AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1045 AM CDT FRI JUN 27 2008

.DISCUSSION...COULD BE ANOTHER INTERESTING DAY TODAY FOR CONVECTION.
WITH THE LACK OF WIDESPREAD CONVECTION YESTERDAY THE ATMOSPHERE
REALLY DIDNT GET WORKED OVER TOO MUCH. MOISTURE IS SLIGHTLY BETTER
THAN YESTERDAY AS WELL...ESPECIALLY IN THE LOWER LEVELS WHERE IT
LOOKS LIKE DEWPOINTS WILL LIKELY REMAIN IN THE UPPER 60S(INSTEAD OF
DROPPING INTO THE MID TO LOWER 60S LIKE YESTERDAY). TEMPERATURES ARE
WARMING UP FAST WITH MID 80S ALREADY ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA. WV
SHOWS AND AREA OF LIFT/ENHANCEMENT OVER CNTRL MS AND THIS COULD COME
INTO PLAY PRETTY SOON. ALSO THE RUC IS SHOWING SOME COLD POCKETS
WORKING SOUTH INTO THE CWA. THIS IS HAVING AN EFFECT ON THE AREA AS
IT IS KEEPING OUR LAPSE RATES FROM IMPROVING LIKE PREVIOUSLY
THOUGHT. LOCAL SNDGS SHOW VT AGAIN IN THE 27-28 RANGE ACROSS MOST OF
THE ARKLAMISS AND THIS IS STILL PRETTY GOOD. WET MICROBURST
CHECKLIST ONCE AGAIN SHOWS A DECENT RISK FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS
ESPECIALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF I 20. THE SOUTH LAPSE RATES WILL NOT
BE QUITE AS STEEP AND CONVECTION MAY FIRE A LITTLE TOO QUICKLY WHICH
WOULD HURT OVER ALL INSTABILITY AS THIS AREA WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO
WARM TO POTENTIAL. ONCE AGAIN THE UPPER LEVEL FEATURES ARE QUITE
SUBTLE AND WITH NO REAL FLOW TO TALK ABOUT IN THE MID LEVELS
CONVECTION WILL BE SOLELY DEPENDANT ON MESOSCALE FEATURES I.E. OLD
BOUNDARIES FROM YESTERDAY AND NEW OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM STORMS
TODAY. OVERALL SCT CONVECTION ACROSS THE NORTH AND WIDESPREAD
CONVECTION IN THE SOUTH LOOKS TO BE CASE WITH ISLTD TO SCT STRONG
STORMS AND SOME OF THOSE REACHING SEVERE LIMITS THIS AFTERNOON AND
INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. UPDATED ZFP AND GRIDS WILL BE OUT
SHORTLY ALTHOUGH THE CURRENT FORECAST IS HANDLING THINGS QUITE WELL
AS WE SPEAK.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST UNTIL CONVECTION STARTS.
ONCE THAT OCCURS STORMS WILL CAUSE CEILINGS TO TEMPORARILY DROP INTO
MVR STATUS WITH VISBIES FALLING INTO IFR STATUS. STRONG WINDS WILL
BE POSSIBLE FROM STORMS ALONG WITH SOME SMALL HAIL(BUT THE HAIL RICK
IS NOT NEARLY SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO MENTION IN THE TAFS AT THIS
TIME). CONVECTION SHOULD ONCE AGAIN CALM DOWN QUICKLY AFTER SUNSET
WITH VFR CONDITIONS TAKING OVER ONCE AGAIN. AFTER THAT SOME LOW
CLOUDS OR FOG MAY BE AN ISSUE DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS BUT
THAT IS STILL UP IN THE AIR...ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS HAS HAD A HARD
TIME MATERIALIZING THE LAST FEW NIGHTS.

1012 AM CDT FRI JUN 27 2008

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

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STRONG STORMS PRODUCING SMALL HAIL AND GUSTY
WINDS TO 45 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM MIDDAY THROUGH THE EARLY
EVENING HOURS TODAY. THE POSSIBILITY OF A FEW STORMS REACHING SEVERE
LIMITS AND PRODUCING HAIL LARGER THAN DIMES OR WINDS TO 60 MPH WILL
BE GREATEST ALONG AND NORTH OF THE I-20 CORRIDOR. IN ADDITION...TORRENTIAL
DOWNPOURS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH MANY STORMS AND THE QUICK ONE TO TWO
INCHES OF RAINFALL THEY COULD DELIVER IN ISOLATED LOCATIONS MAY CAUSE
MINOR PONDING OF WATER ISSUES.

A WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE PARKED OVER THE ARKLAMISS WILL ONCE
AGAIN COMBINE WITH MOIST FLOW OFF THE GULF OF MEXICO TO PRODUCE
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TODAY. LEVELS OF INSTABILITY AND WIND SHEAR
SHOULD NOT BE SUFFICIENT FOR THE WIDESPREAD PRODUCTION OF SEVERE
STORMS...BUT POCKETS OF HIGHER INSTABILITY SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO
GENERATE SOME ISOLATED INTENSE STORMS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS LOCATIONS
NORTH OF INTERSTATE TWENTY BETWEEN LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND
SUNDAY MORNING. THE RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL BE HIGHEST DURING
THIS TIME FRAME ALONG AND NORTH OF THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR. ANY
SEVERE STORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR PRODUCING LARGE
HAIL...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND HEAVY RAINFALL.

THE COMBINATION OF AN APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND COLD
FRONT SHOULD GENERATE POWERFUL THUNDERSTORMS TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE
REGION DURING THE DAY SATURDAY. THESE STORMS WILL MOVE TOWARD THE
ARKLAMISS SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS SATURDAY.
MOST CLUSTERS OF STORMS WILL LIKELY HAVE A TENDENCY TO WEAKEN AS THEY
HEAD INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...BUT LOCATIONS NORTH OF
INTERSTATE TWENTY WILL STILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO EXPERIENCE SOME
SEVERE WEATHER DURING THIS PERIOD.

THERE WILL BE A CHANCE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY THROUGH
MONDAY AS THE UPPER DISTURBANCE AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT PERSIST
ACROSS THE REGION.

.SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...
THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...HAM RADIO OPERATORS...AND
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL IN SUPPORT OF SEVERE WEATHER
OPERATIONS...MAY BE NEEDED
