Many thanks to a user for reporting an error on one of the Edit pages. The switch to PHP 7.2 caused many pages that previously worked to quit working.

This strong cold front will sweep through the central gulf coast coastal waters Monday night. High pressure will build in behind this front on Tuesday and move over the gulf coast region late Wednesday into Thursday.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New Orleans LA 456 PM CST Sat Dec 14 2019
SHORT TERM (Tonight through Tuesday).
Surface high pressure that has been centered over the forecast area will continue to move east across the southeast U.S. tonight and Sunday as low pressure and a strong cold front advances east and southeast across the Red River valley and Texas. The mostly clear skies over most land areas going into this evening and near calm to light southeast winds should set the stage for strong radiational cooling and near surface saturation to produce patchy fog by midnight. Conditions then remain fairly favorable for additional fog formation after midnight and blended guidance suggest visibilities will lower to near one quarter mile over areas generally east of I-55 and south of Lake Pontchartrain to coastal areas where a Dense Fog Advisory has been issued. Stronger southerly winds by mid morning are expected to mix out the fog and most low level clouds faster than today. This will lead to a partly sunny and rather warm and dry day with highs reaching the mid to upper 70s, except for lower 70s near the coast.
Rain chances will return from the northwest last Sunday night as a broad and potent, positively tilted shortwave trough moves east out of the southern Rockies into the Plains with the associated cold front advancing southeast into the ArkLaTex region. The strong cold front will continue to advance southeast towards the northwest portion of the forecast area last Monday and through the forecast area Monday night as the shortwave trough advances east through the Plains and mid Mississippi valley. As mentioned in previous discussions and SPC, the speed shear will be rather impressive with moderate instability also expected in the afternoon. The limiting factor for organized severe thunderstorms will be the limited forcing with the elongated shortwave trough and surface low pressure system passing well north of the deep South. However, the current marginal risk near the coast and slight risk over the more inland areas appears on track given the pattern. Greatest risk time locally will be Monday afternoon and evening with the main threat being strong, possibly damaging wind gusts, a few tornadoes and some hail. Have high rain chances since coverage should be fairly widespread during the frontal passage time, then rain chances will decrease fairly quickly late Monday night and Tuesday as the front moves offshore. This will usher in much colder air and brisk north winds for Monday night and Tuesday.
LONG TERM (Wednesday through Sunday).
The cold airmass will settle over the central Gulf coast region from Tuesday night through Thursday, and clear skies should allow for a light freeze over the northern/inland areas Tuesday night and Wednesday night.
Another potent shortwave trough with a closed low is forecast by both the operational 12z GFS and ECMWF to move east then southeast across the southern Plains then central to eastern Gulf coast region during the Thursday night to Saturday night period. This system is only expected to bring isolated to scattered showers and patchy rain at this time since moisture recovery will be rather limited in the wake of the strong frontal passage Monday night.
AVIATION.
It took some time, but a scattering out to clearing of the clouds occurred today in most land areas with KGPT close to being on the western edge of an MVFR category cloud line. The clearing and light southeast wind flow will likely set the stage for additional low stratus and areas of fog to develop overnight into early Sunday morning. Have MVFR to IFR category conditions starting in the 05-09z period with LIFR and lower conditions expected in the 08-14z period at most TAF airports. Faster improvement back to MVFR and VFR is expected Sunday morning due to better mixing with stronger southerly winds that are expected.
MARINE.
Pressure gradient will increase over the marine area as high pressure moves east and low pressure and a strong cold front advances east to southeast across the southern Plains. This will cause an increase in southerly winds to moderate levels (near 15 knots at times) overnight tonight through Monday evening. Lighter winds near the tidal lakes and some coastal areas should allow another round of lake fog which will likely lower visibility to less than one mile. Issued Marine Dense Fog Advisory from 11 am tonight through 9 am Sunday across the tidal lakes, and that may need to be expanded to some other sounds and nearshore waters later this evening.
The strong cold front will sweep through the coastal waters late Monday night. Strong high pressure with much colder air will build in behind this front on Tuesday and remain in place through Wednesday. This post- frontal period will need Small Craft Advisory headlines for strong offshore winds and rough seas.
