AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1035 AM CDT TUE SEP 2 2008

.UPDATE...HAVE UPDATED TORNADO WATCH TO INCLUDE KEMPER...LAUDERDALE
AND CLARK COUNTIES...

LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS REMNANTS OF GUSTAV SPINNING OVER
NORTHWEST LOUISIANA. SPIRAL BANDS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION
FOR THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY WINDS...HEAVY RAINS AND
SOME ISOLATED TORNADOES. FOR THIS MORNING THE TORNADO RISK HAS BEEN
AN ISSUE FOR OUR EASTERN COUNTIES. SO WILL CONTINUE CURRENT LAKE
WIND AND WIND ADVISORIES ACROSS THE REGION...BUT HAVE EXTENDED TIMING
OF WIND ADVISORY IN THE WEST TO MATCH LAKE WIND ADVISORY...WHICH
EXPIRES AT 4 PM. WILL KEEP CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH AREA. OTHERWISE
HAVE PUT 100 POPS ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION. KEPT CURRENT HIGHS.
OTHERWISE THE REST OF FORECAST APPEARS TO BE ON TRACK./17/

&&

.AVIATION...RAIN WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY. THE
HEAVIEST RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT HBG THROUGH  THE SHORT TERM.
BEYOND 18Z...RAIN HEAVY RAIN WILL SPREAD INTO MEI/GTR AND GWO.
VISIBILITIES MAY BE BRIEFLY BE REDUCED TO A MILE IN THESE AREAS.
WILL MAINTAIN MVFR CONDITION IN THE PREVAILING GROUP AND WORSENING
CONDITIONS IN THE TEMPO GROUPS. LOOKING FOR PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN TO
CONTINUE FROM 18 THROUGH ABOUT 3Z. GUSTAV WAS NOT MOVING VERY FAST
TO THE NORTHWEST. LIGHT RAIN WILL CONTINUE AT ALL SITES...WITH THE
HEAVY RAIN SHIFTING INTO GLH/JAN AROUND 00Z...MAYBE A LITTLE EARLIER
AND CONTINUING THROUGH 6Z. AFTER 6Z...WILL MAINTAIN LIGHT RAIN AT
ALL SITES THROUGH 12Z. MAY GO WITH VCSH FOR MEI/GTR/HBG AFTER 12Z.
HOWEVER...LIGHT RAIN WILL LIKELY CONTINUE AT THE REST OF THE SITES
THROUGH THE PERIOD. WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BLOW FROM 10 TO 20 KTS AT
MOST LOCATIONS...WITH GUSTS NEAR 30 THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. TVR/HEZ
WILL EXPERIENCE THE STRONGEST WINDS WITH SPEEDS AROUND 25KT AND
GUSTS NEAR 35KTS. TVR/HEZ WILL CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE GUSTY WINDS
NEAR 20KTS FROM 00-6Z. SPEEDS AROUND THE REST OF THE AREA WILL
REMAIN FROM 10 TO 20 KTS THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS.
WILL MAINTAIN AT LEAST 10-15KTS AFTER 00Z AT ALL FORECAST SITES
THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD.

7

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED AT 343 AM CDT.

SHORT TERM...THE FOCUS FOR THE SHORT TERM CONTINUES TO BE ON
TROPICAL STORM GUSTAV. CURRENTLY THE CENTER OF GUSTAV IS LOCATED
BETWEEN KPOE AND KIER AND GRADUALLY MOVING TO THE NNW.  THE CURRENT
FORECAST FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER BRINGS GUSTAV SLOWLY
NORTHWEST TO REACH JUST SOUTHWEST OF THE ARKLATEX FOR THIS EVENING.
GUSTAV IS GRADUALLY WEAKENING AS IT MOVES THROUGH WEST LOUISIANA AND
IS NOW ABOUT 991MB.

