.SHORT TERM...
(Tonight through Friday night)
Issued at 335 PM CST Wed Nov 29 2023
Mid-afternoon sfc analysis shows high pressure centered over the
sern CONUS and ridging wswwd, keeping a serly low-level flow in
place across the region. Water vapor imagery shows a general wrly
mid/upper-level flow now in place aloft, while a series of
disturbances ejecting out ahead of a Pacific storm system are
noted upstream. Visible imagery/sfc obs show plenty of mid/upper
cloud cover streaming overhead. Observations also show temps again
in the 60s this afternoon. Regional 88Ds, for the time being, are
PPINE, although like yesterday, marsh fire activity is ongoing.
Our long awaited heavy rainfall/severe event is just about here.
A deepening onshore flow will maintain a steady remoistening of
the area airmass, with forecast soundings advertising mean RH
values to 90 percent and PWAT values climbing to 1.8 inches, which
exceed the 90th percentile per SPC climo, by Thursday evening. As
lift from the initial approaching disturbance overspreads the
forecast area, widespread shower activity with occasional
thunderstorms will gradually spread from an initial onset over
our TX zones to coverage over the entire forecast area by tomorrow
afternoon. Given the high moisture content with good dynamics and
diffluent flow aloft, potentially heavy rains (mean QPFs today
have jumped back up to the 2 to 3 inch range with isolated near 4
inch amounts for all but the extreme sern zones) are expected
with this system and thus WPC has maintained a marginal risk for
excessive rain for the entire area for Thursday/Thursday night.
The other concern is the potential for severe weather, starting
tomorrow afternoon and continuing into the overnight hours.
Forecast soundings continue to indicate strong winds from the sfc
up through at least 700 millibars (potentially 50+ knots h8 to
h7), along with reasonable lapse rates and shear. As usual, the
main problem for severe initiation looks to be how much
instability can be worked up given good cloud cover which could
limit low-level heating/destabilization. Latest SPC update still
has interior sern TX in an enhanced risk (level 3 of 5) of severe
weather for Thursday afternoon/evening, with good helicity values
leading to a definite threat for tornadic activity. The remainder
of sern TX as well as wrn LA are in a slight risk (level 2 of 5)
while e-cntl/s-cntl LA remain in just a marginal risk.
A couple of additional forecast points for tomorrow. First, we
will likely need a Wind Advisory across the area as sfc winds are
progged to increase to 20-25 knots with gusts possibly exceeding
35 knots. Second, a Coastal Flood Advisory has been issued for the
Cameron/Jefferson coastal areas due to high tidal levels brought
on by the strong onshore flow. East of these areas, guidance
wasn't quite so bullish on coastal flood potential...persons with
interests near the coast east of the advised areas, especially
Vermilion Parish, should stay tuned in case an advisory is
required later for their area.
The initial wave of convection is progged to depart the sern zones
late Thursday night as the attendant shortwave ejects newd away
from the area, although small POPs do linger through the day on
Friday as remaining moisture, a sfc boundary and daytime heating
could help fire a few showers/storms.
Rain chances increase again Friday night though with the approach
of the next shortwave aloft along with potential low pressure
development along the old boundary.
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through next Tuesday)
Issued at 335 PM CST Wed Nov 29 2023
A long wave trough will still be over the Rockies at the start of
the weekend with a southwest flow aloft over SE TX and LA. Moisture
will continue to stream in from the Pacific on the subtropical jet
keeping rain in the forecast for Saturday and into Sunday. Chances
are expected to be highest across lower Acadiana and the coastal
waters which will be closest to a stalled frontal boundary and have
the best lift.
The upper trough axis is expected to shift east into Sunday shifting
rain chances. Guidance is lagging a bit and keeping rain possible
into Sunday night, however any appreciable accumulation should have
ended Saturday night or early Sunday.
A slightly cooler air mass will filter in behind the cold front for
Sunday into Monday. Dry weather is anticipated early to mid week
once the trough shifts east.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 620 PM CST Wed Nov 29 2023
This TAF package and discussion are set to detail the hours
leading up to and early hours of a robust frontal passage
occurring tomorrow.
Surface high pressure situated to the northeast of the region will
continue its movement to the east. This shift, along with the
development of low over the central US, will cause winds to turn
more to a southeast to south vector as well as increase on a
tightening pressure gradient starting around 05Z. These elevated
winds will lift northward a warm front into southeast Texas and
Louisiana, causing ceilings to gradually fall through the early
morning hours. MVFR ceilings could start as early as 09Z along
with VCSH within the spreading warm sector.
Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms as well as sustained
strong southeast winds with gusts 20 to 30 knots are then
expected from 12Z to the end of the period (and beyond.) All
hazards will be possible with storms including localized damaging
wind gusts, tornadoes, hail, heavy downpours and frequent
lightning. Ceilings will also likely fall to IFR with showers and
storms.

.MARINE...
Issued at 335 PM CST Wed Nov 29 2023
A Gale Watch has been issued for the offshore waters west of
Intracoastal City for tomorrow. Meanwhile, SCAs have been issued
for all of the coastal waters at some point over the next couple
of days as onshore flow really ramps up ahead of the approaching
storm system. Thanks to WFOs HGX and LIX for excellent
coordination today.
