447 PM CDT SUN JUL 27 2008

...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 600 PM CDT FOR
LEAKE...MADISON AND SCOTT COUNTIES...

AT 443 PM CDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGIST CONTINUED TO
INDICATE A THUNDERSTORM PRODUCING FLASH FLOODING.  THIS STORM WAS 
GROWING IN SIZE NEAR LUDLOW AND EXPANDING WESTWARD TOWARD INTO THE 
SHARON AREA...WHILE MOVING EAST AT 5 MPH.

OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE WARNING INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO
TUSCOLA...HARPERVILLE AND STEELE

ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 3 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE IN THE 
WARNED AREA...AND POINTS JUST NORTH OF LUDLOW HAVE LIKELY ALREADY 
HAD 2 TO 3 INCHES SINCE 3 PM.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
345 PM CDT SUN JUL 27 2008

.DISCUSSION...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE
THAT WAS MOVING EAST ACROSS THE MID SOUTH REGION EARLIER...HAS BEGUN
DIVING SOUTHEAST DOWN THE BACKSIDE OF AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH.  A
THETA-E RIDGE ALSO EXISTS OVER AN AREA THAT ROUGHLY ENCOMPASSES MUCH
OF THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA.  THIS IS WHERE ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED CONVECTION IS ALSO LOCATED THIS AFTERNOON.  BECAUSE THIS
ACTIVITY IS ROOTING ITSELF WITHIN THIS RICHER THETA-E AIR
(350-360K)...ITS ABLE TO MAINTAIN ITSELF BETTER AND IN MANY CASES
INTENSIFY...ALTHOUGH BRIEFLY. SOME STRONG...TO POTENTIALLY ISOLATED
SEVERE...STORMS ARE POSSIBLE WITH STRONG TO DAMAGING WINDS BEING THE
MAIN CONCERN...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HAIL ALSO PRESENT.

THROUGH OUT THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING...THIS
DISTURBANCE SHOULD CONTINUE TO TRACK TO THE SOUTHEAST AND SLOWLY
BEGIN TO WEAKEN IN INTENSITY AS WE BEGIN LOSING DAYTIME HEATING.
IT SHOULD AFFECT LOCATIONS MAINLY ALONG AND EAST OF A GREENWOOD TO
CARTHAGE TO QUITMAN LINE...WHICH IS WHERE THE BEST POPS WILL BE
PAINTED THIS EVENING.

MOST LOCATIONS WILL SEE MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES TONIGHT...BUT SOME HIGH
CLOUDS WILL BE LEFT OVER IN THE EAST AND NORTHEAST AS A RESULT OF
THE DISTURBANCE.  WITH THE WARMER TEMPERATURES ALOFT AND BASED ON
LOWS FROM LAST NIGHT...IVE UPPED LOW TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES IN
MOST PLACES WEST OF INTERSTATE 55 TONIGHT.  EAST OF INTERSTATE
55...BECAUSE OF ITS LOOKING LIKE THIS AREA WILL RECEIVE SOME
RAINFALL BEFORE THE DAY IS OUT...ILL STAY A LITTLE CLOSER TO
GUIDANCE.

ANOTHER SCORCHER LOOKS TO BE ON TAP FOR MONDAY AS THE UPPER RIDGE TO
THE WEST BUILDS FURTHER EAST INTO THE FORECAST AREA.  THIS...COUPLED
WITH THE WARMER AND DRIER AIR ALOFT...SHOULD REALLY LIMIT CLOUD
COVER LET ALONE CONVECTION OVER THE CWA.  I FEEL LIKE GUIDANCE AGAIN
CAME IN TOO LOW WITH ADVERTISED HIGHS...AND THUS IVE OPTED TO RAISE
TEMPERATURES MONDAY AFTERNOON IN MOST AREAS.  LOOK FOR MOST
LOCATIONS...ESPECIALLY WEST OF INTERSTATE 55...TO SEE HIGHS AGAIN
RIGHT AROUND TO JUST ABOVE THE CENTURY MARK.  FOR AREAS EAST OF
INTERSTATE 55...JUST AS WE SAW TODAY...HIGHS WILL GREATLY DEPEND ON
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVER THE AREA.  STILL...HEAT INDICES SHOULD ONCE
AGAIN AVERAGE BETWEEN 104-109 AS DEW POINTS MIX OUT IN THE UPPER 60S
AND LOWER 70S.  THIS WILL ALLOW A HEAT ADVISORY TO REMAIN IN EFFECT
THROUGH AT LEAST MONDAY.

THE GFS DOES BRING A GOOD BIT OF LOW LEVEL GULF MOISTURE BACK INTO
THE CWA TUESDAY AFTERNOON AS THE LOW LEVEL FLOW BECOMES MORE
SOUTHERLY.  THIS COULD LEAD TO SLIGHTLY BETTER RAIN CHANCES ACROSS
AREAS MAINLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 20 TUESDAY AFTERNOON.  HOT HUMID
CONDITIONS THOUGH WILL STILL BE THE MAIN WEATHER STORY DURING THAT
TIME.

