AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1000 AM CDT TUE APR 22 2008

.DISCUSSION...

UPDATE: BASED ON LATEST OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS AND ANALYSES...HAVE
OPTED TO INCREASE POPS GENERALLY ALONG AND WEST OF THE HWY 49
CORRIDOR. AREA SOUNDINGS REVEAL STEEP LAPSE RATES ASSOC WITH
ELEVATED MIXED LAYER AND BIG POTENTIAL FOR A LOT OF INSTABILITY AND
DOWNDRAFT CAPE LATER AS WE HEAT UP...SO HAVE ALSO INCREASED
CONDITIONAL DAMAGING WIND AND HAIL POTENTIAL IN HAZARD GRIDS. TRYING
TO ANTICIPATE CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IS PROBLEMATIC...BUT THE 12Z
NAM SEEMS TO FOLLOW LOCAL WRF RUNS IN PORTRAYING MCS DEVELOPMENT
OVER THE DELTA REGION BY EARLY AFTERNOON ALONG WEAK BOUNDARY IN NW
FLOW. GIVEN DEGREE OF DRY AIR IN MID LEVELS...EXPECT THAT COLD POOL
GENERATION COUPLED WITH NWRLY DEEP LAYER SHEAR VECTORS IN ABSENCE OF
STRONG LOW-LEVEL JET WILL ALLOW FOR QUICK SOUTHWARD PROPAGATION OF
THE SYSTEM. HOWEVER...MODELS SUGGEST THAT THE LOW-LEVEL JET WILL
INCREASE OVER CNTRL LA LATER THIS AFTN/EARLY EVENING AND THAT COULD
CAUSE THE SYSTEM TO HANG UP AND POSSIBLY ANCHOR OVER SW PORTIONS OF
THE FORECAST AREA. WILL KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THESE TRENDS SHOULD MCS
DEVELOP AS INDICATED BY SOME GUIDANCE. OVER ERN MS...BELIEVE DRY AIR
WILL BE TOO MUCH TO OVERCOME AND HAVE INDICATED A SHARP DROP-OFF IN
POPS THERE. FORECAST AND HAZARD GRIDS HAVE BEEN UPDATED AND SENT.
/EC/

IN TERMS OF AVIATION WEATHER...APPEARS THAT LOW STRATUS IS MIXING
OUT ALONG AND WEST OF THE MS RIVER AND DO NOT EXPECT IT WILL AFFECT
GLH AND JAN LATER THIS MORNING...BUT IFR CONDITIONS COULD DEVELOP BY
THIS AFTN SHOULD CONVECTION DEVELOP AS INDICATED ABOVE. /EC/

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...

SHORT TERM...THE WEATHER LOOKS TO GET A LITTLE MORE ACTIVE OVER THE
NEXT FEW DAYS. THAT SAID ONLY ISLTD TO SCT COVERAGE OF CONVECTION IS
EXPECTED AND HIGHS TEMPS WILL REMAIN WELL ABV NORMAL.

TODAY...WE WILL BEGIN MOSTLY CLEAR WHICH WILL ALLOW TEMPS TO WARM
QUICKLY AND THIS WILL HELP TO DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE. LL TEMPS
WILL BE UP THERE TODAY AND WITH H925 TEMPS OF 20-21C HIGHS SHOULD
HAVE NO PROBLEM GETTING INTO THE MID 80S ONCE AGAIN. THERE COULD
EVEN BE A FEW SPOTS INTO THE UPPER 80S. THE MDLS ARE NOT VERY
BULLISH WITH PRECIP ONCE AGAIN. THE GFS...NAM...AND ECMWF ALL
ACTUALLY SHOW THE MID LEVEL RIDGING BUILDING THROUGH THE DAY EVEN
THOUGH A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL BE ROUNDING THE RIDGE AXIS THIS AFTN.
ADDITIONALLY THE BEST FORCING SHOWN IN THE TROP...ALBEIT WEAK...WILL
ACTUALLY BE COMING THROUGH RATHER EARLY TODAY FROM THE WEST. NEITHER
OF THESE BODE WELL FOR WIDESPREAD CONVECTION. THERE WILL BE SOME
WEAK LL CONVERGENCE MAINLY ACROSS THE W AND NW...BUT ALSO MORE SO
EARLIER IN THE DAY THAN LATE THIS AFTN. WITH ALL OF THIS I FEEL THE
BEST CHANCE FOR CONVECTION WILL BE ALONG AND WEST OF THE MS RIVER
AND THEN ALONG THE HWY 82 CORRIDOR...BUT ISLTD CONVECTION IS
POSSIBLE ACROSS MOST OF THE CWA THIS AFTN. MAV VALUES ARE RATHER LOW
AGAIN AND I WILL INCREASE THESE VALUES SLIGHTLY ALONG THE RIVER AND
ACROSS THE NORTH BUT DUE TO LOW CONFIDENCE I WILL NOT GO NEARLY AS
HIGH AS I/WE HAVE BEEN GOING FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS.

