AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
240 PM CDT TUE SEP 2 2008
...WET PATTERN TO PERSIST THROUGH MOST OF THE WORK WEEK FROM
THE REMNANTS OF GUSTAV...
.DISCUSSION...LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS REMNANTS OF GUSTAV
SPINNING OVER NORTHWEST LOUISIANA...MOVING QUITE SLOWLY NORTHWEST. SPIRAL
BANDS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION FOR THROUGH WEDNESDAY
WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY WINDS...HEAVY RAINS AND SOME ISOLATED
TORNADOES. WE HAVE RECEIVED REPORTS OF FLOODING IN SOME OF OUR EAST
AND SOUTHERN COUNTIES.
SHORT RANGE AND MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THAT GUSTAV WILL BE SLOW
TO MOVE ITS INFLUENCE AWAY FROM THE REGION. PRECIPITABLE WATER WILL CONTINUE
TO BE AROUND 2 TO 2.5 INCHES THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...WHICH SPELLS FOR MORE
RAINS ON SATURATED SOILS. CONDITIONS WILL STILL FAVOR FOR SOME GUSTY WINDS...
HEAVY RAINS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES THROUGH TONIGHT AS WAVE AFTER WAVE
MOVES ACROSS THE REGION FROM THE WEST AROUND THE REMNANTS OF GUSTAV.
MODELS SHOWS THAT BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE REGION UNTIL
15Z WEDNESDAY. SO WILL HAVE THE WIND ADVISORY FOR THE WESTERN DELTA COUNTIES
AND PARISHES AND A LAKE WIND ADVISORY FOR COUNTIES AROUND THE INTERSTATE 55
CORRIDOR UNTIL 15Z WEDNESDAY. WITH ALL THE TROPICAL MOISTURE AND FLOODING
THAT IS GOING ON WITH THE SPIRAL BANDS WILL EXTEND FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL
7 PM WEDNESDAY EVENING. MODELS SHOWS THAT OUR CHANCES OF RAIN WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK. SO HAVE CUT HIGHS SOME FOR WEDNESDAY INTO
THURSDAY AND WENT WITH GUIDANCE ON TONIGHT...WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY
NIGHT. AS FAR AS POPS ARE CONCERN WENT HIGHER THAN MODEL POPS FOR TONIGHT...
WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THEN WENT MAV POPS FOR THURSDAY-THURSDAY NIGHT.
/17/
&&
.AVIATION...CONTINUED THE RAIN THROUGH WEDNESDAY ACROSS THE AREA. AT
THIS TIME THE REMNANTS OF GUSTAV WERE NOT MOVING VERY MUCH AND THE
SYSTEM WILL LIKELY STALL JUST WEST OF THE AREA. PERIODS OF HEAVY
RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE TO REDUCE VISIBILITIES ACROSS THE AREA
THROUGH AT LEAST WEDNESDAY MORNING. ALTHOUGH...WINDS WILL CONTINUE
TO GUST OVERNIGHT...STILL EXPECTING PATCHY TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT...SO
MVFR CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED AT MOST LOCATIONS THROUGH AT LEAST
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. LEFT GUSTS AT MOST LOCATIONS THROUGH TONIGHT.
WINDS IN THE EAST HAVE TAPERED OFF SLIGHTLY...BUT SPEEDS AT
MEI/HBG/GTR SHOULD REMAIN NEAR 15KTS THROUGH WEDNESDAY ALSO./7/
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED AT 343 AM CDT.
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/
