642 PM CDT FRI APR 29 2005

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI...
NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...

...THUNDERSTORMS...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE  TONIGHT ACROSS EXTREME
SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS...EAST LOUISIANA...AND MUCH OF MISSISSIPPI.

THE GREATEST RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR NORTH OF A
LINE FROM BASTROP LOUISIANA...TO HOLLANDALE...VAIDEN...AND EUPORA
MISSISSIPPI.  HERE...THE COMBINATION OF MOISTURE...INSTABILITY...AND
WIND SHEAR (WHICH IS THE CHANGE IN WIND DIRECTION/SPEED WITH HEIGHT)
WILL ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS.
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP TONIGHT ACROSS
SOUTHERN ARKANSAS AND NORTHERN LOUISIANA...THEN MOVE ACROSS THIS
AREA BETWEEN 8 PM AND 5 AM.  TORNADOES...HAIL GREATER THAN THREE
QUARTERS OF AN INCH IN DIAMETER...AND DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60
MILES AN HOUR WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS.

ANOTHER UPPER-LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT FURTHER
SOUTHEAST INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TONIGHT.  AS THESE
FEATURES MOVE INTO OUR AREA OVERNIGHT...A SQUALL LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED MOVE ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT.  EVEN THOUGH
DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL APPEAR TO BE THE GREATEST RISK WITH
THESE THUNDERSTORMS...ISOLATED TORNADOES CANNOT BE RULED OUT. THIS
LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION
OVERNIGHT...EXITING SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI TOWARD SUNRISE.

RIGHT NOW...IT LOOKS LIKE THE GREATEST RISK OF SEEING SEVERE
WEATHER WILL OCCUR BETWEEN 8 PM AND 11 PM ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS
REGION...BETWEEN 11 PM AND 2 AM AROUND A LINE FROM BROOKHAVEN TO
COLUMBUS...AND BETWEEN 1 AM AND 5 AM OVER EAST CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI.

...FLOODING...
HEAVY RAIN MAY RESULT IN THE PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS AND
OTHER LOW-LYING AREAS ACROSS AREAS NORTH OF A LINE FROM BASTROP
LOUISIANA...TO CARTHAGE AND COLUMBUS MISSISSIPPI.

AS THUNDERSTORMS EVOLVE THIS EVENING...THE POTENTIAL EXISTS THAT
A FEW STORMS WILL MOVE REPEATEDLY ACROSS THE SAME AREA.  THE
COMBINATION OF SEVERAL ROUNDS OF INTENSE STORMS...AND A SQUALL
LINE MOVING THROUGH THE REGION...WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL TO SEE
2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN IN A 3 HOUR PERIOD.  AT THIS TIME...AREAS
NORTH OF A LINE FROM GREENVILLE TO LEXINGTON TO KILMICHAEL HAVE
THE HIGHEST RISK OF SEEING THIS LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...
THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTER GROUPS...HAM RADIO
OPERATORS...AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL...IN SUPPORT OF
SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS...WILL BE NEEDED TONIGHT.
OTHERWISE...ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED THROUGH NEXT	FRIDAY.
