AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service New Orleans LA 348 AM CST Sat Dec 7 2019

SHORT TERM. The shallow shortwave that moved through the region yesterday is quickly racing east. It does look like clouds will hang in the area for most of the day. This combined with weak cold air advection should keep temps on the cool side today. Went just below MAV guidance for highs. For precip, a few lingering offshore showers will be possible. Sunday will bring a continuation of Saturday, albeit slightly warmer. Could once again see a few lingering showers in the coastal waters as weak surface low could develop in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico.

LONG TERM. A much more amplified upper level trough will move into the midsection of the country Monday, before lifting northeast Wednesday. It will start out as 2 separate troughs, one coming out of Canada and another racing through the Desert Southwest. They will merge Tuesday, spanning across the entire eastern half of the country. A cold front associated with this feature will move through the forecast area Tuesday morning. Expecting showers ahead of, along, and post frontal. Event qpf amounts suggested by medium range models are higher than previous forecasts, but still on the relatively low side at less than an inch. POP forecast is generally a blend of those 2 models, peaking at basically 100% Tuesday. The rain should quickly exit Wednesday as the apex of the trough passes east of the region.

Below normal temperatures will dominate the rest of the week and into the weekend as the CWA generally remains under upper level trough at varying degrees. While Thursday won't see rain, models have been showing the potential for a Gulf low to develop as a southern stream trough tracks across south Texas and into the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. At the least, this would provide moderate amounts of rain over the local area.

MEFFER

AVIATION. Ceilings will slowly rise today from OVC010 to OVC020-030 today and remain that way even into Sunday. No other issues expected.

MARINE. A few locations showing fog this morning will begin to lift this morning as northerly winds rise over the nearshore waters. Winds will remain northerly around 10-15kt through today then become light and variable once again Sunday before abruptly becoming south Sunday night around 15-20kt. These conditions should hold into Monday night as another cold front approaches. Strong northerly winds and widespread showers will develop and remain through the day Tuesday evening. These conditions will be pressed south into the central gulf Wednesday night, but will rapidly move back into the area for the end of next week.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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.
