Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New Orleans LA
400 PM CDT Thu Oct 8 2020
.Discussion...
The main concern in this forecast package remains as the impacts to
our CWA from Hurricane Delta.

Portions of our area are already starting to see some light showers
that have been very brief. Radar will continue picking up this
afternoon into the evening with heavier showers and some possible
thunderstorms. We will see conditions worsen overnight as Hurricane
Delta pushes northward into the gulf. Temperatures should top out
around... today and overnight lows aren't cooling down as much as it
has been in the previous days. We are definitely already feeling the
tropical moisture in the air.

 Hurricane Delta continues its northward track across western
portion of the Gulf of Mexico and is currently maintaining Category
2 strength winds. It is possible Delta could briefly increase to
Category 3 strength and then back to Cat 2 strength as it tracks
inland. Delta, with the latest advisory from NHC, is expected to
begin moving inland as early as Friday afternoon. It is then
forecast to bring potentially significant impacts to our area
starting as soon as tomorrow night.

Some areas along the coast may start experiencing sustained tropical
storm forced winds and storm surge inundation as early as tonight
and begin improving by Saturday. There is very high confidence that
with the current track, impact expectations could include:
potentially life-threatening storm surge, widespread damaging winds,
and heavy rainfall with potential for some flash flooding and river
flooding. Hurricane watches are still in effect as well Tropical
Storm warnings for much of the area from Atchafalaya River to the
Pearl River in SE LA and areas west of I-55 in SW MS. Storm Surge
values were decreased due to greater confidence in Delta tracking
further west of SW LA, however the storm surge watches and warnings
are still fairly the same. As for rainfall, 4-6" of rain is forecast
for areas west of I-55 and north of I-10 in SE LA and southern
Mississippi. The highest risk of rainfall that could produce flash
flooding will be west of the I-55 corridor Friday through Friday
night. Confidence is much higher now with the current track that
Delta will in fact bring significant impacts to SE LA and southern
Mississippi so make sure you wrap up hurricane preparations tonight.

Beyond this system, extended forecast shows that we will dry out
through at least mid-week next week along with a cold front expected
on Tuesday. As of now, there are no indications of additional
tropical activity that should affect our area. Fingers crossed that
Delta will be the final storm of our hurricane season. /TDB/

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR ceilings trending towards some MVFR ceilings through the day
continue along with some light showers entering the area now at most
TAF sites. Showers may increase later causing some visibility
restrictions.Lower ceilings are possible with Delta causing moisture
to increase steadily as it continues to approach the northern
portions of the gulf. /TDB/

&&

.MARINE...
Winds will gradually ramp up to 20 to 25 knots in
southern/offshore waters through this evening as the pressure
gradient tightens on north periphery of Hurricane Delta.
Conditions are then expected to deteriorate rapidly overnight
tonight into Friday with tropical storm force winds possible or
expected over western waters, and lower end tropical storm
conditions mainly in gusts across eastern coastal waters. Seas are
expected to gradually rise to 6 to 10 feet offshore late tonight,
7 to 12 feet on Thursday and then 15 to 20 feet over western
coastal waters and 10 to 13 feet over eastern waters late Thursday
night into Friday. Much improved conditions with lower winds and
subsiding seas are expected over the weekend. 22/TD
