AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
308 PM CDT TUE APR 3 2007

.SHORT TERM...LOW MORNING CLOUDS HAVE SCATTERED THIS AFTERNOON AND
BROUGHT THE LAST WARM DAY FOR THE ARKLAMISS UNTIL THE WEEKEND WITH
TEMPS GENERALLY IN THE LOW TO MID 80S. CONVECTION IS ALREADY
BEGINNING TO BREAK OUT THIS AFTERNOON ALONG A CONVERGENCE AXIS ACROSS
CENTRAL MS. 18Z SOUNDING REVEALED A VERY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE...WITH
CAPE AROUND 2000 J/KG...LI STILL AROUND -6...AND A LITTLE MORE
MOISTURE WITH PWATS ALMOST 1.5 INCHES THANKS TO THE CONTINUOUS SURGE
OF MOISTURE FROM THE GULF. THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF A CAP WHICH MAY
SUPPRESS CONVECTION SOME THROUGH SUNSET.

THE MAIN CONCERN IN THE SHORT TERM IS THE FRONTAL PASSAGE DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AND ASSOCIATED SEVERE WEATHER THREAT. AT SUNSET THE
FRONT WILL BE LOCATED FROM THE OHIO VALLEY BACK INTO THE ARKLATEX
REGION. FRONT SHOULD BE PUSHING THROUGH THE DELTA REGION BY MIDNIGHT
AND THROUGH THE REST OF THE CWA BY DAYBREAK. WITH PLENTY OF
INSTABILITY AND SOME SHEAR THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE OF STRONG STORMS
WITH THE POTENTIAL OF SEVERE STORMS. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE FROM
LARGE HAIL MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF I-20. DECIDED TO GO ABOVE
GUIDANCE FOR POPS ALONG AND NORTH OF THE I-20 CORRIDOR AND WENT WITH
GUIDANCE FOR TONIGHT AND TOMORROW TEMPS. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE
GENERALLY IN THE MID 50S IN THE NORTH TO LOW 60S IN THE SOUTH. AS
THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH EXPECT COOLER AND DRIER CONDITIONS WITH
DAYTIME HIGHS BEING IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S IN THE NORTH AND KEPT
MID 70S IN THE SOUTH WHERE THE FRONT MAY NOT MAKE AS MUCH OF AN
IMPACT. /28/

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...THE PRIMARY CONCERN IN THE
EXTENDED OUTLOOK WILL BE THE BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES FROM THE COOL
UPPER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE CONUS. THIS WILL PUT OUR
REGION UNDER NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. SEVERAL SHORTWAVES AROUND THE
BASE OF THE TROUGH WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REGION. THE AXIS OF THE
UPPER TROUGH WILL LIFT OUT BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. COOL HIGH PRESSURE
WILL MOVE IN FROM THE NORTH AND AFFECT THE ARKLAMISS THROUGH THE
LONG TERM PERIOD. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF
RAINFALL WITH THE SHORT WAVES THAT PASS THROUGH THE REGION WITH THE
GULF BEING CUT OFF. PRECIPITABLE WATER WILL RANGE FROM 0.5 TO 0.8 OF
AN INCH FOR THE WEEKEND...THEN DROP TO BELOW .30 INCH FOR EARLY NEXT
WEEK.

HAVE MADE A SLIGHT ADJUSTMENT TO LOW POPS FOR THE PERIOD. WENT FOR DRY
CONDITIONS FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY.

AS MENTIONED EARLIER...AS FAR AS TEMPS ARE CONCERN 925 TEMPS WILL DROP
FROM 1 TO 8 C BY FRIDAY AND WILL DIP TO AROUND -3C ON SUNDAY MORNING.
TEMPS WILL BEGIN TO REBOUND EARLY NEXT WEEK BACK UP TO 6 TO 8C ON TUESDAY
AS THE AXIS OF THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES EAST OF THE REGION. SO WITH
THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS AND ENSEMBLES AGREEING WITH THE COOL
PATTERN...EXPECT TEMPERATURES WILL DROP MAINLY INTO THE 30S FOR
NIGHTLY LOWS THIS WEEKEND WITH SOME SPOTS NEAR 30. THIS WILL BRING
ON SOME POSSIBLE TEMPERATURES RECORDS FOR THIS WEEKEND. THE BOUT OF
COOL WEATHER WILL BRING NIGHTLY LOWS DURING THE WEEKEND ABOUT 15 TO
20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. SATURDAYS HIGHS WILL BE AROUND 15 DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL...WHICH WILL RISE TO 6 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR SUNDAY.
SOME OF THE ENSEMBLES WERE GOING FOR THE MIDDLE 20S AT SOME
LOCATIONS...WHICH SEEMED A LITTLE TOO COOL. WITH THESE LIGHT WINDS
AND TEMPS EXPECT TO SEE SOME APRIL FROST IN THE AREA. WE WILL BEGIN
TO WARM AT THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE SHIFTS TO THE
EAST AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING SYSTEM...PUTTING THE ARKLAMISS UNDER
SOUTH WINDS. /17/
