AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1059 AM CDT WED JUN 25 2008

.UPDATE...ISOLATED CONVECTION WAS DEVELOP ACROSS THE SOUTHWESTERN
ZONES EARLY ALREADY. STILL LOOKS LIKE THE LINGERING BOUNDARY OVER THE
NORTHERN GULF WILL MOVE INLAND THROUGH THE DAY. IN THE MEANTIME...
LIGHT SOUTHERLY WINDS CONTINUE AROUND THE CWA...WITH DEWPOINTS NEAR
70 AT MOST SITES. LOOKING FOR TYPICAL DIURNAL ACTIVITY TO DEVELOP BY EARLY
AFTERNOON. SOUNDINGS SHOW GOOD LAPSE RATES FROM 850-700 MB. OF COURSE
MOISTURE IS BETTER SOUTH...BUT PW VALUES AROUND JAN WERE STILL ABOUT
1.5IN. WILL CONTINUE ISOLATED SEVERE WORDING IN THE HWO FOR THE
ENTIRE AREA...THERE WAS THE POTENTIAL FOR MICROBURST ACTIVITY IN ALL
QUADS...SLIGHTLY LOWER TO THE NORTHWEST WHERE MOISTURE MAY BE A
LITTLE LESS. WITH ALL OF THE SAID...DID NOT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO
THE CURRENT FORECAST. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED POPS WERE GOOD. TEMPS
WERE OK.

&&

.AVIATION...ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WERE DEVELOPING AROUND THE AREA
EARLY...HEZ AND MAYBE TVR WILL SEE THE IMPACTS OVER THE NEXT HOUR OR
TWO. OTHERWISE...WILL MAINTAIN VCTS AT ALL SITES THROUGH THE EARLY
AFTERNOON. MAY HAVE TO ADJUST THE TIMING FOR POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS
AT EACH SITE. RIGHT NOW...HBG MAY SEE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY BY 18Z.
JAN MAY SEE A FEW SHOWERS IN THE AREA ALSO BY 18Z. FOR THE REST OF
THE AREA WILL MAINTAIN LATE AFTERNOON ACTIVITY...GENERALLY DEVELOPING
AROUND 21Z. BEYOND 03Z...MAY HOLD ON TO VCSH FOR LINGERING SHOWERS
THRU 6Z. WILL ALSO MAINTAIN PATCHY FOG FROM AROUND 9Z-12Z. THE
SCENARIO WILL LIKELY BE THE SAME FOR THURSDAY...WITH STORMS
DEVELOPING EARLY ACROSS THE SOUTH AND MOVING NORTH THROUGH THE
MORNING AND AFTERNOON.
