AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1103 AM CST SAT DEC 27 2008

.DISCUSSION...NO MAJOR UPDATES NEEDED RIGHT NOW. EVERYTHING STILL
LOOKS TO BE ON TRACK WITH TEMPERATURES WARMING UP NICELY AND WINDS
PICKING UP EVERYWHERE. AS FOR THE SEVERE POTENTIAL...THE RISK DOES
NOT SEEM TO BE AS GREAT ACROSS MOST OF THE REGION. NUMEROUS NEGATIVE
FEATURES ARE COMING TOGETHER. FIRST THE HEIGHTS ARE RATHER
HIGH. SECOND THE SFC LOW IS RACING OFF TO THE NNE AND THIS WILL KEEP
SFC PRESSURES PRETTY HIGH ACROSS THE AREA. NEXT THERE IS AN AREA OF
DRY AIR MOVING IN SHOWN BY SNDGS IN SRN LA AND SATELLITE ANALYSIS. ONE
MORE THING IS OURS AND THE SNDGS IN SRN LA THIS MORNING HAD A STRONG
CAP IN PLACE BUT THIS CAP SHOULD START TO ERODE SOME LATE THIS AFTN AND
THIS EVENING AS THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES AND HEIGHTS LOWER SOMEWHAT. LAST
INSTABILITY WILL BE QUITE LIMITED AND THIS ALONG WITH THE CAP WILL
KEEP ANY ACTIVITY FORM DEVELOPING AHEAD OF THE FRONT. EVEN WITH ALL
THAT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL STILL DEVELOP ALONG THE COLD
FRONT AND PUSH IN THE NW LATE THIS AFTN OR EARLY THIS EVN. THERE WILL
STILL BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY AND SHEAR TO GET A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS
ALONG THE FRONT. AS THE LINE PUSHES TO THE EAST THE RISK FOR SEVERE
WEATHER WILL DECREASE WITH MAINLY ISOLATED STRONG STORMS EXPECTED
ACROSS THE FAR EAST OVERNIGHT.

ONE MORE THING OF NOTE WINDS HAVE BEEN PRETTY GUSTY ACROSS THE ENTIRE
CWA WITH SOME WIND GUSTS OF 35 TO NEAR 40 MPH ALREADY. WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE AND A WIND ADV MAY BE NEEDED ACROSS
THE NWRN 3RD/HALF OF THE CWA.

NO NEW ZONES OR GRIDS ARE NEEDED AT THIS TIME ANOTHER UPDATE MAY BE
NEEDED IF TEMPERATURES AND WINDS PICK UP MORE THAN CURRENTLY
FORECASTED FOR. /CAB/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...SHORT TERM(TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...AREA RADARS
SHOWED ISOLATED SHOWERS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWFA
STREAMING N AT 30KTS OR SO. A STEADY SLY WIND IN THE 6MB PRESSURE
GRADIENT RANGE WILL GRADUALLY TIGHTEN TO 7MB BY MIDDAY SO SOME GUSTS
COULD REACH 30-34KTS AT TIMES. VAD WINDS AND PROFILERS SHOWING ABOUT
25-30KTS AT 1-2K FEET UNTIL YOU GET WWD TO THE SABINE RIVER REGION
WHERE STRONGER FLOW EXISTS. SCATTERED TSRA BREAKING OUT OVER CENTRAL
AR HEADING N AS WELL. LOCAL RAOBS CURRENTLY SUPPORT A DEVELOPING MID
LEVEL CAP AND SATELLITE SOUNDER SHOWING A SLUG OF <1 INCH PWAT AIR
GETTING READY TO MOVE ONSHORE AND UP THE PEARL RIVER BASIN.

FOR TODAY...MODELS HAVE BEEN HINTING THAT SOME DRIER AIR WOULD
APPEAR FROM SOMEWHERE TO KEEP SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN CHECK AND
GENERALLY BELOW 65F. THAT SCENARIO BEING INJECTED TO THE SURFACE LOW
CROSSING THE OZARKS TODAY SHOULD HELP LIMIT THE POTENTIAL SEVERITY
OF THE STORMS IN A STRONGLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT(0-1KM HELICITIES
300-350M*M/S*S). THE 00Z GFS/ECMWF AND SREF PLACE THE SURFACE FRONT
ALONG THE MS RIVER AT 8PM TONIGHT WITH MOST OF THE ACTIVE TSRA WITH
THE COLD AIR FRONTAL LIFT AS INSTABILITY WEAKENS IN THE CAPPED AND
SHEARED WARM SECTOR. MLCAPES OF 4-800J/KG SHOULD MAINTAIN THE
PRIMARY BAND OF STORMS AND WILL HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR ANY ROTATING
DISCRETE CELLS AHEAD OF THE FRONT(BUT THESE BECOMING LESS CERTAIN).
ISOLATED SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL REMAIN IN HWOJAN AND MENTIONED IN THE
DELTA ZONE GROUPS.

