Area forecast discussion, Sep 3, 3:05 PM CDT, 4 hours 6 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
305 PM CDT WED SEP 3 2008
...CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE AS AFFECTS OF GUSTAV PULLS AWAY FROM THE
ARKLAMISS REGION...
.DISCUSSION...LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS REMNANTS OF GUSTAV
ACROSS SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS. CONVECTIVE BANDS ARE CONTINUING THE
MOVE ACROSS THE REGION. LOW TO MID LEVEL FLOW HAS THE BEST SHEAR AND
CONVERGENCE ACROSS THE WEST HALF OF THE REGION. STILL EXPECT SOME
ISOLATED TORNADOES TO CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS OVER THE WESTERN
PORTIONS OF THE REGION. AS FAR AS FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL IS CONCERN
WILL ALLOW THE WATCH TO EXPIRE AT 7 PM. EXPECT LIGHT BREEZY
CONDITIONS FOR TONIGHT...SO WILL LET THE LAKE WIND ADVISORY EXPIRE
AT 4 PM. THE BEST WINDS WILL BE UP IN THE NORTHWEST DELTA
REGION...BUT EXPECT THE WINDS TO DIMINISH AS THE SURFACE LOW PULLS
NORTH DURING THE NIGHT.
*******ALSO SENT OUT A PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT...COURTESY OF
OUR SENIOR HYDROLOGIST. GUSTAV STORM TOTALS RANGED UP TO 19 INCHES
AT LARTO LAKE LOUISIANA.****
SHORT RANGE AND MEDIUM RANGE MODELS SHOWS THAT THE REMNANTS OF
GUSTAV WILL PUSH INTO SOUTHERN MISSOURI BY EARLY THURSDAY. THIS WILL
HELP TO DIMINISH THE HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL FOR TONIGHT. A SURFACE
BOUNDARY WILL BE TRAILING THE LOW PRESSURE AREA. WE WILL BE GETTING
BACK TO A MORE DIURNAL PATTERN AS WE GET TOWARD THE END OF THE WORK
WEEK. THE BOUNDARY WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REGION ON THURSDAY NIGHT.
WE WILL BE GETTING SOME RAINS WITH IT IN A MORE CONVECTIVE NATURE.
THE BOUNDARY WILL PUSH EAST OF THE REGION ON FRIDAY. THIS WILL CAUSE
THE ARKLAMISS TO DRY OUT FROM THE WEST ON LATE FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY
NIGHT. AS FAR AS TEMPS ARE CONCERN BELIEVE THAT MODELS ARE GOING
TOO COOL WITH TEMPS WITH A WET GROUND AND GRADUALLY DECREASING CLOUDS
AS WE GO INTO THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY NIGHT. SO MADE SOME SLIGHT
UPWARD ADJUSTMENTS. WITH DAILY HIGHS WENT CLOSE TO MAV GUIDANCE.
LOWS WILL BE FROM THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S FOR TONIGHT...LOWER 70S
FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND NEAR 70 TO LOWER 70S FOR FRIDAY NIGHT. DAILY
HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 80S./17/
.AVIATION...THE RAIN HAS FILLED IN ACROSS THE REGION...SO LIGHT TO
MODERATE RAIN CAN BE EXPECTED AT MOST SITES FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MAY APPROACH...BUT VCTS SHOULD BE GOOD AT THIS
POINT. RAIN MAY BRIEFLY REDUCE VISIBILITIES TO 3 MILES OR LESS IN A
FEW LOCATIONS...SO WILL MAINTAIN WORSENING CONDITIONS IN TEMPO
GROUPS THROUGH THE EVENING. STILL LOOKING FOR RAIN TO DIMINISH
ACROSS THE AREA BEFORE MIDNIGHT. HOWEVER...LOW CLOUDS AND FOG SHOULD
MOVE IN AND MAINTAIN THROUGH SUNRISE. MODELS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE INTO THE WESTERN ZONES JUST
BEFORE SUNRISE AND SLOWLY TRACK EAST THROUGH THE DAY. STILL LOOKS
LIKE GLH/GWO AND MAYBE JAN WILL BE THE ONLY SITES IMPACTED BEFORE
18Z./7/
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...424 AM CDT WED SEP 3 2008
.LONG TERM...THE EXTENDED FORECAST LOOKS RATHER QUIET. THE MODELS
ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH THE UPPER PATTERN SHOWING EITHER WEAK
ZONAL OR SW FLOW. AFTER THE REMNANTS OF GUSTAV PUSH OFF WELL TO OUR
NORTHEAST DRIER AIR WILL WORK IN AND THIS WILL HELP KEEP RAIN
CHANCES PRETTY LOW. THE WEEKEND WILL LIKELY BE MOSTLY DRY WHICH WILL
BE A WELCOME CHANGE. SLIGHTLY COOLER LL TEMPS WILL ALSO MOVE IN AND
KEEP HIGHS IN CHECK. IN ADDITION TO HIGHS THIS COOLER/DRIER AIR
WOULD NORMALLY ALLOW FOR SOME RATHER COMFORTABLE NIGHTS BUT WITH THE
AMOUNT OF RAIN THAT HAS FALLEN ALREADY AND WILL FALL B/T NOW AND THU
LOWS WILL LIKELY NOT GET NEARLY AS COOL AS THE GUI IS SHOWING FOR
THIS WEEKEND THANKS TO ALL OF THE GROUND MOISTURE. DUE TO THAT I
HAVE STUCK WITH LOWS CLOSE TO 70 FOR SAT AND SUN. THINGS REMAIN
PRETTY QUIET HEADING INTO NEXT WEEK BUT WE WILL HAVE TO CONTINUE TO
KEEP AN EYE ON TROPICAL STORM IKE. THE FORECAST STILL HAS IKE MOVING
TWRDS THE FL STRAIGHTS WITH A GOOD CHANCE OF GETTING INTO THE GULF
BY MON. /CAB/
