AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
415 PM CDT MON JUN 9 2008

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...WEAKENED HIGH PRESSURE
AND A MORE ACTIVE SEA BREEZE IS PROVIDING GREATER COVERAGE OF STORMS
THIS AFTERNOON. MOST OF THE COVERAGE IS OVER OUR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES
AND THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE MOVING NORTH INTO THE CENTRAL
PORTIONS THIS EVENING. THIS ACTIVITY WILL GRADUALLY DISSIPATE AFTER
SUNSET BUT AN APPROACHING LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER ARKANSAS WILL
BEGIN MOVING INTO PORTIONS OF THE DELTA ABOUT THE SAME TIME. THE
ACTIVITY OVER ARKANSAS WAS DEVELOPING ALONG A SEMI STATIONARY
FRONTAL BOUNDARY AND AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH. THE
MODELS DIFFER CONSIDERABLY WITH THE AMOUNT OF ACTIVITY THAT WILL
SURVIVE INTO OUR CWA TONIGHT. THE GFS TAKES THE LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS OVER ARKANSAS SOUTH AS AN MCS WHILE THE LOCAL WRF RUNS
DISSIPATE THE THUNDERSTORMS AS THEY MOVE INTO OUR CWFA. THE 4KM WRF
AND NAM MAINTAIN MORE ACTIVITY ALONG THE LINE DEEPER INTO OUR CWA
TONIGHT. OUR WARM AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS CAME IN RATHER DRY THIS
MORNING WITH A PW NEAR AN INCH AND A QUARTER AND LITTLE DEEP LAYER
SHEAR IS EXPECTED OVER OUR AREA. ALTHOUGH WIDESPREAD SEVERE STORMS
ARE NOT EXPECTED...WL MENTION STRONG TO ISOLATED SEVERE IN THE HWO
FOR TONIGHT AND TUESDAY. THE UPPER TROUGH WILL SHIFT RAPIDLY EAST
TUESDAY LEAVING THE WEAKENING BOUNDARY STALLED ACROSS OUR NORTHERN
COUNTIES. DRIER AIR IS EXPECTED TO FILTER IN BEHIND THE BOUNDARY
OVER OUR DELTA REGION TONIGHT. THIS WILL LIKELY HINDER CONVECTION
TUESDAY BUT ELSEWHERE...DAYTIME HEATING WILL LEAD TO REDEVELOPMENT
OF ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE
BOUNDARY. A FEW ADDITIONAL STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE IN
THE MIX. HAVE GONE ABOVE MAV POPS IN THE SOUTH THROUGH THE PERIOD.
TEMPERATURES WERE CLOSE AND GENERALLY ACCEPTED. /22/

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY...THE WEAKENED BOUNDARY WILL
BE TO THE EAST OF THE CWFA ON WEDNESDAY.  THERE WILL STILL BE PLENTY
OF MOISTURE OVER THE AREA...ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH AND EAST WHERE
PWATS WILL BE AROUND 1.5-1.7 INCHES.  FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE
THAT THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA WILL BE CAPPED THROUGH THE DAY
ON WEDNESDAY. THIS SHOULD HAMPER ANY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ACTIVITY OVER THIS AREA.  THE CAP WILL NOT BE QUITE AS PRONOUNCED
OVER SOUTHERN AND ESPECIALLY EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE CWFA ON
WEDNESDAY...AND THESE LOCATIONS WILL BE CLOSER TO THE REMNANTS OF
THE BOUNDARY.  THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED ACTIVITY
FOR THIS PORTION OF THE CWFA WEDNESDAY. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY SHOULD
BE MAINLY DIURNALLY DRIVEN...SO THE AREA SHOULD SEE A DECREASE IN
ACTIVITY BY THE MID TO LATE EVENING HOURS WEDNESDAY. MOISTURE WILL
CONTINUE TO INCREASE OVER THE AREA ON THURSDAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT
APPROACHING BOUNDARY WITH PWATS RISING TO AROUND 1.7-1.8 INCHES.
THIS COMBINED WITH SLIGHTLY MORE INSTABILITY SHOULD ALLOW FOR MORE
SCATTERED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. HAVE REMAINED RATHER
CLOSE TO GUI FOR BOTH POPS AN TEMPS.  TEMPERATURES SHOULD PRETTY
MUCH BE IN THE LOWER 90S ON WEDNESDAY WITH LOWER 70S EXPECTED
WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

BEYOND THURSDAY THE FORECAST REMAINS PRETTY MUCH UNCHANGED AS THERE
WAS NO NEED TO GO AGAINST THE PREVIOUS FORECAST.  THIS PORTION OF
THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION IS ATTACHED. /14/

BY FRIDAY...MOISTURE WILL BE AROUND 2 INCHES AND SOUNDINGS SHOW
NEARLY 5500J OF CAPE ALONG I-20 AND AROUND 4000J ALONG HWY 82 AND
AROUND 5000J ALONG HWY 82. THE NEXT BOUNDARY APPROACHES THE AREA
FROM THE NORTH AROUND FRIDAY EVENING. MEANWHILE...MOISTURE AND A
WEAK BOUNDARY GET PUSHED NORTH INTO THE AREA SATURDAY. THE SYSTEMS
APPEAR TO MERGE ALONG I-20 AND REMAIN THE FOCUS FOR SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE CWA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE
EUROPEAN HAS A SIMILAR SOLUTION...SO HIGHER POPS TOWARD THE END OF
THE FORECAST LOOK OK. 850-700MB LAPSE RATES WERE AROUND 7 WED-THU.
BEING THE END OF THE WEEK WILL LEAVE THE HWO CLEAR. WILL CONTINUE TO
WATCH...BUT WITH TRANSITION INTO SUMMER...AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS
WITH A FEW STRONG STORMS WILL BE STATUS QUO FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
OTHERWISE...IT WILL REMAIN HOT AND HUMID ACROSS THE AREA. HIGHS WILL
REMAIN IN THE LOWER TO MID 90S...WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES REMAINING
BELOW 100 THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND. /07/

&&

.AVIATION...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE TO THE NORTH ACROSS
THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE AREA THIS EVENING AND INTO THE CENTRAL
PORTIONS. THESE STORMS WILL WEAKEN AFTER SUNSET...BUT AN APPROACHING
LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER ARKANSAS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BEGIN MOVING
INTO PORTIONS OF THE NORTHWEST BY 03Z. THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE
IN THE NORTH THROUGH 06Z AND GRADUALLY WEAKEN THEREAFTER. MVFR TO
IFR VISIBILITIES AND CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE AREA BY 10Z...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT RECEIVE
RAIN THIS EVENING. DRIER AIR MAY LIMIT CONVECTION IN THE NORTHWEST
TUESDAY BUT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP DURING
THE DAY ELSEWHERE. /22/

BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS. A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER
WESTERN ARKANSAS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE MOVING EAST DURING THE
