Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New Orleans LA
347 PM CDT Wed Oct 27 2021

.SHORT TERM...
The much anticipated cold front has pushed into our western zones,
and a good portion of our area ahead of this line has entered the
warm sector thanks to a northward surging warm front. A strong
tornado and damaging wind threat will exist for the remainder of
the afternoon into the evening hours as CAPE well over 2000 J/kg
and 0-3km SRH over 250 m2/s2 persists during this timeframe. The
threat area will shift east as the day comes to close with a
tornado watch out to 10 pm. The risk for severe weather will
quickly come to an end from west to east as the front pushes
through. Behind the front, there will some lingering showers but
that will end quickly as well. Winds will shift to the
west/northwest and will be gusty at times. 23

.LONG TERM...
Expect much cooler, drier air behind the front as surface high
pressure builds into the region by the end of the week. Our area
will remain under northwesterly flow aloft which will help
reenforce the cool conditions at the surface, especially for
Friday and Saturday night. The flow aloft becomes more zonal by
the end of the weekend, but our area will remain dry through the
end of the forecast period. 23

&&

.AVIATION...(18Z TAF Discussion)
MVFR ceilings are moving in or developing across all sites this
afternoon out ahead of the approaching cold front/squall line to
our west. Strong, gusty southeast winds will be experienced as the
warm front lifts northward and the pressure gradient tightens. Could
see some showers and isolated thunderstorms develop ahead of the
line and have this possibility included in the forecast.
Otherwise, expect the bulk of the action to be with the actual
front itself, along and just ahead of the line. TEMPO'd in some
IFR conditions and very strong winds with the stronger
thunderstorms in the line. Tried to time the passage from west to
east but some amendments may need to be made later in case the
speed or orientation changes. After the frontal passage, there
will be some limited post frontal rain chances but that should
come to a quick end. Conditions will improve from west to east
late in the period but westerly winds will be strong beginning
around or just after daybreak. 23

&&

.MARINE...
Hazardous conditions will exist throughout much of the forecast
period as the cold front pushes through this evening. Strong to
severe thunderstorms will be possible until the frontal passage.
Afterwards, west to northwest winds will likely increase to Gale
force winds, sustained winds in excess of 34 knots with higher
gusts, for much of Thursday and Friday. Winds will begin to relax
by the weekend as the pressure gradient subsides. 23
