AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
425 AM CDT THU MAY 15 2008

TODAY AND TONIGHT...RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE THIS
MORNING...TORNADO WATCH 325 IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM FOR A GOOD
PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA.  CONVECTION IS ONGOING THIS MORNING
ACROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA AS A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCES MAKE THEIR RUN ON THE FORECAST AREA ALONG A COLD FRONT
THAT IS SLOWLY DROPPING SOUTHEAST ACROSS SOUTHWEST TENNESSEE...
INTO CENTRAL ARKANSAS...AND INTO NORTHEAST TEXAS.  THIS LOOKS LIKE
ITLL BE THE CALL OF THE DAY ACROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA UNTIL
THE FRONT PUSHES SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA LATE TONIGHT.

AS THESE DISTURBANCES MOVE ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE COLD FRONT IN A
VERY WARM AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS...CONFIDENCE REMAINS HIGH TODAY THAT
MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL SEE A GOOD BIT OF RAINFALL AT SOME
POINT IN TIME THROUGHOUT THE DAY...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME
FLOODING TO OCCUR.  AS A RESULT...IVE INCREASE POPS ACROSS THE
ENTIRE AREA TODAY...AND WILL OBVIOUSLY KEEP THE CURRENT FLASH FLOOD
WATCH FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA GOING.

WITH THAT SAID THOUGH...THE ONLY REAL FLY IN THE OINTMENT PER SAY IS
THE POTENTIAL OF A BROAD AREA OF CONVECTION FIRING FAR ENOUGH TO THE
SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA TO WHERE WE COULD ESSENTIALLY GET CUT
OFF.  STILL...MY THINKING IS THAT EVEN IF THAT OCCURS ITLL BE MORE
OF A HAMPER IN TERMS OF SEVERE STORM POTENTIAL OVER THE AREA...AND
NOT IN TERMS OF HURTING THE SPREAD OF SOAKING RAINS ACROSS THE
ARKLAMISS REGION.

THAT BRINGS ME TO THE NEXT TOPIC OF DISCUSSION...SEVERE STORM
POTENTIAL.  THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL EXIST ACROSS THE
ENTIRE FORECAST AREA TODAY...BUT WILL TAPER OFF BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT AS IT DROPS SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING.  ESSENTIALLY...WITH THE ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE POOLED OVER
THE REGION COUPLED WITH DAYTIME HEATING...INCREASING INSTABILITY...
FORCING ALONG THE FRONT...AND ALTHOUGH DEEP LAYER WIND SHEAR
DECREASES SLIGHTLY...ITLL STILL BE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO KEEP A RISK
OF SEVERE STORMS OVER THE AREA TODAY AND INTO THIS EVENING...
ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTH WHERE THE BETTER INSTABILITY LOOKS TO
EXIST LATER TODAY.  IT LOOKS LIKE ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL
BE POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY.

AS WE MOVE INTO THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT...THE COLD
FRONT WILL CONTINUE PUSHING SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE CWA.  RAINFALL
SHOULD BE ENDING BEHIND THE FRONT IN THE PROCESS...WITH MOST IF NOT
ALL OF THE ACTIVITY CONFINED TO LOCATIONS MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF
INTERSTATE 20 THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...AND THEN PROGRESSING
FURTHER SOUTH THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.  THE SEVERE POTENTIAL
WILL ALSO CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING...BUT AS WE BEGIN TO LOSE
HEATING...THIS POTENTIAL IS EXPECTED TO DECREASE. /19/

FRIDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY...FRIDAY APPEARS TO BE ANOTHER
CLOUDY...WET...AND COOL DAY. EVEN THOUGH THE FRONT WILL LIKELY HAVE
PUSHED SOUTH INTO SRN MS/LA WE WILL STILL BE EMBEDDED IN SW FLOW.
ANOTHER PIECE OF ENERGY IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE GULF COAST
STATES AND LOOKS TO BREAK OUT ADDITIONAL SHRA AND POSSIBLY ISLTD
TSRA....MAINLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA. MOST OF THE RAIN
SHOULD BE OUT OF THE AREA BY LATE AFTN BUT SOME LINGERING SHRA COULD
REMAIN OVER THE EXTREME SE INTO THE EARLY EVN HRS.

