AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEW ORLEANS LA
617 PM CDT WED JUN 25 2014
.UPDATE...
UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW. 14/MM
&&
.AVIATION...
LARGE COMPLEX OF SHRA/TSRA WILL IMPACT THE SE LOUISIANA TERMINALS
TONIGHT. THE HEAVIEST ACTIVITY WILL OCCUR BETWEEN NOW AND 06Z.
WIND GUSTS OF AROUND 30 KTS...VISBILITIES OF 1-2SM...AND CEILINGS
OF 1000-1500 FT WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE STRONGER STORMS. EXPECT
THE ACTIVITY TO BE IMPACTING ALL THE TERMINALS BY 02Z. SHORT-TERM
MODELS INDICATE THAT THE ACTIVITY WILL TRANSITION TO MOSTLY
STRATIFORM RAIN AFTER 06Z SO LEFT THUNDER OUT WITH LOWER
CONFIDENCE. WIDESPREAD SHRA/TSRA EXPECTED AGAIN THURSDAY WITH
HEAVIER ACTIVITY FORMING AS EARLY AS 12Z. MVFR CEILINGS ARE
EXPECTED TO PREDOMINATE LATE TONIGHT/THURSDAY. KGPT TERMINAL
EXPECTING MINIMAL IMPACT TONIGHT BUT WILL SEE IMPACTS THURSDAY.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 331 PM CDT WED JUN 25 2014/
SHORT TERM...
A LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO
CURRENTLY IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE SOUTHERN AND WESTERN PARTS
OF OUR AREA BY THIS EVENING. THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COULD
PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL AT TIMES AND WHILE NO WIDESPREAD SEVERE
WEATHER IS EXPECTED...SOME OF THE STRONGER STORMS COULD AT LEAST
APPROACH SEVERE LIMITS. WITH PW VALUES CONTINUING AROUND 2
INCHES...ANY STORMS THAT LINGER OVER AN AREA COULD PRODUCE SOME
STREET FLOODING IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. ELEVATED POPS CONTINUE
THROUGH TOMORROW AND WHICH WILL LIKELY ONLY ALLOW HIGH
TEMPERATURES TOMORROW TO RANGE FROM THE LOW TO MID 80S. A SURFACE
RIDGE WILL ATTEMPT TO PUSH FURTHER WEST BY LATE IN THE DAY ON
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY ALLOWING FOR RAIN CHANCES TO BEGIN TO
DIMINISH.
LONG TERM...
FOR THE WEEKEND...THE AFOREMENTIONED SURFACE RIDGE WILL TRY TO
PUSH MORE INTO THE AREA AND WHILE RAIN CHANCES ARE LIKELY TO
DIMINISH...IT WILL STILL BE LATE JUNE IN LOUISIANA...AND THAT
MEANS AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. OVERALL THOUGH THE
WEEKEND IS LOOKING MUCH QUIETER THAN THE NEXT 48 HOURS WHICH
SHOULD ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB BACK INTO THE LOWER
90S...ESPECIALLY ON SUNDAY.
MARINE...
NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE COASTAL FORECAST THIS AFTERNOON. THE
MAIN PROBLEM WILL BE THE LARGE MASS OF SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY OVER THE COASTAL WATERS JUST TO OUR WEST WHICH ARE LIKELY
TO SPREAD INTO THE AREA LATER THIS EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT
PERIOD. ELEVATED WINDS AND SEAS CAN BE EXPECTED NEAR THESE SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS ESPECIALLY WEST OF THE MOUTH OF THE RIVER.
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL KEEP WINDS AND SEAS IN CHECK FOR THE
MOST PART OUTSIDE OF THE AREAS OF CONVECTION.
