AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
402 AM CST TUE FEB 13 2007

.SHORT TERM...AN ACTIVE DAY IS IN PROGRESS FOR THE ARKLAMISS
REGION THIS MORNING.  WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS THE UPPER LOW MOVING
OVER EASTERN OKLAHOMA THIS MORNING.  THE SURFACE LOW IS SITUATED
OVER WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS WITH THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT STRETCHING
ACROSS TEXAS FROM KTRL TO KSJT.  THE INITIAL SURFACE CONVERGENCE
AXIS IS CURRENTLY MOVING QUICKLY ACROSS THE CWFA.  SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS AREA LOCATED EAST OF THE
INTERSTATE 55 CORRIDOR...AND APPROACHING THE INTERSTATE 59
CORRIDOR.  DEW POINTS ARE RISING OVER THE AREA...REACHING AT OR
AROUND 60 FROM HBG TO NEAR MLU.  AS THE ENVIRONMENT HAS BEEN
BECOMING MORE FAVORABLE...WE HAVE ALSO SEEN AN INCREASE IN RADAR
ACTIVITY ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA...AS EXPECTED. AS THIS
BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVES EAST THROUGH THE AREA...THE
MAIN AREA OF CONCERN LOOKS TO REMAIN SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 20
CORRIDOR WHERE MORE MOISTURE WILL BE LOCATED.

ONCE THIS INITIAL CONVERGENCE AXIS MOVES THROUGH THE AREA...WE
SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET A BREAK IN THE ACTIVITY UNTIL THE ACTUAL COLD
FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA.  THE FRONT SHOULD BEGIN TO MOVE
THROUGH THE CWFA...MAINLY BETWEEN 15Z-21Z.  ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS SECONDARY ROUND OF SEVERE
WEATHER.  AT THIS POINT...THE SURFACE LOW WILL BE MOVING INTO
CENTRAL TN. THE MAIN AREA OF CONCERN WITH THIS SECONDARY ROUND WILL
SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA...MAINLY ALONG AND NORTHEAST OF A GREENWOOD TO FOREST TO LAUREL
LINE. INSTABILITY OVER THIS REGION WILL BECOME GREATER...EVEN MORE
SO THAN WHAT WE HAVE/WILL SEE OVER THE CWFA WITH THIS INITIAL ROUND
OF SEVERE WEATHER.  ML CAPES OVER THIS REGION WILL INCREASE TO
AROUND 800-1000 J/KG AND DEW POINTS WILL GET TO NEAR OR AROUND 60
OVER EASTERN AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA. HEIGHTS AND
PRESSURES WILL FALL A BIT AS THE SYSTEM MOVES OVER THIS AREA. AND
LAPSE RATES WILL BECOME A LITTLE STEEPER OVER THIS AREA AS 500MB
TEMPS COOL TO AROUND -18C TO -20C...WITH 925MB TEMPS RANGING FROM
12C TO 14C OVER THIS AREA. AGAIN...WITH THIS ROUND OF SEVERE
WEATHER...THE MAIN CONCERN WILL BE HAIL. THIS THREAT WILL BEGIN TO
DIE DOWN DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS...ENDING BETWEEN 20Z-22Z.
SHOWERS WILL LINGER OVER THE NORTHEASTERN PORTION OF THE CWFA
THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS BEFORE CLEARING OUT BY AROUND MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT.

ONCE THIS MOVES THROUGH...THE BIG STORY WILL BE COLD TEMPERATURES
MOVING INTO THE REGION.  HIGH TEMPERATURES EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WILL
BE REACHING THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN PORTION
OF THE CWFA...MIDDLE TO UPPER 60S ALONG THE NATCHEZ TRACE...AND
COOLER IN THE UPPER 50S IN THE DELTA REGION.  MUCH COOLER
TEMPERATURES WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA BEHIND THIS FRONT WITH LOWER TO
MIDDLE 30S FOR LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT AND HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY ONLY
REACHING THE LOWER 40S WITH A FEW MIDDLE 40S SNEAKING IN OVER THE
SOUTH. /14/

.LONG TERM...QUIET EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FCST WHICH WILL MAINLY BE
JUST A TEMP FORECAST. A RATHER COLD AIRMASS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH
INTO THE AREA WED NIGHT THROUGH THU NIGHT WITH TEMPS BEGINNING TO
MODERATE THIS WEEKEND.