.LONG TERM...MEDIUM RANGE MDLS SEEM TO BE IN DECENT AGREEMENT
OVERALL THROUGH MON AND THEN SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES OCCUR. THE AREA
WILL GO UNDER NW FLOW THIS WEEKEND AND PERSIST INTO MON WITH A WEAK
FRONT LATE SUN. IT IS AT THIS POINT WHERE THE MDLS START TO GO IN
OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS. THE ECMWF START TO LOSE THE DOMINATE ERN CONUS
TROUGH TUE AND THEN QUICKLY TRANSITIONS INTO A DEEP CLOSED LOW OVER
THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE BY WED NIGHT. THE GFS HOLDS ONTO A ERN CONUS
TROUGH WITH A LARGE RIDGE OVER THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE. WITH SUCH
LARGE DISCREPANCIES CONFIDENCE IN THE FCST IS NOT VERY HIGH BUT WITH
THE WAY THE GFS HAS OUTPERFORMED THE ECMWF FOR ABOUT THE LAST MONTH
I WILL STICK CLOSELY TO THE GFS SOLN.

SAT SHOULD BE THE QUIETEST DAY OF THE FCST BUT LIGHT RAIN LOOKS TO
RE-ENTER THE FCST ON SUN. DRIER AIR WILL HAVE ALREADY FILTERED IN
AND WITH NW FLOW BOTH IN THE MID LEVELS AND AT THE SFC THINGS WILL
REMAIN QUIET ON SAT. BY SUN RETURN FLOW NEVER REALLY SETS BACK UP
BUT SOME MOISTURE WILL TRY TO BUILD AHEAD OF A WEAK FRONT THAT WILL
APPROACH THE ARKLAMISS SUN AFTN. THIS WILL BE DRIVEN SOUTH BY A
DISTURBANCE IN THE NW FLOW AND COULD HELP TO DEVELOP LIGHT SHRA
AND POSSIBLY AN ISLTD TSRA LATE SUN AFTN AND OVERNIGHT.

MON NW FLOW WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA BUT INSTEAD OF DRIVING THE
FRONT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CWA IT ACTUALLY LOSES ITS IDENTITY
AND RETURN FLOW FINALLY STARTS TO SET BACK UP. THE MID LEVEL
DISTURBANCE WILL HAVE PUSHED THROUGH ENDING JUST ABOUT ALL RAIN
CHANCES EARLY MON MORNING. TUE WILL LIKELY REMAIN QUIET BUT WITH NW
FLOW PROBABLY SENDING A WEAK IMPULSE INTO THE AREA AND THE ENERGY
OVER THE BAHA REGION STARTING TO PHASE BACK IN LIGHT SHRA COULD
DEVELOP ESPECIALLY AS THE MOISTURE INCREASES.

BETTER RAIN CHANCES LOOK TO RETURN EARLY WED AS ANOTHER FRONT
APPROACHES THE AREA. WITH NW FLOW CONTINUING IT WILL TRY TO DRIVE
ANOTHER COLD FRONT INTO THE AREA THIS FRONT LOOKS TO BE A LITTLE
STRONGER THAN THE ONE LATE SUN. ALSO THERE SHOULD BE MORE MOISTURE
TO WORK WITH AND SLIGHTLY BETTER INSTABILITY AND WITH THAT TSRA WILL
BE POSSIBLE. IT IS STILL A GOOD WAYS OUT THERE BUT THERE COULD BE A
FEW STRONG AND POSSIBLY AND ISLTD SEVERE OR TWO BUT I WILL HOLD OFF
ON MENTIONING ANYTHING IN THE HWO AT THIS TIME.

AS FOR CHANGES TO GUI I HAVE STUCK CLOSE TO THE MEX VALUES AND HAVE
MADE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES ANYWHERE IN THE FCST. /CAB/

.AVIATION...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE SPREADING ACROSS AREAS MAINLY
ALONG AND NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR THIS MORNING. EXPECT
ANY STORMS TO HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS... FREQUENT
LIGHTNING...AND GUSTY WINDS. AWAY FROM THIS ACTIVITY... CONDITIONS
WILL BE LARGE IFR TO MVFR THROUGH A COMBO OF LOW CLOUDS AND CEILINGS.
EXPECT AREAS OF RAIN AND EMBEDDED STORMS TO BE RATHER WIDESPREAD
ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION THROUGH AT LEAST THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY
TODAY. CONDITIONS WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AS A COLD FRONT SLOWLY SINKS SOUTH THROUGH THE
ARKLAMISS REGION. /19/

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS

DISTURBANCES MOVE ALONG AND AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THAT WILL DROP INTO
