- Another line of severe storms will move through the region late
  on Sunday ahead of the next cold front. This line of storms
  could produce damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes.

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Sunday night)
Issued at 1215 PM CDT Sat Mar 14 2026

A very shallow upper level trough is dominating the pattern,
bringing partly cloudy skies and seasonable almost-early-spring
temperatures. Winds are generally light and out of the south.
Tonight will be seasonable with overnight lows around 60, give or
take.

Tomorrow sees the beginnings of changes in response to a
strengthening upper level low dropping down off the Rockies and
moving across the Plains. Ahead of the trough Sunday afternoon
winds will increase slightly to the 10-15 mph range and shift to
southwesterly and in the late afternoon to early evening expect
widespread convective showers. By late evening, say 10pm-ish the
front will be crossing our northwest borders. It will be in the
form of a QLCS bringing winds from the midlevels to the surface
and perhaps generating some bowing segments strong enough to
induce some weak rotations, that is tornadoes. Overall, though,
the front will be moving very quickly by 5am-ish Sunday morning.
The rapid movement could enhance the straightline winds, but may
act to suppress tornado development just because it is moving so
fast. When the front passes, it will leave behind rapidly clearing
skies, northwest winds, and chilly temperatures with the overnight
low, which actually happens around sunrise on Monday, around the
upper 30s to low 40s.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Monday through Friday night)
Issued at 1215 PM CDT Sat Mar 14 2026

Monday during the day will be chilly and blustery with winds out
of the northwest and the issuance of a Wind Advisory likely. The
strength of the low pressure and front will bring us one more
night of cold with freezing temperatures expected north of the
I-10/12 corridor. This will be followed by a slow warming trend
with chilly temps Tuesday and Tuesday night, reaching the low 70s
by Wednesday and the low 80s by the weekend. Our next chance for
rain is outside the foreseeable forecast period, well beyond seven
days from now.

&&

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 638 PM CDT Sat Mar 14 2026

A largely VFR forecast is in place at all of the terminals
through Sunday afternoon. There will be a scattered cloud deck
ranging between 2500 and 5000 feet through the period, but this
should have minimal impact on aviation operations. Stronger
boundary layer winds will help to keep fog development at bay due
to continued thermal mixing through the overnight hours. At MSY,
there is a metion of convective impacts with IFR restrictions at
the very end of the 30 hour TAF window from a line of storms that
are projected to quickly move through the area late Sunday
evening.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 1215 PM CDT Sat Mar 14 2026

Generally benign marine conditions are expected through early
Sunday with south winds around 10 knots. Sunday afternoon the area
begins to feel the effects of an approaching cold front and winds
swing through westerly. As the front passes, winds will quickly
shift to the northwest and increase to 30 to 35 knots with higher
gusts. These gale conditions will push seas over 12 feet in the
open Gulf waters creating very hazardous boating conditions. The
gale conditions will linger into Monday night before gradually
easing on Tuesday as another high pressure system becomes more
centered over the waters. As the high becomes centered over the
waters on Wednesday, winds will turn more easterly and fall to 10
knots or less. Seas will also decrease back to 3 feet or less by
Wednesday morning.
