AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
356 AM CDT THU OCT 19 2006

...ANOTHER VERY RAINY DAY ON TAP...

.SHORT TERM...JUST AS THE AREA IS TRYING TO RECOVER AND DRY UP SOME
FROM THE MON HEAVY RAIN/SEVERE WEATHER EVENT WE ARE IN LINE FOR
ANOTHER BOUT OF HEAVY RAIN AND POSSIBLY A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS. LIGHT RAIN HAS OCCURRED OVER JUST ABOUT THE ENTIRE CWA MOST
OF THE NIGHT BUT WITH THE LL STILL FAIRLY DRY EARLY IN THE NIGHT IT
TOOK A WHILE TO GET MOST PLACES TO MEASURE. THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE
THE PROBLEM AS MUCH NOW AS THE COLUMN CONTINUES TO MOISTEN UP AND
PWS IN EXCESS OF 2 IS RIGHT ON THE DOORSTEP.

BY SUNRISE THERE SHOULD BE A RATHER LARGE AREA OF SHRA AND EMBEDDED
TSRA OVER CNTRL/NERN LA AND WRN MS. GFS IS INDICATED VERY STRONG
ISENTROPIC LIFT OVER THAT AREA B/T 6 AND 12Z THIS MORNING AND
LOOKING AT 7Z RADAR IT IS LINING UP WELL WITH THE GFS. WITH PWS OF
UP TO 2.5 INCHES EXPECTED TO MOVE IN OVER IN THE SRN HALF OF THE CWA
HEAVY RAIN IS ONCE AGAIN A PROBLEM. THE FORCING ALOFT IS NOT NEARLY
AS GREAT AS MON BUT THERE WILL BE MORE THAN ENOUGH IN PLACE. WITH SUCH
HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT SHRA AND ESPECIALLY TSRA WILL BE VERY
EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS WITH NERN LA AND WRN MS SEEING ANYWHERE
FROM 6 TO AS MUCH AS 10 INCHES IT WONT TAKE TOO MUCH TO EXACERBATE
THE SITUATION. FFA IS ALREADY IN PLACE FOR OUR WRN AND SWRN ZONES
TILL 1PM BUT AM GOING TO EXPAND THE WATCH ANOTHER TIER OF
COUNTIES/PARISHES NORTH. THESE AREAS CANT HANDLE ANOTHER 2 INCHES
OF RAIN AND WITH THE ISENTROPIC FIELDS AND CURRENT RADAR TRENDS BOTH
SUGGESTING HEAVY RAIN COULD LINE UP A LITTLE FURTHER NORTH SEE NO
REASON TO BE CUTE AND KEEP THIS AREA OUT.

AS FOR THE SEVERE THREAT LOOKS VERY MINIMAL AT THIS TIME. LAPSE
RATES CONTINUE TO BE LAME. THERE IS SOME LOWER 70 DEWPOINTS AND THIS
WILL AT LEAST LEAD TO SOME LIMITED INSTABILITY IN THE SOUTHEAST WITH
MLCAPES OF 600-900J/KG. GFS AND NAM BOTH SHOW THE LL WIND FIELDS
RESPONDING AS A SFC LOW DEEPENS IN SRN LA WITH 0-1KM SHEAR OF
25-30KTS. LOOKING AT SOME OTHER WIND FIELDS 2-8KM...H7 AND H5 IT
APPEARS THAT THERE COULD BE A MODE PROBLEM. THAT SAID IF ANY STORMS
CAN DEVELOP OUT AHEAD OF THE MAIN BATCH OF ACTIVITY WE COULD SEE A
FEW ISOLATED SEVERE. ONCE AGAIN THE MAIN PROBLEM COULD BE LOW TOPPED
HYBRID TYPE SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING QUICK SPIN UP
TORNADOES. THE MAIN AREA THAT IS OF CONCERN IS ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST...MAINLY SOUTH OF A LINE FROM BROOKHAVEN TO MERIDIAN.

