AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
614 PM CDT TUE MAY 24 2005

.UPDATE...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ARE SPREADING EAST OVER EAST
MISSISSIPPI. SO HAVE UPDATED ZONES TO REFLECT THIS.

&&
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
315 PM CDT TUE MAY 24 2005

.SHORT TERM...DISTINCT BOUNDARY HAS SET UP FROM SE AR INTO SRN MS
AHEAD OF MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE VORTEX/MCV/ OVER OZARK REGION. STRONG
DRY INTRUSION FROM OH VALLEY TO TN VALLEY REGION HAS ENHANCED
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE BOUNDARY...RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE
POOLING OVER IMMEDIATE ARKLAMISS REGION RESULTING IN 100 MB MEAN
LAYER CAPE AROUND 3500 J/KG. DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS MODEST...BUT
APPEARS TO BE ENOUGH TO ORGANIZE DEVELOPING STORMS EARLY THIS AFTN.
EXPECT COVERAGE WILL INCREASE OVER THE LATE AFTN/ERLY EVNG HOURS
ACROSS THE SW HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND SW OF
A GREENVILLE TO BRANDON TO HATTIESBURG LINE. STORMS WILL BECOME
STRONG...AND A FEW WILL REACH SEVERE LIMITS GIVEN THE STRONG
INSTABILITY. IF STORMS CAN ORGANIZE INTO A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE
SYSTEM/MCS/ THEN THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL INCREASE.
LOCALLY VERY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO OCCUR GIVEN THE RICH BOUNDARY
LAYER AND RATHER HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER AIRMASS NEAR 2 INCHES OVER
THE ARKLAMISS REGION. HAVE HIT PRECIP CHANCES HARDEST OVER NE LA AND
SW MS BASED ON CURRENT TRENDS...AND EXPECTATION FOR MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE TO GRADALLY SHIFT SW AS STRONG DRY AIR INTRUSION
CONTINUES FROM THE NE OVERNIGHT. BY WEDNESDAY...BETTER MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE WILL EXIST OVER THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE FORECAST
AREA. DRIER AIR WILL BE STORY OVER MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA BY
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. COOLER LOW TEMPS ARE IN STORE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. /EC/

THURSDAY...SFC FRONT CURRENTLY AFFECTING THE AREA PROGGED TO BE
SUPPRESSED TO OUR SOUTH AND WEST. THE AIRMASS OVER THE REGION WILL
REMAIN ON THE DRIER SIDE WITH SFC DEWPOINTS RANGING FROM THE MID 50S
NE TO LOWER 60S SW. HAVE GONE AHEAD AND REMOVED RAIN BEARING POPS.
925MB/850MB TEMPS SUGGEST TEMPS WILL BE A BIT COOLER THAN THE PAST
FEW DAYS...WITH HIGHS RANGING FROM AROUND 80 NE TO MID 80S SW.

FRIDAY...LOOKS LIKE THE FRONT WILL BEGIN A WAFFLE BACK TOWARD THE
AREA AND FLIRT WITH AT LEAST THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE CWFA. SFC
DEWPOINTS AND TEMPS WILL BE BACK ON THE RISE...WITH DEWPOINTS BACK
INTO THE 60S AND HIGHS IN THE MID 80S. HAVE MAINTAINED SLGT CHC
POPS./GAGAN/

.LONG TERM...
MED RANGE GUIDANCE EXHIBITING FAIR CONSISTENCY W/RT THE LARGE SCALE
PATTERN DURING THIS PERIOD. TWO MAIN FEATURES WILL GOVERN OUR
WEATHER REGIME: THE LARGE SCALE UPPER PATTERN WILL FEATURE A REX
BLOCK WHILE THE MESOSCALE IN OUR REGION WILL BE DOMINATED BY A
WAFFLING SFC BOUNDARY. THE BEST WORD TO DESCRIBE THE UPCOMING
WEEKEND IS UNSETTLED.

THE LOWER MS RIVER VALLEY WILL GENERALLY RESIDE IN NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT...PRONE TO A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES ROTATING AROUND AN UPPER
LOW CENTERED OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. PIN POINTING THE TIMING
OF ANY ONE DISTURBANCE A RATHER FUTILE EFFORT...THUS CHC POPS HAVE
BEEN INCLUDED FOR EACH PERIOD THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
READ: THERE WILL BE DRY TIME DURING THIS PERIOD. THIS MAKES THE
TEMPERATURE FORECAST RATHER TRICKY. FOR THE MOST PART...REMAINED
CONSERVATIVE WITH HIGHS IN THE 83-87F RANGE. PROGGED 925/850MB TEMPS
SUGGEST THAT THIS IS QUITE REASONABLE. HOWEVER...IF AN MCS WERE TO
AFFECT THE REGION DURING OUR BEST HEATING HOURS (9AM-2PM) THEN
COOLER TEMPS ARE LIKELY.

IT APPEARS THAT THE REX PATTERN SHOULD BEGIN TO BREAK DOWN EARLY
NEXT WEEK...WITH UPPER TROUGHING OVER THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST AND
UPPER RIDGING OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS. THIS WOULD REMOVE THE SFC
FRONT AND WARM TEMPS TO AT OR A FEW DEGREES ABOVE AVG. /GAGAN/

344 PM CDT TUE MAY 24 2005

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

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...

...THUNDERSTORMS...
ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT OVER
WESTERN AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE OUTLOOK AREA...ESPECIALLY TO
THE SOUTHWEST OF A GREENVILLE TO BRANDON TO HATTIESBURG LINE. THE
PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER RISK IN THESE AREAS WILL BE DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS UP TO 70 MPH AND LARGE HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS.

A FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS INTO
SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI IS SERVING AS A FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT. THE ATMOSPHERE IS VERY UNSTABLE AND MOIST ALONG THE
BOUNDARY AND THIS IS CREATING A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR STRONG
TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. IN ADDITION...AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE
OVER ARKANSAS WILL MOVE SLOWLY EAST OVERNIGHT AND SHOULD HELP
MAINTAIN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ALONG THE BOUNDARY WELL INTO THE
NIGHT. EXPECT THE RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE GREATER IN THE
EVENING HOURS.

STRONG STORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING OVER
SOUTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE OUTLOOK AREA...BUT EXPECT THE SUPPORT
FOR FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE LESS AS INSTABILITY WILL BE
WEAKER.

...FLOODING...
A VERY MOIST AIRMASS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO LOCALLY VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVER SOUTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE OUTLOOK AREA THIS
EVENING. THUNDERSTORMS WILL PRODUCE UP TO TWO INCHES OF RAINFALL
IN AN HOUR...RESULTING IN RAPID RUN-OFF OF WATER AND LOCALIZED
MINOR FLOODING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...

...DAYS TWO AND THREE...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...
NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

...DAYS FOUR THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...
ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM COMPLEXES WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS
WEEKEND...AS DISTURBANCES MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO OUR AREA.  SOME
STRONG STORMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE AS A
WARM FRONT LIFTS SLOWLY NORTHWARD ACROSS THE REGION.  AT THIS
TIME...A GOOD DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY EXISTS AS TO THE EXACT LOCATION
AND TIMING OF THESE SYSTEMS.  PLEASE CHECK LATER FORECASTS FOR
MORE DETAILED INFORMATION.

.SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...
THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...HAM RADIO OPERATORS AND OTHER
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL COULD BE NEEDED THIS EVENING.
OTHERWISE...ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED THROUGH NEXT
TUESDAY...MAY 31ST.

WEATHER OUTLOOK.
