AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
343 AM CDT TUE SEP 2 2008

.SHORT TERM...THE FOCUS FOR THE SHORT TERM CONTINUES TO BE ON
TROPICAL STORM GUSTAV. CURRENTLY THE CENTER OF GUSTAV IS LOCATED
BETWEEN KPOE AND KIER AND GRADUALLY MOVING TO THE NNW.  THE CURRENT
FORECAST FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER BRINGS GUSTAV SLOWLY
NORTHWEST TO REACH JUST SOUTHWEST OF THE ARKLATEX FOR THIS EVENING.
GUSTAV IS GRADUALLY WEAKENING AS IT MOVES THROUGH WEST LOUISIANA AND
IS NOW ABOUT 991MB.

GUSTAV IS EXPECTED TO MOVE VERY SLOWLY AND REMAIN TO OUR WEST
THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. THIS IS EXPECTED TO BRING RAIN TO THE
ARKLAMISS REGION OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. PWATS WELL OVER 2.0
INCHES WILL PROVIDE PLENTY OF MOISTURE. WITH RAIN THAT HAS FALLEN
ALREADY GIVING SOAKED GROUNDS...THERE WILL CONTINUE TO EXIST THE
POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING OVER AT LEAST THE SOUTHWESTERN 2/3 OF
THE CWFA.  THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE CONTINUED THROUGH THIS
EVENING AS A RESULT. THIS WATCH WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE EXTENDED FOR
PORTIONS OF THE CWFA. WILL LET LATER SHIFTS MONITOR THIS POTENTIAL
TO PINPOINT THE AREA THAT WILL MOST LIKELY NEED THE WATCH.

WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE GUSTY ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS REGION THROUGH
THE DAY. SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE PRETTY MUCH REMAINED BELOW 20KTS THE
PAST FEW HOURS ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWFA...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MAYBE
THE EXTREME SOUTHWEST WHERE SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REACH
UP TO AROUND 25-30KTS.  WINDS HAVE PRIMARILY BEEN GUSTING TO ABOUT
20-30KTS...WITH THE OCCASIONAL 35-40KTS.  BELIEVE THE SUSTAINED
WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN BETWEEN 10-15 KTS WITH LOCATIONS
ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST POSSIBLY SEEING AROUND 20-25KTS SUSTAINED
DURING THE DAY...WITH CONTINUED GUSTS OF AROUND 20-30 KTS...THE
SOUTHWEST SEEING HIGHER GUSTS. WITH WEAKER SUSTAINED WINDS
EXPECTED THE INLAND TROPICAL STORM WIND WARNING WILL BE ALLOWED TO
EXPIRE. WINDS WILL BE FALLING SHORT OF CRITERIA FOR WIND ADVISORIES
EVERYWHERE EXCEPT THE SOUTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA. SO WILL BE
PUTTING THE SOUTHWESTERN CORNER OF THE CWFA UNDER A WIND ADVISORY
AND WILL PUT THE REST OF THE CWFA UNDER A LAKE WIND ADVISORY FOR
TODAY.

THE POSSIBILITY OF TORNADOES ALSO CONTINUES FOR PORTIONS OF THE CWFA
TODAY.  THIS WILL ESPECIALLY BE OVER LOCATIONS MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH
OF THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR WITH BETTER MOISTURE LOCATED OVER THIS
AREA. THE TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM THIS MORNING FOR
SOUTH CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE CWFA. BELIEVE THE TORNADO RISK WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY FOR THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWFA AS THE
AREA WARMS.

TEMPERATURES WILL AGAIN BE A LITTLE COOLER TODAY.  LOWER 80S CAN BE
EXPECTED ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWFA WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER IN
THE MIDDLE 80S EXPECTED OVER THE EXTREME NORTHEAST.  CONTINUED CLOUD
COVER AND RAIN WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES DOWN AS WE EXPERIENCED OVER
THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWFA YESTERDAY.  TEMPERATURES WILL BE
SLIGHTLY WARMER ON WEDNESDAY...BUT NOT MUCH WARMER WITH THE EFFECTS
OF THE REMNANTS OF GUSTAV HANGING OVER AT LEAST THE WESTERN PORTIONS
OF THE CWFA.  HAVE REMAINED WITH MAV GUI OVER THE EASTERN PORTIONS
OF THE AREA FOR BOTH DAYS...BUT HAVE LOWERED BY A DEGREE OR TWO OVER
THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA.  LOW TEMPERATURES FOR TONIGHT
LOOKED REASONABLE WITH LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S EXPECTED. /14/

