AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1250 PM CST SAT DEC 22 2007

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...BAND OF STORMS ACROSS CENTRAL AR/WESTERN LA/SE
TX HAS INTENSIFIED OVER THE LAST HOUR. AM GUESSING THAT THE RUC MAY
BE UNDERESTIMATING THE AMOUNT OF ELEVATED INSTABILITY AVAILABLE
GIVEN THE STEADY INTENSIFICATION...MORE AGGRESSIVE NAM/GFS PROBABLY
MORE REASONABLE. IN ANY EVENT...EXPECT THAT CONTINUED STRONG
THERMAL/MOIST ADVECTION JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP
STORMS GOING AS THEY MOVE INTO THE WESTERN PART OF OUR AREA IN A
COUPLE OF HOURS. LARGE BREAKS IN THE LOW CLOUDS HAVE EXPANDED ACROSS
NE LA AND WESTERN MS...AND INSOLATION SHOULD WARM THE BOUNDARY LAYER
AND ENHANCE THE POSSIBILITY OF STRONG CONVECTIVE WINDS MAKING IT
DOWN TO THE SURFACE. STILL EXPECT THAT THE GREATEST RISK OF ANY
SEVERE STORMS WILL BE WEST OF I-55 BETWEEN 3 AND 9 PM...AND THAT
DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT. SPC HAS ISSUED A
MESOSCALE DISCUSSION FOR THIS AREA...AND A SVR TSTM WATCH MAY COME
OUT IN THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO FOR THIS AREA.

THANKS AGAIN TO SPC FOR ADDITIONAL COORDINATION.

&&

.AVIATION...EXPECT AT LEAST BKN LOW CLOUDS AT MOST LOCATIONS THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON WITH A MAINTENANCE OF GENERALLY MVFR CONDITIONS.
OCCASIONAL SCT CONDITIONS COULD OCCUR THOUGH AS LARGE BREAKS
CURRENTLY ON SATELLITE IN WRN MS. WILL TIME SHRA/TSRA THREAT IN TAFS
BASED ON EXPECTED TIMING OF CONVECTIVE LINE. CLOUDS WILL LINGER
TONIGHT AFTER FROPA...BUT EXPECT RAPID CLEARING BY SUN AM.
