| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New Orleans LA 1151pm CDT Thu April 25 2024 Long Term (Saturday through Wednesday night) Issued at 204pm CDT Thu April 25 2024 Going into the upcoming weekend, active southwesterly flow will be over top the region. Upstream, a front will have stalled over the central planes as the orientation of the front will be parallel to the mid/upper flow. Breezy southerly winds will help moisture advect into the region. Although no real lift/support across the region outside of some very modest WAA/coastal convergence a few light showers may develop in the deep rich low level warm/moist advection. Globals are slightly pinging this potential, however, for now we will place silent 10 POPs this weekend outside of perhaps some mentionable POPs out towards Wilkinson Co., MS on Sunday as the front tries to move closer to the region. Going into the new workweek, it would appear globals want to bring the front a bit closer. That will help with increasing POPs with a bit better Quantitative Precipitation Forecast signal. However, the upper flow quickly begins to transition the the wake of a series of upper level impulses to a progressive flow. So, as the front tries to work its way through the region, the upper levels will but the breaks on and perhaps even change the orientation to a more west to east direction. Think the front may be just close enough to keep some POPs in the forecast early to midweek next week, but overall confidence is a bit on the low side with some differences amongst the globals. (Frye) Marine Issued at 204pm CDT Thu April 25 2024 Southeasterly inds start to increase on Friday and especially through the upcoming weekend. High pressure will continue to slide east and should push off the Atlantic coast tomorrow while multiple surface lows develop and move northeast through the Plains and towards the Upper MS Valley and Great Lakes into the start of the new workweek. This will tighten the pressure gradient increasing winds and seas across our local waters. Headlines are expected through the weekend possibly as early as late Friday.
