Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New Orleans LA 638 PM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025
New AVIATION
SHORT TERM
(Tonight through Monday Night)
Issued at 1235 PM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025
Active weather pattern will continue to start the work week as weak troughing aloft persists. Surface high pressure is still centered over the western Atlantic with the western periphery stretching into the north-central Gulf. This will maintain onshore flow in the low levels, bringing ample Gulf moisture into the local area.
With an abundance of moisture and a relatively unstable air mass in place, the only thing needed to fire off convection is a trigger - which will again come in the form of daytime heating.
That being said, expect a fairly typical dirunal pattern to the convective activity, with showers and storms tapering off this evening, remaining generally quiet overnight, and popping back up during the mid to late morning hours with a peak during the afternoon.
As has been the case the last several days, some of the stronger storms will be capable of producing gusty winds, frequent lightning and heavy rainfall.
Afternoon temperatures will continue to be near normal, with warmer than normal overnight temperatures owing to the humid airmass which will inhibit radiational cooling.
LONG TERM
(Tuesday through Saturday Night)
Issued at 1235 PM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025
With no significant changes in the pattern, expect higher than normal rain chances to continue through midweek as upper troughing continues to lead to instability across the region. Upper trough axis finally starts to flatten out and lift northeastward midweek, with weak upper ridging building into the area by Friday and Saturday.
NBM continues to carry higher POPs even into the weekend, and this appears unrealistic given the expectation of upper ridging building in. This is likely a result of bias correction not accounting for the pattern change. That being said, have once again lowered POPs during the Friday/Saturday time frame and am generally carrying 40-60% POPs compared to the NBM's 70% plus.
Additional adjustments may be necessary given the current forecast is still above both the GFS and Euro ensemble means and is even above the 90th percentile in the ECMWF ensemble.
AVIATION
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 633 PM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025
Current VFR conditions will prevail through the period with generally light southerly/southwesterly winds. MCB has chance for brief period of fog with VIS to 4SM and CIG at 3000 ft for several hours beginning 10Z. Showers begin to build toward the end of the period around 18Z and convection intensifies to TSRA with afternoon heating.
MARINE
Issued at 1235 PM CDT Sun Jun 15 2025
High pressure centered east of the local area will keep onshore flow in place through the period, generally 15 kts or lighter.
Expect to see daily showers and storms, with higher winds and seas in the vicinity of this activity.
