...A TORNADO WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1245 PM CDT FOR SOUTHERN
LAMAR AND SOUTHERN FORREST COUNTIES...

AT 1227 PM CDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE METEOROLOGISTS INDICATED A 
BAND OF TROPICAL SQUALLS WITH ROTATION CAPABLE OF PRODUCING TORNADOES
MOVING INTO SOUTHERN FORREST AND LAMAR COUNTIES. THE ACTIVITY WAS
MOVING NORTHWEST AT 50 MPH.

SPIRAL BANDS OF TROPICAL SQUALLS ASSOCIATED WITH HURRICANE GUSTAV WILL
CONTINUE TO ROTATE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...AND WILL
LIKELY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL TORNADO WARNINGS.

THE SAFEST PLACE TO BE DURING A TORNADO IS IN A BASEMENT. GET UNDER A
WORKBENCH OR OTHER PIECE OF STURDY FURNITURE. IF NO BASEMENT IS
AVAILABLE...SEEK SHELTER ON THE LOWEST FLOOR OF THE BUILDING IN AN
INTERIOR HALLWAY OR ROOM SUCH AS A CLOSET. USE BLANKETS OR PILLOWS TO
COVER YOUR BODY AND ALWAYS STAY AWAY FROM WINDOWS.

IF IN MOBILE HOMES OR VEHICLES...EVACUATE THEM AND GET INSIDE A
SUBSTANTIAL SHELTER. IF NO SHELTER IS AVAILABLE...LIE FLAT IN THE
NEAREST DITCH OR OTHER LOW SPOT AND COVER YOUR HEAD WITH YOUR HANDS.

A TORNADO WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 400 PM CDT MONDAY AFTERNOON
FOR SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1144 AM CDT MON SEP 1 2008

...GUSTAV MOVING ONSHORE ON THE SERN LA COAST...

.DISCUSSION...GUSTAV HAS BEGUN TO MOVE ONSHORE ALONG THE SERN LA
COAST. BANDS OF SQUALLS WILL CONTINUE TO PIVOT INTO THE AREA AND THE
RISK OF TORNADOES WILL CONTINUE FOR AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE
I-20 CORRIDOR THIS AFTERNOON. WIND GUSTS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE
DURING THE AFTERNOON AS GUSTAV LIFTS INLAND INTO LA. THE STRONGEST
WIND GUSTS WILL OCCUR IN PRECIP AS STRONG WINDS ARE MIXED DOWN TO
THE SURFACE. SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO AFTERNOON HIGHS AND POPS
SOME CENTRAL AND SRN ZONES.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...THE NEXT 48-60 HRS WILL BE ALL ABOUT
GUSTAV...THE REMNANTS AND WEATHER RISKS AS THE SYSTEM EVOLVES.
LANDFALL LOOKS TO BE EARLIER THAN PREV ANTICIPATED AND LIKELY VERY
CLOSE TO PORT FOURCHON BETWEEN 7-8 AM. SFC PRESSURE FALL COUPLET
STRONG SUPPORTS THIS WITH A NEARLY STEADY NW HEADING THROUGH
SOUTH-CENTRAL LA.

A FEW MAIN ISSUES TO FOCUS ON FOR THE NEXT 24HRS. HOW MUCH WILL WILL
THE CWA GET AND WHAT IMPACTS TO EXPECT...TORNADO RISK...THEN
FLOODING POTENTIAL.

THE HIGHEST WINDS LOOK TO OCCUR ALONG THE HIGHWAY 84/98 CORRIDOR
FROM NATCHEZ TO HATTIESBURG. THIS AREA WILL LIKELY SEE SUSTAINED
30-45 MPH WITH GUSTS 50-65 MPH. EXPECT WIDESPREAD TREES/POWER LINES
DOWN WITH AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF POWER OUTAGES. THE AREA N OF HWY 84
TO I-20 SHOULD SEE SUSTAINED 20-35 MPH WITH GUSTS 40-50 MPH. SCT TO
WIDESPREAD TREE/POWER LINE DMG WITH A DECENT AMOUNT OF POWER
OUTAGES. NORTH OF I-20 WILL SEE SUSTAINED 18-25 MPH WITH GUSTS 30-40
MPH. SCT TREES WILL LIKELY COME DOWN. THE MAIN TIME FRAME FOR THE
STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE BETWEEN 8AM N THE SE TO AROUND MIDNIGHT IN
THE SW. WINDS SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH FROM THAT POINT ON. DUE TO
THE FASTER SPEED...WE WILL REMOVE THE TS WIND WARNING AND WIND ADV
AT 09Z (4AM). THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR A CLEANER SUITE OF PRODUCTS
WHICH IS QUITE LENGTHLY ALREADY.

