Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 715 PM CDT Thu Aug 6 2020

DISCUSSION. For the 08/07/20 0000 UTC TAF package.

AVIATION. VFR prevailing all sites amid a mostly clear sky and generally light SFC winds. A few showers continue across parts of SW LA, but these are not expected to impact any terminal and should dissipate over the next couple of hours. VFR to prevail through the overnight period and through the day FRI as prospects of daytime shower and thunderstorm activity remain relatively limited.

PREV DISCUSSION. /issued 413 PM CDT Thu Aug 6 2020/

SYNOPSIS . Convection today has been much less than the past few days, although some widely sctd showers and storms have developed acrs lower SE TX and SW LA, mainly south of I-10 where a seabreeze boundary has been attempting to organize. Otherwise, amidst partly to mostly cloudy skies, temperatures are in the upper 80s/around 90.

Latest UA analysis and WV imagery shows ridging building acrs the Rio Grande Valley into TX, with a lingering trough/shear axis acrs just east of the lower MS Valley. A weak shortwave sliding south over the area is providing additional support to convection acrs SW LA and SE TX.

24

DISCUSSION . Convection this aftn should dissipate by early this evening as daytime heating wanes. Ridging aloft will build in from the west tonight, while a wedge of drier air in the mid levels acrs TN/N MS spreads southwestward into the region. PWATs will diminish to between 1.3 to 1.6 inches on Friday (near normal for this time of year). While convective coverage should be even less on Friday, CAM guidance suggests some sctd showers and storms will be possible mainly acrs SE TX. With moisture a little better in this area, along with minimal capping, would not be surprised to see some convection develop again during the aftn so inserted some low-ish PoPs (no more than 30 percent) here.

Meanwhile, whatever is left of the diffuse frontal boundary that has been over the region the past several days will begin to lift north as it gradually dissipates, with onshore flow bcmg established as the Bermuda high ridges into the Gulf of Mexico. A return to low end chc PoPs is expected on Saturday, with the best chcs acrs the lower Atchafalaya Basin and lower Acadiana.

By Sunday, a weakness will develop over the northern Gulf between the ridge acrs the southern plains and subtropical ridging over the western Atlantic. This weakness will gradually migrate west through the early part of next week as the ridge acrs TX begins to retrograde. The result will be a return to a more typical summertime pattern of diurnally influenced convection, with a gradual increase in coverage each day.

No significant fluctuation in temperatures is expected through the period. Daytime highs will be mostly in the lower to middle 90s, with overnight lows in the 70s, close to August climatological normals.

24

MARINE . Light and somewhat vrbl winds will persist through early Friday, with onshore flow developing Friday aftnn and continuing through next week. Winds will remain around 10 KT or less, with seas of 1 to 2 feet, so no advisory or caution flags are anticipated. Showers and tstms will remain limited tonight into Friday, with a return to more seasonal sctd convection over the weekend and into early next week.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
