While visibility restrictions will likely not occur at all terminals, opted to include restrictions at all sites to highlight the potential. Any fog that does develop will dissipate by 14z. Scattered to numerous convection will develop once again by late morning impacting terminals periodically through the mid evening before dissipating around sunset. These storms will have the potential to produce periods of visibility restricting heavy rainfall, frequent lightning and gusty winds. Jones Prev discussion issued 917 pm cdt Tue aug 20 2019 update... convection has diminished across the forecast area with the loss of daytime heating. Still a very moist air mass in place with latest pwat value from the 21 00z klch upper air sounding at 2.16 inches. Therefore, as is typical with a moist air mass in the summertime, expect nocturnal showers to develop during the overnight over the gulf and try to push inland during the pre-dawn hours into the coastal parishes and counties. Current forecast has this scenario and no significant changes needed at this time. Rua prev discussion... Issued 340 pm cdt Tue aug 20 2019 discussion... the main story today, as expected, is the rainfall. Local 88ds show numerous diurnal outflow-driven showers and storms across mainly the SRN 1 2 of the area. The klch ASOS shows nearly 4 inches of rain at the time, while local mesonet stations around the lake area show plenty of 2-4 inch totals, much of which has |
fallen in the past 30-45 minutes. Away from the rain, sfc obs were showing temps in the lower mid 90s with heat index values in exceeding 100f. Pretty much a persistence forecast this afternoon. In the near term, expect scattered numerous convection to linger through the remainder of the afternoon before dissipating with sunset loss of heating. All guidance is again showing nocturnal maritime convection prior to sunrise with some of this activity moving ashore into the coastal zones and lower acadiana. With the area remaining in a relative weakness aloft, expect more scattered numerous showers storms to develop tomorrow with heating boundary interactions. High temps will be tempered a bit by the cloud cover precip, but heat index values could approach 105f or so by the noon hour before convection becomes more widespread. Essentially rinse and repeat for Thursday. Rain chances increase even further for Friday and the weekend as the models have come into good agreement on a mid-level low rounding the WRN gulf before moving ashore somewhere across sern tx swrn or s-cntl la, combining with copious gulf moisture remaining in place (forecast soundings show pwat values around 2.3 inches). With lower pressures lingering aloft, even behind the departing low, elevated rain chances remain into early next week. Marine... a mostly light onshore flow is expected to continue through the forecast period with the bermuda high generally in control.

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. |
