What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS New Orleans, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at May 18, 3:57 AM CDT, 6 hours 54 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 18, 3:57 AM CDT, 6 hours 54 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New Orleans LA
357 AM CDT Tue May 18 2021
.SHORT TERM (Today through Thursday Night) Not a lot of difference
in thought from earlier fcast. A broad wake low behind the
heaviest band of sh/ts will remain through 7am today with winds of
30-40mph and a few gusts up to 50mph possible. These winds can
easily bring trees and powerlines down with already saturated
soils. A broad region of difluence and increased upper level
forcing will remain over portions of the forecast area through
Wednesday night. This region of enhanced lift will interact with a
plume of deep tropical moisture and moderate instability feeding
into the area to produce periods of shower and thunderstorm
activity. Precipitable water values will remain high in excess of
1.75 inches across the western half of the CWA, and light winds
aloft will allow for slow storm motion through Wed. Conditions
will turn more favorable by daylight today for convective
development through the afternoon hours as temperatures warm back
into the upper 70s and lower 80s. Given the slow storm motions
anticipated and moist adiabatic lapse rates in place, efficient
and slow moving thunderstorms could form. These warm and efficient
rain processes could produce rainfall rates in excess of 2 inches
per hour, and result in locally heavy rainfall over isolated
areas. Some of the higher rainfall totals through Wed could fall
over already flooded areas. As the rainfall extends northward,
more areas could fall under flooded conditions and the flash flood
watch will be extended northward as well.
The main heavy rainfall axis should shift back to the west toward
Texas by Wednesday afternoon as a strengthening mid to upper level
ridge axis begins to exert greater influence over the forecast area.
Increasing upper level subsidence and a pool of drier air in the mid-
levels will begin to spread into the region from the east.
This will bring lower precipitable water values and slightly lower
rain chances to the area with a fairly sharp east to west POP
gradient in place. Temperatures will also begin to warm as ridging
builds in with highs warming from the upper 70s and lower 80s into
the mid 80s. The convection will be largely diurnal on Wednesday
with most of the activity diminishing in the evening hours. A strong
subsident inversion should keep things somewhat dry Thursday
allowing the area to finally dry up somewhat.
.LONG TERM (Friday through Monday Night)...The ridge axis will
continue to build into the area with increasing subsidence and a
strong mid-level cap taking hold of most of the area. A sharp east
to west gradient in atmospheric moisture will be evident on Friday
with higher POP values across the western third of the CWA. By the
weekend, the high will be in firm control of the area with a strong
capping inversion and warmer than average temperatures in the upper
80s and lower 90s expected. There could be some isolated diurnal
convection across the western third of the CWA where just a bit more
moisture and less influence of the ridge is expected.
Overall, a much drier and warmer pattern is expected to develop by
the weekend.
&&
.AVIATION...Another round of showers and thunderstorms should begin
to develop during the late morning hours and continue to develop
through the afternoon. Brief periods of IFR conditions could
accompany these thunderstorms along with gusty winds from variable
directions depending on TS direction of approach.
&&
.MARINE...A tightening pressure gradient will bring increased
onshore flow to the area through the end of the week. Southeast
winds of 15 to 25 knots will produce rough seas due to a combination
of both wind waves and swell through Saturday. As a result, small
craft advisories are anticipated to continue over the open Gulf
waters and sounds through the end of the week. Tides will also be
higher along south and east facing shores and some minor coastal
flooding will be possible.
