Area forecast discussion, Jul 16, 2:35 PM CDT, 4 hours 40 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 235 PM CDT SUN JUL 16 2000 HOT SYNOPTIC SCALE RIDGE REMAINS IN PLACE WITH A FEW WRINKLES FOR THE FORECAST PERIOD. MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT THAT RIDGE WILL EXPAND EASTWARD SOMEWHAT ON MONDAY AS NORTHEAST U.S. TROUGH BEGINS TO LIFT/KICK OUT. ETA AND AVN BOTH DEVELOP A STRONG VORT MAX /POSSIBLY CONVECTIVE VORTEX/ OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE RIDGE TONIGHT...BUT THEY DIFFER WITH ITS EVENTUAL EVOLUTION. AVN TURNS THIS VORT MAX ALMOST DUE SOUTH INTO THE RIDGE AXIS MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY MORNING AND PRODUCES RAIN OVER MUCH OF MS. THE ETA RESPECTS THE EASTWARD EXTENSION OF THE RIDGE A LITTLE MORE AND RIDES THE VORT MAX AND ASSOCIATED PRECIP MORE EASTWARD...BYPASSING OUR CWFA TO THE NORTHEAST. ETA IDEA SEEMS MORE PHYSICALLY REASONABLE AND WILL GO WITH IT...EVEN THOUGH SO MANY DRY CROPS AND LAWNS WOULD PREFER THE AVN SOLUTION. DEWPOINTS ARE UP 2-5F AT MOST STATIONS PAST 24 HOURS...WITH MAXIMUM VALUES IN THE DELTA REGION AS USUAL. ETA SHOWS DEWPOINTS DROPPING OFF AGAIN TOMORROW...WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE DEPARTURE OF THE SMALL SHORTWAVE/MOISTURE AXIS OVERHEAD AND THE BUILDING RIDGE. THE LOWER DEWPOINTS AND BUILDING RIDGE WILL COMBINE TO MAKE MONDAY EVEN HOTTER THAN TODAY. WITH KMEI AND KPIB ALREADY 100F AT NOON TODAY...AND TOMORROW PROMISING TO BE EVEN HOTTER...RECORDS ARE LIKELY TO FALL. RECORD HIGH FOR KMEI TOMORROW IS 102F. THAT COULD BE BROKEN SHORTLY AFTER NOON. TUESDAY MAY NOT BE QUITE AS HOT...AS QUITE A BIT OF CIRRUS MAY RIDE OVER THE CWFA ON NORTHERLY 250 MB WINDS. PRECIP LOOKS UNLIKELY FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS THE RIDGE BUILDS. HOWEVER...WITH WEAK NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT STILL IN PLACE OVER THE EASTERN CWFA PLUS THE EXTREME HEAT...ISOLATED POPS STILL LOOK GOOD FOR THIS AREA. QPF DISCUSSION: LITTLE OR NONE EXPECTED. EXTENDED...SOME HINTS IN THE MODELS OF A PATTERN BREAK BY LATE IN THE WEEK. RIDGE FLATTENS OUT /THIS PROCESS IS ALREADY UNDERWAY NORTH OF ABOUT 50 DEG LATITUDE/ AND LEAVES US IN A MORE SEASONAL PATTERN...STILL HOT AND HUMID BUT NOT RECORD BREAKING. ISOLATED AFTERNOON S6TORMS AND A VERY SLOW MODERATING TREND ON TEMPS LOOKS GOOD. JAN 071/103 072/100 --0 MEI 070/105 071/102 321 .JAN... AR...NONE. LA...NONE. MS...NONE. 06
