Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service New Orleans LA
352 AM CDT SAT SEP 17 2016
.SHORT TERM...
Not a lot of difference between yesterday and what is expected today. Rain will be produced quite efficiently once again with a very deep tropical environment overhead. A very weak yet somwhat evident sfc circulation near Galveston will move toward the Cameron La area later today. This will help set up some convergent bands to the east of this very weak low. The system is not expected to move much today and Sunday but weaken further since the sfc feature is very close if not onshore. There is a weak mid level circulation noticed south of the Atchafalaya Bay area as well. Development of the first area of mainly shower activity looks to be starting just east of that circulation.
Regardless whether these type of systems have a center or if they are never given a name, these are still tropical systems by nature and are still very efficient at producing copious amounts of rainfall which becomes these features greatest hazard. This particular system will not be producing record rainfall amounts but can still be a potential issue for some people especially when traveling if some roadways are flooded.
Most sh/ts activity today should develop near the coast as well as inland but should orient from sw-ne. All activity will be transitory but within covergent boundaries which mean they will be training over some of the same areas today as did yesterday. This could lead to precip amounts of 0.5 to 2" within a short time frame causing some flooding of low lying and poorly drained areas. A few areas could see totals higher through today, but this should remain isolated.
As usual, tropical waterspouts and funnels will also be possible. This should mainly occur during the morning hours today and Sunday.
and from WPC
WESTERN TO CENTRAL GULF COAST
HIGH PW VALUES---2.25"+---WILL PERSIST ALONG THE WESTERN TO CENTRAL GULF COAST FROM THE UPPER TX COAST TO THE FL PANHANDLE. THIS WILL SUPPORT LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS FROM ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTION THAT MAY EXPAND NORTHWARD FROM IN THE VICINITY OF THE RECENT NEARLY STATIONARY MID TO UPPER VORT OFF THE LA/TX COASTS---INTO COASTAL SECTIONS FROM THE UPPER TX COAST---EASTWARD TO THE FL PANHANDLE.
