Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New Orleans LA 311 PM CDT Sat Jul 4 2020

SHORT TERM. Tonight through Monday . convection from this afternoon will continue into the evening . models hint at some westward and southerly propagation along the outflows into the New Orleans Metro and towards Baton Rouge by late afternoon/early evening. After loss of heating as we approach sunset would likely see the convection start to wane across the area. Inside any thunderstorms may be very heavy rainfall with slow moving storms and PWATS at or just over 2 inches . rainfall rates of 4-5inches per hour are being seen at this time along with 25-30kt wind gusts.

Frontal boundary and weak low will remain near the region through the short term period with mainly more diurnally driven convection each day . some lingering showers and isolated thunderstorms possible overnight but smaller chances for sure..may have overdone chances for rainfall overnight. Evening crew can follow radar and mesoanalysis trends to adjust if so tonight . possible tomorrow night and Monday night as well as no real indication of significant driver of the convection but daytime heating even with the boundary in place. Overall, high forecast certainty for storms during the afternoon and evening . much lesser certainty for late night into early morning. Afternoon high temps a bit lower than seasonal due to the cloud cover, overnight lows may be a bit higher because of the same cloud cover from daytime storms. ABS

LONG TERM. Tuesday through Saturday . Frontal boundary remains to start the long term portion of the forecast before some indication that upper level ridging to the west and south pushes the boundary and the weak low out of the area mid week into Thursday. Mostly diurnally driven storms and showers with locally heavy rainfall Tuesday and Wednesday. Drying out Thursday into the weekend for the most part . some uncertainty exists exactly how the ridge sets up and that can have a huge role in precip chances late next week into the weekend. If the ridge is slightly further west and/or north then we could see "ring of fire" storm development as easterly flow pushes moist gulf air into the region . if the ridge moves a bit further east then it could stifle any chance for storms and temps could become quite hot into the middle 90s at least by Friday or Saturday and into the weekend. Alot at play for the far end of the extended forecast. ABS

AVIATION. 18Z TAFS . VFR conditions will dominate the period . but with convection developing this afternoon and continuing into the evening will look for possible tempo periods of MVFR and IFR at most sites. Have used VCTS with CB for now to show this potential and will watch radar trends for updates to TAFs across the area. Light winds will continue through the period outside of the storms . with the possibility of minor drops in visibility to 5-6sm in the early morning hours. Didn't fully embrace that in TAFs as some of that I believe is predicated on how much rainfall occurs today/tonight and if clearing of the skies can occur. ABS

MARINE.

Winds will be light (<15 knots) and westerly through Monday morning. Monday evening through Friday morning, winds will be light (<15 knots) and southwesterly to southerly. Friday evening through Saturday, winds will be light (<15 knots) and westerly. Wave heights will correspond with the wind speeds. MSW

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data.

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