AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
109 PM CST MON NOV 6 2006
.UPDATE...
MAIN CONCERNS ARE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL AND HEAVY RAIN/FLOOD
POTENTIAL THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ADJUSTED HIGHS TODAY UP
QUITE A BIT ABOVE EARLIER GUIDANCE AND FORECAST VALUES. THIS HAS
RESULTED IN MODERATE INSTABILITY WITH MSAS LI/S RUNNING -4 TO -6
OVER A LARGE PART OF SOUTHEAST LA TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY WHICH IS APPROACHING A MCB-BTR LINE. KLIX VAD WIND
PROFILE SHOWS DECENT DIRECTIONAL SHEAR BUT LITTLE SPEED SHEAR IN
THE 0-1 KM LAYER. WILL HAVE TO WATCH THUNDERSTORMS SOUTH OF I-10
IN SOUTHEAST LA FOR ANY ROTATION SINCE THEY BECOME MORE SURFACE
BASED.
SURFACE OUTFLOW CONTINUES TO PUSH HEAVIEST RAIN SOUTHEAST AROUND
15 KNOTS...SO EXCESSIVE RAINFALL POTENTIAL HAS REMAINED LOW THUS
FAR. WIDER SWATH OF HIGH REFLECTIVITY NEAR BATON ROUGE WILL LIKELY
CAUSE SIGNIFICANT PONDING AND POSSIBLY SOME STREET FLOODING.
RAINFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD REMAIN INSUFFICIENT FOR FLASH FLOODING OR
RIVER FLOODING UNLESS THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY PUTS ON THE BRAKES.
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR.

.AVIATION...
MVFR CEILINGS...REDUCED VISIBILITIES...AND WIND GUSTS AVERAGING
AROUND 30 KT IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE THE MAIN PROBLEM

ANTICIPATED QPF AMOUNTS WILL KEEP AREA RIVERS BELOW FLOOD STAGE
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
