AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service New Orleans LA 322 PM CDT Fri Sep 25 2020

SHORT TERM. Very dry airmass remains in place across the CWA with weak surface building in from the the north. This morning's sounding showed a very dry column above 750mb with just a very shallow layer of moisture to support clouds. Closer to the coast, that moist layer appears to be slightly thicker. A stray shower or 2 will be possible but not enough coverage to justify any mention of POPs in the forecast. That thinking carries over into Saturday but with coverage bumping up into the 20% category as higher PW region over the GOM creeps northward. Thus have a smaller portion of showers generally south of I10 in LA. From a temp perspective, highs will be moderating back into the mid to upper 80s. The absolute high's in the forecast are actually still right at to just below normal. NBM may be too cold and may need to increase them above this guidance.

The surface ridge to the north will slide east on Sunday. This will allow winds to shift around to the south and thus should see dewpoints rising back up into the 70s. If you take that at face value, you'd think rain chances will certainly come up as well. If the GFS is right, that moisture increase will only be at the surface as dry air will be moving in aloft. It suggests PW's less than 1". That environment will not support convection. With ECMWF not showing precip for most of the CWA, went below NBM POP's and not showing rain in the forecast for Sunday. Temps should be normal in the upper 80s.

LONG TERM. The first REAL cold front looks to be coming through the forecast area Monday evening/night. Neither the GFS nor the ECMWF show a particularly sharp upper level trough, but rather one splitting into 2 section by Tuesday. Looking at the upper level soundings, there appears to be a small window of opportunity for severe storms right along the frontal boundary. It looks like a high CAPE - low shear environment. From a climatology perspective, we may have a fair chance to see hail and tornadoes. It's still several days out, so we'll need to watch for the potential for an over achieving event.

After FROPA, the local area will see outstanding weather with lows in the 50s and highs in the 70s. While you're enjoying that great weather, remember that hurricane season isn't close to be over and fronts that stall in the Gulf of Mexico sometimes eventually develop into tropical systems.

MEFFER

AVIATION. MVFR and VFR ceilings are expected to continue through the evening. Brief period of IFR ceilings associated with fog is forecast for MCB Saturday morning and then MVFR and VFR conditions will resume through the period./TDB/

MARINE. Winds have been light today and should continue through the evening and weekend. Cold front is forecast to move through the coastal waters this weekend and a reinforcing front by middle of next week. We will see winds increase to moderate levels as soon as Monday due to cold air advection as the second front moves offshore. /TDB/
