Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 605 PM CDT Sat Jun 10 2023 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Tonight through Monday night) Issued at 320 PM CDT Sat Jun 10 2023 Main concern in the short term period is what will be happening over next 6 to 12 hours with the potential for severe storms and/or heavy rainfall. A very moist and unstable air mass is in place over the forecast area. Most Unstable CAPE values are currently progged between 2500 and 3500 j/kg with favorable mid level lapse rates that a few thunderstorms that develop during max heating will have the chance to become severe from large hail and damaging down burst wind gusts. Weak shear and light storm motions initially will allow for some localized torrential downpours with some urban street type flood potential. A short wave moving out of the Southern Plains will also help push complexes of thunderstorms down into the forecast area. The first is currently in northeast Texas and northwest Louisiana, that will move through the central Louisiana portion of the forecast area through early evening. These storms will have also have the potential to produce severe weather with damaging winds and large hail. Another complex of storms is expected to develop near the DFW Metroplex and move toward the forecast area later this evening. CAMs have this potential complex arriving for southeast Texas around 10 pm, then moving southeast and slowly weakening into west central and southwest Louisiana through about 3 am. These storms again will have the potential to produce severe weather. An upper level ridge will begin to build into the forecast area on Sunday from the southwest. This should help to begin to decrease storm chances for most of the forecast area on Sunday. On Monday, a short wave moving around the ridge may affect enough of the northeastern portions of the forecast area for chances of showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon for that area. Away from any convection, conditions will be hot and humid during the daytime and muggy at night. Rua && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through next Friday) Issued at 320 PM CDT Sat Jun 10 2023 The longterm period starts off quiet but hot with a heating trend taking place through the middle and end of the work week. An upper low pressure system will be exiting off of the northeast coastline Tuesday and Wednesday with zonal flow located over the ArkLaTex region and surface high centered over the Florida Peninsula. The combination of these two semi-localized features should result in little convective activity and increasing daytime temperatures. Late Wednesday into Thursday, a quick moving shortwave pulse crosses to the north of the area. While it doesn't look to bring much relief to our area, this pulse looks to usher in ridging to the west and troughing to the east. Over the remainder of the longterm, shortwave perturbations working from ridge to trof may offer enough instability to generate a few afternoon showers and storms, bringing at least some relief in the form of cloud cover. Rain chances aside, the biggest concern over the forecast period is the heat. Conditions are ripe Tuesday and Wednesday for high temperatures to warm into the mid to upper 90s, with Thursday and Friday possibly seeing 100 F in much of the forecast area. Of course with these temperatures, the issue turns to the Heat Index. Forecast HI values Tuesday and Wednesday are 100 to 106F with Thursday and Friday potentially seeing 103 to 110 F. Now is the time to prepare for this summertime heat if you expect to be out and about. 11 && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 555 PM CDT Sat Jun 10 2023 Outside of terminals directly impacted by ongoing tstorms, VFR conditions are being reported. For some of the terminals right under a storm, heavy rainfall is causing reduced visibilities. This round will begin to taper out within the next few hours, however there is another round that is expected overnight. Strong convection is not expected during this time and confidence in storm development is low. At this time, carried VCSH for all save the Acadiana terminals. Stigger/87 && .MARINE... Issued at 320 PM CDT Sat Jun 10 2023 High pressure at the surface will ridge across the northern Gulf of Mexico during this period providing mainly light to, at times, moderate southerly winds. The winds will be stronger for the near shore and lakes and bays during the late afternoon with the sea breeze, and again during the overnight with any nocturnal marine jets. Showers and thunderstorms may move out into the coastal waters later tonight from the northwest. Otherwise, the chance for showers and thunderstorms will be decreasing over the period due to an upper level ridge building in. Rua && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
