What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Lake Charles, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Sep 14, 7:17 AM CDT, 1 hour 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 14, 7:17 AM CDT, 1 hour 1 minute before

Area Forecast Discussion...CORRECTED
National Weather Service Lake Charles LA
717 AM CDT Tue Sep 14 2021

.DISCUSSION...
For 12Z TAF issuance.

&&

.AVIATION...
Widespread moderate to heavy rain is currently being experienced
throughout the area along with gusty winds. BPT and LCH in
particular will see stronger winds throughout much of the period.
As Tropical Storm Nicholas continues to progress towards the
northeast, rain and winds will eventually decrease for
southwestern portions of the area. Expect winds to shift at BPT late
in the period from southeasterly to westerly/northwesterly as the
center of circulation passes by. Easterly/southeasterly flow will
persist for the other terminals through to the end of the period.
Low-level clouds will be expected Wednesday morning. IFR/MVFR
conditions will be possible for all terminals throughout the
entire period.

55

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 528 AM CDT Tue Sep 14 2021/

DISCUSSION...

SHORT TERM [Today through 12Z Friday]...

A lack of consensus remains regarding the track for Nicholas. The
period will be dominated by influences from Nicholas as it
continues to progress along the Gulf Coast into more inland areas.
Inflow of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will continue. This
will ensure consistent chances for precipitation through to the
end of the period.

Model ensembles show Nicholas continuing to progress towards the
northeast. However, some models show it moving out of our area
quickly while others keep it in our area into the long term.
Tropical Storm force winds will be expected for portions of
southeastern Texas and extreme southwestern Louisiana. That being
said, there will be a significant flooding threat to our entire
area.

High chances for precipitation will be expected through to the end
of the period, supported by continued onshore flow. The movement of
Nicholas could slow with activity possibly remaining in our area
into the long term. High pressure towards the northeast could act
to slow the progression. WPC has portions of southeastern Texas
and southwestern Louisiana in a High Risk of Excessive Rainfall
with the remaining area in a Moderate Risk. A Flash Flood Watch
remains in effect for our entire area.

55

LONG TERM [Friday through Monday]...

At the start of the long range period, GFS and ECMWF are in
generally good agreement that Nicholas will be a remnant weak SFC
low across northern LA, with a lingering trof axis aloft stretching
NE to SW across the NW Gulf Coast region. At least some relatively
drier air is progged to have intruded in from the west, but the
models diverge a bit on this point in terms of magnitude and
eastward extent. In any event, this does not appear to be sufficient
enough to preclude good rain chances from continuing, especially
over ERN zones. This overall pattern is forecast to change very
little through the weekend, yielding above normal and mainly
diurnally driven rain chances, with temperatures near or below
seasonal normals.

13

MARINE...

Nicholas made landfall along the Texas coast. It is expected to
move towards the northeast and weaken. Tropical Storm conditions
are expected across the coastal waters west of Cameron, including
Sabine Lake. Conditions will begin to improve Wednesday and
Wednesday night as the system continues to weaken while tracking
inland across southwestern Louisiana.
