NWS New Orleans, LA wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Apr 25, 2:16 PM CST, 34 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA 316 PM CDT TUE APR 25 2006 .DISCUSSION... IN THE SHORT TERM...AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM A PREVIOUS MCS IN ARKANSAS AND A RESULTING STRONG MESOHIGH CENTERED OVER ARKANSAS AND NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. AS OF THIS DISCUSSION...THE MAIN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY EXTENDS FROM NEAR ALEXANDRIA TO MCCOMB TO NEAR HATTIESBURG. THE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN ENHANCED BY A PASSING SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND THE NOSE OF A JET STREAK POKING INTO THE CENTRAL GULF STATES. ENHANCED LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS JET STREAK AND SOME DIFLUENT AIR ALOFT...HAS ALLOWED A FEW OF THE THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP DEEP CORES AND THUS TURN SEVERE THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...AS THE HEATING OF THE DAY WANES INTO THIS EVENING...THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD BEGIN TO DISSIPATE. THIS PATTERN IS MUCH MORE TYPICAL FOR JUNE AND JULY THAN FOR LATE APRIL...BUT THE OVERALL RECENT PATTERN OF WARM TEMPERATURES AND BLOCKING HIGHS IN THE SOUTHEAST HAVE RESEMBLED EARLY SUMMER FOR THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS. A BRIEF LULL IN THE ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED EARLY TONIGHT...AS RAIN COOLED AND SOMEWHAT MORE STABLE AIR MOVES INTO THE REGION. ALSO...SOME WEAK SUBSIDENCE IN THE WAKE OF THE PASSING SHORTWAVE WILL PUT A WEAK CAP IN PLACE EARLY TONIGHT. HOWEVER...ANOTHER MUCH STRONGER LONGWAVE TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO LIFT OUT OF THE PLAINS AND PULL THROUGH THE REGION LATE TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW MORNING. A SHARP COLD FRONT WILL PUSH INTO THE CWA TOMORROW MORNING...SPARKING OFF ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE REGION. IT APPEARS THAT AS THE FRONT APPROACHES ANOTHER JET COUPLET COULD DEVELOP OVER THE CENTRAL GULF COAST. ENHANCED DIFLUENCE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS COUPLET COMBINED WITH STRONG FORCING ALONG THE FRONT SHOULD ALLOW A LINE OF STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP OVERNIGHT AND PUSH INTO THE REGION TOMORROW MORNING. LOOKING AT FORECAST SOUNDINGS...IT APPEARS THAT DIRECTIONAL SHEAR WILL BE LIMITED...BUT DEEP LAYER SPEED SHEAR SHOULD ALLOW FOR POSSIBLE BOW SEGMENTS ALONG A LINEAR SYSTEM TOMORROW MORNING. BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS...THE FRONT SHOULD BE NEARLY THROUGH THE CWA...WITH MOST ACTIVITY MOVING INTO THE COASTAL WATERS. STRONG SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE FRONT WILL ADVECT IN TOMORROW NIGHT...CLEARING OUT THE SKIES. SUBSIDENCE WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY...AS LOW LEVEL AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILD IN. GOING INTO THE WEEKEND...SOME UNCERTAINTY EXISTS ON EXACTLY WHAT WILL HAPPEN. HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP POPS LOW FOR THIS REASON. THE ECMWF AND THE GFS ARE IN DISAGREEMENT ON THE SPEED OF A CLOSED LOW EJECTING OUT OF THE FOUR CORNERS. THE ECMWF IS MUCH SLOWER...KEEPING THE LOW BACK IN THE FOUR CORNERS THROUGH SUNDAY...AND NOT MOVING THE SYSTEM THROUGH UNTIL MONDAY AND TUESDAY. HOWEVER...THE GFS IS PULLING THE LOW INTO THE PLAINS ON SATURDAY AND PUSHING IT THROUGH ON SUNDAY. HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH THE GFS SOLUTION...AND HAVE A CHANCE OF RAIN FROM SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. OVERALL CONFIDENCE IS LOW WITH THE FORECAST TIMING. DUE TO AN ENHANCED AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE REGION...HAVE KEPT TEMPERATURES NEAR NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