THE MAIN SVR RISK WILL BE WITH TORNADOES IN THE OUT RAIN/STORM
BANDS. MY THINKING IS THAT GUSTAV MAY BE PROLIFIC TORNADO PRODUCER
AS THE DRY AIR INGREDIENT LOOKS TO BE PRESENT. STORM TRENDS THIS
MORNING SUPPORT THIS AS SEVERAL SUPERCELL STRUCTURES ARE/HAVE BEEN
MOVING ON SHORE ACROSS MOBILES CWA. THIS FAVORED TORNADO AREA WILL
ROTATE OUR WAY AND SHIFT W THROUGH THE DAY AND INTO THE TONIGHT
PERIOD. BEST RISK TODAY WILL BE SE OF A MERIDIAN TO BROOKHAVEN LINE.
THE FOCUS SHIFTS TO S OF A LAKE PROVIDENCE TO JACKSON TO LAUREL LINE
THIS EVENING/OVERNIGHT. MOST WILL BE BRIEF AND WEAK (EF0 TO EF1) BUT
STRONG SHEAR LOOKS TO SUPPORT A FEW STRONG TORNADOES AS WELL (EF2).
THE BRIEF PART IS TRICKY AS ANY TORNADO MAY COVER A LARGE DISTANCE
B/C OF THE FAST MOTIONS. DUE TO THIS INCREASED RISK...I HAVE/WILL
PLAY UP THE POTENTIAL MORE AND HAVE INCREASED THE PROBABILITIES TO
AROUND 12-18%.

AS FOR FLOODING...NOT REAL CONCERNED FOR THE TODAY PERIOD...BUT THE
RISK WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE S PORTION THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE
FLOODING POTENTIAL WILL REALLY INCREASE LATER TONIGHT AND ESPECIALLY
ON TUE. DURING THIS TIME...THE CENTER OF GUSTAV WILL SLOW AND ALLOW
FOR MORE OF A TRAINING SETUP...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE W HALF. AREAS
W OF I-55...MAINLY AROUND THE MS RIVER...COULD SEE SOME 5-10 INCH
TOTALS DEPENDING ON HOW THE BANDS OF CONVECTION SET UP.

THE FLOODING AND TORNADO RISK WILL CONTINUE FOR TUE WITH A FOCUS
ACROSS THE W HALF OF THE CWA. WILL HAVE TO EVALUATE THE FLASH FLOOD
WATCH OVER THE NEXT FEW SHIFTS TO SEE IF IT NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED.
AGAIN...PARAMETERS ARE SETTING UP FOR AN ACTIVE TORNADO DAY. THIS
RISK MAY EXTEND INTO WEDNESDAY AS THE REMNANTS OF GUSTAV LINGER NEAR
THE AREA.

AS FOR FORECAST ELEMENTS...TWEAK TEMPS FOR SOME AREAS AS SOME WILL
BE COOLER DUE TO LONGER PERIODS OF PRECIP...OTHERS MAY GET WARMER
COME TUE/WED AS BRIEF BRAKES IN THE PRECIP WILL ALLOW FOR WARMING
WHICH WILL INCREASE INSTABILITY AND SUPPORT MORE STORMS. AS FOR
POPS...GENERALLY INCREASED POPS FOR ALL AREAS THROUGH WED. I ADDED
HEAVY RAIN AND TORNADOES INTO THE ZONES FOR THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH
TUES TO BETTER DESCRIBE THE RISK. I NORMALLY DONT LIKE TO MENTION
THUNDER WITH TROPICAL SYSTEMS...BUT GUSTAV HAS BEEN SUPPORTING SOME
LIGHTING EITHER IN THE CORE OR IN BANDS TO AT LEAST MENTION ISO
THUNDER WHILE WE ARE UNDER HIS INFLUENCE.  /CME/

.LONG TERM...THE FORECAST FOR THE EXTENDED IS DIFFICULT BUT
CONTINUES TO LOOK LIKE IT COULD BE A WET ONE. THE MDLS CONTINUE TO
SUGGEST GUSTAV SLOWING DOWN CONSIDERABLY AND POSSIBLY STALLING
ACROSS NORTHWESTERN LA/ERN TX. IF THE REMNANTS OF GUSTAV DO STALL
OUT OR SLOW DOWN OVER THAT AREA THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR A
PROLONGED PERIOD OF RAIN. A FFA IS ALREADY IN EFFECT THROUGH WED EVN
AND IF THIS SCENARIO SETS UP THEN THAT WATCH WILL MOST LIKELY NEED
TO BE EXTENDED INTO THU WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE AN AREA OF HEAVY RAIN
COULD SET UP ACROSS NERN LA/SERN AR AND WRN MS. AFTER THU IT STILL
LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE A DECENT CHANCE FOR SOME RAIN INTO THE
WEEKEND. /CAB/

&&

.AVIATION...CEILINGS ACROSS THE REGION WERE GENERALLY VFR WITH MVFR
CEILINGS TO THE SOUTH FOR THIS MORNING. TROPICAL SHOWERS AND
EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE FOR MVFR TO IFR ISSUES WITH
PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINS ACROSS THE REGION FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
EXPECT CEILINGS TO BECOME MVFR-IFR LEVELS TO DEVELOP FROM THE SOUTH
FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING. STRONG
GUSTY WINDS WILL ALSO BE AN ISSUE FOR TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE HIGHEST
WINDS WILL OCCUR OVER CENTRAL AND SRN ZONES WITH TROPICAL STORM
FORCE GUSTS POSSIBLE SOUTH OF I-20. WIND WILL INCREASE OVER WRN
AREAS...INCLUDING THE DELTA...DURING THE AFTERNOON AS GUSTAV LIFTS
NWWD ACROSS LA.
