produce an extreme fire danger. Fires will have erratic and
explosive growth behavior. Remember burn bans are in effect for
the entire area as the severe to exceptional drought conditions
continues.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lake Charles LA
1249 PM CDT Fri Aug 25 2023

...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Sunday night)
Issued at 307 AM CDT Fri Aug 25 2023

The region remains on the southeastern periphery of an upper level
ridge centered over northern Texas and Oklahoma. Subsidence will
continue to result in record high temperatures across the region
through the weekend. No changes were made to the Excessive Heat
Warning and Heat Advisories already in effect for today. With very
high confidence that little will change, these products were
extended into Saturday as well. The highest heat indices as of now
extend across central Louisiana From Avoyelles to St Mary so
limited the excessive heat warning to these areas for the time
being, but it may need to be expanded in subsequent updates should
forecast heat indices increase even slightly.

With a half dozen or more wildfires ongoing across the region and
more likely to initiate through the day today, areas of smoke have
been added to the forecast for parts of the region. Visibilities
within a few miles of wildfires could be reduced to less than a
mile with visibilities of two miles or less extending for 50 miles
or more.

Despite the continued subsidence of the persistent ridge, the
extreme temperatures, along with a not insignificant bump from
the seabreeze moving inland, was enough to initialize scattered
thunderstorms across the region yesterday afternoon and early
evening. Expect a similar evolution this afternoon as the sea
breeze works inland. Any of these storms will be capable of
producing frequent lightning and strong, gusty winds along outflow
boundaries.

A nearly identical scenario is expected into Saturday with perhaps
a bit higher coverage across lower acadiana per the latest short
range guidance. PoPs will increase somewhat more Sunday as the
upper level ridge begins to retrograde westward becoming centered
over the four corners region. While there will still be some mild
subsidence across the region, the approach of a southward
digging upper trof will provide some upper level support for
better convective coverage Sunday afternoon and evening. While
any precipitation is welcome at this point, these storms will do
very little to ease the ongoing drought or the critical fire
weather conditions across the region.

Jones

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through Friday)
Issued at 307 AM CDT Fri Aug 25 2023

The ridge that has dominated the weather pattern the past several
weeks will finally be retrograding to the west as a trough deepens
over the eastern US. Shortwave energy is progged to dig toward the
lower MS Valley on Monday, ushering a "cool" front into the region.
Precip water values around 2 inches and forcing along the boundary
will be sufficient to produce at least some scattered showers and
storms across the area during the day. High temperatures on Monday
will still be hot, but not quite as intense as the days preceding,
with max temps in the upper 90s to lower 100s.

The front will continue to progress south off the coast Monday night
into Tuesday as a tropical low takes shape over the SE Gulf of
Mexico. All deterministic global models depict this system, but with
varying degrees of strength, timing and track. Despite the
differences, the track is expected to stay over the eastern Gulf as
the system gets pulled northward then northeast by the trough over
the eastern US, leaving our area on the western/drier side of the
system. The latest TWO from NHC shows a high chance (70%) of
development over the next 7 days.

For our area, surface high pressure is expected to ridge southward
behind the front, ushering slightly lower temperatures and much
lower dewpoints into the region. Normally, these lower dewpoints
would be welcome, especially in August, but with the ongoing extreme
to exceptional drought conditions and extremely dry fuels
contributing to critical fire weather conditions, the dry airmass
will instead pose a threat for additional fire weather concerns.

As for temperatures, a slight reprieve from the recent oppressive
heat is in store with highs from Tuesday through Thursday in the
middle to upper 90s. Overnight lows will be more comfortable as
well, with temperatures falling into the upper 60s to lower 70s from
Wednesday through Friday morning.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1248 PM CDT Fri Aug 25 2023

As of the moment, quiet conditions ongoing with a few non routine
TAF sites reporting reduced vis due to the smoke from wildfires /
refineries, etc. As a result of the low confidence for smoke to
produce significantly reduced visibilities, mention of it did not
make it in the TAFs directly. In addition to smoke, we have isolated
showers and tstorms possible in the afternoon to evening hours.
TEMPOS are in place for that. As we have seen a few times over the
last few days, we also could have areas of patchy fog in the early
morning hours. Whatever forms will be burning off after sunrise.
Otherwise expect modest southerly winds to increase with gusts of up
to 25kts. Winds will taper overnight.
Stigger/87

.MARINE...
Issued at 307 AM CDT Fri Aug 25 2023

High pressure ridging across the Gulf of Mexico will keep light
onshore flow through Monday. Daily isolated to scattered showers
and thunderstorms can be expected. A weak frontal boundary is
expected to sag southward across the coastal waters Tuesday,
giving offshore flow. Potential tropical development in the
eastern Gulf of Mexico by the middle of next week could result in
significant increases in wave heights.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
Issued at 307 AM CDT Fri Aug 25 2023

Critically dry fuels will combine with low relative humidity
values and gusty winds, especially during the afternoon, to produce an
extreme fire danger. Fires will have erratic and explosive growth
behavior. Remember burn bans are in effect for the entire area as
the severe to exceptional drought conditions continues. Scattered
thunderstorms this afternoon will be capable of frequent lightning
that could lead to additional wildfire initiation. In addition,
outflow boundaries from these storms will have the potential to
produce rapid wind direction changes and locally strong wind gusts
in excess of 30 MPH.
