Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 1251 PM CDT Mon Mar 30 2020

AVIATION. Satellite imagery showing widespread clouds over the forecast area early this afternoon generally within high-end MVFR into VFR. Increasing moisture and clouds incoming ahead of a cold frontal passage expected Tuesday morning. Looking for a few showers to dot the area this afternoon, with convective chances ramping up overnight along and ahead of boundary. Best lift will be at AEX in the vicinity of a retreating warm frontal boundary expected to stall across central Louisiana. Maintaining prevailing showers and a few thunderstorms at this terminal. All remaining terminals have covered with a four hour TEMPO group for showers and again a few thunderstorms. Bulk of rains should conclude by sunrise with skies clearing prior to noon in the wake of the front.

PREV DISCUSSION. /issued 1001 AM CDT Mon Mar 30 2020/

UPDATE . Warm front this morning is lingering just along the coast. Moisture has increased across the forecast area with PWAT value on the 30/12Z KLCH upper air sounding around 1.5 inches. A few showers are already showing up on radar, and as an upper level disturbance moves out of the southern Rockies, low level southerly flow will increase and lift the warm front across the forecast area this afternoon. Frontal lift and increasing moisture will allow for an increase in shower activity, especially by mid to late afternoon. At this point, stronger activity looks to stay northwest and north of the forecast area through the afternoon. Made some minor modifications to the pop and weather grid based on radar trends and latest CAMs.

PREV DISCUSSION . /issued 703 AM CDT Mon Mar 30 2020/

DISCUSSION . For 12z TAF issuance.

AVIATION . Fairly quiet across the area this morning with mainly mid and high clouds blanketing the region . expect VFR conditions to continue through the afternoon. Could be a few showers beginning later this morning, but particularly this afternoon as we head into max heating. Also expect some elevated srly/serly winds this afternoon as stronger flow aloft mixes down. Rain chances pick up with thunder very possible as we heading into the evening and overnight hours as a strong shortwave approaches from the west . expect ceilings to gradually lower through tonight as well, likely reaching MVFR levels prior to period's end.

PREV DISCUSSION . /issued 328 AM CDT Mon Mar 30 2020/

DISCUSSION . A frontal boundary has stalled off the upper Texas and Southwest Louisiana coast and stretches from South Texas to the Mouth of the Mississippi to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. An upper disturbance is pushing through the SW states.

Today the currently stalled front will lift north reaching the coast this morning and the lakes and CenLA by afternoon. The warm and moist air mass that was pushed out a day ago will lift back north from the gulf. The disturbance over the SW states will move into the Southern Plains where a surface low will develop. The system will quickly move east and cross the Lower Mississippi Valley by early Tuesday. This will swing another cold front through the region with scattered to numerous showers and some thunderstorms possible. Cape looks limited at this time, however shear looks sufficient to produce an organized storm or two tonight, but mainly well inland and closest to the area of low pressure.

Rain will quickly exit Tuesday morning with near normal temperatures expected Wednesday and Thursday while high pressure slips by.

The ridge will move east of the area by Thursday afternoon and low pressure will develop in the plains. This will start the return flow ahead of the next system that will affect the area late Friday into this weekend.

MARINE . A warm front will lift north this morning with a onshore flow returning. Another cold front will sweep off the coast early Tuesday with a moderate west flow behind the boundary. Winds will veer north then east Tuesday into Wednesday as high pressure moves by. The onshore flow will return Thursday.

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.
