NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Mar 4, 7:04 AM CST, 2 hours 55 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 4, 7:04 AM CST, 2 hours 55 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
704 AM CST TUE MAR 4 2008

.UPDATE...MADE A MINOR WORDING ADJUSTMENT TO ZONE PACKAGE FOR MORE
WIDESPREAD DRIZZLE/SPRINKLES THROUGH CENTRAL AND SRN MS AS UPPER
TROUGH AXIS ACROSS CENTRAL AND NRN LA ROTATING EWD NOW GIVING US
A FEW RADAR RETURNS. LIGHT SNOW MIXTURE STILL SPINNING TOWARD THE
UPPER DELTA REGION DURING THE NEXT 2-3 HOURS AS WELL. NO OTHER
CHANGES TO FORECAST PACKAGE AND PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOLLOWS:/40/

DISCUSSION...SHORT TERM(TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY) WHEW...NOW THAT WE
MADE THROUGH THE PAST 24 HOURS...COLD AIR WILL RULE FOR A DAY AS
STRONG MID LEVEL CYCLONE OVER THE ARKLATEX MOVES NEWD INTO THE OH
VALLEY. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE SOME LIGHT WRAP AROUND MIXED
PRECIPITATION OCCURRING IN SWRN AR AND STILL IS POSSIBLE FOR PORTIONS
OF NW MS/SERN AR FROM ABOUT UNTIL ABOUT 16Z THIS MORNING BEFORE
COMPLETELY ENDING. STRONG CAA WILL SEND TEMPS INTO THE U30S IN THE
DELTA REGION SHORTLY AND NOT EXPECTING LOW CLOUD DECK TO BEGIN
LEAVING THE AREA UNTIL THIS EVENING. MUCH OF THE CWFA WILL STRUGGLE
IN THE 40S ALL DAY WITH SRN PORTIONS POKING BACK ABOVE 50F FOR A FEW
HOURS. WIND CHILL READINGS WILL STAY IN THE 30S FOLLOWING MONDAY/S
HIGHS THAT HIT THE MID TO UPPER 70S 850MB TEMPS OF 0C TO -4C IN A
THERMAL TROUGH LIFTS EWD OUT OF THE CWFA EARLY TONIGHT FOLLOWED BY A
DECENT WARMUP TO 5-7C READINGS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. OVERALL...MAV MOS
ADJUSTED MAINLY FOR TODAY WITH COOLER SURFACE TEMPS WITH NEAR
FREEZING LOWS EARLY ON WEDNESDAY. READINGS RECOVER WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON TO JUST SHORT OF CLIMATOLOGY 60S AT MOST LOCATIONS.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL SWING ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PLAINS...CAUSING A WEAK SURFACE LOW AND TRAILING COLD FRONT TO
DEVELOP OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. THIS TROUGH WILL
FORCE THE COLD FRONT THROUGH THE AREA ON THURSDAY PRODUCING SLIGHT
RAIN CHANCES MAINLY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS AND OVER WRN
PORTIONS OF THE CWFA. ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE IN THE 300-310K LAYERS
SERVE TO HELP BRING CONDENSATION PRESSURE DEFICITS TO NEAR 3MB AND
SHOULD BE ENOUGH ALONG THE BOUNDARY FOR SOME LIGHT RAINS. TEMPS WILL
BEGIN SLIDING DOWNHILL ONCE AGAIN THURSDAY AFTERNOON WITH HIGHS ONLY
IN THE 50S ACROSS THE DELTA WHILE A FINAL DAY OF 60S IS SEEN ALONG
AND SE OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE PARKWAY./40/

LONG TERM(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)...A SHIFT BACK TO WINTER
APPEARS TO BE POSSIBLE FOR THE WEEKEND AS A LARGE AND ANOMALOUS E
CONUS UPPER TROUGH MAY TAKE SHAPE. BY THU NIGHT...THE ARE WILL SEE A
SFC COLD FRONT PUSH INTO THE AREA WHILE A POTENT S/W LIFTS ACROSS THE
AREA. RAIN CHANCES WILL BE QUITE HIGH AS STRONG ASCENT SPREADS OVER
THE REGION AND TAPS INTO SOME GULF MOISTURE AND A SFC LOW TAKES SHAPE
IN THE NORTHERN GULF. AT THIS TIME...I WILL ONLY MENTION LIQUID
PRECIP...BUT THERE IS SOME OUTSIDE CHANCE THAT THIS COULD BE SNOW
ACROSS A PORTION OF THE CWA. THAT WILL HIGHLY DEPEND ON IF DEEPER
COLD AIR CAN MAKE A STRONG SOUTHERN PUSH AND JUST HOW POTENT THE
UPPER S/W WILL BE AS IT SWINGS ACROSS THE CWA.

BY FRI AFTERNOON INTO FRI NIGHT...THE SFC LOW WILL SHIFT TO THE E
COAST AND INTENSIFY AS THE LARGE UPPER TROUGH TAKES SHAPE. THIS WILL
HELP TO DRAW SOUTH EVEN COLDER CANADIAN AIR AND KEEP CONDITIONS QUITE
A BIT BELOW CLIMO. THE LATEST GUID HAS COME IN COLDER AND IS AT THE
LOW END OF THE ENSEMBLE ENVELOP. I HAVE TWEAKED TEMPS SOME...BUT
STAYED A BIT CONSERVATIVE UNTIL RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY EXISTS.

THE AREA WILL SEE SOME MODIFICATION BY EARLY NEXT WEEK AND BACK TO
NEAR NORMAL CONDITIONS./36/

&&

.AVIATION...MOSTLY MVFR CEILINGS ALONG AND S OF I-20 WITH IFR
CEILINGS TO THE N WILL CONTINUE AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE HOLDS TOUGH IN
STRONG CAA PATTERN TODAY. CONDITIONS SHOULD BEGIN IMPROVING FROM SW
TO NE AFTER 22Z THIS AFTERNOON WITH BROKEN CLOUD LAYERS ERODING BY
AROUND SUNSET. WINDS OF 10-18KTS FROM WNW EXPECTED UNTIL 00Z WHEN
THEY BACK AROUND TO W AND DIMINISH TO LESS THAN 5 KTS. SOME MVFR
PATCHY GROUND FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE AFTER 09Z WEDNESDAY./40/