AS FOR THE STRONG/SEVERE ASPECT I AM NOT OVERLY IMPRESSED WITH THE
RISK BUT DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY THAT WILL BE OVER THE AREA
I COULD EASILY SEE A FEW STORMS BECOME QUITE POTENT. THE WIND FIELD
WILL BE WEAK THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE ENVIRONMENT(AND WEAKENING
THROUGH THE AFTN) SO I DO NOT SEE THESE STORMS RETAINING PEAK
INTENSITY FOR A WHILE. ALSO WITH THE STEERING WINDS WEAKENING THIS
AFTN THESE STORMS SHOULD MOVE SLOWLY. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES OF 7-7.5
C/KM SUGGEST HAIL WILL BE THE PRIMARY RISK. STRONG TO DAMAGING WINDS
COULD ALSO BE A SMALL ISSUE WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS AS
MICROBURSTS/DOWNBURSTS COULD BE POSSIBLE(A LITTLE EARLY IN THE YEAR
BUT A QUICK CHECK AT THE MICROBURST CHECKLIST GIVES A 3 SUGGESTING
SOME MICROBURST POSSIBLE). THE BEST RISK FOR STRONG/SEVERE STORMS
WILL BE ACROSS THE EXTREME NW.

TONIGHT CONVECTION SHOULD QUICKLY COME TO AN END AS THE SUN GOES
DOWN WITH ALMOST ALL SHRA/TSRA GONE BY 2Z. BY TOMORROW ISLTD TO SCT
CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN ESPECIALLY AS THE WEAK COLD FRONT
THAT WE HAVE BEEN EXPECTING WILL BE IN OUR VICINITY. THE RIDGE AXIS
WILL BE RIGHT OVER THE AREA EARLY IN THE DAY AND THIS WILL HINDER
CONVECTION BUT BY AFTN IT SHOULD BE PUSHING FAR ENOUGH TO THE EAST
TO ALLOW ANOTHER WEAK DISTURBANCE TO SKIRT THE WRN FRINGES OF THE
CWA. IT WILL AGAIN BE ACROSS THE WEST THAT CONVECTION WILL HAVE THE
EASIEST CHANCE OF DEVELOPING. HIGHS WILL CONTINUE TO BE WARM WITH
MID AND TO UPPER 80S POSSIBLE ONCE AGAIN. /CAB/

LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS AND ENSEMBLES CONTINUE TO SHOW CHANCES OF RAIN
EACH DAY FOR THE LONG TERM PERIOD...AS A SERIES WEAK DISTURBANCES
PASS THROUGH THE SOUTHERN STREAM.

THE MEAN UPPER RIDGE WILL SHIFT TO THE EAST ON THURSDAY AS A SHORT
WAVE PUSHES TOWARD THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. A FRONT WILL
APPROACH THE REGION...BUT WILL BE PUSHED BACK TO THE NORTH ON
THURSDAY AS LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THE
SHORT WAVE WILL PASS OFF THE EAST ON THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. A
COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE REGION ON FRIDAY. THE EUROPEAN WAS A
LITTLE FASTER WITH BRINGING THE FRONT THROUGH THE REGION ON FRIDAY
NIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY...WHILE THE GFS AND ENSEMBLES BROUGHT THE
FRONT THROUGH BY SATURDAY EVENING. WENT WITH A COMPROMISE WITH BOTH
MODELS...AS THE EUROPEAN SEEMED A LITTLE FAST. THE GFS SEEMS A
LITTLE WETTER WITH THE SERIES OF DISTURBANCES COMING THROUGH THE
REGION OVER THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. LOOKING AT THE MEDIUM
RANGE MODELS THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME BIG DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE GFS
AND EUROPEAN MODELS...WHICH IS MOST NOTED EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE GFS
HAS THE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHWEST CONUS...WHILE THE EUROPEAN
MODEL HAD THE UPPER TROUGH CENTERED OVER THE MID TO UPPER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. BEFORE NEXT WEEK THERE WERE SOME LESS DIVERGENT
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE MODELS. THE ENSEMBLES WERE PRETTY MUCH ALL
OVER THE PLACE FOR THE LATER PART OF THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK WITH THE SHORT WAVE ENERGY.