FRONT WILL BE THROUGH MOST OF THE AREA BY EARLY EVENING. PRECIP WILL
END FROM W TO E AND BY MIDNIGHT MOST OF THE AREA SHOULD BE
DONE...EXCEPTION COULD BE THE NE WHERE LIGHT SHRA MAY CONTINUE FOR A
FEW MORE HRS. COOLER AND DRIER AIR WILL ALREADY BE ADVECTING IN AND
CLOUDS WILL START TO CLEAR FROM NW TO SE. BY SUNRISE MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES SHOULD BE OVER MOST OF THE AREA. WITH WINDS EXPECTED TO BE IN
THE 5-10 MPH RANGE ALL NIGHT MORNING LOWS WILL BE A PRODUCT OF CAA
MORE SO THAN RADIATIONAL COOLING AS WAS THE CASE LAST FRI.  THIS
AIRMASS IS NOT NEARLY AS COOL AND WITH GUI GENERALLY GOING WITH MID
TO UPPER 40S EVERYWHERE EXCEPT FOR LOWER 50S IN THE SERN 3RD IT
LOOKS PRETTY GOOD.

FRI WILL BE A QUIET AND COOLER DAY. THERE SHOULD BE NO CLOUDS AND
WITH H925 TEMPS OF 8-10C MID 60S TO LOWER 70S LOOK PRETTY GOOD AND
WILL NOT DEVIATE FROM MAV. /CAB/

.LONG TERM...PROGRESSIVE PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EXTENDED
WITH A FROPA EVERY 2-3 DAYS. EACH FRONT WILL BRING A SHOT OF PRECIP
FOLLOWED BY A COOLER AND DRIER AIRMASS.

FRI NIGHT INTO SAT AFTERNOON...THE COOL/DRY AIRMASS WILL BE IN
CONTROL AND TEMPS WILL BE THE MAIN ISSUE. GUID SEEMED TO BE RIGHT ON
AND NO ADJ WERE MADE. RETURN FLOW AND ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL BEGIN SAT
EVENING AS THE EFFECTS OF THE NEXT LONG WAVE TROUGH ARE FELT. WITH
THE DRY AIR IN PLACE...MOISTENING WILL HAVE TO OCCUR FIRST BEFORE
PRECIP CAN BREAK OUT. THE ISENTROPIC ASCENT DOES INCREASE TOWARD
MORNING AND SOME LIGHT PRECIP SHOULD BREAK OUT. THE BEST LIFT WILL
COME FROM COOLING ALOFT WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR THE THETA SFCS TO RISE
A GOOD BIT HELPING TO SQUEEZE OUT PRECIP. CONFIDENCE IN MEASURING
PRECIP FOR THIS SAT NIGHT/SUN TIME FRAME IS NOT REAL HIGH AND WILL
JUST FOLLOW THE LATEST GUID FOR POPS. INSTABILITY WILL BE VERY
LIMITED AND HAVE ONLY MENTIONED ISO THUNDER ALONG AND S OF I-20 AND
THAT MAY BE PUSHING IT.

SIGNIFICANT COLD FRONT MOVES INTO AND THROUGH THE CWA SUN NIGHT. ALL
INDICATIONS ARE THAT THIS WILL BE ANOTHER ANOMALOUS AIRMASS. LATEST
NORMALIZED ANOMALIES ARE NOT IN...BUT JUST FROM THE LOOK OF
THINGS...WE SHOULD SEE ANOTHER RUN OF 4-5 STANDARD DEVIATIONS BELOW
NORMS. THIS TYPICALLY WOULD BE SOME 15 DEGREES BELOW CLIMO
TEMPS...BUT I WILL STAY CONSERVATIVE AT THIS POINT. WILL CONTINUE
THE TREND OF CUTTING GUID 3 TO 5 DEGREES. IF THINGS WORK OUT JUST
RIGHT...TUE MORNING COULD BE QUITE FROSTY WITH SOME LOCATIONS
REACHING FREEZING. STILL SEVERAL DAYS AWAY AND TRENDING THAT WAY IS
GOOD FOR NOW.

WE COULD SEE OUR NEXT SYSTEM BETWEEN WED-FRI...WHICH FITS THE
PROGRESSION OF SYSTEMS...AND WILL JUST FOLLOW THE LATEST GFS
GUIDANCE FOR TEMPS/POPS. I DID CUT POPS ACROSS THE E HALF TUE NIGHT
DUE TO THE FACT THAT SUCH A DRY AIRMASS WILL BE IN PLACE...TIME WILL
BE NEEDED TO MOISTEN IT UP.  /CME/
