AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service New Orleans LA 341 AM CDT Thu Oct 1 2020 DISCUSSION. An upper level trough currently encompasses almost the entire country east of the Rockies. FL and west TX are the only ones generally outside the troughing. Closer to the center of that trough around the Great Lake region, a shortwave rotating through the apex will dive southward. This will take place today with the southernmost portion of that shortwave reaching the Appalachian Mountains tonight. The result of this will be a reinforcing cold front swing through the CWA late this afternoon and evening. No precip on the boundary due to lack of moisture return. Increasing northerly winds will probably reach southwest Mississippi to I-12 area around midday with the actual cold front/airmass change 3 to 6 hours behind it. Before this happens, expect moderating temperatures today with highs in the mid 80s. There is some potential for a small temp forecast bust with compressional warming possible. That means someone may even see 90 degrees today. However, only went a couple degrees above guidance so to not be too much out of agreement with surrounding offices.

Strong surface high pressure will build in from the north Friday through most of the weekend. Persistent cold air advection will be keeping temps 5 to 10 degrees below normal each day. Saturday is looking like the coldest with morning lows in the 50s and highs in the mid to upper 80s.

The remainder of the forecast still looking dry for the most part as the trough lifts out and the upper ridge to the west builds in across Texas and Louisiana as the week progresses.

From a tropical standpoint, there are a couple waves that may develop in the western Caribbean this weekend and early next week. Based on the forecasted upper level pattern, the CWA will be protected by the trough this weekend and ridge next week. Still bears watching.

MEFFER

AVIATION. A very dry and stable airmass will continue to dominate the Gulf South. VFR conditions are forecast at all of the terminals. A cold front is expected to move across the terminals between 00z and 06z, and northerly flow should increase to around 10 knots with gusts to 20 knots at KNEW and KMSY.

PG

MARINE. An upper level trough digging southward from the Great Lakes to the Appalachian Mountains today will send a cold front through the coastal waters this evening and tonight. Model boundary layer winds peak around 20-25kts 03z-09z. They then fall below 20 knots after 15z. An exercise caution headline will probably be needed the rest of Friday and possibly through the rest of the weekend as cold air advection persists. Models generally show offshore flow continuing most of next week with troughing in place over the eastern half of the country. The strength of that flow will be dependent on if a tropical system develops in the southern GOM or not.

In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