AS FAR AS TEMPS ARE CONCERN MADE SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS TO MOS GUIDANCE
AND MEX TEMPS. HIGHS WILL BE FROM THE UPPER 70S TO THE LOWER 80S...
LOWS WILL RANGE FROM THE MIDDLE 50S TO THE LOWER 60S. MADE SLIGHT
ADJUSTMENTS TO MEX POPS. /17/

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS HAVE PERSISTED THROUGH THE NIGHT AND
SHOULD FOR THE MOST PART THROUGH THE REST OF THE MORNING. THERE WILL
BE TEMPO MVFR/IFR VISBIES AT A FEW LOCATIONS BEFORE SUNRISE BUT
AFTER THAT LOOK FOR VFR CONDITIONS UNTIL CONVECTION STARTS TO
DEVELOP LATE THIS MORNING. ISLTD TO SCT CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE
ALONG AND NW OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE PARKWAY WITH GLH AND GWO HAVING
THE GREATEST CHANCE OF SEEING THIS ACTIVITY. NOT ONLY WILL TSRA
BRING RESTRICTIONS IN BOTH CEILINGS AND VISBIES BUT THEY MAY ALSO
CONTAIN SOME HAIL. /CAB/

255 PM CDT TUE APR 22 2008

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI...
NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE OVER
WESTERN MISSISSIPPI...NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE MAIN RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE
ALONG AND WEST OF A LINE FROM WINONA TO MONTICELLO. HAIL TO QUARTER
SIZE AND DAMAGING WINDS TO 60 MPH WILL BE THE PRIMARY RISK WITH
SEVERE STORMS...ALTHOUGH THE MOST INTENSE STORMS COULD PRODUCE GOLF
BALL SIZED HAIL AND WIND GUSTS OF 70 TO 80 MPH.

A BAND OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDED FROM CENTRAL
ARKANSAS TO FAR NORTHWEST MISSISSIPPI AT MID AFTERNOON. THIS
ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTH ACROSS NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI AND
SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. THE ATMOSPHERE
AHEAD OF THIS COMPLEX OF STORMS IS VERY UNSTABLE...AND WILL SUPPORT
THE ACTIVITY REMAINING STRONG TO SEVERE. THE MOST INTENSE ACTIVITY
SHOULD BE ALONG AND WEST OF THE INTERSTATE 55 CORRIDOR WHERE THE AIR
IS MOST UNSTABLE. OTHER SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS MAY ALSO
DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE STORMS ACROSS MUCH OF NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...
SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS AND WESTERN MISSISSIPPI IN THE MOIST AND UNSTABLE
AIR ALREADY IN PLACE.

WHILE THE ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET...A FEW STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS MAY BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE NIGHT...MAINLY OVER
NORTHEAST LOUISIANA AND SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI...SOUTH OF INTERSTATE
20 AND WEST OF INTERSTATE 55. ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL
BE POSSIBLE AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY ALONG AND WEST OF INTERSTATE 55.

IN ADDITION TO THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
WILL BE POSSIBLE INTO TONIGHT. STORMS WILL BE SLOW MOVING AND COULD
DUMP GREATER THAN 2 INCHES OF RAIN IN AN HOUR. THIS COULD LEAD TO
MINOR FLOODING IN LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS...AS WELL AS THE
PONDING OF WATER ON AREA ROADS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY A CONCERN ALONG
THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND THOSE TRIBUTARIES THAT ARE HIGH OR IN
FLOOD DUE TO BACKWATER. THIS INCLUDES AREAS ALONG THE YAZOO...BIG
SUNFLOWER...AND BLACK RIVERS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

THE PROBABILITY FOR WIDESPREAD HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS LOW.

.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 THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
OTHERWISE...ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH NEXT MONDAY.
