Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lake Charles LA
1131 PM CDT Tue Mar 23 2021

.DISCUSSION...
For the 24/06Z TAF Issuance.

&&

.AVIATION...
Surface boundary/dry line feature is moving back to the northwest
this evening and all terminals are back in a east to southeast
flow and moist low levels. A low stratus deck has moved in as a
result with ceilings at MVFR into IFR levels. Meanwhile, showers
and storms have moved to the east of the terminals with best
convergence zone and upper level jet dynamics progged to stay off
to the east.

Main concern tonight will be the continue build down of the
stratus with the potential for visibility restrictions from fog.
All terminals will be at IFR levels during the overnight into
early Wednesday with the potential for LIFR conditions.

Conditions will only gradually improve on Wednesday morning, with
MVFR ceilings not really expected until around 24/18Z.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 956 PM CDT Tue Mar 23 2021/

UPDATE...
Radar this evening showing persistent band of rain and embedded
thunderstorms stretching from the northern Gulf waters onshore
into the Lower Atchafalaya Basin and SE LA. Localized rainfall
maximums a bit in excess of 6" were noted near Cypremort Point,
with amounts tapering off somewhat moving into interior St. Mary,
Iberia, and Lower St. Martin Parishes. The heaviest of this band
has flexed east so far this evening, but guidance suggests some
light to moderate rain will remain a possibility for the next
several hours before diminishing more significantly and/or moving
northward on Wednesday.

Otherwise, stalled cold frontal boundary draped from SE TX into
Central LA is beginning to retreat back to the west this evening.
In turn, the brief shot of dry air some locations experienced
behind this front will be short lived, as moisture will push back
in readily as the front slides away. Combined with light winds and
saturated soil, fog is expected to set in tonight... Not enough
confidence at this time to issue any advisories, though there will
be the potential for some areas of dense fog, and will be
something to monitor going forward.

In regards to the grids, only made minimal changes to the
inherited forecast based on short term trends and guidance.

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 404 PM CDT Tue Mar 23 2021/

DISCUSSION...
The line of convection that dumped 5 to 7 inches of rain across
parts of southwest Louisiana this morning has been steadily
dropping moderate to heavy rainfall across the atchafalaya basin
and surrounding parishes this afternoon. HRRR and other short
range guidance indicate that this convection will very slowly
continue to drift east into southeast Louisiana by late this
evening. Until then, nuisance flooding will be a possibility
across this region and flash flood warnings may be needed shortly.

The sharp clearing line immediately behind the line of storms has
allowed southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana to spend much of
the day in unanticipated sunshine...A welcome relief after this
morning's deluge. Short range guidance is pinging on fog
development overnight and although clouds will fill in overnight,
the saturated soils and light winds expected certainly point in
that direction so added patchy fog wording from 06Z through 14Z.

The stalled frontal boundary will lift back across the region
Wednesday spawning another round of scattered to widespread
showers and thunderstorms. Gave some thought to issuing a flash
flood watch across the areas that saw high rainfall totals today,
but don't think precip tomorrow will be nearly as heavy as what
was seen today so opted to hold off. The convection will begin
near the coast before working inland along with the warm front
through the afternoon.

There will likely be a bit of a lull in precipitation late
Wednesday night between the warm front lifting to the north and a
stronger cold front that will approach and push quickly through
the region Thursday morning. SPC has hatched the area in a slight
risk for severe weather with the passage of this front which will
likely take the shape of a broken squall line.

Some moderate CAA will develop in the wake of the front Thursday
night into Friday allowing overnight lows Friday morning to drop
into the mid 50s. High pressure quickly traverses the region
through the day Friday with return flow quickly developing
Saturday ahead of another frontal boundary expected early next
week. However, there are significant differences in model
solutions with regards to the orientation, intensity and timing of
this boundary. Thus, the official forecast hedges with low end
PoPs on days six and seven.

Jones

MARINE...
Scattered to widespread showers and thunderstorms will continue
across the coastal waters of southwest and south central Louisiana
this afternoon and early evening before shifting east by late
evening. Moderate onshore flow will continue through the night
with stronger winds and higher seas beyond 20 NM. Isolated showers
and thunderstorms will redevelop Wednesday morning before lifting
inland through the day.

A cold front will push through the area Thursday morning
accompanied by a line of showers and thunderstorms. Winds behind
the front will turn offshore late Thursday and Friday before
turning back onshore this weekend.