GUSTAV IS EXPECTED TO MOVE VERY SLOWLY AND REMAIN TO OUR WEST
THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. THIS IS EXPECTED TO BRING RAIN TO THE
ARKLAMISS REGION OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. PWATS WELL OVER 2.0
INCHES WILL PROVIDE PLENTY OF MOISTURE. WITH RAIN THAT HAS FALLEN
ALREADY GIVING SOAKED GROUNDS...THERE WILL CONTINUE TO EXIST THE
POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING OVER AT LEAST THE SOUTHWESTERN 2/3 OF
THE CWFA.  THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE CONTINUED THROUGH THIS
EVENING AS A RESULT. THIS WATCH WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE EXTENDED FOR
PORTIONS OF THE CWFA. WILL LET LATER SHIFTS MONITOR THIS POTENTIAL
TO PINPOINT THE AREA THAT WILL MOST LIKELY NEED THE WATCH.

WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE GUSTY ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS REGION THROUGH
THE DAY. SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE PRETTY MUCH REMAINED BELOW 20KTS THE
PAST FEW HOURS ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWFA...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MAYBE
THE EXTREME SOUTHWEST WHERE SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REACH
UP TO AROUND 25-30KTS.  WINDS HAVE PRIMARILY BEEN GUSTING TO ABOUT
20-30KTS...WITH THE OCCASIONAL 35-40KTS.  BELIEVE THE SUSTAINED
WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN BETWEEN 10-15 KTS WITH LOCATIONS
ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST POSSIBLY SEEING AROUND 20-25KTS SUSTAINED
DURING THE DAY...WITH CONTINUED GUSTS OF AROUND 20-30 KTS...THE
SOUTHWEST SEEING HIGHER GUSTS. WITH WEAKER SUSTAINED WINDS
EXPECTED THE INLAND TROPICAL STORM WIND WARNING WILL BE ALLOWED TO
EXPIRE. WINDS WILL BE FALLING SHORT OF CRITERIA FOR WIND ADVISORIES
EVERYWHERE EXCEPT THE SOUTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA. SO WILL BE
PUTTING THE SOUTHWESTERN CORNER OF THE CWFA UNDER A WIND ADVISORY
AND WILL PUT THE REST OF THE CWFA UNDER A LAKE WIND ADVISORY FOR
TODAY.

THE POSSIBILITY OF TORNADOES ALSO CONTINUES FOR PORTIONS OF THE CWFA
TODAY.  THIS WILL ESPECIALLY BE OVER LOCATIONS MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH
OF THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR WITH BETTER MOISTURE LOCATED OVER THIS
AREA. THE TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM THIS MORNING FOR
SOUTH CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE CWFA. BELIEVE THE TORNADO RISK WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY FOR THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWFA AS THE
AREA WARMS.

TEMPERATURES WILL AGAIN BE A LITTLE COOLER TODAY.  LOWER 80S CAN BE
EXPECTED ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWFA WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER IN
THE MIDDLE 80S EXPECTED OVER THE EXTREME NORTHEAST.  CONTINUED CLOUD
COVER AND RAIN WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES DOWN AS WE EXPERIENCED OVER
THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWFA YESTERDAY.  TEMPERATURES WILL BE
SLIGHTLY WARMER ON WEDNESDAY...BUT NOT MUCH WARMER WITH THE EFFECTS
OF THE REMNANTS OF GUSTAV HANGING OVER AT LEAST THE WESTERN PORTIONS
OF THE CWFA.  HAVE REMAINED WITH MAV GUI OVER THE EASTERN PORTIONS
OF THE AREA FOR BOTH DAYS...BUT HAVE LOWERED BY A DEGREE OR TWO OVER
THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA.  LOW TEMPERATURES FOR TONIGHT
LOOKED REASONABLE WITH LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S EXPECTED. /14/

LONG TERM...THE LONG TERM AFTER THU SEEMS MOSTLY INSIGNIFICANT BUT
EYES WILL BE TURNING TWRDS THE TROPICS ONCE AGAIN. THE MDLS
GENERALLY AGREE THAT THE REMNANTS OF GUSTAV WILL FINALLY START TO
PULL OUT OF THE ARKLATEX REGION ON THU. AFTER THAT RAIN CHANCES WILL
DECREASE SIGNIFICANTLY BUT THERE SHOULD BE MORE THAN ENOUGH MOISTURE
IN THE ATMOSPHERE TO HELP GET ISLTD ACTIVITY OFF AND ON. THROUGHOUT
THE EXTENDED I WILL GENERALLY STICK WITH THE GUI VALUES...THE ONLY
EXCEPTION WILL BE WED NIGHT AND THU WHERE I WILL GO ABOUT 10% OR SO
ABV GUI POPS ACROSS THE WEST AND EVEN CNTRL PORTIONS OF THE CWA.

