Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New Orleans LA 414 PM CST Fri Jan 24 2020

SHORT TERM (Tonight through Monday).

A broad area of surface high pressure will move east and settle over the central Gulf coast region later tonight into Saturday before moving east Saturday night into Sunday. The clear/sunny skies that we were greeted with today are expected to persist through midday Saturday before a gradual increase in clouds Saturday afternoon and evening. This increase in clouds will also bring a return of showers starting mostly after midnight Saturday night and especially on Sunday as a potent shortwave trough moves across the lower Mississippi valley. An associated surface low pressure area will move across the north central Gulf Sunday afternoon and Sunday night, so any thunderstorms should remain well offshore. The clouds and rain will likely keep the highs in mid to upper 50s to around 60 on Sunday. Drier, but not cooler air will return Sunday night into Monday with partly sunny skies and mild high temperatures in low to mid 60s on Monday.

LONG TERM (Tuesday through Friday).

The next shortwave trough and an associated surface low pressure system will move through Tuesday afternoon through early Wednesday. The 12z GFS moves a surface low closer to the coast while the ECMWF moves a low further offshore like the Sunday system. Fairly widespread showers are expected with isolated thunderstorms possible in mainly coastal and offshore areas depending on the track of the surface low. High pressure is expected to stay better established farther north for just fringe affects over the forecast area Thursday, with warm frontogenesis taking place in the west Gulf Thursday night. This will bring the next period of unsettled weather as southern branch becomes activated with a series of impulses traversing the area late in the week.

AVIATION.

Generally SKC and excellent VSBY are expected to prevail through Saturday. West to northwest winds will gust into the 15 to 20 knots range at times through about 23z at a few airports, otherwise winds will be mostly around 10 knots or less through tonight and lighter on Saturday.

MARINE.

Some modest cold air advection will continue to aid in thermal mixing for moderate winds tonight across the coastal waters, especially the eastern waters. Northwest to north winds are expected to be around 15 knots with gusts to 20 knots at times. These winds and associated higher seas will subside Saturday as the surface high pressure area settles over the central Gulf coast region. Higher winds are expected once again Saturday night in western waters and across the marine area on Sunday as a developing low pressure system over the northwest Gulf moves east. This whole process plays out again Tuesday night into early Wednesday with another low pressure system that is expected to move west to east across the north Gulf or coastal areas.

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.
