AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1015 PM CDT MON OCT 16 2006

.DISCUSSION...
PREVIOUSLY STAGNANT WEATHER SITUATION ALL DAY OVER THE LOWER MS
VALLEY IS NOW BECOMING PROGRESSIVE AS UPPER ENERGY BEGINS TO LIFT
OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND TOWARD THE OHIO VALLEY. THE STRONG
SURFACE LOW (DOWN TO 995 MB) THAT HAS BEEN STRENGTHENING IN RESPONSE
TO UPPER FORCING IS NOW LIFTING OUT TOWARD THE MID MS VALLEY.
SOUTHERLY GRADIENT WINDS REMAIN QUITE HIGH OVER CENTRAL AND EASTERN
MISSISSIPPI...BUT HAVE RELAXED SOME ACROSS THE WESTERN CWA AS THE
SURFACE TROUGH MOVES IN. MAIN LINE OF HEAVY RAIN (AND SEVERE WX)
PRODUCING THUNDERSTORMS IS GENERALLY ALIGNED WITH SAID LOW-LEVEL
TROUGH AXIS...AND THE NOW PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF THE WHOLE SYSTEM
SHOULD ALLOW THIS ACTIVITY TO PASS EAST THROUGH THE WHOLE CWA BEFORE
12Z. PERHAPS A FEW SHOWERS WILL LINGER BEHIND THE MAIN BAND AFTER
SUN-UP IN EASTERN MS...BUT THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD NOT BE SIGNIFICANT.
EXTREME DOWNPOURS ASSOCIATED WITH THE HEAVY STORMS COULD PRODUCE 2
INCHES OF LIQUID IN SPOTS...WITH MODERATE RAIN SURROUNDING THE
HEAVIER BAND CAPABLE OF AT LEAST ANOTHER INCH. SO...THAT MATH SHOULD
YIELD ANOTHER 1 TO 3 INCHES OF PRECIP THE REST OF THE NIGHT ACROSS
CENTRAL AND EASTERN MS AND FLOOD WATCH LEFT INTACT. AS FOR SEVERE
THREAT...HIGH LOW LEVEL SHEAR IN THE PRESENCE OF LIMITED INSTABILITY
IS PROVING ENOUGH TO GENERATE NASTY LOOKING BOWING SEGMENTS WITHIN
THE MAIN LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS. THESE BOWING SEGMENTS AND AN
ISOLATED EMBEDDED SUPERCELL OR TWO WARRANT THE TORNADO RISK...WHILE
SVR WIND GUSTS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. ALMOST ALL OF THE THREAT FOR
SEVERE WEATHER IS NOW DEEMED TO BE WITH THE MAIN LINE OF STORMS
COMING THROUGH AND THE RISK OF SEVERE CELLS OUT AHEAD SEEMS MINIMAL
AT THIS TIME.

UPDATED THE 1ST AND 2ND PERIOD PACKAGES TO CUT OFF THE EXPECTATION
OF PRECIP FROM WEST TO EAST MORE QUICKLY...IN RESPONSE TO OBSERVED
TRENDS. ALSO ADJUSTED LOWS UPWARD A BIT. NEW TOR WATCH 834 IS
INCLUDED FOR NORTHEAST ZONES...WITH A SOMEWHAT TRIMMED 833 IN THERE
AS WELL. FLASH FLOOD WATCH LEFT INTACT FOR ALL ZONES THROUGH 7
AM...BUT WILL LIKELY START CANCELING WATCH FROM THE WEST AS THE
NIGHT GOES ON AND RAIN SHUTS OFF. FINALLY...LAKE WIND ADVISORY
EXTENDED FOR ALL CENTRAL AND EASTERN ZONES THROUGH 5 AM...ALTHOUGH
ALL WIND ADVISORIES ENDED IN WESTERN ZONES. /BB/

&&

.AVIATION...
LOTS OF IFR CONDITIONS AND GUSTY WINDS SURROUND A LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS PASSING SLOWLY EAST THROUGH CENTRAL AND EASTERN
MISSISSIPPI. THIS ACTIVITY WILL CLEAR THE AREA BY 7 TO 8 AM. OUTSIDE
OF HEAVY BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS MOSTLY MVFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED.
SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL WINDS REMAIN VERY GUSTY (20 TO 30 KTS) OVER
CENTRAL AND EASTERN MISSISSIPPI...BUT THEY WILL GRADUALLY VEER AND
RELAX THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. NO LLWS IS EXPECTED OR IS
BEING EXPERIENCED. /BB/

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

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT AND TUESDAY...

...THUNDERSTORMS...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING TORNADOES WILL BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE OUTLOOK
AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT... ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE
20.

A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE TROUGH WILL APPROACH FROM THE
WEST THIS AFTERNOON...SENDING A WARM FRONT AND TROPICAL AIR
NORTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA. ALTHOUGH INSTABILITY IS WEAK IN THE
TROPICAL AIRMASS...THERE WILL BE JUST ENOUGH TO PRODUCE STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE OUTLOOK AREA...ESPECIALLY TO THE SOUTH OF
INTERSTATE 20. VERY STRONG WIND SHEAR WILL CREATE A FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENT FOR STORMS TO BECOME SEVERE AND CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. ONCE AGAIN...THE GREATEST
RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL EXIST SOUTH OF INTERSTATE
20...ESPECIALLY DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. THE
RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL DIMINISH LATE TONIGHT.

...FLOODING...
FLASH FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT ACROSS
THE OUTLOOK AREA AS A VERY MOIST TROPICAL AIRMASS SURGES NORTH
AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. RAINFALL WILL BECOME
VERY HEAVY LATE THIS AFTERNOON...AND REMAIN HEAVY TONIGHT WHICH
COULD SET THE STAGE FOR FLASH FLOODING OF STREAMS AND LOW-LYING
AREAS. REFER TO THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR MORE DETAIL.

...NON PRECIPITATION...
A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE IN EFFECT FOR THE NORTHWEST DELTA REGION FOR
SUSTAIN WINDS OF 20 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 35 MPH. FOR THE
REST OF THE REGION A LAKE WIND ADVISORY WILL BE IN EFFECT WITH WINDS
OF 20 MPH WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 30 MPH. THESE ADVISORIES WILL BE IN
EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM.

THIS WILL BE DUE TO A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE REGION FROM A
STORM SYSTEM THAT WILL MOVE OVER THE REGION TONIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...
THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...HAM RADIO OPERATORS...AND
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL...IN SUPPORT OF SEVERE WEATHER
OPERATIONS WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT...OTHERWISE ACTIVATION SHOULD NOT BE NEEDED THROUGH NEXT
MONDAY OCTOBER 23.
