NWS Forecaster Discussion
318 fxus64 klix 101313 afdlix Area forecast discussion National Weather Service New Orleans la 713 am CST Wednesday Mar 10 2010 Update... sounding discussion... The atmosphere has become unstable and remains very moist up to just below 11k feet with dry air present aloft...precipitable water value is 1.17 inches and the lifted index value is -5.2. An inversion is present near 1500 feet and a secondary inversion near 3700 feet. Winds are out of the southwest near the surface and out of the west aloft...strong upper level winds. && Previous discussion... /issued 536 am CST Wednesday Mar 10 2010/ Update... a dense fog advisory has been issued until 9 am CST for lakes Pontchartrain and Maurepas...and for the Gulf coastal waters from the mouth of the Mississippi River to Pascagoula out 20 nm. Previous discussion... /issued 346 am CST Wednesday Mar 10 2010/ Short term... an active period is in store for the forecast area during the next 24 hours. A vigorous middle/upper low over New Mexico early this morning will move across the Southern Plains today and then into the Missouri Valley tonight. Although the best dynamics associated with this feature will remain to the north and west of the forecast area...large scale ascent associated with this system will increase across the lower Mississippi Valley and central Gulf Coast today. This ascent will be enhanced be a very strong upper level jet extending across northern Mexico and Texas that will nose its way into into the central Gulf Coast region maintaining substantial divergence aloft across the region. In addition... low level warm air advection and moisture advection will continue in advance of the system moving through the Southern Plains as a low level southerly to southwesterly jet develops across the lower Mississippi Valley. Model forecast soundings indicate significant shear developing across the area this afternoon which should help promote the development of rotating storms. Forecast helicity values indicate the potential for a few tornadoes as well. Instability is forecast to be somewhat modest...however any breaks in the cloud cover today will help promote additional instability. At this time...it appears that the main threat for severe weather will occur during the afternoon and evening hours. The severe weather threats will run the gamut with damaging winds...hail and a few most likely weak tornadoes possible. The convection will end from west to east tonight as a pre-frontal tough moves across the forecast area. Long term... quiet weather will return to the forecast area for the end of the work week and into the weekend. The large upper trough/low over the central Continental U.S. Will slowly make its way east into the eastern Continental U.S. During this period. An associated cold front will push across the area late Thursday night and Friday. An isolated shower cannot be ruled out with the passage of this front and with the eastward moving upper trough/low from Thursday night into Friday night...especially across northern sections of the region.Somewhat cooler air will return for the weekend. The next chance for rain will be Monday night or Tuesday as the next upper low/trough moves out of the western U.S and into Texas early next week before advancing toward the lower Mississippi Valley. Medium range model solutions associated with this system have not been consistent from run to run. 11 Aviation... ceilings should stay in the 400-800 feet range through much of the morning then lift to 1500 feet. Visibility will periodically be reduced due to rain and fog through the morning as well. Thunderstorms are expected to develop later today and a few are expected to become severe. Strong wind gusts near any taf site due to strong to severe ts today will cause strong shear for any takeoff and/or approach. 17 Marine... synoptic forcing over the marine environment is causing winds to mix down this morning. Wind speeds should increase to around 20 knots by this evening. Caution statements have been posted for today over all open Gulf waters but have held off on issuance over the lakes for now. This may change though as we get into the late morning hours. Did the same for advisories for the open Gulf waters by holding off for now. Winds should fall right at the 20 knot mark for the Gulf waters by this evening. Will hold for the day shift and 12z run before bringing advisories up. A reinforcing surge of dry air moves over the northern Gulf Friday night causing winds to increase once again. The next system will begin to affect the area Monday night and Tuesday. This one will be much stronger and may be much farther south over the Gulf. Placement will be important with this system as gales may evolve around the center of the low. 17 && Preliminary point temps/pops... mcb 72 58 75 48 / 70 70 10 10 btr 73 59 76 49 / 70 70 10 10 asd 73 59 76 49 / 70 70 10 10 msy 73 60 76 52 / 70 70 10 10 gpt 71 60 75 51 / 70 70 20 10 pql 72 60 76 52 / 70 70 20 10 && Lix watches/warnings/advisories... la...none.
