches in a short time period.
Additional rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches with isolated storm
totals of 5 to 10 inches.
Coastal flood warning continues for Vermilion, Iberia, St. Mary
parishes. Expect 2 to 4 feet above ground level this afternoon
will continue to gradually subside through the as winds relax.
However residual flooding will remain through much of the evening.
Coastal flood advisory continues for Cameron and Calcasieu parishes.
Expect 1 to 3 feet above ground level will continue to develop as
water moves up the ship channel and Calcasieu Lake in Cameron and
Calcasieu Parishes. In addition water levels in eastern Cameron
Parish will continue to rise as water moves through the lower
Mermentau Basin from Vermilion Parish.
For the rest of the forecast, lowering chances of precipitation
will be mainly confined to the usual afternoon showers and
thunderstorms for Tuesday through Friday afternoon, with warming
temperatures and heat index values.
DML
MARINE...
Barry weakens to a tropical depression near Shreveport Louisiana
and will continue to weaken further this evening and overnight.
Despite being well inland, strong and gusty winds persist over
the coastal waters within the shower and thunderstorms. Small
Craft Advisory continues for all of the coastal waters this
evening, and the 20 to 60 nautical mile zones through daybreak
Monday. Winds and seas will continue to subside as surface high
pressure ridge resumes its grip over the region.
