AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA 406 AM CDT WED JUN 13 2007 .SHORT TERM... EXTREMELY AMPLIFIED RIDGE REACHING WELL INTO THE POLAR REGIONS OF CANADA THIS MORNING. THIS BY NATURE CAUSES AMPLIFICATION DOWNSTREAM AND THUS WE SEE A VERY DEEP TROUGH OVER THE EAST COAST. EVIDENCE OF THE RIDGE IS SEEN VERY WELL BY TEMPS. MID 60 EARLY MORNING TEMPS ARE FOUND AS FAR NORTH AS THE NORTHERN MANITOBA PROVINCE. EARLY MORNING TEMPS NEAR 40 ARE EVEN SEEN IN THE LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN. THIS TYPE OF PROLONGED HI MIN TEMPS ARE NOT BY ANY MEANS NORMAL. DRY SUBSIDENT HOT AIR IS MOVING SOUTHWARD OVER THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE COUNTRY. THE DRY AIR IS CAUSING A TROUGH BOUNDARY TO SET UP AND HAS BEEN STATIONARY OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS FROM THE TENN/NORTH CAR BORDER TO NEW ORLEANS. DISTURBANCES CONTINUE TO PARADE SOUTHWARD ALONG THIS TROUGH AXIS AS THE UPPER TROUGH CONTINUES TO DIG. THE DRY AIR IS PROGGED TO MOVE INTO THE AREA TODAY. AS THIS HAPPENS...ANY TS THAT DEVELOP WOULD HAVE A VERY STRONG POTENTIAL FOR SEVERITY. .CONVECTIVE... RAN THE RICKS INDEX/PRECIPITATION CALCULATOR ON THE GFS MODEL SOUNDING OVER NEW ORLEANS VALID 18Z TODAY.

USING A RANGE OF 344-352K FROM A SURFACE LIFT WITH A CONVECTIVE TEMP OF 89F AND DEWPOINT 71F YIELDS A A 53 PERCENT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS TODAY...PCPN 4.95 INCHES...POTENTIAL PCPN 8.28 INCHES FOR A TEMP BELOW 80F. RICKS INDEX 126 GIVES A 16 PERCENT CHANCE OF SEVERE WITH THE PRIMARY THREAT BEING DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND DOWNBURSTS OF 46KT /41-51KT/...PEA TO MARBLE SIZE HAIL WITH A CORRESPONDING VIL OF 70 KG/M2. THERE IS A TORNADO THREAT OF F0 INTENSITY AND WATERSPOUTS. ARKANSAS VIL OF THE DAY 63...HAIL-VIL PENNY AT 74 KG/M2.
