.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Tuesday night)
Issued at 410 AM CST Sun Jan 8 2023

CDFNT slowly progressing into the area over the past few hours,
with an estimated position near or just SE of a line from
Natchitoches to Jasper to Houston based on SFC observations.
Regional radar imagery reveals a rather broad swath of areas of rain
with embedded heavier showers and thunderstorms either side of the
boundary. This activity, along with the front, will continue to
gradually push EWD across the area this morning and into the
afternoon, exiting to the east by late afternoon or early evening as
an upstream shortwave over west TX this morning translates across TX
and LA. Until then, cannot rule out a localized flood risk via
high rain rates and cell training, but do not expect widespread
heavy rainfall.

A relatively cooler and drier airmass will filter into the region
in the wake of the front, with a decent amount of clearing
expected this afternoon into this evening. Although highs today
will continue to be above normal (65 to 70), this is certainly
cooler than the record/near record warmth seen yesterday. Cloud
cover will begin to return overnight into MON, however, as
additional upstream shortwave energy over the Baja this morning
treks EWD across TX. Latest guidance continues to depict best MSTR
quality remaining over the Gulf as this feature traverses the
area MON night, so small NBM PoPs generally along/S of I-10 look
good. Expect highs MON to be very near seasonal normals with a
cool SFC high prevailing underneath considerable cloud cover ahead
of the shortwave.

In the wake of this feature, the SFC high departs to the east with a
light southerly flow returning under SW to westerly low to mid level
flow. This WAA regime will send highs TUE back into the upper
60s/lower 70s.

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Sunday)
Issued at 410 AM CST Sun Jan 8 2023

Wednesday morning will start off with nearly zonal flow aloft and
two troughs, one weak one over the central Gulf and another
deepening one over the Four Corners States. At the surface, a high
pressure centered over FL will shift east as the system to our west
inches closer towards us. This will create a tight pressure
gradient, with winds out of the south near 10-20 MPH sustained and
higher gusts. This will pull in a plume of gulf moisture with PWATs
in the 75th to 90th percentile ahead of the next front.

Models seem to be in better agreement as to the upper level trough
and attached front out west. Going into Thursday, the trough will be
centered over the plains with the front sweeping through our
region. Conditions after the front will start off breezy with winds
out of the north and clearing skies. Our region will be sandwiched
between the departing system to the east and an elongated ridge out
to the west. Going into the weekend, winds will settle as the ridge
builds into the area. However going into Sunday an upper level ridge
will be overhead with the surface high over the east coast and
another approaching system out west. This will lead to another round
of strong southerly winds with moisture creeping back into the
region.

Temperatures will be quite warm before the front with highs in the
70s during the day and 60s at night. Post front temps will be
brought back down to climatological norms in the 60s during the day
and upper 30s to 40s overnight. One thing to note is that wind chill
values are expected to fall into the low to mid 30s behind the
front. Sunday will be nearly 10 degrees higher due to setup
described above.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 548 AM CST Sun Jan 8 2023

Messy forecast this morning as a cold front and upper level
disturbance are yielding areas of rain with embedded heavier
showers and thunderstorms as they progress through the area. MVFR
to VFR has tended to prevail away from the heavier showers and
thunderstorms, with these resulting in IFR to LIFR CIGS/VSBYS. A
more prevalent period of IFR CIGS is possible following frontal
passage, with lower clouds lifting/eroding generally from west to
east this afternoon. There is some uncertainty regarding whether
the Acadiana terminals will escape MVFR this evening, but for now
have leaned toward the more optimistic guidance. Nearly calm
winds and recent rains could lead to some VSBY restrictions
overnight into MON morning, and have trended in that direction
though not as aggressively as some of the guidance.

.MARINE...
Issued at 410 AM CST Sun Jan 8 2023

Onshore flow along with scattered to numerous showers and
thunderstorms will continue ahead of a cold front forecast to push
across the coastal waters today. Modest offshore flow is expected
in the wake of the front, with rains ending by late this afternoon
or early evening. Winds will decrease and become more easterly on
Monday, with a light onshore flow returning Tuesday. This onshore
flow is expected to increase Wednesday and Wednesday night ahead
of another cold front forecast to sweep through the coastal waters
on Thursday.
