Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lake Charles LA
452 AM CDT Wed Sep 1 2021

.DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM [Today through Saturday morning]...
A rather quite weather pattern across the US this am as the
remains of Ida will exit the northeast US coast late today into
tomorrow. Temperatures range from the mid 60s across the northern
plain states down to near 70 northern Louisiana with the lower 80
at our the beaches. Radar was also picking up some small light
showers in the coastal waters. These storms are moving to the
north northeast following the low level wind flow pattern.

Lots of moisture remains in the atmosphere with precip water
around two inches and evening CAPE 3100 j/kg from last night.
Looking at a weak backdoor front dropping down into central
Louisiana by this afternoon before stalling. Moisture pooling
south of the boundary over this region as the ridge aloft over
Texas should be far enough to the west that the remains of the
weakness aloft should be enough to see another day of scattered
showers and thunderstorms. One of the issues for today will be the
temperatures which are expected to top out in the mid 90s with
the heat index above the century mark into the early evening
hours before trailing off a but through midnight. Remember to
remain hydrated while working outside. Thursday will see elevated
chances for showers but this will trail off on Friday and into
the weekend. The 500 mb ridge will build across eastern Texas and
into central Louisiana with rain chances falling slowly back to a
seasonal climo range of 20 to 30 percent for the afternoon hours.

.LONG TERM [Saturday through Wednesday]...

A low level plume of moisture extending from the absorbed remnants
of Ida into the central gulf will lift back across the region
Friday. Despite the increasing moisture, upper level ridging
centered over the arklatex will keep a lid on convection Saturday
which will,in turn yield above normal afternoon highs in the mid to
upper 90s. The forecast highs are on the upper end of most guidance,
but this seems prudent given the convective suppression of the
ridge. Said ridge is progged to retrograde westward by late Sunday
as an upper trof digs south across the eastern half of the U.S.

Both the operational Euro and GFS show a weak frontal boundary
pushing to the coast with ensembles for both also showing the same
general pattern. The boundary will push a plume of deep moisture
into the region, albeit from the north, which will enhance PoPs
through the first half of next week. Putting less faith in the more
progressive Euro which pushes the boundary out into the gulf as it's
an outlier at present and would be bucking climatological norms for
the first week of September.
