Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lake Charles LA
1241 PM CDT Sun Mar 24 2024

...New AVIATION...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1020 AM CDT Sun Mar 24 2024

Cap on this morning's KLCH upper air sounding should stay around
this afternoon that no significant shower activity is expected.
However, extensive mid to upper level cloudiness should help
filter the sunshine somewhat as moisture moves out ahead of an
upper level disturbance to the west. Rain chances increase on
Monday as a cold front moves through. More details on timing and
strength of the system will be in the afternoon package.

No changes to the forecast at this time.

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Tuesday night)
Issued at 442 AM CDT Sun Mar 24 2024

At present the surface high pressure is over the ArkLaMiss area with
winds in our area out of the east and ENE. Over the morning hours,
we will see the high pressure move off and winds turn out of the
south. All eyes are now on a system making its way into the Rockies
as I type. The pressure gradient between the departing high and
incoming system will tighten, leading to stronger southerly flow
this afternoon and tonight. While it will not be quite breezy enough
to lead to a Wind Advisory today, its very possible that one will
need to be issued tomorrow. Gradient winds alone will be in the 20
to 30 MPH range with higher gusts possible. Another issue that will
present itself with the elevated southerly winds is the influx of
moisture it will bring. Dewpoints tonight and tomorrow will be in
the mid to upper 60s with PWATs above the 90th percentile.

As this system and attached front continue to push east, we will see
showers and storms start to spread through the area as early as
tomorrow morning with activity increasing in intensity and becoming
more widespread over the afternoon hours. As a result of this,
nearly the entire CWA is in a Slight Risk for severe thunderstorms.
In addition to that, we are also in a Marginal Risk for excessive
rainfall save the Golden Triangle and southern Jasper and Newton
Counties. In regards to severe weather, all modes will be possible
with the main threats appearing to be damaging wind gusts and
isolated tornadoes. QPF totals have dropped a bit over the last 24h,
however the same thought of keeping an eye on parts of CenLA remain.

Stigger/87

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday through Sunday)
Issued at 442 AM CDT Sun Mar 24 2024

Post-frontal surface high pressure will be building south from the
Plains into the forecast area as we begin the long term, resulting
in a dry and mild start to the period. Both Wed and Thurs will bring
pleasant conditions with slightly below average temps, with highs
expected to top out in the upper 60s to mid 70s while overnight lows
will dip into the low 40s to low 50s.

The surface high begins to slide off to the east as we move into
Friday, while aloft ridging will be building across the center of
the country. As surface winds return to an onshore flow by early
Friday moisture will begin to gradually increase once again as we
head into the weekend. Friday looks to be fairly seasonal as
moisture return starts out slow, with highs in the mid to upper 70s
and lows in the 50s on tap. After a full day of return flow moisture
begins to ramp up a bit over the weekend, with dewpoints returning
to the upper 50s to low 60s and afternoon highs topping out around
80 degrees both Sat and Sun. Rain chances will however, remain near
zero through the Easter weekend.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1238 PM CDT Sun Mar 24 2024

A storm system will gather strength over the Plains tonight and
Monday. This will further increase southerly winds and increase
moisture. Clouds will increase with MVFR ceilings at KBPT/KLCH
spreading to the east at all terminals during the night. Showers
will increase during the morning hours at KBPT/KLCH/KAEX to add
VCSH to the forecast after 25/15z. Thunderstorm activity will
increase further ahead of a cold front beyond the forecast period
on Monday afternoon.

Rua

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 442 AM CDT Sun Mar 24 2024

Winds have begun to shift east and will shift out of the
southeast later in the day as ridging moves east. Onshore flow
will then strengthen today and into Monday as the low pressure
deepens over the Plains and brings a front into the region. A
combination of elevated winds and seas will bring about Advisory
conditions starting today. The front will then be accompanied by
scattered to numerous storms Monday into Tuesday.
