NWS Forecaster Discussion
097 fxus64 klix 070941 afdlix Area forecast discussion National Weather Service New Orleans la 341 am CST Sat Nov 7 2009 Short term... Sat 00z lix sounding was one of the driest seen since likely last winter with a precipitable water of 0.22 inches. There was an extremely dry low layer and significantly dry middle into upper layer. A shift from nerly to more due east in column winds should help alleviate this somewhat today. Surface ridge to the east and upper high overhead will continue eastward today. Not too much in the way of clouds and no rain expected across the County Warning Area. Highs should be a couple degrees warmer than yesterday and dew point/S are expected to rise into middle 50s to lower 60s by this evening. Basically the same story tonight. Increasing moisture should keep lows from dipping down into the 40s as they have been for the last few days. Long term... generally speaking...Haven/T made many significant changes to the previous forecast due to good model run to run consistency over the last few days. Mainly just slight shifts in location of highest probability of precipitation and an increase to the definite category for Monday as confidence has been increasing. Upper low that will be the main cause for upcoming unsettled weather is currently over Baja California California and quickly moving eastward. It is prognosticated to stay on this trajectory across the southern Continental U.S.. meanwhile...an upper trough will dig south across the north central US and send a cold front towards the County Warning Area. A weak area of low pressure in the Bay of Campeche will be shifting northeastward towards the la coast Sunday night. At the same time...it appears that Ida will be moving towards our coast as well and should be in a transitioning stage into an extra tropical feature as the two lows merge. Needless to say...there will be plenty of moisture on tap as the southern open upper trough moves through. Model soundings indicate precipitable waters reaching 2 inches by Monday morning. Rain chances should start ramping up in the southwestern parishes late Sunday night and peak Monday. On Monday night...a shift to a more gradient pop arrangement from east to west with higher in coastal miss as the system tracks eastward. Rain will be tapering off significantly by Tuesday but could still have some residual showers on the backside. Wednesday through the rest of the week should be dry as high pressure quickly builds in. Meffer && Aviation... some river fog appears to have developed along the red and Mississippi rivers where nearby ASOS observations are detecting intermittent IFR fog and ceilings scattered v broken 001. These affects should be localized and have amended to reflect this at kbtr. Otherwise...VFR conditions are expected through at least 08z then patchy MVFR to IFR visibility in br/fog due to river fog once again after 08z through about 14z Sunday. && Marine... easterly gradient is established at moderate wind levels initially but anticipated to strengthen throughout the day and Monday. Tropical Storm Ida is forecast to move north into the east-central Gulf and will really sharpen the gradient for a period of gale conditions...particularly farther from shore. Will Post a gale watch on this package for the beyond 20nm waters with conditions commencing around 06z Monday and continuing through 18z Monday due to ida's closest approach...some 220 miles southeast of kmsy and about 140 nm south of the mouth of the river. Per coordination with surrounding coastal offices and National Hurricane Center...will not mention any tropical related probabilistic statements as consensus agreement that affects should be most attributable to gradient wind components and not the circulation of Ida. Strong winds are expected to continue in an offshore component once cold front moves through Tuesday...so Small Craft Advisory conditions may last for several days before improvements are noted. Regarding coastal flooding...confidence continues to remain high that coastal flooding of a moderate magnitude will result with some minor inundation possible today...increasing in height with each subsequent tide cycle Sunday through Tuesday. Coastal Flood Watch will be maintained status quo at this time. Coastal flood warnings may still be warranted at a later time but would like to see some onset of runup at some of the tidal gages before issuance. Currently...most gages are showing 0.5 to 0.8 foot anomalies above predicted astronomical tide traces. As easterly winds increase...tidal runup should become more evidenced later today or by tonight. 24/rr && Preliminary point temps/pops... mcb 77 50 75 58 / 0 0 10 30 btr 78 55 76 61 / 0 0 10 50 msy 79 60 76 65 / 0 10 10 50 gpt 76 53 75 61 / 0 0 10 30 && Lix watches/warnings/advisories... la...coastal Flood Watch until noon Tuesday for the following zones: Livingston...lower Jefferson...lower Lafourche...lower Plaquemines...lower St. Bernard...lower Terrebonne...Orleans...St. Charles...St. John The Baptist...St. Tammany...Tangipahoa...upper Jefferson...and upper St. Bernard.
