Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lake Charles LA
116 PM CDT Sat Aug 28 2021
.DISCUSSION...
For the 08/28/21 1800 UTC TAF package.
&&
.AVIATION...
VFR will generally prevail across the area today amid scattered cu
and more widespread mid/upper level cloud cover. Convection this
afternoon will be most persistent near KBPT, where a TEMPO group
for TSTMS was inserted. VCTS was carried at the remaining coastal
terminals. Additional showers and thunderstorms are expected to
spread into Central LA this evening into tonight, so VCTS was
inserted at KAEX. Otherwise, VFR is forecast to prevail across
the rest of the area tonight as well. Heading into tomorrow, the
effects of Hurricane Ida will begin to spread into the Acadiana
terminals, though the worst impacts will be felt beyond this
current forecast period.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1103 AM CDT Sat Aug 28 2021/
DISCUSSION...
Short term forecast is on track with scattered showers and
thunderstorms expected today as a weak inverted trof traverses SE
TX/SW LA. Another weak upstream feature is progged to push across
Central LA later this afternoon into this evening.
With confidence in the forecast track of Ida continuing to
increase, the hurricane watch west of Intracoastal City has been
cancelled, as has the storm surge watch west of Pecan Island. All
other hazards remain as is. The latest NHC forecast track and
intensity have changed little, and Ida is forecast to make
landfall along coastal Terrebonne Parish as a potentially
catastrophic Category 4 hurricane late tomorrow afternoon or early
evening. Please heed the instructions of your local officials.

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 607 AM CDT Sat Aug 28 2021/
AVIATION...Areas of MVFR ceilings will continue through late
morning, but skies are expected to become VFR. Ceilings will again
lower late tonight into early Sunday. Rain with a few storms will
remain over the region through the day occasionally lowering vis.
Winds will be generally east today and become more northeast at
the end of the period as Ida approaches the region.
PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 515 AM CDT Sat Aug 28 2021/
SHORT TERM (Today through Monday night)...
Local 88Ds/water vapor imagery/sfc analysis all indicate the
presence of an erly wave crossing the nrn Gulf at this time. Local
radars all show plenty of convection in association with this
feature currently covering the coastal waters primarily east of
Cameron with some activity spreading ashore up to the I-10
corridor. This activity is progged by recent CAM guidance to
continue expanding inland over the course of the day as the wave
pushes wwd. Some of the model guidance indicates another weak
disturbance moving in from the east later this afternoon, leading
to potentially another round of convection prior to sunset when
convective coverage will diminish with loss of heating.
Of course the main concern during the short term remains Hurricane
Ida, currently pushing nwwd over the sern Gulf of Mexico.
Satellite imagery shows the system getting more better organized
at the moment after departing the Cuban coast a bit ragged
looking. Guidance remains very well clustered with her nwwd
motion continuing through Sunday, with a landfall somewhere in
vicinity of the lower Atchafalaya Delta. There is some good news
this morning in that intensity guidance has come down a little
from previous forecast runs...however good intensification is
still expected and we are still looking at the likelihood of a
very powerful storm (currently forecasted as a solid category 4)
striking our sern zones later tomorrow.
Expected QPF values for Ida have increased to 6-12 inches with
isolated higher amounts, especially across lower Acadiana. With
the initial associated rain bands looking to arrive to the s-cntl
LA coast around daybreak tomorrow, have issued a Flash Flood Watch
effective 12z Sunday. The watch covers the area from Vermilion
Parish nwd to Rapides Parish and points ewd...obviously, the onset
of heavier rains will arrive later as you move inland, but for
simplicity, the watch was issued with the same starting time for
the entire watch area.
The forecast track continues to show the system slowing and making
a more nwd turn shortly after landfall, which will spread
destructive winds and heavy rains farther inland Sunday night and
Monday. No changes to inherited warnings/watches for inland areas
were made with this morning's forecast package.
Everyone across the area should continue to monitor the latest
forecasts and statements on Hurricane Ida.
Thanks to neighboring offices and NHC/WPC for coordination this
morning.
25
LONG TERM [Tuesday through Saturday]...
By Wednesday Ida will be moving through the Appalachians with a
weak trough extending back into the local region. Afternoon
heating while this weakness is draped across the area will allow
for scattered to numerous showers and storms. Nocturnal storms
will occur along the coast.
Rain chances will gradually decrease Friday into the weekend has
high pressure develops aloft.

MARINE...
All marine interests should continue to monitor the progress of
and forecasts for Hurricane Ida.