.LONG TERM...THE LONG TERM AFTER THU SEEMS MOSTLY INSIGNIFICANT BUT
EYES WILL BE TURNING TWRDS THE TROPICS ONCE AGAIN. THE MDLS
GENERALLY AGREE THAT THE REMNANTS OF GUSTAV WILL FINALLY START TO
PULL OUT OF THE ARKLATEX REGION ON THU. AFTER THAT RAIN CHANCES WILL
DECREASE SIGNIFICANTLY BUT THERE SHOULD BE MORE THAN ENOUGH MOISTURE
IN THE ATMOSPHERE TO HELP GET ISLTD ACTIVITY OFF AND ON. THROUGHOUT
THE EXTENDED I WILL GENERALLY STICK WITH THE GUI VALUES...THE ONLY
EXCEPTION WILL BE WED NIGHT AND THU WHERE I WILL GO ABOUT 10% OR SO
ABV GUI POPS ACROSS THE WEST AND EVEN CNTRL PORTIONS OF THE CWA.

THE MAIN CONCERN IN THE EXTENDED(AT THIS TIME) IS THU. IT LOOKS LIKE
IT WILL BE ANOTHER WET DAY AS A BAND OF SHRA AND ISLTD TSRA DEVELOP.
THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES B/T THE MDLS AS TO WHERE THIS WILL N-S
BAND OF RAIN WILL OCCUR BUT IT IS BEGINNING TO LOOK MORE LIKELY
ACROSS THE WRN HALF OF THE CWA. THIS BAND COULD BRING ANOTHER 1-2
INCHES OF RAIN OVER THE NW AND EXACERBATE ANY FLOODING ISSUES THAT
MAY BE OUT THERE FROM TUE AND WED RAINS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR
THIS AND IF THE FFA IS EXTENDED INTO WED IT MAY HAVE TO BE EXTENDED
FURTHER INTO THU FOR A FEW AREAS. A LOT WILL DEPEND ON WHAT HAPPENS
OVER THE NEXT 24-36 HRS AND WHERE THIS BAND OF RAIN DEVELOPS ON THU
WHICH IS UNCERTAIN.

AFTER THU WE WILL MOVE INTO WEAK SWRLY FLOW WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO
ALLOW FOR LIGHT SHRA AND MAYBE A FEW TSRA TO DEVELOP EACH DAY BUT
THE RISK OF HEAVY RAIN WILL BE OVER. OF NOTE...EVEN THOUGH TROPICAL
DEPRESSION GUSTAV AND ITS REMNANTS WILL AFFECT US FOR THE NEXT 60
HRS WE WILL STILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE OUT IN THE ATLANTIC AS
TROPICAL STORM IKE IS FORECAST TO APPROACH THE BAHAMAS AND IT LOOKS
LIKE IT WILL HAVE A SHOT OF GETTING INTO THE GULF. /CAB/

&&

.AVIATION...CEILINGS WILL CONTINUE TO LOWER ACROSS MUCH OF THE
ARKLAMISS REGION WITH 2-3K FEET EXPECTED BY AROUND DAYBREAK.  THIS
SHOULD GIVE PRIMARILY MVFR AND IFR FLIGHT CATEGORIES THROUGH THE
FORECAST PERIOD.  SHOWERS WITH AN OCCASIONAL THUNDERSTORM ASSOCIATED
WITH TROPICAL STORM GUSTAV WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE ENTIRE
PERIOD.  THIS COULD PRODUCE PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH MAY
BRING PERIODS OF LIFR FLIGHT CATEGORIES.  IN ADDITION TO HEAVY RAIN
FOR THE AREA...GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE AN ISSUE FOR TODAY AS
WELL. SUSTAINED WINDS OF AROUND 10-15KT...WITH PERIODS OF UP TO
20KTS WILL BE POSSIBLE.  GUSTS OF 20-30KTS WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR MOST
SITES AS WELL.  WINDS WILL GRADUALLY BEGIN TO WEAKEN FROM THE EAST
BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS. /14/
