Area forecast discussion, Mar 20, 4:07 PM CDT, 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lake Charles LA
407 PM CDT Sun Mar 20 2022

.SHORT TERM [Today through Tuesday night]...

Clear skies are currently being seen throughout the area with near
average temperatures and low relative humidity. Elevated
southeasterly winds will continue into tonight which will help to
bring moisture into the area. Since winds will remain elevated,
significant fog formation will not be expected tonight.

A frontal system will be moving through the area late Monday into
Tuesday. There is concern as to the timing of the squall line as
well as if the squall line will stall. The HRRR is indicating
that the squall line will remain mostly stationary just west of
our area late Monday into early Tuesday morning before eventually
progressing faster through our area. As such, A Flood Watch has
been issued for late Monday into Tuesday for parts of our area.

Model soundings indicate significant low-level and mid-level
moisture, significant DCAPE, significant speed shear, and some
directional shear. The Storm Prediction Center has most of our
area in an Enhanced risk of severe weather late Monday into
Tuesday with parts of the area in a Moderate risk on Tuesday.
Damaging wind gusts, large hail, flooding, lighting, and tornadoes
will be possible as the frontal system moves through the area.

With winds expected to increase tomorrow with a tightening
pressure gradient as the frontal system approaches the area, a
Wind Advisory has been issued for tomorrow during the day.

After the front passes, drier weather will be expected with
temperatures expected to be near average.

55

.LONG TERM [Wednesday through Sunday]...

After all the active weather on Tuesday, things settle quite a bit
for the remainder of the forecast. A dry cold front is expected to
pass through on Thursday, otherwise high pressure dominates the
weather pattern through next weekend.

Temperature wise it will be on the cool side in the morning with
lows in the 40s through Saturday, before a warming trend starts late
in the weekend. Highs will be in the 60s and 70s.

15

.MARINE...

Elevated onshore winds will become stronger tomorrow with an
approaching frontal system. Wave heights will also increase as the
front moves through the area. The stronger winds will be expected
to continue into the middle of the week. A Small Craft Advisory
will be in effect tomorrow into the middle of the week.
