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 Oct 26, 11:14 AM CDT, 4 hours 42 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 26, 11:14 AM CDT, 4 hours 42 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 1114 AM CDT Tue Oct 26 2021 .UPDATE... The fog has burned off this morning with skies expected to remain partly to mostly cloudy today. Temperatures expected in the low to mid 80s with southeast winds. Tonight will see a few showers during the evening hours in se Tx and sw La. Activity will slowly increase drg the overnight hours. A squall line will move into southeast Texas tmrw morning with showers and thunderstorms running out ahead of the squall line. A few of the storms have the potential to become severe with the main threat from straight line winds although there is the potential that an isolated tornado could develop. Rainfall totals will average about one to two inches and a bit higher were stronger cells develop. This activity will end behind the wind shift. The time line for the squall line... along the Louisiana/Texas border around the noon hour and is expected to exit south central Louisiana during the early evening hours. Showers to linger into the late evening hours in south-central Louisiana before ending around midnight. By Thursday morning much more drier and temperate temperatures will be in store "mid to upper 50s" with brisk northwest winds through the day. In the coastal waters... Winds are expected to start increasing late tonight and thru the frontal passage. A Small Craft Advisory maybe needed during this time. Behind the frontal passage the winds will shift around to the northwest and increase in strength. Seas will start out Wednesday morning early around three to five feet offshore and two to four feet nearshore. By late tmrw afternoon seas will range from six to eight feet offshore and three to five feet nearshore with rough conditions on the area lakes and bays. By Thursday sunrise... bays and inland waters will be very rough with the seas state from six to eleven feet offshore. Nearshore waters will range from two to six feet. A Gale Watch/Warning maybe required. Current zones are fine no updates are planned at this time. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 642 AM CDT Tue Oct 26 2021/ DISCUSSION... For the 26/12z TAF package. AVIATION... The main talking point is the area of dense fog spread over southeast TX and southwest LA. BPT and LCH are experiencing LIFR visibilities with obs reporting 1/4 mile throughout this area. Elsewhere at AEX, LFT and ARA, visibilities are far improved due to a dry air mass that kept fog from developing/becoming widespread. Visibilities at LCH and BPT are fcst to improve to MVFR by 15z with the increase in wind speeds, although ceilings will be slow to lift. By the afternoon, a gradient southeast wind will set up with the cold front developing to the west. Terminals closer to the front (BPT and LCH) will see slightly higher winds throughout the afternoon, though all terminals will see elevated winds this afternoon and overnight. Fog is very unlikely to form with the higher overnight winds, but guidance is determined for BPT and LCH to drop into LIFR visibilities again before sunrise. Rather, these locations will likely see early morning showers associated with a warm front lifting through the region, and so ceilings were brought to 5000 ft and mentioned VCSH at BPT and LCH. 11 PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 440 AM CDT Tue Oct 26 2021/ DISCUSSION... SHORT TERM [Today through Thursday 12z]... A ragged boundary of slightly drier air is situated over the area and can be seen by observations reporting lower dewpoints: 57 in Alexandria, 60 at Fort Polk, and 61 at Oakdale. These dewpoints are in small contrast to those found further to the south and east (67 at Opelousas to 72 at Beaumont) but the airmass is dry enough to keep fog from forming in the northeastern section of the area. Elsewhere, dense fog has formed in sern TX counties and srn LA parishes, with patches of fog found in southeastern parishes. These conditions prompted a Dense Fog Advisory over south and southwestern areas, set to expire by 10 AM once winds increase with the morning sunrise. A low pressure center has already begun taking shape in eastern Colorado, with a warm front that extends down through eastern TX where it connects to the boundary situated over the fcst area. As the sfc low slides east from the Rockies, it will dive southeast, and the associated warm front over the area will slowly advance northward this afternoon with increasing southeast winds. Dewpoints across the area will rise back into the low 70s to upper 60s as low-level gulf moisture returns with the warm front. A few weak showers could pop up this afternoon and evening with the warm front, but these should be widely scattered at best. By Wednesday morning a strong cold front will be arriving from the west, driving up rain chances as pre-frontal rainshowers and thunderstorms spread over the area. The main band of storms will likely take on a ragged line of storms oriented from north to south as it swings through Wednesday afternoon, and exiting to the east by evening. With plenty of frontal forcing and fcst PWAT values >2.00 inches, rainfall rates can be high in the storms as they pass over, though with the dry state of the ground and the quick forward progression of the line, flash flooding is not wholly expected, but can be possible in areas that flood easily with heavy rains in a short period. Along with heavy rains, strong gusting winds will be possible with strong storms, as environmental winds could be mixed down to the surface. All in all, as this front takes shape and begins to approach, all parties should monitor weather trends and be sure to have access to weather alerts if they are necessary. The line will clear out by Thursday morning and a rush of cold air will arrive behind the front. Eastern areas may experience some lingering showers by sunrise, but these should swiftly come to a close as the cold air drives them out. 11 LONG TERM [Thursday through next Tuesday]... To start off the period a rather intense upper level and surface low will be located over the Mid-Mississippi Valley with an upper level trough and surface cold front east of the forecast area. The result will be a deep northwest flow over the region that will bring down a dry continental air mass with cooler temperatures closer to seasonal fall readings. High pressure building in behind the cold front will linger across the forecast area through the weekend, allowing the cooler weather to persist. A moderation in temperatures will begin on Monday as the high moves off to the east. For the temperature forecast for the end of the week into the weekend, will stay close to the National Blend of Models (NBM) as these values look reasonable as the spread among members is rather close, with max temps in the low 70s and min temps in the upper 40s to low 50s. The NBM values are also close to the operational and ensemble mean of the GFS and slightly above the operational and ensemble mean of the ECMWF. These forecast temperature values are slightly below climo temperatures for the end of the October. Still looks like a decent pressure gradient between the surface low and high building in from the Rockies will develop on Thursday and continue into Friday. Therefore, it will likely be quite breezy over land areas during the daytime hours when mixing is maximized. There is the potential for northwest wind speeds between 20 to 25 mph with gusts over 30 mph Thursday and Friday. If this verifies, then a Wind Advisory will need to be issued. Also, with the strong offshore flow, water will likely be pushes away from the coast and out of the lakes and bays, so there is also the potential for a Low Water Advisory. Rua MARINE... Good cold air advection behind the cold front over warmer Gulf waters, along with a decent pressure gradient as high pressure builds in, will likely mean quite breezy conditions with strong offshore flow and building seas on Thursday that will linger into early Saturday. Small Craft Advisories are a good bet during that time frame with the possibility for gusts over Gale Force. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
