NWS New Orleans, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 26, 1:30 PM CST, 15 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS/BATON ROUGE LA 230 PM CDT TUE JUN 26 2001 SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO FORM ON ADVANCING SEA BREEZE FRONT THAT EXTENDS FROM JUST SOUTH OF BATON ROUGE TO HOUMA. ITS POSSIBLE THAT THE SEA BREEZE FRONT COULD MAKE IT A LITTLE FARTHER INLAND SO I HAVE UPDATED THE ZONES BETWEEN NEW ORLEANS AND BATON ROUGE TO INDICATE A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON. BEHIND THE SEA BREEZE FRONT IN LA DEW POINTS ARE IN THE LOWER 70S AND LIGHT SOUTH FLOW PREVAILS. THESE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DIE OFF IN A FEW HOURS ONCE SURFACE HEATING CUTS OFF. I EXPECTED MORE THUNDERSTORMS TO FORM NEAR THE LA COAST LATE TONIGHT AND ADVANCE INLAND TOMORROW ALONG THE SEA BREEZE FRONT. THE CUT OFF UPPER LEVEL LOW SHOULD BE JUST TO THE NORTH OF US TOMORROW IN EASTERN MO. IT WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT WEST SOUTHWEST THROUGH THURSDAY. THIS WILL PUT SOUTHEAST LA AND SOUTH MISSISSIPPI IN A MORE FAVORABLE QUADRANT FOR 500 MB POSITIVE VORTICITY ADVECTION ON WEDNESDAY. THERE WILL BE EVEN MORE POSTIVE VORTICITY ADVECTION OVER THE AREA ON THURSDAY. I AM GOING TO DROP THE MENTION OF POSSIBLE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE ZONES. THE ONLY RISK I SEE WOULD BE FROM HAIL. HOWEVER THE UPPER LEVEL LOW...THE -12C 500 MB TEMPERATURES AND STEEP LAPSE RATES FAVORABLE FOR LARGE HAIL WILL BE TOO FAR NORTH FROM THE FORECAST AREA. ALSO...THE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR PATTERN WILL BE VERY WEAK. MCB 67/90/67/90 0214 BTR 70/89/70/90 2314 MSY 72/90/72/89 1314 GPT 70/88/70/88 0213 .NEW...NONE LA...NONE. MS...NONE.
