Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New Orleans LA
422 AM CDT Thu Apr 25 2019

.SHORT TERM...
A cold front will move into the area today bringing a line of
strong thundestorms with it. A few cells ahead of the line will be
possible as well. The main issues with any severity will be
damaging winds and tornadic activity. The line will slow as it
reaches the area which sets up a prolonged period of heavy
rainfall mainly over the northern half of the area. Total rainfall
amounts should be in the 1 to 3 inch range with isolated higher
amounts. There is the potential for these amounts to fall within a
short time frame. If this occurs, then flooding of low lying and
poor drainage areas could occur.

Once the front moves through, which should be by early evening,
clouds and some light rain areas will remain but conditions will
gradually improve through tonight. Models are keeping all
mention of clouds and light rain to the east associated with an
850mb thermal trough for Friday morning. This may be the case, but
it will be just off to the east and still may affect a few of the
Miss coastal counties. Regardless, all the area will begin to dry
out Friday through the extended portion of this fcast.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR conditions prevail at most terminals with only KMCB
and KASD being IFR conditions due to low ceilings.  Current
convection going on in north and western LA will move eastward. MVFR
to IFR conditions will be possible at all terminals starting from
west to east this morning into this afternoon. Thunderstorms have
the possibility of producing stronger gusts.  Conditions will return
to prevailing VFR tonight as the convection exits eastward. -BL

&&

.MARINE...
Currently in a transition period between high pressure sliding
eastward and low pressure currently near the ArkLaTex moving
northeast.  Increased pressure gradient between these two features
will cause winds to be high end Small Craft Exercise Caution
starting late morning into overnight tomorrow. Additionally, a cold
front associated with the low will bring showers and thunderstorms
this morning into this evening, with the potential of strong to
severe thunderstorms. These storms could produce strong/gale winds
and possibly a waterspout.  As the cold front passes the area, winds
will shift from onshore flow to offshore flow and winds will slowly
taper off.  High pressure will then build and bring calmer and
quieter weather through the weekend. - BL
