.UPDATE...
Latest frontal is exiting south-central Louisiana this morning
with rains... showers and Isolated thunderstorms the CWA and
moving through the coastal waters. Will update CWF to remove
wording of dense fog and the shift in winds. Temps range from 39
degrees at AEX to 53 degrees at LCH and 71 at ARA. Over running of
gulf moisture and mid lvl energy will provide support for precip

K. Kuyper

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 543 AM CST Thu Feb 11 2021/

DISCUSSION...
For the 11/12Z TAF Issuance.

AVIATION...
Cold front is moving through the forecast area and has already
moved through KAEX/KBPT/KLCH and will move through KLFT/KARA
before 11/14Z. Winds will become north between 10 to 15 knots
behind the front. However, LIFR to IFR conditions along with
showers and occasional thunderstorms will persist behind the
front. Majority of shower activity will end around 12/00Z, however
low clouds will continue with IFR conditions expected overnight
through the end of the forecast period.

Rua

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 432 AM CST Thu Feb 11 2021/

DISCUSSION...A cold front is slowly pushing south and east across
the area this morning. It is roughly along a Cameron to Jennings
to Simmesport line. Ahead of the front warm and muggy conditions
are present with areas of dense fog, however behind the boundary
temperatures are falling into the 40s and 50s. Scattered showers
and storms are occurring along the front. An Arctic air mass is
spilling to the gulf coast as high pressure builds south through
the plains.

Today the colder air mass will spill in and temperatures will
continue to fall. Overrunning will continue into tonight with
showers and a few storms possible. Temperatures will fall into the
30s and 40s by sunrise. Any issue with freezing rain is expected
to remain north of a Toledo Bend Dam to Alexandria line. Rain
chances are expected to gradually decrease into Saturday as
isentropic lift decreases with the departure of a disturbance
aloft.

Another short wave will approach the region late Sunday with
precip spreading in Sunday night and Monday. A highly uncertain
forecast exists for Monday through Wednesday and guidance spread
continues to be great in regard to temperatures. There is a
chance that most of the region will experience winter weather to
some degree Monday, however in what form or how much is up for
debate. Looking over forecast soundings the dominate type would be
freezing rain Sunday night into Monday afternoon for most
locations as temperatures several thousand feet off the ground
looks to remain well above freezing and surface temps fall to or
below 32 once the precip gets underway. The mid lvls are expected
to gradually cool and a change over to snow may occur for a brief
period later Monday. This has a higher chance to occur in
interior SE TX. Precip will decrease through Monday evening as
drier air moves in.

The temperature forecast for Tuesday morning isn't any easier with
a large spread in the guidance ranging from single digits to
around 30 over much of the area. Kept in line with a blend. The
last few times the I-10 corridor fell into the upper teens was
Jan 2018, Jan 2014, and Jan 2010.

A gradual warm up will occur after Tuesday, however another round
of precip may work into the area early Wednesday with a chance of
ZR or IP possible into the SE TX lakes and Cen LA before temps
warm through the morning.

MARINE...A cold front will push through the coastal waters this
morning. This will mix out the marine fog, however strong north
winds will build in. Water levels in the coastal lakes and bay may
also approach -1 MLLW Friday morning. A moderate to strong
offshore flow will remain in place into the middle of the coming
week.
