AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
308 PM CST THU MAR 9 2006
.DISCUSSION...POWERFUL SQUALL LINE CURRENTLY MOVING EASTWARD
ACROSS MISSISSIPPI AND JUST INTO EAST-CENTRAL LOUISIANA THIS
AFTERNOON. THUS FAR...THE SOUTHERN EXTENT OF THE LINE HAS SHOWN
TROUBLE REMAINING ORGANIZED AS IT ENCOUNTERS SOME DRIER AIR ALOFT
ACROSS THE CENTRAL GULF COAST. STILL...THE THREAT EXISTS FOR SOME
STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING
HOURS GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE LOW LEVEL INFLOW COUPLED WITH SOME
DECENT MID LEVEL FORCING.
STRONG GRADIENT WIND ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA HAS ALSO BEEN QUITE
IMPRESSIVE TODAY WITH SUSTAINED WINDS IN SOME AREAS NEAR 30 MPH
WITH GUSTS EXCEEDING 45 MPH. THE GRADIENT IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN
LATER TONIGHT AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY DIMINISHES ACROSS THE GULF
COAST WITH THE UPPER TROUGH EXITING TOWARD THE NORTHEAST. A SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY THOUGH WILL REMAIN INTACT ACROSS THE GULF COASTAL
WATERS THROUGH TONIGHT AS THE WINDS AND SEAS GRADUALLY RESPOND TO
THE WEAKENING GRADIENT.
A SLIGHTLY MORE QUIET WEATHER PATTERN THEN RETURNS TO THE AREA FOR
THE WEEKEND PERIOD AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
STATES WITH SOUTHWESTERLY DEVELOPING FLOW ALOFT. THE LOW LEVEL
GRADIENT THOUGH LOOKS TO BECOME MORE ENHANCED AGAIN AS THE SURFACE
HIGH BUILDS TOWARD THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD. RAIN CHANCES WILL ALSO
REMAIN IN PLACE AS WEAK EMBEDDED DISTURBANCES ALOFT TRAVERSE
ACROSS THE REGION. THE NEXT COLD FRONT IS STILL INDICATED BY THE
GFS TO SWEEP THROUGH THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY LATE MON WITH A
CLEARING AND COOLING TREND BEGINNING TUE.