AFTER TUESDAY...ALL ASPECTS OF THE PREVIOUS FORECAST WERE KEPT
UNCHANGED. THEREFORE THE PREVIOUS LONG TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION
FOLLOWS. /19/

WEDNESDAY THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY...WED AND THU I HAVE MADE SOME
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN RESPECT TO THE LATEST MEX GUI(THE BIGGEST
CHANGES ON WED). LIKE YESTERDAY THE MEX SEEMED TOO COOL WITH HIGHS
ON WED. THE GFS IS PRONE TO TRYING TO COOL THINGS OFF TOO QUICK BUT
THIS TIME IT IS ALSO A LOT WETTER WHICH EXACERBATES THE ISSUE. THERE
IS THIS LOW LEVEL FEATURE...WHICH WOULD ACTUALLY BE REMNANTS OF
YESTERDAYS CONVECTION...OVER THE NRN GULF. BY EARLY WED MORNING THE
GFS TRIES TO PUSH THIS FEATURE NORTH BACK INTO THE AREA ALONG WITH A
SURGE OF GULF MOISTURE. THIS IS CAUSING THE MDL TO PRODUCE
WIDESPREAD SHRA AND TSRA AND IS THE FIRST TIME THE GFS HAS SHOWN
THIS FEATURE. IN ADDITION TO THAT IT IS ALSO TRYING TO BRING THE
REMNANTS OF DOLLY INTO THE AREA FROM THE NW. I AM NOT QUITE BITING
ON THIS SOLN. THE ECMWF IS MUCH DRIER AND QUITE A BIT WARMER SO I
WILL STICK CLOSER TO IT. THIS WILL CAUSE ME TO LOWER POPS BY 20-30%
OVER MOST OF THE AREA AND ALSO RAISE HIGHS BY AS MUCH AS 10 DEGREES
IN SOME LOCATIONS. THE MEX(OP RUN) IS THE LOW MEMBER OF THE ENSEMBLE
GUI FOR HIGHS AND THE HIGH MEMBER FOR POPS. AS A MATTER OF FACT THE
ENSEMBLE MEAN IS ACTUALLY ON AVERAGE 6 DEGREES ABV THE MEX SO THIS
MAKES ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT GOING 8-10 DEGREES WARMER. THIS BASICALLY
GIVES ME NEAR 100 DEGREES IN THE NW AND MID/UPPER 90S IN THE SE. IF
THE ECMWF IS CORRECT THEN THESE TEMPS ARE LIKELY TOO COOL AND WED
COULD BE ANOTHER DAY OF WIDESPREAD 100 DEGREE READINGS. THU SOME OF
THE SAME PROBLEMS ARISE AS THE GFS HAS A GOOD BIT OF CONVECTION
AGAIN AND SEEMS A LITTLE TOO COOL WITH THE LL TEMPS. THE RIDGE
SHOULD START TO RETROGRADE SO I CAN SEE SOME BETTER RAIN CHANCES AND
THIS IS SHOWN BY BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF. THAT SAID THE MEX GUI STILL
SEEMS TO BE WAY TOO COOL AND WITH H85 TEMPS PROBABLY AROUND 20-21C
HIGHS OF 95-99 SHOULD BE PRETTY GOOD.

HEADING INTO FRI AND THE WEEKEND...THERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT
THE EXTENT OF THE MID LEVEL RIDGE/LOCATION OF THE ERN CONUS TROUGH.
THE CONCERN...AND THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR THE LAST FEW WEEKS...IS
HOW FAR EAST WILL THE RIDGE BUILD. THE ECMWF HAS A PRETTY STOUT
RIDGE BUILDING ACROSS THE CNTRL CONUS WITH ITS INFLUENCE EXTENDING
WELL EAST AND THE TROUGH ONLY OVER THE FAR NE STATES. THIS WOULD
SUGGEST PRETTY WARM(HOT) AND MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS. THE GFS ON THE
OTHER HAND DOES BUILD A PRETTY GOOD RIDGE OVER THE PLAINS BUT TRIES
TO KEEP TROUGHING A GOOD BIT FURTHER EAST RESULTING IN BETTER RAIN
CHANCES AND NOT QUITE AS WARM LL TEMPS. I WILL USE A COMPROMISE FOR
FRI AND STICK CLOSE TO THE ENSEMBLE GUI VALUES. SAT AND SUN I WILL
JUST GO WITH THE MEX UNTIL THE MDLS HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF HOW STRONG
AND FAR EAST THE RIDGE WILL BUILD WHICH WILL BE THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN LOWER TO MID 90S AND POSSIBLE 100S AGAIN. /CAB/

.AVIATION...QUITE A BIT MORE THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE IS OCCURING THIS
AFTERNOON THAN EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL
PORTIONS  OF THE AREA. GWO SHOULD SEE A THUNDERSTORM WITH VCTY
THUNDERSTORMS AT MEI...JAN AND HBG. THIS ACTIVITY WILL DISSIPATE
DURING THE EARLY EVENING HOURS AND MOST SITES SHOULD BE VFR AGAIN BY
01Z. VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL AREAWIDE OVERNIGHT ALTHOUGH MVFR
CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP IN THE NORTH CENTRAL PORTIONS BETWEEN 03Z AND
11Z WHERE HEAVY RAIN FELL. /22/
