You can either provide a complete 6-character PIL/AFOS ID or provide
the 3-character base ID (e.g., AFD). The start and end
dates represent 00 UTC for those dates. The Zip format is useful as
the filenames will have the product timestamp, which is useful for
when the product format has ambiguous timestamps.
830 FXUS64 KLIX 122325 AFDLIX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service New Orleans LA 625 PM CDT Sat Apr 12 2025 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Sunday night) Issued at 220 PM CDT Sat Apr 12 2025 Beautiful spring conditions continue with near normal temperatures in the low to mid 70s today as post-frontal drier air mixes in from the north. Surface high pressure behind the front will move southeast by Sunday allowing winds to become southerly again, but no substantive moisture return will be expected as the pressure gradient remains fairly weak through Sunday night. No weather hazards to discuss. Enjoy your weekend! && .LONG TERM... (Monday through Friday night) Issued at 220 PM CDT Sat Apr 12 2025 Southerly winds will allow for gradual moisture from the southwest Gulf on Monday into Tuesday ahead of our next frontal system. This will also boost highs back to near 80F for Sunday and Monday. Dew points will be back into the upper 50s to low 60s so humidity will be a bit more noticeable on Monday. However, yet another shortwave trough will dive out of the Pacific Northwest on Monday supplying another welcomed shot of cooler, drier continental air on Tuesday. Tuesday will feature a bit more cloud cover as this front passes and cannot rule out a stray shower or sprinkle, but any rain looks highly unlikely to be measurable. By Wednesday, this frontal passage will knock dew points back into the 40s to upper 30s across much of the northern Gulf coast with some refreshing cool mornings in the 50s on Wednesday and Thursday. Soak this weather up as much as you can though because we do appear to see this longwave east coast trough regime come to an end by next weekend where we could see our next more legitimate chance for rain. West coast troughing and a more active weather pattern is beginning to increasingly be favored into the last weeks of April. .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 620 PM CDT Sat Apr 12 2025 VFR conditions will continue for the whole forecast period. Winds will remain relatively light but will switch from northerly to southeasterly starting mid tomorrow morning. -BL && .MARINE... Issued at 220 PM CDT Sat Apr 12 2025 Northerly winds will ease through the day today becoming light and variable by tonight. Winds will then shift to southerly by Sunday and rise to around 10kt through Monday. Tue, winds will be light and variable early before shifting back from the north as another front moves to the coast. Winds will shift to easterly by early Wed and continue shifting to a SE direction by late Wed rising to around 15kt to finish out the week. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