WED NIGHT THROUGH FRI MORNING...HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
SOUTH THROUGH THE PLAINS WITH CAA CONTINUING THROUGH THE NIGHT WED
AND INTO THU NIGHT. WITH TEMPERATURES STRUGGLING TO WARM MUCH WED
THERE SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM SEEING LOWS THU MORNING IN THE 20S TO
NEAR 30 EVEN WITH A GOOD BIT OF CLOUD COVER EXPECTED. THERE IS AN
OUTSIDE CHANCE OF SEEING A FEW FLURRIES ACROSS THE NRN 3RD OF THE
CWA WED NIGHT AND THU MORNING. THE SNDG WILL BE BELOW FREEZING BUT
THERE IS JUST NOT A LOT OF MOISTURE TO WORK WITH SO I WILL KEEP THE
FCST DRY RIGHT NOW. THU WILL BE ANOTHER COLD DAY. H925 TEMPS WILL
ONLY BE IN THE -6 TO -4 RANGE. EVEN WITH CLOUDS STARTING TO THIN OUT
DURING THE DAY THESE LL TEMPS WILL MAKE IT HARD FOR MANY LOCATIONS
ALONG AND NORTH OF I 20 TO EVEN APPROACH 40 DEGREES. I LIKE THE
PREVIOUS FCST FOR HIGHS WHICH IS A FEW DEGREES COOLER THAN THE NEW
MEX SO I WILL STICK CLOSER TO THAT THAN THE GUI. NOW WITH SKIES
STARTING TO CLEAR OUT LATE IN THE DAY THU AND HIGHS ONLY IN THE
UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S THE STAGE WILL BE SET FOR A COLD NIGHT...AS A
MATTER OF FACT THIS LOOKS TO BE THE COLDEST NIGHT THIS YEAR AND
COLDEST SINCE THAT COLD SNAP WE HAD IN EARLY DEC WHERE SOME PLACES
GOT INTO THE MID TEENS. THERE IS AN OUTSIDE CHANCE OF SEEING A FEW
RECORDS FRI MORNING BUT WE WILL HAVE TO COOL TO OUR POTENTIAL. THE
BEST CHANCE TO SEE RECORDS LOOK TO BE GWO AND TVR WHERE THE RECORD
LOWS ARE 17 AND 21 RESPECTIVELY. THE RECORD LOW AT JAN IS 18 SO WE
WILL BE CLOSE BUT THAT MAY BE JUST OUT OF OUR REACH.

LL TEMPS WILL START TO WARM UP FRI AND INTO SAT BEFORE THE NEXT
FRONT COMES THROUGH SAT AFTN. THIS WILL ALLOW HIGHS TO BE WARMER
BOTH FRI AND SAT BUT WE SHOULD STILL BE WELL BELOW NORMAL. HIGHS ON
SAT MAY ACTUALLY OCCUR AROUND MIDDAY OVER MANY AREAS AS THE COLD
FRONT MOVES THROUGH. NOT EXPECTING ANY RAIN WITH THIS FRONT AS WE
WILL REMAIN QUITE DRY. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR RAIN LOOKS TO BE SOME
TIME EARLY TO MID NEXT WEEK. /CAB/

