NWS New Orleans, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 16, 2:30 AM CST, 11 hours earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA 330 AM CDT THU JUN 16 2005 .DISCUSSION...HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS LOOK TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER DAY. HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS THE GULF OF MEXICO WHILE A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY APPROACHES FROM THE NORTH. DRIER AIR ALOFT IS ALSO MAKING ITS WAY INTO THE REGION EMBEDDED WITHIN A NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME. LINGERING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES THOUGH FROM THE ACTIVITY LAST NIGHT MAY PROVIDE JUST ENOUGH FOCUS FOR A FEW THUNDERSTORMS LATER TODAY ALTHOUGH COVERAGE WILL BE SPARSE. THE PATTERN DOES LOOK TO CHANGE BY FRIDAY AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SETTLES NORTH OF THE GULF COAST WHILE AN MCS FEATURE ALOFT WORKS ITS WAY SOUTHEAST INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BY FRIDAY NIGHT. THESE FEATURES MAY PROVIDE THE MEANS FOR A BETTER CHANCE OF RAIN FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. STRONG RIDGING ALOFT THEN BEGINS TO BUILD ACROSS MUCH OF THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN CONUS WHILE THE WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS THE AREA WEAKENS AS HIGH PRESSURE RETURNS TO THE SOUTHEAST. THIS SHOULD ALLOW A RETURN TO SUMMERTIME CONDITIONS FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE NEW WEEK WITH MAYBE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN AT BEST. RAIN CHANCES MAY PICK UP SLIGHTLY BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK IF ENOUGH MOISTURE RETURN DEVELOPS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
