AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
243 AM CST FRI FEB 22 2008
.SHORT TERM...HEAVIEST RAINFALL OVER THE ARKLAMISS SINCE 2006
OCCURRED YESTERDAY AND LAST NIGHT. JAN REPORTED OVER 3 INCHES IN 24
HRS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE DEC 30 OF 2006. FROM 06Z THE 21ST TO
08Z JAN HAD SHOWN 4.07.
TODAY...COLD FRONT IS ON THE MOVE AND WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA
QUICKLY WITH MAINLY JUST THE SE ZONES REMAINING AHEAD OF THE FRONT
UNTIL EARLY THIS AFTN. AFTER THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH WESTERLY WINDS
WILL START TO SHUT THE PRECIP DOWN SO THE ONLY AREA THAT COULD SEE A
DECENT CHANCE OF RAIN AFTER SUNRISE WOULD BE THE EXTREME SE.
TONIGHT AND THROUGH THE WEEKEND THINGS LOOK TO BE MUCH DRIER AND
PRETTY QUIET. SOME COOLER AIR WILL MOVE IN BEHIND OUR FRONT FRIDAY
BUT NOTHING MAJOR TEMPERATURE WISE AS TEMPS LOOK TO BE RIGHT AT OR
JUST BELOW NORMAL. ANOTHER DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE CENTRAL
PLAINS AND INTO THE MID MS VALLEY DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEKEND.
WITH PWS RIGHT AROUND .75 AND JUST ENOUGH LIFT MOVING INTO THE NRN
PORTIONS OF THE CWA A FEW SHOWERS COULD DEVELOP LATE SAT NIGHT/SUN
MORNING. /CAB/
.LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL
CONTROL OUR WEATHER TO START OUT THE WORK WEEK...BUT IT WILL SHIFT
EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA MONDAY ALLOWING SOUTHERLY FLOW TO RETURN
TO THE AREA. CLOUDS AND RAIN CHANCES WILL BE ON THE INCREASE LATE
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING...AND WILL REMAIN HIGH DURING THE
DAY TUESDAY...AS A STRONG COLD FRONT MAKES ITS RUN ON THE FORECAST
AREA...AND EVENTUALLY MOVES THROUGH.
BEHIND THE FRONT...AN IMPRESSIVE SURGE OF COLD DRY ARCTIC AIR WILL
INVADE THE REGION AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTHEAST INTO THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. GIVEN THE DOWN RIGHT COLD 850-925 MB
TEMPERATURES BEING FORECASTED OVER THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY...I CONTINUED THE TREND SET BY PREVIOUS SHIFTS AND CUT
GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES DURING THE ABOVE MENTIONED TIME FRAME.
ALSO...WITH TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO FALL BELOW THE FREEZING MARK
WEDNESDAY MORNING...AND WITH SOME WRAP AROUND MOISTURE PRESENT OVER
MAINLY PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI AT THAT
TIME...WE COULD SEE A FEW FLURRIES FALL ACROSS THOSE AREAS. NO
ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT OVER AND ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THURSDAY
INTO THURSDAY NIGHT...ALLOWING WEAK SOUTHERLY FLOW TO RETURN. THIS
WILL BRING A SLIGHT WARMING TREND TO THE REGION BY THE END OF THE
WEEK. /19/
&&
.AVIATION...MAIN CONCERN THIS MORNING CONVECTION IN THE EAST AND
CEILINGS JUST ABOUT EVERYWHERE. THE RAIN FOR THE MOST PART HAS
FINISHED IN THE NW BUT LOW CEILINGS...LIFR/IFR...WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH A GOOD PORTION OF THE MORNING. ACROSS MEI AND HBG CONVECTION
WILL BE AN ISSUE. THIS WILL HELP CEILINGS AND VISBIES FALL INTO IFR
STATUS AT TIMES WITH LOW CEILINGS TAKING OVER AFTER THE FRONT MOVES
THROUGH. THINGS WILL BEGIN TO IMPROVE ACROSS THE NW AROUND B/T 15
AND 18Z AS CEILINGS SHOULD RISE TO MVFR STATUS. LOCATIONS TO THE
SOUTH AND EAST WILL FOLLOW SUIT DURING THE DAY. /CAB/
