Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 423 PM CST Mon Mar 1 2021

SYNOPSIS. Cooler air has begun filtering into the region behind a cold front that is now moving off the coast. Temperatures at the start of the shift this morning were in the lower 60s north to middle 70s south, and acrs Acadiana reached the lower 80s by midday. With the passage of the front, temperatures quickly fell, and currently range from the middle 50s north to lower 60s south, with the exception of lower Acadiana where temps are in the middle 60s to near 70. Cold air advection has been enhanced by gusty north winds, and these should persist into the evening. Several obs sites acrs the southern zones have reported winds between 18 and 22 KT (20-25 MPH), so issued a Wind Advisory for locations along and south of I-10 through 02Z.

The latest UA analysis and WV imagery shows low pres centered over W TX, moving slowly east. Considerable moisture continues to advect over the region amidst strong southwesterly flow aloft, providing for an overrunning scenario over the cool shallow post- frontal airmass. Other than some patches of light rain, much of the shower activity has diminished this aftn with the southward progression of the front.

24

DISCUSSION. The upper low over W TX will continue to move east tonight into Tuesday, helping to generate sfc low pres along the frontal boundary over the W Gulf. The combination of these features will provide enough forcing to support increasing rain chcs tonight, with limited but sufficient instability for an isolated tstm or two as well. PoPs will decrease from west to east during the day Tuesday as the upper trough axis slides east and drier air spreads into the region.

With the passage of the front, temperatures are expected to fall back to near or slightly below seasonal values for the next few days. Lows tonight will be in the middle 40s to around 50, with highs on Tuesday limited to the 50s acrs much of the area thanks to ongoing cold air advection and cloud cover. As cool high pres settles over the area, overnight lows will fall back into the upper 30s to lower 40s for both Wednesday and Thursday mornings, with highs near normal on Wednesday and slightly warmer on Thursday. Dry weather will prevail during this timeframe.

A disturbance will dive southeast on Friday, ushering another front through the area Friday night into Saturday. Moisture return ahead of this system should be enough to support at least chc PoPs Friday into Friday night, with rain chcs tapering off early Saturday with the quick passage of the shortwave aloft. High pres is then expected to build over the region during the weekend, bringing dry weather and mild temperatures Saturday and Sunday.

24

MARINE. A few patches of dense marine fog may linger over the outer coastal waters through early evening until passage of a cold front. Otherwise, strengthening northeast winds will develop and persist overnight, along with building seas. Exercise caution can be expected over the coastal lakes and bays as well as the nearshore waters out to 20 NM, with a Small Craft Advisory for the outer waters.

A few showers or thunderstorms will be possible overnight as low pressure develops along the front. The low will move east on Tuesday, with showers ending and winds shifting northwesterly. A period of exercise caution to advisory level winds and seas will be possible Tuesday into Tuesday night before diminishing as high pressure builds into the area.
