Abstract
The occurrence and amounts of hourly precipitation recorded from 1951 to 1990 at the city of Lake Charles, Louisiana during the month of Jan uary are analyzed on a diurnal basis by synoptic weather type. The eff ects of each weather type on the temporal distribution of diurnal prec ipitation is discussed. Frontal Overrunning (FOR) has the greatest eff ect on the overall diurnal precipitation pattern. The merit of identif ying the underlying processes which create distinct diurnal patterns i s examined.
