AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
423 AM CDT FRI APR 19 2013
.SHORT TERM...
LATEST RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND EVEN SOME EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA. THIS FRONT WILL USHER IN SOME MUCH COOLER AND
DRIER AIR. THERE IS A 15 TO 20 DEGREE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE WARM
SECTOR AND THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT. EXPECT A MUCH COOLER DAY
TODAY AND SATURDAY. SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS. SOME OF THESE SHOWERS HAVE PRODUCED SOME BRIEF HEAVY
RAINFALL. ANOTHER ISSUE THIS COULD BE THE ELEVATED WINDS BEHIND THE
FRONT ESPECIALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF LAKE PONTCHARTRAIN. STRONG
NORTHWEST WINDS OF 20 TO 25 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS TO 35 MPH WILL
BE POSSIBLE...HOWEVER AS THE FRONT MOVES EASTWARD THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL WEAKEN AND THE WINDS SHOULD WEAKEN THROUGHOUT THE
MORNING HOURS. SHOWERS SHOULD MOVE OUT OF THE AREA THIS MORNING
WITH ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A STRAY SHOWER.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION LATER ON TODAY INTO
SATURDAY. STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION IN THE WAKE OF THE PASSING
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL RESULT IN TEMPERATURES DROPPING A GOOD 20
DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. LOWS TONIGHT
LOOK LIKE THEY COULD DIP INTO THE MID TO UPPER 30S ACROSS THE
NORTHSHORE AND LOWER 40S TO THE SOUTH. TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE
SATURDAY BUT WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW NORMAL. 13/MH
.LONG TERM...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE TO THE EAST FOR THE BEGINNING OF NEXT
WEEK. MEANWHILE A ZONAL FLOW SETS UP IN THE UPPER LEVELS AND WITH
THE SURFACE LOW TO THE EAST EXPECT WARM MOIST AIR TO RETURN ACROSS
THE AREA BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. A MUCH STRONGER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
AND COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY
MORNING. THIS FRONT WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION TO THE
AREA. WILL CONTINUE TO CARRY CHANCE POPS DURING THIS TIME FRAME.
AFTER THE FRONT TEMPERATURES COOL TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL NEAR
MID WEEK. 13/MH
