Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lake Charles LA
1246 PM CDT Wed Mar 17 2021

.DISCUSSION...
For the 03/17/21 1800 UTC TAF package.

&&

.AVIATION...
Main concern is convection spreading into the area from the west.
Used a blend of radar and latest HRRR to time most likely window
at each site, with generally VFR to MVFR conditions prevailing
away from the convection. VFR will prevail once the cold front and
associated convection push through this afternoon into early
evening.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1201 PM CDT Wed Mar 17 2021/

UPDATE...
Tor watch issued for our area in effect until 6pm. The watch
covers the entire area with exception to the following LA
Parishes: Iberia, Upper/Lower St. Martin, and St. Mary.
Stigger/87

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 946 AM CDT Wed Mar 17 2021/

UPDATE...
Updated the grids to reflect temps. As of 1445Z, no tor watches
for our area, however this is expected to change as the afternoon
period nears. The line of tstorms is currently moving across NLA
and SETX and is expected to reach our furthest northern county
shortly.
Stigger/87

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 700 AM CDT Wed Mar 17 2021/

DISCUSSION...
For 12z TAF issuance.

AVIATION...
No significant changes to TAF thinking with this package. IFR/MVFR
ceilings will continue this morning with just a slow rise in
heights with daytime heating. Srly winds will get really cranked
up after sunrise with an increasing low-level jet moving over the
area. Regional 88Ds show our expected squall line getting fired
up over nern/cntl TX at this time - timed the line into KBPT by
late morning, then ewd through the remaining terminals through the
afternoon hours. Winds shift wrly behind the line along with
rising/diminishing ceilings.

25

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 316 AM CDT Wed Mar 17 2021/

DISCUSSION...
Active weather day expected across the area with approaching
strong dynamic system moving across the region today. First of all
did go ahead and issue a wind advisory across South Central
Louisiana into portions of Central Louisiana where the low level
jet will be most pronounced with good mixing. It will be quite
breezy elsewhere ahead of the frontal system, but at present winds
not forecast to be as strong as in the advisory area.

As the lift begins to increase late this morning into the
afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms will become more likely
through the day and culminate into a squall line along the
dryline/frontal boundary. Conditions do appear more favorable for
severe thunderstorms today than this time yesterday and SPC
expanded the risk areas across all of the forecast area with
moderate risk now for Central Louisiana. See SWODY1 from SPC for
more specific information.

Once the front passes, showers and thunderstorms will quickly come
to an end this afternoon and evening. In the wake of the front
cooler temperatures and dry weather will prevail until early next
week when moisture begins to increase ahead of the next frontal
system that is expected to approach the area around the Tuesday
time frame. Guidance is still all over the place on this will play
out but chance of showers will continue through the remainder of
the forecast period.

MARINE...
A plume of moisture moving over the coastal waters this morning
looks to initiate another round of dense fog where the coolest
water temperature remain. In addition winds will increase late
morning especially in the offshore waters and across the eastern
zones. Showers and thunderstorms will also be possible from late
morning into the afternoon and evening. Winds will switch to
offshore and will remain strong enough for Small Craft Advisory to
continue.
