...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM, MARINE...

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Friday night)
Issued at 245 AM CST Wed Dec 14 2022

A strong cold front is draped across the north and west parts of
our CWA this morning, currently located roughly from Alexandria to
DeRidder to near Houston. A few showers are ongoing behind the
front however, the main line of storms is along and ahead of the
boundary from roughly Rapides to Cameron Parish at this time. This
line of storms has included several tornado warnings along with
significant rainfall rates and gusty winds tonight, and
unfortunately it looks like the threat for severe weather and
flooding will persist well into the daytime hours today. The
boundary will continue to slowly track eastward today, and should
eventually make its way over towards Acadiana by the midday and
out of the CWA through the afternoon hours. Some convection will
continue behind the front today, as the drier post-frontal air
lags a bit, but the severe weather threat will largely remain
along and ahead of the boundary.

This afternoon into tonight, cooler and drier air will begin to
overspread the region behind the departing cold front as winds
shift to the north. Skies will gradually clear from west to east
and temperatures will drop rather quickly through the later half
of the day. Tonight, a much more seasonal period of weather will
begin with lows falling into the low 40s area-wide. Sunny and dry
weather will continue tomorrow and Friday with light offshore flow
and sunny skies expected. Afternoon highs will top out in the low
to mid 60s tomorrow and in the upper 50s to low 60s on Friday.
Moisture looks to slowly return by late Friday, which will allow
cloud cover to fill back in rather quickly Friday night. However,
rain chances will remain near zero through the end of the week.

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through Wednesday)
Issued at 245 AM CST Wed Dec 14 2022

.LONG TERM [Saturday through Wednesday]...

Saturday will be seeing continued cold air advection behind the
departing cold front as the surface high builds across the area.
Chances of rain less than 20% expected to end by the afternoon hours
with decreasing clouds. Expecting a light freeze across Central
Louisiana for Sunday morning.

By Sunday night through Monday night, another upper level shortwave
within the zonal flow aloft will bring high chances of showers and a
few thunderstorms. This is expected to be mostly over-running
precipitation as our area expected to remain on the cool side of the
surface low expected to pass west to east across the northern Gulf
of Mexico. Expected lows Monday in the upper 30s to upper 40s with
highs remaining in the 50s.

Expect decreasing chances of precipitation by Tuesday, but
increasing once again by Wednesday as another weaker upper level
shortwave moves across the area. Blended guidance shows chances 30-
40% for inland areas, with higher chances across the coastal waters
as another weaker surface low passes across the Northern Gulf of
Mexico. With our region expected to remain withing the cool sector,
Tuesday and Wednesday lows expected in the upper 30s to mid 40s with
highs in the mid 50s to near 60.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1128 PM CST Tue Dec 13 2022

A mix of MVFR and VFR ceilings are being reported at the terminals
currently. During the overnight scattered showers and thunderstorms
are expected to increase with ceilings lowering to MVFR levels as
a storm system begins to move eastward toward the forecast area.
The showers and thunderstorms are expected to form into line
segments with a possible squall line affecting the terminals
late tonight and early Wednesday morning. IFR conditions expected
as the squall line moves through with gusty winds. This line will
slow before morning hours waiting for a cold front to move across
during Wednesday afternoon when conditions will finally return to
VFR.

Rua

.MARINE...
Issued at 245 AM CST Wed Dec 14 2022

Moderate and gusty southerly winds will shift west and northwest
through the day as an upper level disturbance pushes a strong
cold front into the coastal waters. Scattered to numerous showers
and thunderstorms are expected to continue through the morning
along and ahead of this front, before gradually tapering off
through the afternoon and evening hours. Strong offshore flow this
afternoon and tonight will gradually relax by tomorrow, before
increasing again by the start of the weekend. Rain chances will
remain low through the end of the week with isolated showers
returning by the weekend.
