12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 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. |

GMZ400 Synopsis For Lower Atchafalaya River La To High Island Tx Out 60 Nm Including Sabine And Calcasieu Lakes And Vermilion Bay 920 Pm Cst Fri Jan 17 2020
Synopsis.. Winds will veer back to the southeast tonight as a warm front moves north of the coastal waters. This will increase the sea fog potential again with areas of dense fog expected into Saturday until passage of a cold front during the afternoon. Strong offshore flow will develop in the wake of the front, with small craft advisory conditions possible Sunday into Monday.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lake Charles LA 1129 PM CST Fri Jan 17 2020
AVIATION.
Light SE/ESE will continue to usher low level moisture into the area resulting in ceilings lowering to IFR overnight and increasing shower activity. The increase low level moisture will also result in the potential for fog mainly between 10Z-14Z at KLCH/KBPT with TEMPO IFR visibility during this time. SE winds will shift to SW by 15Z ahead of an approaching front that will result in chances for showers and a few thunderstorms through the rest of the afternoon. Daytime mixing will result in ceilings improving to MVFR and eventually VFR by late afternoon. The front should begin to exit the area tomorrow evening resulting in N winds increasing to 10-15 knots.
PREV DISCUSSION. /issued 945 PM CST Fri Jan 17 2020/
DISCUSSION . Regional 88Ds show the bulk of the precip associated with the approaching shortwave/associated sfc cold front remains nw of the forecast area this evening . while a sporadic light shower or two has been noted over mainly the ern zones. Latest high res runs have handled this well and generally agree with inherited POP grids for the remainder of the night. Elsewhere, inherited grids/zones appear in good shape as is with no significant changes needed.
No update is planned at this time. 25
MARINE . No changes to the inherited Dense Fog Advisory for the near shore waters as latest high res runs indicate this trend will continue. Could see some dense fog in the outer waters, but not enough coverage or confidence at this time to extend the advisory at this time.

PREV DISCUSSION . /issued 337 PM CST Fri Jan 17 2020/
SYNOPSIS . Warm and muggy conditions along with the potential for dense marine fog will return tonight into early Saturday before a Canadian cold front moves through Saturday afternoon. Showers and a few storms will accompany the front, with much cooler and drier air behind the front. A light freeze along with some frost will be possible down to the I-10 corridor Monday night into Tuesday morning. Still uncertainty in the system for late next week. However, it will need to be monitored closely for the possibility of locally heavy rainfall.

DISCUSSION . A warm front is noted just offshore over the coastal waters this early afternoon. A short wave is moving across the Rockies with a surface low developing over east Colorado. As the surface low deepens and moves east with the short wave, southerly winds will increase across the region, forcing the warm front across the forecast area this evening and overnight.
Moisture increase and forcing from the nocturnal low level jet will allow for small, mainly light showers to develop during the night. Also, sea fog will form and try to move inland. Right now it looks like the winds above the surface along with some lift will keep the fog away from the coast more patchy in nature.
The short wave will continue to push eastward on Saturday and help push the tail end of a surface cold front across the forecast area during Saturday afternoon. Decent Gulf moisture is expected to be over the forecast area on Saturday ahead of the front, and this should allow for widespread shower to develop as frontal forcing increases, with best rain chances right along and behind the front. Instability and shear are not too impressive, therefore not expecting the convection to be too strong and not expecting any severe weather or excessive rainfall.
Surface high pressure from Canada will build down into the forecast area behind the front allowing for much cooler and drier conditions that will end rain chances and any fog for later Saturday night and Sunday.
Deeper northwest flow and surface high settling into the forecast area will bring some below normal temperatures into the early part of the week. Coldest temperatures look to be on Monday night into Tuesday morning, when a light freeze, along with frost, will be possible down to near the I-10 corridor.
Still some question on the next storm system that will begin to influence the region overnight Wednesday into Thursday. The GFS has the surface low developing over the Southern Plains placing the forecast area in the warm sector with rich Gulf moisture to bring about the possibility of locally heavy rainfall, especially late Thursday into early Friday. Meanwhile, the ECMWF, has a surface low hugging the coast, that keeps the true warm sector and highly anomalous moisture offshore. Still plenty of time to watch this, and at this point will stick close to the national blend of models.

MARINE . Southeast winds will return tonight behind a departing warm front that will bring back warm and moist air tonight. Looks like during the overnight dew point readings in the mid 60s will begin moving over cooler near shore water temperatures that will create the potential for sea fog development. Hi-res guidance does show a good swath of visibilities below 1 nm right along the coast out about 20 nm from shortly after 06Z (midnight) until near the time the cold front arrives early Saturday afternoon, with SREF probabilities greater than 75 percent. Therefore, issued a marine dense fog advisory for the near shore coastal waters along with the coastal lakes and bays.
The cold front will move across the coastal waters on Saturday afternoon. Much cooler air will then move out into the coastal waters, along with an increase in the pressure gradient over the northwest Gulf of Mexico. Therefore, north winds will become rather blustery and small craft advisory conditions will be likely from Saturday night into Monday.
