HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
100 PM CST WED 8 2000

...THUNDERSTORMS...
THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT IN EASTERN LOUISIANA AND MISSISSIPPI...ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF
INTERSTATE 20.  THE MAIN THREAT THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE FROM HAIL AND
DAMAGING STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS.  ISOLATED SUPERCELL STORMS MAY ALSO
PRODUCE BRIEF TORNADOES...ESPECIALLY IN MISSISSIPPI.  SPOTTER
ACTIVATION MAY OCCUR AT ANYTIME THROUGH THIS EVENING.

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING ALONG AND SOUTH OF A VICKSBURG TO STARKVILLE LINE.  MOST OF
THESE STORMS WILL REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LIMITS.  HOWEVER...VERTICAL
WIND PROFILES SUGGEST THAT A FEW STORMS MAY PRODUCE BRIEF
TORNADOES...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE VICINITY OF THE WARM FRONT.  IN
ADDITION...A STRONG COLD FRONT IN EAST TEXAS WILL SWEEP THROUGH
LOUISIANA AND MISSISSIPPI LATE TONIGHT.  A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONT...WITH THE MAIN THREAT
BEING FROM STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS.

...FLOODING...
WHILE NO WIDE-SCALE FLOODING OR FLASH FLOODING IS EXPECTED...STORMS
THAT DEVELOP GENERALLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 20 MAY PRODUCE VERY HEAVY
LOCALIZED RAINS THROUGH TONIGHT. IN THE MOISTURE-LADEN AIRMASS...
COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL COULD DEVELOP. POTENTIAL RAIN TOTALS BY
THURSDAY MORNING COULD RANGE FROM NEAR ONE INCH IN SOUTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI...TO OVER THREE INCHES OVER PARTS OF NORTHEAST
LOUISIANA...SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS...AND WEST MISSISSIPPI.

...THUNDERSTORMS...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE SCATTERED OVER MUCH OF SOUTHEAST
ARKANSAS...NORTHEAST LOUISIANA AND MUCH OF MISSISSIPPI THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING WILL BE HIGHEST SOUTH OF A LINE FROM
GREENVILLE TO MACON...ALONG AND SOUTH OF A WARM FRONT THAT WILL
TRACK NORTHWARD ACROSS THE REGION. THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL
CONTINUE TONIGHT AS NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THUNDERSTORMS WILL DIMINISH FROM THE WEST
AROUND MIDNIGHT IN THE WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT. THE POTENTIAL FOR
SEVERE STORMS WILL CONTINUE FOR EXTREME EASTERN MISSISSIPPI COUNTIES
UNTIL AROUND DAYBREAK.  THUNDERSTORMS MAY INTENSIFY RAPIDLY IN A
SHORT PERIOD. THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS
BUT THESE STORMS WILL ALSO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE
TORNADOES. SPOTTERS HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED.

...FLOODING...

PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN. WATER MAY BEGIN TO POND IN LOW LYING AREAS
