Area forecast discussion 
National Weather Service Lake Charles la 
340 PM CDT Friday Aug 29 2008 




At present... 
scattered showers and thunderstorms...some on the strong side... 
continue to move southwest through southeast Texas and southwest 
Louisiana. Frequent lightning and gusty downdraft winds to around 
40 knots have been measured by the Doppler radar. 


&& 


Discussion... 
the latest briefing from the National Hurricane Center shows little 
change in the track or intensity forecast of Hurricane Gustav. 


The GFS model depicts the near-future Gulf-of-Mexico Gustav being 
steered by the deep anticyclone...which sets-up out of the Great 
Lakes region and ridges south southeast to across Florida. 


The GFS continues to depict an outflow channel (to the midlatitude 
westerlies) becoming established along an axis from the central 
Gulf of Mexico through New Orleans to across the Carolinas by 
Sunday morning. Consequently...Gustav may rapidly intensify...as 
it approaches this outflow channel. 


&& 


Aviation... 
patchy light fog possible near dawn. Otherwise VFR flying 
condition are expected.
