Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service New Orleans la 
415 am CDT Sat Oct 11 2008 


Short term... 
no changes to ongoing pack. Status quo conditions continue which 
would make it hard to acheive skill points. We will begin to 
slowly ramp up rain chances toward the start of next week as the 
old front over the Gulf gets reactivated and pushed west as an 
inverted trough. 


Long term... 
a strong cold front will stall near or just north of the area by 
Wednesday. Will have to wait a few more days to see if the Canadian high 
pressure moves in behind this front by the end of next week 
forcing it through. 


&& 


Aviation... 
aside from tempo MVFR visibility in br/haze around daybreak...VFR conditions 
should prevail through tonight into Sunday morning...when tempo MVFR 
visibility in br will be possible once again. 24 


&& 


Marine... 
large high pressure ridge along the eastern Seaboard will persist 
for the next several days with easterly flow becoming moderate and 
persistent Sunday through Tuesday. Tides along east-facing shores 
and within the tidal lakes will become abnormally high once again 
until gradient softens a bit Thursday. 24
