Area forecast discussion, Mar 20, 7:11 PM CDT, 1 hour 30 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 711 PM CDT Fri Mar 20 2020 .AVIATION...A southward moving ne-sw oriented cold front has advanced across the terminals of LCH and BPT, and is in the process of moving through Acadiana. Scattered showers are aligned along the boundary and have included a TEMPO group for SHRA at both ARA and LFT to start this TAF set through 02z. Carrying a similar TAF scenario for AEX but ongoing precipitation across this area looks more stratiform in nature. Otherwise maintain VCSH at all terminals through tonight and the morning for any lingering post-frontal activity, and PROB30 for SHRA for Saturday afternoon. Looking for northerly winds in the wake of the front, while ceilings should generally be within MVFR early, gradually settling into an extended period of IFR. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 332 PM CDT Fri Mar 20 2020/ DISCUSSION... Temperatures have warmed into the low 80s today ahead of a cold front that has made it's way through southeast Texas and is moving through southwest Louisiana at this time. Temperatures behind the cold front are in the mid to upper 60s and into the lower 40s in the DFW/FTW metro-plex attm. A 1040 sfc high dropping into the upper plains states and will skirt to the east acrs the Great Lakes which will hold the front into the coastal waters on Saturday. For tonight showers are expected to continue as moisture rides up and over the frontal boundary. Lows though will drop into the lower 60s tomorrow morning. Northerly winds on Saturday becoming southerly on Sunday as the front lifts back to the north. Look for showers and isolated thunderstorms over the weekend.
