DISCUSSION. 00Z Taf issuance.

AVIATION. Radar showing intermittent light rain continuing over the region, and likely to remain for the remainder of the evening across all sites. MVFR to IFR ceilings will prevail this evening and overnight through daybreak, with clearing around 15-16z Wednesday. North- northwest winds around 16-18 kts with gusts 25-30 kts expected for the next couple of hours, especially over LFT/ARA terminals. Winds will relax a bit this evening, but expected to stay around 12-15 kts overnight into Wednesday.

PREV DISCUSSION. /issued 314 PM CST Tue Dec 10 2019/

DISCUSSION .

Short Term [This evening through Friday]

This afternoon's radar imagery shows showers extending from southeast Texas northeastward into northern and central Louisiana along a region of isentropic ascent behind the surface cold front. This region of isentropic ascent is forecast to gradually shift east-southeastward through this evening. The steadiest rainfall is expected to continue through late this evening before gradually ending after midnight as the best support for ascent progresses east of the CWA. Meanwhile, cold air advection will continue through the overnight and contribute to temperatures falling into the 30s/low 40s by sunrise.

High pressure will build into the region during the day Wednesday and contribute to decreasing northeasterly winds. The high pressure will result in clear skies which combined with insolation which help counteract the continuing weak cold air advection and result in temperatures climbing into the mid to upper 50s.

A weak shortwave trough is forecast to move across the Lower Mississippi River Valley from Thursday into Friday. This will support at least a slight chance for showers to develop, mainly across southeastern Louisiana, from Thursday afternoon into Friday. Otherwise, skies will be partly to mostly cloudy and temperatures will climb into the 60s.

Long Term [Saturday through Tuesday]

Longer range model guidance is in good agreement that predominately northwesterly to westerly flow aloft will be in place over the northern Gulf Coast from Saturday through late Sunday. This will result in dry conditions and above normal temperatures with highs in the upper 60s/low 70s during the weekend. The next upper level trough is forecast to approach the region on Monday and result in chances for showers and possibly thunderstorms as well. The trough axis is expected to shift east of the region on Tuesday and upper level subsidence combined with surface high pressure building into the region should result in dry conditions and cooler temperatures during the middle part of next week.

MARINE .

Strong offshore winds of 20-30 knots with frequent gusts above gale force will continue through the overnight hours over the coastal waters. This offshore flow will result in below normal water levels along the inland lakes and bays, particularly during low tide Wednesday. P-ETSS guidance, which has been accurate thus far throughout the event, has the lowest water levels only getting down to -0.5 ft MLLW. Therefore, no Low Water Advisories are expected to be needed at this time.

Winds are expected to begin gradually decreasing near sunrise but will remain above 20 knots across most of the coastal waters through the day on Wednesday into Wednesday night. Therefore, Small Craft Advisories will be needed for the coastal waters during the day tomorrow. However, in order to keep the messaging in the marine hazard products simple, the current marine hazards were left unchanged during this forecast package.

Winds and seas are expected to improve late Wednesday into Thursday morning as the pressure gradient decreases over the coastal waters. Fair navigating conditions and light winds will persist into the weekend before the next low pressure system approaches the coastal waters on Monday. Another period of strong offshore flow is possible behind this system during the early to middle part of next week.

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