What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at Jan 9, 11:20 AM CST, 4 hours 13 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 9, 11:20 AM CST, 4 hours 13 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 1120 AM CST Sat Jan 9 2021 .DISCUSSION... Current forecast is on track with hourly grids generally keeping pace with observations, though dewpoints have fallen off a few degrees more than expected across the eastern half or so of the area. Nudged these grids and the derivative RH grids toward Ob trends/latest short range guidance. Updated PFM to follow. No need for an updated ZFP. 13 && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1108 AM CST Sat Jan 9 2021/ AVIATION...VFR conditions are expected through the period. Winds will become more northeast through time and remain generally around 10kts or less. PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 615 AM CST Sat Jan 9 2021/ AVIATION... Currently skies are clear with cold air SC over the coastal waters noted on stlt images. These conditions should hold through the day although scattered deck will develop during the late mrng hours. PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 415 AM CST Sat Jan 9 2021/ DISCUSSION... GOES-16 Nighttime Microphysics RGB showing much less cloud coverage tonight, which when combined with light northerly winds has resulted in cooler temperatures as well. Currently observing sites around the region showing temperatures ranging the span of the 30s, and we could still see a couple more degrees shaved off of that prior to daybreak. For the day Saturday, nearby high pressure yields light winds out of the north-northeast with mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies and afternoon highs once again around 10 degrees below seasonal normal. Attention then quickly shifts to a shortwave trough currently seen on WV imagery beginning its dive into the Desert Southwest and eventually towards the Southern Plains. As this feature slides east on Sunday, surface low pressure is induced along the NW Gulf coast. Energy/lift associated with these features spills over the region, with precipitation overspreading the region from west to east through the afternoon/evening in the form of a cold rain. Biggest questions still lie in the overnight period in regards to what, if any, wintry precipitation may be encountered, and if it has the potential to accumulate. Unfortunately, the answer to that question is still pretty muddy at this time. At the very least, guidance continues to suggest thermodynamic profiles will at least be somewhat supportive for a period of wintry precipitation after midnight, with the better chances still north of roughly the HWY-190 line. The type of wintry precipitation is also still a bit of a question. DGZ will be somewhat saturated for a time, but warm nose with surface temps also above freezing will severely limit what snow is capable of reaching the ground. Some guidance also suggesting a combination of WAA around 850mb with enough CAA below that for another freezing layer, which would more than likely result in some sleet/IP mixing in. At the moment, surface temps continue to appear to remain just above freezing, which would help reduce the freezing rain threat, though bridges/elevated surfaces could still be at risk, especially if temps dip a bit below the current forecast. Any accumulations are also going to naturally depend on the p-type question, and as such may result in a pretty sharp gradient between "some" and "none" which is reflected by the deterministic solutions of ensemble members and operational guidance. At this time, thinking the better shot at accumulations will remain north of our CWA, but did leave between around a trace to a half inch of snow accumulation in the northern half of our northern tier of counties/parishes. This falls below Winter Storm Watch criteria for the region, but if current forecast trends hold, an advisory may be necessitated in upcoming forecasts. Ultimately the exact strength, placement, and movement of the trough/low will yield the answer, but subtle differences can lead to big differences in the outcome, and thus this forecast still has a pretty significant degree of uncertainty. Precipitation tapers off by early Monday as the low and shortwave slide east, with fairly benign conditions thereafter. Flow aloft becomes fairly zonal, and high pressure remains in close enough proximity at the surface to keep conditions dry. Temperatures start off quite cool for the start of the week, with a moderating trend leading to temperatures near seasonal normals by the end of the work week. 50 MARINE... Light N to NE winds Saturday pick up somewhat and become ENE overnight. Winds shift back to NE for Sunday and become quite moderate, ultimately shifting around an area of surface low pressure set to slide eastward in the northern Gulf late Sunday into early Monday. Rain is also expected late Sunday into early Monday as this low passes. Small craft advisories are likely to be needed, and Gale warnings are possible. Surface high pressure dominates the weather for the remainder of the week with dry conditions and offshore flow becoming lighter by tuesday. 50 && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