NEAR RECORD WARM TEMPERATURES WILL REACH 75-80F FOR MOST LOCATIONS.
THE BEST POPS FOR THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE ALONG AND WEST OF THE MS
RIVER AHEAD OF THE INCOMING COLD FRONT SCHEDULED TO ENTER OUR CWFA
BETWEEN 22-00Z AND EXIT SERN MS AROUND 10Z LATE TONIGHT. BOTH THE
SPC VERSION OF THE WRF-NMM AND LOCAL RUNS SHOW THE SQUALL LINE ON
THE COLD SIDE OF THE BOUNDARY LATE THIS EVENING AS IT MOVES INTO THE
WRN HALF OF MS. VEERING WIND FIELDS ARE PROGGED TO BECOME MORE
UNIDIRECTIONAL OVERNIGHT AND HELP TO ACCELERATE THE LINE EWD.

BY SUNDAY...THE FRONT EXITS SERN MS BEFORE DAYLIGHT AND A PACIFIC
HIGH(1025MB) CENTER WILL BE BUILDING INTO THE REGION WITH RAPIDLY
DIMINISHING NWLY WINDS BY AFTERNOON. THIS DRYING/COOLING TREND
PERSISTS INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. NOT MUCH OVERALL DEVIATION FROM THE MAV
MOS TEMPS/POPS EXCEPT FOR LEANING TOWARD THE COOLER MET MOS LOWS FOR
TONIGHT./40/

LONGER TERM(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)...
ON SUNDAY NIGHT

FOR THE PERIOD ENSEMBLES AND MEDIUM RANGE MODELS SHOWS
A ZONAL PACIFIC PROGRESSIVE PATTERN.

EXPECT THE RAINS TO EXIT THE REGION BY SUNDAY NIGHT. A PACIFIC
HIGH(1026MB) CENTER WILL BE BUILDING ACROSS THE LOWER MS VALLEY
REGION SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT WITH VERY LITTLE ADVECTION.

EXPECT DRYING/COOLING TREND OF THIS AIR MASS WILL MODERATE QUITE
QUICKLY BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK...WHEN A RATHER SHALLOW RETURN
FLOW DEVELOPS AHEAD OF A MINOR UPPER TROUGH RACING THROUGH A CONUS
ZONAL FLOW PATTERN. A WEAK SHORT WAVE SHOULD DROP THROUGH THE REGION
ON LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY WITH SOME RAIN CHANCES.

A STRONG UPPER TROUGH WILL PUSH INTO THE PLAINS ON FRIDAY. THIS WILL
PUSH A FRONTAL SYSTEM INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY FOR FRIDAY
THE 2ND. INSTABILITY WILL BE LIMITED FOR SHOWERS ONLY.  THE UPPER
TROUGH WILL PASS OVER THE REGION FOR FRIDAY NIGHT INTO
SATURDAY...WHICH WILL PROVIDE A COOLING TREND FOR MOST OF THE
WEEKEND. THIS WAS REFLECTED BY THE EUROPEAN MODEL. THE GFS WAS
FARTHER SOUTH WITH THE CLOSED UPPER LOW AND MORE AMPLIFIED.

AFTER THE NEAR RECORD WARMTH OF THIS WEEK AND TRENDS TOWARD PACIFIC
AIRMASS INTRUSIONS...WILL CONTINUE TO LEAN TOWARD THE WARMER MEX MOS
FOR NEXT WEEK AND THEN SEASONAL ENSEMBLE MEAN MOS NUMBERS FOR THE FIRST
FEW DAYS OF 2009. /17/

&&

.AVIATION...THE LOWER MS VALLEY DOMINATED BY MVFR CEILINGS THIS
MORNING FROM ABOUT 1500-2500 FEET. BRIEF SHRA SCOOTING N AT 30KTS+
BUT THESE BECOMING FEWER ON LATEST RADAR RETURNS. EXPECT GUSTY S
WINDS OF 15-30KTS MUCH OF THE DAY WITH STRONGEST GUSTS ALONG THE MS
RIVER. SCATTERED SHRA/ISOLATED TSRA POSSIBLE AFTER ABOUT 20Z OVER
WRN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA.  FOR TONIGHT AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
ARRIVES FROM THE W...A LINE OF STRONG TSRA WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE
ENTIRE AREA MAINLY AFTER THE FROPA ARRIVES. EXPECT LOCALIZED IFR
WITH ANY SHRA/TSRA BUT OVERALL MVFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL./40/
