AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1031 AM CDT TUE JUN 19 2007

.UPDATE...SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY CONTINUES THIS MORNING
ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN PART OF THE CWFA. THIS RAINFALL IS VERY
BENEFICIAL TO THIS AREA WHICH IS IN A SERIOUS DROUGHT SITUATION. DUE
TO THE TRAINING OF SOME CELLS AND ESTIMATED STORM TOTALS APPROACHING
5 INCHES IN GRENADA COUNTY...ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING IS POSSIBLE
THIS MORNING.

THE UPPER FEATURE WHICH IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE STORMS WILL MOVE
SLOWLY EAST THIS AFTERNOON. THE WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY WILL LIFT SLOWLY
EAST BUT ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AND BRING
BENEFICIAL RAIN TO THE REST OF THE CWFA. A POCKET OF WINDS FROM 850
TO 500 MB SHOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH TO ALLOW STORMS TO ORGANIZE THIS
AFTERNOON. THUS...HAVE INCREASED THE SEVERE WIND PROBS AND BEEFED UP
THE WORDING IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK. KEPT CATEGORICAL POPS
GOING WITH NO CHANGES TO HIGH TEMPS.

SPC WILL BE ISSUING A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR MUCH OF CWFA
WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH CURRENT THINKING.

&&

.AVIATION...SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AFFECTING KMEI AND KGTR
THIS MORNING WITH SOME LOW CEILINGS IN MOST LOCATIONS. EXPECT STORMS
TO DEVELOP AND AFFECT TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON. STRONG WINDS ARE
POSSIBLE IF STRONGER STORMS AFFECT THE SITES.

&&

SW

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...TODAY AND TONIGHT...RIGHT OFF THE BAT THIS
MORNING...RADAR SHOWS A GOOD BIT OF CONVECTION OCCURRING OVER AREAS
MAINLY ALONG AND WEST OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE PARKWAY.  THIS ACTIVITY
IS ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH THAT CONTINUES TO SHIFT
EAST INTO AND OVER THE FORECAST AREA.  I EXPECT THIS TREND TO
CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY WITH BETTER COVERAGE EXISTING THIS
AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY IN THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA WHERE THE BEST INSTABILITY WILL EXIST...AS A SURFACE
BOUNDARY TO THE NORTHWEST DROPS SOUTHEAST INTO THE FORECAST AREA.

WITH THE BEFORE MENTIONED UPPER TROUGH STILL MAKING ITS PRESENCE
FELT OVER THE AREA...COUPLED WITH THE SURFACE BOUNDARY... PLENTY OF
DEEP MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY AVAILABLE TO TAP INTO OVER THE
AREA...IN ADDITION TO DAYTIME HEATING...WE SHOULD SEE THE BEST RAIN
CHANCES WEVE SEEN IN A WHILE THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY OVER THE
ENTIRE FORECAST AREA.  ITS POSSIBLE THAT SOME OF THE STORMS THAT
DEVELOP OVER THE AREA TODAY...AND EVEN LINGERING INTO
TONIGHT...COULD BECOME SEVERE WITH HAIL AND STRONG DAMAGING WINDS
BEING THE MAIN CONCERNS.  ILL CONTINUE TO MENTION THIS IN THE HWO.

I DID UP RAIN CHANCES JUST A TAD ACROSS THE DELTA TONIGHT JUST TO
KEEP AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE IN FOR THAT AREA IN THE EVENT SOME
ACTIVITY IS STILL ON GOING DURING THE EARLY EVENING.  RAIN CHANCES
SHOULD HOWEVER BEGIN TO DECREASE FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST TONIGHT
AS THE UPPER TROUGH CLEARS THE AREA TO THE EAST AND THE SURFACE
BOUNDARY PUSH THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA TO THE SOUTHEAST DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS.  BEHIND THE UPPER TROUGH AND THE SURFACE
BOUNDARY...HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTHWEST ALONG WITH AN UPPER RIDGE
TO THE WEST WILL BEGIN TO BUILD INTO THE REGION BE EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING. /19/

WEDNESDAY THROUGH THIS WEEKEND...MODEL TENDENCY FOR DEEP MOISTURE TO
BE DRIVEN OUT OF THE AREA QUICKER CONTINUES WITH THE LATEST RUNS AND
WEDNESDAY LOOKS LIKE A DRY DAY FOR THE ENTIRE AREA NOW. SHARPLY
DRIER AIR SHOULD MOVE IN WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY WITH SFC
DEWPOINT TEMPS EXPECTED TO FALL INTO THE MID/UPPER 50S ALONG AND
EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 55 CORRIDOR. A GENERALLY DRY WEATHER PATTERN
WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE REBUILDS
OVER THE AREA. LOOK FOR SURFACE HUMIDITY TO CREEP UPWARD IN THE
MODIFYING AIRMASS WHILE HIGH TEMPS REMAIN SLIGHTLY ABOVE READINGS
TYPICAL OF LATE JUNE. /EC/

&&

.AVIATION...LOW CEILINGS...VISIBILITIES...AND CONVECTION WILL BE THE
MAIN FORECASTING OBSTACLES THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY AT ALL TAF
SITES.  JUST WITH THE RICH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE OVER THE ENTIRE
AREA...CEILINGS SHOULD REMAIN IN THE MVFR CATEGORY TODAY...AND COULD
LOCALLY BECOME IFR ALONG WITH VISIBILITIES IF CONVECTION IS
OBSERVED.  CONVECTION WILL END FROM THE NORTHWEST TONIGHT...AND
CONTINUE INTO THE SOUTHEAST EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING AS THE BOUNDARY
PUSHES THROUGH THE AREA.  HOWEVER...MVFR...TO LOCALLY IFR...
VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS COULD STILL BE POSSIBLE AS A RESULT OF FOG
THAT COULD DEVELOP EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING AS A RESULT OF THE WET
SOIL LEFT OVER FROM TUESDAYS CONVECTION. /19/
