| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New Orleans LA 347pm CDT Wednesday Oct 27 2021 .SHORT TERM... The much anticipated cold front has pushed into our western zones, and a good portion of our area ahead of this line has entered the warm sector thanks to a northward surging warm front. A strong tornado and damaging wind threat will exist for the remainder of the afternoon into the evening hours as CAPE well over 2000 J/kg and 0-3km SRH over 250 m2/s2 persists during this timeframe. The threat area will shift east as the day comes to close with a tornado watch out to 10 pm. The risk for severe weather will quickly come to an end from west to east as the front pushes through. Behind the front, there will some lingering showers but that will end quickly as well. Winds will shift to the west/northwest and will be gusty at times. 23 Long Term Expect much cooler, drier air behind the front as surface high pressure builds into the region by the end of the week. Our area will remain under northwesterly flow aloft which will help reenforce the cool conditions at the surface, especially for Friday and Saturday night. The flow aloft becomes more zonal by the end of the weekend, but our area will remain dry through the end of the forecast period. 23 Marine Hazardous conditions will exist throughout much of the forecast period as the cold front pushes through this evening. Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible until the frontal passage. Afterwards, west to northwest winds will likely increase to Gale force winds, sustained winds in excess of 34 knots with higher gusts, for much of Thursday and Friday. Winds will begin to relax by the weekend as the pressure gradient subsides. 23 NOAA New Orleans LA Office: Watches - Warnings - Advisories LA...None.
