10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. 6/2/2019. 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. I fixed many but I still depend on users to report ones I missed. Please report errors HERE or send an email to me at L-36.com. Allen |

GMZ400 Synopsis For Lower Atchafalaya River La To High Island Tx Out 60 Nm Including Sabine And Calcasieu Lakes And Vermilion Bay 429 Am Cdt Wed Oct 16 2019
Synopsis.. A cold front will move through the area this morning. Scattered to numerous showers and Thunderstorms will accompany the cold frontal passage, with moderate to strong offshore flow expected to develop in its wake this afternoon. Winds will diminish on Thursday, with northeasterly flow expected to persist as an area of low pressure develops over the western gulf by Friday. The low pressure area will bring increased chances of showers and Thunderstorms through the end of the week.

Area Discussion for - Lake Charles, LA
(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus64 klch 161030 afdlch area forecast discussion national weather service lake charles la 530 am cdt Wed oct 16 2019 Synopsis Sfc cold front continues to approach the area, extending from near monroe to brenham as of 5 am. The latest ua analysis and wv imagery shows convective activity occurring within an active subtropical jet streaming along and ahead of a shortwave trough over western tx. Further northeast, an area of low pres was crossing the great lakes, with a trough axis extending south over the ms valley. The combination of shortwave energy overriding the frontal boundary allowed a quasi linear band of storms to evolve acrs southwest la earlier this morning. Vad wind profiles from klch and kpoe radars showed modest low level shear which also supported the potential for stronger storms. A few reports of damage have been reported due to strong winds within these storms. This band continues to move east acrs acadiana at the present time, while area radars show additional showers and storms forming just ahead of the front acrs SW la and SE tx. 24 Discussion The cold front will progress toward the coast this morning as the upper trough over the great lakes digs over the eastern conus. Numerous to widespread showers and a few tstms can be expected as the front moves through, although storms are not expected to be quite as intense as the qlcs band that moved through during the overnight early morning period. High pres will build over the area behind the front, bringing drier midlevel air over the region. Showers will taper off from north to south by midday or early aftn. However, cloud cover is expected to linger before decreasing some tonight. Cooler temperatures will follow in the wake of the front today, likely peaking in the lower to middle 70s this morning then falling during the aftn. Quiet weather is expected for tonight into Thursday as sfc high pres crosses the region. Overnight lows will be comparable to the last frontal passage late last week, with temperatures ranging from the upper 40s acrs cntl la to middle 50s along the i-10 corridor. Temperatures are expected to only warm into the lower 70s on Thursday under partly to mostly cloudy skies. Quasi-zonal flow will persist over the region, in advance of the shortwave trough over tx. At the sfc, the frontal boundary will become oriented east to west, stalling over the northern gulf. By Friday, a tropical wave drifting over the bay of campeche and is expected to form into a closed low over the western gulf. The low will bring a surge of deep tropical moisture northward, with showers and tstms developing and bcmg widespread over the western gulf. The bulk of the activity is expected to stay offshore, but some small rain chcs could spread into southern portions of the area during the day Friday. The low is being monitored by the national hurricane center for possible tropical or subtropical development over the next 2 to 5 days, and the latest tropical weather outlook has a 40 percent |
chance of development over the next 5 days. The tx shortwave sliding east toward the NW gulf coast will aid in lifting the low pres area northward, and it will eventually merge with the stalled frontal boundary. By Saturday, the system will then move toward the northeast along the front and in concert with the weakening shortwave. There are still some discrepancies regarding timing track, although global models seem to be converging on a solution that takes the track east of the area, and this should minimize any significant impacts to the area. In general, expect some low rain chcs to spread acrs the area during the weekend. The system is expected to be well east of the area by Sunday, with winds bcmg southerly as low pres develops over the southern plains ahead of a strong upper level trough moving over the rockies. This trough will move into the cntl us on Monday, sending another cold front into the area. Moisture return ahead of the system should be sufficient to produce sctd showers and storms during the day Monday, with the front expected to sweep through the area late in the day. Rain will come to an end by Monday night, with cool and dry conditions expected on Tuesday. 24 Marine A cold front will move through the area this morning. Sctd to nmrs showers and tstms will accompany the cold frontal passage, with moderate to strong offshore flow expected to develop in its wake this aftn. Exercise caution has been hoisted for late this aftn into tonight with winds strengthening to 15 to 20 kt. Winds will diminish on Thursday, with northeasterly flow expected to persist as an area of low pres develops over the western gulf by Friday. The low pressure area will bring increased chances of showers and thunderstorms through the end of the week. The latest tropical weather outlook by NHC has a 40 percent chc of tropical or subtropical development of this system over the next 5 days. The latest model guidance suggest this low will move northeast toward the north cntl or NE gulf through the end of the week. This would place the area on the western side of the system, reducing the potential for any significant impacts. However, a period of elevated winds and seas will be possible Friday night into Saturday as the low moves toward the northeast. 24 Preliminary point temps pops Aex 71 47 71 49 30 0 0 0 lch 76 55 71 58 70 0 10 10 lft 77 54 72 58 90 0 10 10 bpt 76 56 71 59 80 10 10 10 Lch watches warnings advisories La...

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. |
