AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
752 AM CDT SUN SEP 14 2008

.DISCUSSION...MADE A QUICK UPDATE TO ADD THREE MORE OF THE
NORTHEASTERN COUNTIES TO THE TORNADO WATCH THIS MORNING. THE LINE OF
STORMS HAS BEEN PROPAGATING FORWARD RAPIDLY THIS MORNING AND THESE
COUNTIES WILL LIKELY BE AFFECTED BEFORE THE WATCH EXPIRES AND DECENT
SHEAR BEGINS TO SLACK OFF. OTHERWISE NO OTHER CHANGES WERE MADE AT
THIS TIME.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT...TROPICAL DEPRESSION
IKE WILL LIFT NEWD INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION BY THE EVENING. THE
SYSTEM WILL PRODUCE A DEEP FETCH OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE THAT WILL LIE
ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS AND REMAIN IN PLACE AHEAD OF LOW LEVEL TROUGHING
THAT WILL PUSH INTO THE AREA IMMEDIATELY TO THE REAR OF IKE. 850 MB
SURFACE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED CONVERGENCE IS FORECAST BY SEVERAL
MODELS TO STALL OVER SWRN ZONES TODAY AND TONIGHT NI A REGION OF RICH
850 MB THETAE AND HIGH SURFACE DEWPOINTS. MODELS ARE SHOWING
SIGNIFICANT STRENGTHENING OF UPPER DYNAMICS AS A STRONG UPPER JET
DROPS INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY FROM THE WEST AND A SMALLER JET CORE
PUSHES WWD ACROSS THE NRN GULF. GFS INTENSITY SUGGESTS FEEDBACK BY
THAT MODEL BUT BOTH EURO AND SPC WRF MAINTAIN HEALTHY QPF SWRN ZONES
OVERNIGHT. WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES FROM 2 TO NEAR 2.5 INCHES
HAVE DECIDED TO EXTEND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH INTO
TONIGHT...MAINTAINING THE SAME AREA. HAVE FOLLOWED POPS FROM THE
PREVIOUS FORECAST TO MAINTAIN WETTER TREND THAT ADVERTISED BY MOS.
HOWEVER HAVE FOLLOWED MOS TEMPS FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT. WIND SHEAR
WILL CONTINUE TO DIMINISH THIS MORNING AND GENERALLY DROP OFF BY LATE
MORNING. A NARROW AREA OF MARGINAL SHEAR PERSISTS OVER ERN ZONES BUT
THE TORNADO RISK SHOULD GENERALLY END BY NOON FOR THE ARKLAMISS. THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT ITSELF IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN RAPIDLY DURING THE
EARLY MORNING...MORE THAN ENOUGH TO LET THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY EXPIRE
AS ADVERTISED. DRIER AIR WILL BEGIN TO MOVE IN FROM THE NW LATE
TODAY. SURFACE DEWPOINTS ARE FORECAST INTO THE MID 60S EXTREME NW MS
BY 15/00Z AND FORECAST TO FALL INTO THE 50S TO 60S RANGE OVER MUCH OF
THE FORECAST AREA LATE TONIGHT. /03/

FOR MONDAY...MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT THE COLD FRONT AND ASSOC
SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL SLOWLY SHIFT SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA. HAVE
BOOSTED POPS ABOVE MAV GUIDANCE WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR THE FRONT TO
BE SLOWER THAN DEPICTED BY THE GFS...BUT NOT EXPECTING MORE THAN
LIGHT TO MODERATE RAINFALL AMOUNTS.

FOR MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...THE 00Z GFS/ECMWF OPERATIONAL
RUNS ARE IN EXCELLENT AGREEMENT ON LARGE SCALE FEATURES. THE
COMBINATION OF RISING HEIGHTS OVER THE PLAINS AND THE MEAN LONGWAVE
TROUGH BECOMING POSITIONED OVER THE EASTERN CONUS WILL RESULT IN
MUCH QUIETER WEATHER OVER THE FORECAST AREA. A DRY CONTINENTAL AIRMASS
WILL BUILD SOUTHWARD AND BRING TEMPERATURES ABOUT 5 DEGREES COOLER
THAN AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

NEXT WEEKEND...THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL STALL OVER
THE NRN GULF THIS WEEK...AND THE GFS/ECMWF SHOW SOME INDICATIONS
THAT THE BOUNDARY/MOISTURE WILL RETURN NORTH BRINGING A CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS/TSTMS TO THE AREA. /EC/

&&

.AVIATION...WILL SEE PREVAILING MVFR CIGS THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING
WITH BKN-OVC BASES FROM 2-3 THOUSAND FT. SHOWERS WILL INCREASE IN
COVERAGE FOR PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL AND ISOLATED TSTMS. SLY WIND
FROM 15-25 MPH WILL PERSIST OVER NWRN ZONES WITH HIGHER GUSTS. WIND
WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH THIS MORNING AND SETTLE TO 10-15 MPH BY
NOON. CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN TO IMPROVE OVER NORTHWEST ZONES DURING
THE AFTERNOON AS DRIER AIR BEGINS TO SEEP IN. /03/
