Parish of Ascension Parish President Tommy Martinez Parish of Ascension Parish President OFFICE OF HOMELAND SECURITY Richard A. Webre AND Director EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS ASCENSION PARISH WEATHER SITREP 10 December 2008 As of: 1230 Hours The National Weather Service is calling for a 70% chance of a snow/sleet mix for all of Louisiana tonight and into tomorrow as a result of the cold front that moved into the State yesterday and this morning. While it will be cold through Saturday, conditions do not call for freezing temperatures except for central Louisiana on Thursday getting down to 32 degrees. More details on the weather through Sunday are provided in Paragraph 1 below. 1. LOUISIANA WEATHER: Southwest Louisiana: There is a 70% chance of rain today turning into a 70% chance for snow/sleet mix tonight. On Thursday there will be a 40% chance of snow/sleet mix during the day with conditions clearing Thursday night. Clear conditions will continue until Sunday when there is a 20% chance for rain. Hazardous Weather: A cold and windy day is in store for the region today in the wake of a cold front which passed on Tuesday evening. A lake wind advisory has been issued for the parishes and counties along and south of Interstate 10 over southwest Louisiana. Meanwhile rain will gradually spread across the region this morning. Some snow or sleet is possible later this afternoon across the lakes region tonight for all of the forecast area. Accumulations are expected to be small at this time but officials and the public are urged to stay tuned for later updates on this developing weather situation. On the coastal waters a gale warning is in effect for the coastal waters from 20 to 60 nautical miles offshore as winds are expected to be 30 to 35 knots with gusts to 40 knots. A small craft advisory is in effect for the near shore waters within 20 nautical miles as well as for the coastal lakes and bays with winds of 20 to 30 knots. Winds will start to diminish on the waters beginning tonight. Some rain and snow will linger into the morning hours on Thursday before tapering off from west to east during the remainder of the day. Dry weather is expected into Saturday as high pressure builds past the region. Small rain chances are then expected beginning Sunday and lingering into Tuesday as Gulf moisture returns to the area while weak disturbances aloft pass periodically. 828 S. Irma Boulevard, Building 3 Gonzales, Louisiana 70737 Telephone: (225) 621-8360 Fax: (225) 621-8362 Email: [email protected] Website: www.ascensionparish.net Southeast Louisiana: There is a 60% chance for rain today turning into a 70% chance for sleet/snow mix tonight. This reduces to a 60% chance for snow/sleet during the day Thursday with conditions clearing by night. Clear conditions continue until Sunday when there will be a 20% chance for rain. Hazardous Weather: Scattered thunderstorms can be expected early this morning across coastal areas of extreme southeast Louisiana. The stronger thunderstorms will remain out over the adjacent Gulf coastal waters. A little snow and light sleet may mix with rain at times late tonight across those areas of southeast Louisiana to the north and northwest of Lakes Pontchartrain and Maurepas. No accumulation of snow or sleet is expected. A small craft advisory is in effect for the tidal lakes and Gulf coastal waters. This advisory is upgraded to a gale warning for the outer Gulf coastal waters west of the Mississippi River this afternoon and tonight and the outer Gulf coastal waters east of the Mississippi River tonight. Winds will increase to 20 to 30 knots today and tonight across the near coastal waters and from 25 to 35 knots across the outer coastal waters. Seas will build up to 10 feet in the outer coastal waters. A little snow and light sleet may mix with rain at times during the day Thursday across those areas of southeast Louisiana to the north and northwest of Lakes Pontchartrain and Maurepas. No accumulation of snow or sleet is expected. A small craft advisory will be in effect for the tidal lakes and the Gulf coastal waters Thursday and Thursday night as strong offshore flow continues. Central Louisiana: There will be a 70% chance for rain today turning into a 70% chance for a snow/sleet mix tonight. Thursday the chance for the snow/sleet mix lowers to 40% during the day with conditions clearing up by nighttime. Conditions will remain clear until Sunday when there is a 20% chance for rain. Hazardous Weather: A cold and windy day is in store for the region today in the wake of a cold front which passed on Tuesday evening. A lake wind advisory has been issued for the parishes and counties along and south of Interstate 10 over southwest Louisiana. Meanwhile rain will gradually spread across the region this morning. Some snow or sleet is possible later this afternoon across the lakes region tonight for all of the forecast area. Accumulations are expected to be small at this time but officials and the public are urged to stay tuned for later updates on this developing weather situation Some rain and snow will linger into the morning hours on Thursday before tapering off from west to east during the remainder of the day.

Conditions will remain clear until Sunday when there is a 20% chance for rain. Hazardous Weather: Temperatures continue to fall this morning across the region in the wake of a Canadian cold front. Wind chill readings have fallen into the 20s and lower 30s area wide. In addition a mixture of light rain and sleet was occurring across much of east Texas and was moving into northwest Louisiana. Moisture and lift associated with this system will bring a chance of wintry precipitation across most of the four state region by tonight. Up to one half inch of accumulation is possible mainly in north Louisiana tonight. Roads should remain clear of any ice or snow but elevated surfaces could freeze by late tonight or early Thursday morning. The best chance of accumulation in the region will be after midnight tonight mainly east of a Farmerville to the Many, Louisiana line. All precipitation should end before midday Thursday. 2.

    APRIL 2016 F O R E C A S T E R S ’ F O R U M 451 FORECASTERS’ FORUM Maximum Wind Gusts Associated with Human-Reported Nonconvective Wind Events and a Comparison to Current Warning Issuance Criteria PAUL W. MILLER Department of Geography, The University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia ALAN W. BLACK IIHR–Hydroscience and Engineering, The University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa CASTLE A. WILLIAMS AND JOHN A. KNOX Department of Geography, The University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia (Manuscript received 3 September 2015, in final form 31 December 2015) ABSTRACT Nonconvective high winds are a deceptively hazardous meteorological phenomenon. Though the National Weather Service (NWS) possesses an array of products designed to alert the public to nonconvective wind po- tential, documentation justifying the choice of issuance thresholds is scarce. Measured wind speeds from the GlobalHistoricalClimatologyNetwork (GHCN)-Daily dataset associated with human-reported nonconvective wind events from Storm Data are examined in order to assess the suitability of the current gust criteria for the NWS wind advisory and high wind warning. Nearly 92% (45%) of the nonconvective wind events considered from Storm 2 Data were accompanied by peak gusts beneath the high wind warning (wind advisory) threshold of 58 mi h 1 2 2 2 (25.9 m s 1)[46mih 1 (20.6 m s 1)], and greater than 74% (28%) of all fatal and injury-causing events were associated with peak gusts below these same product gust criteria. NWS wind products were disproportionately issued in areas of complex terrain where wind climatologies include a greater frequency of high wind warning 2 threshold-level gusts, irrespective of observed impacts.