THE MAIN CONCERN IN THE EXTENDED(AT THIS TIME) IS THU. IT LOOKS LIKE
IT WILL BE ANOTHER WET DAY AS A BAND OF SHRA AND ISLTD TSRA DEVELOP.
THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES B/T THE MDLS AS TO WHERE THIS WILL N-S
BAND OF RAIN WILL OCCUR BUT IT IS BEGINNING TO LOOK MORE LIKELY
ACROSS THE WRN HALF OF THE CWA. THIS BAND COULD BRING ANOTHER 1-2
INCHES OF RAIN OVER THE NW AND EXACERBATE ANY FLOODING ISSUES THAT
MAY BE OUT THERE FROM TUE AND WED RAINS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR
THIS AND IF THE FFA IS EXTENDED INTO WED IT MAY HAVE TO BE EXTENDED
FURTHER INTO THU FOR A FEW AREAS. A LOT WILL DEPEND ON WHAT HAPPENS
OVER THE NEXT 24-36 HRS AND WHERE THIS BAND OF RAIN DEVELOPS ON THU
WHICH IS UNCERTAIN.

AFTER THU WE WILL MOVE INTO WEAK SWRLY FLOW WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO
ALLOW FOR LIGHT SHRA AND MAYBE A FEW TSRA TO DEVELOP EACH DAY BUT
THE RISK OF HEAVY RAIN WILL BE OVER. OF NOTE...EVEN THOUGH TROPICAL
DEPRESSION GUSTAV AND ITS REMNANTS WILL AFFECT US FOR THE NEXT 60
HRS WE WILL STILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE OUT IN THE ATLANTIC AS
TROPICAL STORM IKE IS FORECAST TO APPROACH THE BAHAMAS AND IT LOOKS
LIKE IT WILL HAVE A SHOT OF GETTING INTO THE GULF. /CAB/

526 AM CDT TUE SEP 2 2008

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR MOST OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI AS WELL AS A GOOD PORTION OF THE DELTA ALONG WITH
SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THE OUTER BANDS OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION GUSTAVE WILL ROTATE NORTHWARD
ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. THESE BANDS WILL BRING THE POTENTIAL FOR
TORNADOES FROM THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING. THE NATURE OF THE
EVENT SUGGESTS THERE WILL BE NUMEROUS ROTATING STORMS...ALL CAPABLE
OF PRODUCING TORNADOES. THE GREATEST RISK LOOKS TO BE WITHIN AND AREA
ALONG AND BETWEEN THE NATCHEZ TRACE TO NORTHERN MADISON COUNTY AND
SOUTHEAST ALONG A LINE FROM FOREST TO LAUREL. INSTABILITY AND WIND
SHEAR WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH WHERE A FEW TORNADOES MAY BE ON THE
STRONG SIDE.

HEAVY RAINFALL AND POSSIBLE FLOODING WILL BE AN ISSUE AS THESE
PERSISTENT RAIN BANDS ROTATE ACROSS THE AREA. MOST LOCATIONS WILL
SEE 1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN WITH AREAS THAT REMAIN FOCUSED WITHIN BANDS
POSSIBLY SEEING MORE THAN 4 INCHES THROUGH THIS EVENING.

WITH STRONG WINDS JUST OFF THE SURFACE AND AS SURFACE HEATING
OCCURS...WINDS WILL INCREASE TO AROUND 20 MPH WITH OCCASIONAL GUSTS
TO 30 MPH.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

AS THE REMNANTS OF GUSTAV LINGER...TORNADOES AND LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA ON
WEDNESDAY.

.SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...
THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...HAM RADIO OPERATORS...AND
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL IN SUPPORT OF SEVERE WEATHER
OPERATIONS...WILL BE NEEDED THROUGH THIS EVENING.

.SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...
THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...HAM RADIO OPERATORS...AND
