AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
720 AM CDT THU APR 11 2013
.UPDATE...
.SOUNDING DISCUSSION...
MISSING WIND DATA IN THE LOWER LEVELS...LOST PTU AND FLIGHT
TERMINATED AT 240 MB. A MODERATE SOUTHERLY FLOW IN THE LOWEST
LEVELS WITH A MODERATE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW IN PLACE ALOFT. A MOIST
AND UNSTABLE SOUNDING WITH A PW OF 1.61 INCHES AND AN LI OF -3.8.
A CAP IN PLACE ABOVE 675 MB. AN OVERCAST STRATUS CLOUD DECK IN
PLACE ABOVE 1400 FEET ASL WHERE DEW POINT DEPRESSIONS ARE AROUND
ZERO DEGREES.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 439 AM CDT THU APR 11 2013/
SYNOPSIS...
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE IS CENTERED OVER CENTRAL ILLINOIS WITH A
COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHWARD ROUGHLY ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
TO NEAR NATCHEZ AND THEN THROUGH SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA. A BROAD
AND NEARLY CONTINUOUS BAND OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
IS LOCATED ALONG AND BEHIND THE FRONT. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE FRONT ACROSS SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA.
ROUGHLY A 20 DEGREE GRADIENT ACROSS THE FRONT WITH TEMPS IN THE
LOW TO MID 70S AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND IN THE MID 50S IMMEDIATELY
BEHIND THE FRONT.
LOCALLY...TEMPERATURES STILL SITTING IN THE LOW TO MID 70S AS THE
FRONT HAS NOT YET REACHED EVEN THE NORTHWESTERN MOST PORTIONS OF
THE AREA. MOISTURE AXIS EXTENDS FROM CENTRAL GULF THROUGH LOCAL AREA
AND INTO CENTRAL/NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI WITH LOCAL DEWPOINTS STILL
IN THE UPPER 60S AND LOWER 70S.
DISCUSSION...
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW IS LOCATED OVER NEBRASKA WITH TROUGH AXIS
EXTENDING SOUTHWESTWARD INTO CENTRAL TEXAS. THE LOW WILL CONTINUE
TO CRAWL NORTHEASTWARD AND AS IT DOES SO A SECONDARY SHORT WAVE
ROTATING AROUND THE LOW WILL FINALLY KICK START THE FRONT/S
MOVEMENT THIS MORNING. THE FRONT WILL TRAVERSE THE LOCAL AREA
THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY...BRINGING WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ALONG WITH IT.
SPC CONTINUES TO INDICATE A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS
THE REGION TODAY...WITH THE AREA OF HIGHEST RISK BEING GENERALLY
ALONG AND EAST OF A LINE FROM HOUMA TO MANDEVILLE TO BOGALUSA...
AND ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST. THE FRONT WILL
NOT REACH THESE AREAS UNTIL LATER IN THE MORNING OR EARLY
AFTERNOON...WHEN DAYTIME HEATING WILL HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO
DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE A BIT MORE THAN IN AREAS TO THE WEST.
AS THE FRONT PROGRESSES EASTWARD...A SQUALL LINE IS STILL
FORECAST TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT. THE MAIN THUNDERSTORM THREAT
WILL BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...ESPECIALLY IN ANY BOWING SEGMENTS
THAT DEVELOP ALONG THE LINE. WHILE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME
UNIDIRECTIONAL THROUGH THE COLUMN AS THE FRONT APPROACHES...THERE
WILL STILL BE SOME SPEED SHEAR WHICH MAY RESULT IN A FEW ROTATING
STORMS. THUS...STRONGER UPDRAFTS WITH LARGE HAIL AND AN ISOLATED
TORNADO OR TWO CANNOT BE RULED OUT.
IN ADDITION TO THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
MAY ALSO BECOME AN ISSUE IN SOME PLACES. RAINFALL TOTALS ARE
GENERALLY EXPECTED IN THE 2 TO 3 INCH RANGE...THOUGH SOME HIGHER
TOTALS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE REMAINS HIGH
DUE TO DRY SOIL CONDITIONS AND GENERALLY LOW RIVER LEVELS.
WHILE NUISANCE TYPE STREET FLOODING MAY BE POSSIBLE WITH SOME OF
THE HEAVIER THUNDERSTORMS...THESE IMPACTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
GENERALLY MINIMAL AND LOCALIZED. THUS NO FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE
ISSUED.
THUNDERSTORM THREATS WILL COME TO AN END FROM WEST TO EAST AS THE
FRONT CLEARS THE AREA. THE FRONT SHOULD BE APPROACHING THE
EASTERN EDGE OF THE FORECAST AREA BY MID EVENING.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA BRIEFLY FOR FRIDAY BUT WILL
QUICKLY SHIFT EASTWARD ON SATURDAY WITH WINDS BECOMING EASTERLY
BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND SOUTHEASTERLY BY SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS
WILL BRING ANOTHER MOIST AIR MASS INTO THE AREA FOR THE SECOND
HALF OF THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK. AN UPPER SHORT WAVE MOVING
INTO THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY IS EXPECTED TO HELP FIRE OFF
SOME CONVECTION SUNDAY...AND HAVE BUMPED POPS UP BY ABOUT 10
PERCENT INTO THE 40 TO 50 PERCENT RANGE...WHICH IS STILL SLIGHTLY
LOWER THAN THE MAV GUIDANCE. LINGERING MOISTURE IN THE AREA WILL
CONTINUE TO ALLOW FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH MOST OF NEXT WEEK...WITH THE NEXT FRONTAL
SYSTEM EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA LATE IN THE WEEK.
AVIATION...
LOWERED CIGS ARE IN PLACE WITH IFR TO LIFR RANGE IN ADVANCE OF THE
SHRA/TSRA AND COLD FRONT THROUGH MORNING. HAVE TIMED A 4 HOUR
TEMPO PERIOD OF TSRA WITH STRONG WIND GUSTS BASED ON A CONSENSUS
OF THE GLOBAL AND REGIONAL/LOCAL WRF/NMM MODELS...STARTING AROUND
KBTR- KMCB 11-13Z...KHUM-KHDC AROUND 15Z...KASD-KMSY 16Z...AND
KGPT AROUND 19Z. CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE TO MVFR WITH SOME
LINGERING SHRA AFTER THE COLD FRONT PASSES...THEN CLEARING WILL
OCCUR 00-03Z FRIDAY.
MARINE...
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF THE COASTAL
WATERS DUE TO THE TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT AHEAD OF THE FRONT. THE
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE WATERS TODAY. WITH PERSISTENT
ONSHORE FLOW WILL RESULT IN SOMEWHAT ABOVE NORMAL TIDE LEVELS...IN
THE RANGE OF 1 TO 1.5 FEET ABOVE NORMAL.
AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL SHORT BE LIVED
BUT 1000 TO 700MB THICKNESS LAYER WILL LOWER ABOUT 20 TO 30M FROM
THIS EVENING THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY. THIS FEATURE WILL ALLOW BOUNDARY
LAYER WINDS OF 20 TO 22 KNOTS TO MIXED DOWN TO SEA SURFACE LATER
THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER
THE REGION FOR THE END OF THE WEEK...AND THEN SHIFT EAST DURING THE
LATTER HALF OF THE WEEKEND.