&&

.AVIATION...MAINLY MVFR CONDITIONS WITH PERIODS OF IFR WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER EASTERN
PORTIONS OF THE AREA WILL MOVE OUT BY AROUND 11-14Z.  ANOTHER ROUND
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO WESTERN
PORTIONS OF THE AREA BETWEEN 15-17Z AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE
REGION FROM THE WEST.  WITH THIS SECOND ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...THE BULK OF THE ACTIVITY WILL OCCUR OVER EASTERN
PORTIONS OF THE AREA (MAINLY AFFECTING GTR AND MEI...AND POSSIBLY
HBG). THIS REGION IS WHERE THE BEST INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE WILL BE
LOCATED.  ACTIVITY WILL BEGIN TO CALM DOWN OVER THIS AREA BETWEEN
20-22Z...LEAVING SHOWERS OVER THIS REGION THROUGH THE EVENING
HOURS.  CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN TO IMPROVE AS WE MOVE INTO THE EVENING
AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. /14/

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

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

...THUNDERSTORMS...
SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY. OVER
THE REGION WE ARE EXPECTING TWO ROUNDS OF SEVERE WEATHER. THE
FIRST ONE WILL OCCUR FOR TONIGHT. THE SECOND ROUND WILL OCCUR
DURING LATE TUESDAY MORNING INTO TUESDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE
NORTH AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.

FOR THE FIRST ROUND A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL TRACK
NORTHEAST...JUST NORTH OF THE REGION TONIGHT INTO THE PREDAWN
HOURS TUESDAY. THIS WILL HELP TO DRAW NORTHWARD WARM AND MOIST
AIR. THIS WILL COMBINE WITH VERY COLD TEMPERATURES ALOFT
PROVIDING STEEP LAPSE RATES AND SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS. A STRONG UPPER DISTURBANCE WILL ACCOMPANY THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM AND PRODUCE THE TRIGGER TO GENERATE THESE STORMS.
AT THIS TIME THE PRIMARY RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER LOOKS TO BE
HAIL...SOME AS LARGE AS QUARTER TO GOLF BALL SIZE. HOWEVER
ISOLATED TORNADOES IN THE SOUTHWEST DURING THE NIGHT AND DAMAGING
WINDS ELSEWHERE IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. AS FAR AS TIMING IS
CONCERNED...10 PM TO 3 AM IN THE DELTA REGION...2 AM TO 5 AM IN
THE NATCHEZ TRACE/INTERSTATE 55 CORRIDOR THEN 5 TO 8 AM IN THE
EAST. OVERALL...THE BEST CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE ALONG
AND WEST OF INTERSTATE 55 WITH AND ENHANCED AREA ACROSS THE
PARISHES OF LOUISIANA SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 20.

THE SECOND ROUND OF SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM 10 AM TO
4 PM TUESDAY AS COLDER TEMPERATURES ALOFT MOVE OVERHEAD AND THE
ACTUAL COLD FRONT CLASHES WITH 70 DEGREE AIR TEMPERATURES. ONLY A
PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE UNDER THE RISK WITH THE
SECOND ROUND OF SEVERE STORMS. AREAS ACROSS THE SOUTH WILL SEE A
LOW LEVEL CAP DEVELOP AND POSITIONED UNDERNEATH A STRONG JET
STREAM. AT THIS TIME AREAS NORTH AND EAST OF A GREENVILLE TO
JACKSON TO LAUREL LINE WILL BE UNDER THE PRIMARY RISK OF SEVERE
WEATHER. A MORE ENHANCED RISK WILL EXIST FOR AREAS EAST OF A
EUPORA TO FOREST LINE. THIS ENHANCED AREA WILL BE UNDER THE
GREATEST INSTABILITY AND IN A LOCATION WHERE STORMS WILL HAVE
TIME TO MATURE. MOST OF THE SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE IN THE FORM OF
QUARTER TO GOLFBALL SIZE HAIL. A SMALLER RISK WILL EXIST IN THE
FORM OF DAMAGING WINDS AND POSSIBLY EVEN A TORNADO IF THE LOW
LEVEL SHEAR CAN BECOME STRONGER.

EVERYONE IS URGED TO STAY ABREAST TO THE LATEST OUTLOOKS AND
STATEMENTS CONCERNING THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER EVENT.

.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 TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. OTHERWISE
ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED THROUGH NEXT MONDAY.
