Area forecast discussion, Jun 13, 2:27 PM CST, 3 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LAKE CHARLES LA 327 PM CDT FRI JUN 13 2014 .SYNOPSIS...THE AREA REMAINS IN A ZONE OF SURFACE CONVERGENCE AND MOISTURE FROM AN OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT WASHED OUT. CONVECTION HAS REFIRED OVER INTERIOR SOUTHEAST TEXAS WHERE A GAP IN THE CLOUD COVER ALLOWED CONVECTIVE TEMPS TO REACHED. POOLING OF COOL AIR ALOFT LEFT IN THE WAKE OF AN UPPER TROF COULD ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL TSTMS TO FIRE OFF TO THE EAST OF THE CURRENT COMPLEX. && .SHORT TERM...RAIN CHANCES TAPER OFF THIS EVENING WITH LOSS OF DAY TIME HEATING AND BUILDING OF THE MID LEVEL RIDGE. SOME PATCHY FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER EASTERN PORTIONS OF CENTRA LOUSIANA WHERE LIGHT WINDS AND CLEARING SKIES WITH WET GROUNDS WILL PROVIDE THE SET UP. && .LONG TERM...MINIMAL RAIN CHANCES DURING THE AFTERNOONS THIS WEEKEND WITH FAVORABLE SHORT WAVE ENERGY AND THETA RIDGING. A FEW STRAY SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE NEXT WEEK WITH RAIN CHANCES SOMEWHAT LESS THAN CLIMO AS WE COME UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A DYNAMIC RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES. A LIGHT FLOW OFF THE GULF SHOULD PROVIDE ENOUGH MOISTURE FOR AT LEAST NOCTURNAL SHOWERS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS AND POSSIBLY INLAND DURING THE MORNINGS. THE GFS CONTINUES TO PING ON TROPICAL ACTIVITY NEAR THE YUCATAN STRAITS. NO CONFIDENCE IN THIS AS THE REMAINDER OF THE MODELS DISAGREE AS DOES THE MEDIUM RANGE NCEP METS.
