Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New Orleans LA 342 PM CST Thu Feb 20 2020

DISCUSSION. A wet and dreary day across the area. The rain should start to wind down over the next few hours as the main shield of rain shifts to the east. A few lingering showers will be possible overnight. The biggest issue in the short term will be the possibility of high winds over the southshore tonight behind the cold front. Winds gusts up to 35 mph will be possible tonight over the southshore . with this in mind have issued a Wind Advisory for portions of the area for tonight in anticipation of these strong wind gusts. The next story will be the late winter Arctic airmass that will settle in behind the front. Temperatures will be well below normal tonight and tomorrow. We will have areas over the next two nights be at or below freezing. Will have to monitor these temperatures for the possibility of issuing a Freeze Warning. Either way it will be much cooler for Friday and Saturday. A warming trend will begin on Sunday ahead of an upper level trough digging through the Plains on Sunday. Rain chances will increase by Sunday night and Monday as a result with a few strong storms possible in the northern most zones during this period. Guidance improves the forecast some on Tuesday as new runs suggest that the front pushes through the area for Tuesday morning. Will have to continue to monitor trends for outdoor activities on Tuesday.

AVIATION. Expect MVFR to IFR conditions for the evening hours as the front continues to trigger showers and low cigs. As the front moves through expect winds to significantly increase late tonight and last through the morning hours. Expect an improvement to VFR conditions late in the TAF period.

MARINE. Winds will increase to upwards of 25 knots with frequent gusts of 35 to 40 knots possible across the coastal waters tonight. A Gale Warning across all the coastal waters until 12Z Friday morning. Winds should begin to wane in the near shore waters and the tidal lakes by then but the remainder of the inner and outer coastal waters will remain under the gale warning until 18Z. The next cold front will begin to cause a rise in SE winds by Monday with the front possibly moving through late Monday but there are differences as we get farther out in time.

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.
