AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
438 PM CDT THU MAR 26 2009

.DISCUSSION...
THE BOUNDARY WAS SLOWLY MOVING NORTH FROM THE COAST. A MCS WAS MOVING
INTO WESTERN LOUISIANA FROM EAST TEXAS AND WILL LIKELY IMPACT THE
SOUTHERN ZONES THIS EVENING. THUNDERSTORMS WERE ALSO DEVELOPING OVER
THE NORTHWEST AS THE SURFACE LOW APPROACHED. FOR A WHILE IT LOOKED
THE NORTHERN ZONES MAY GET DRY SLOTTED AS THE SURFACE LOW SHIFTS
EAST. DEWPOINTS ACROSS NORTH TEXAS WERE IN THE TEENS AND VALUES OVER
OK/AR WERE IN THE 40S AND 50S. 850 WINDS OVER THE ARKLATEX WERE
AROUND 40KTS AND SURFACE WINDS WERE GUSTING ACROSS THE REGION. STILL
UNCERTAIN HOW MUCH ACTIVITY WILL IMPACT THE CWA NORTH OF INTERSTATE
20 AT THIS TIME. MAINTAINED CATEGORICAL POPS TO ACCOUNT FOR RAIN
EXPECTED TO MOVE IN TONIGHT. MODELS SEEM TO AGREE THAT THE BEST
INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN SOUTH TONIGHT...BUT MAINTAINED A CHANCE OF
SEVERE UP TO INTERSTATE 20 THROUGH TONIGHT. THE NORTHWEST ZONES WERE
REMOVED FROM THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH THIS MORNING. AT THIS TIME...IT
LOOKS LIKE THE HEAVY RAIN WILL REMAIN TO THE SOUTH. HOWEVER...A FEW
FLASH FLOOD WARNING ARE POSSIBLE FOR THE ENTIRE AREA. THE NORTHWEST
PORTIONS OF THE AREA RECEIVED ANYWHERE FROM 3 TO 5 INCHES OF RAIN
OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS...SO THERE WILL BE RAPID RUNOFF IF ANY HEAVY
RAIN DEVELOPS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL FIRE ALONG THE BOUNDARY
THROUGH TONIGHT...BEFORE THE SURFACE LOW SHIFTS EAST EARLY FRIDAY.
THERE WILL WILL BE A SHORT BREAK IN THE SEVERE STORMS FRIDAY
MORNING...BUT THE NEXT SURFACE LOW MOVES IN FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE
UPPER JET WILL BE PUSHING INTO THE ARKLATEX. DEWPOINTS ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA GET BACK UP INTO THE UPPER 60S AND CONTINUE
THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY. INSTABILITY...PW VALUES ALL INCREASE THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON. THE UPPER JET FINALLY MOVES INTO THE DELTA REGION LATE
FRIDAY/EARLY SATURDAY WITH A 120KT SPEED MAX MOVING ACROSS THE CWA.
LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE STORMS FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE
DEEPENING SURFACE LOW ALSO SWINGS THROUGH THE DELTA. THE GFS
CONTINUES TO SHOW RAIN BULLS EYES UNDER THE SURFACE LOW. WITH
INCREASING MOISTURE...EXPECTING PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN SATURDAY NIGHT
ALSO. MANY OF THE RIVERS AND STREAMS ACROSS THE AREA ARE RISING WITH
A FEW CAUSING MINOR FLOODING...ADDITIONAL RAINS WILL LEAD TO MORE
RIVER FLOODING ACROSS THE REGION. FOR TEMPS TRIED TO SHOW TEMPERATURES
FALLING THROUGH THE DAY SATURDAY...LOOKING FOR HIGHS IN THE EARLY
AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE...GENERALLY STUCK CLOSE TO GUIDANCE FOR POPS AND TEMPS.

THE MODELS SHOW THE NEXT BOUNDARY MOVING IN ON MONDAY...BUT THERE WAS
VERY INSTABILITY AVAILABLE. MAINTAINED SMALL RAIN CHANCES FOR MONDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS THE BOUNDARY MOVES THROUGH. THE BOUNDARY
SEEMS TO STALL AROUND TUESDAY NIGHT AND SLOWLY MOVE NORTH WEDNESDAY.
MORE STRONG STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY. THE GFS SHOWS AN UPPER
WAVE DEVELOPING AND TRACKING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE
AREA ALONG THE STALLED SURFACE BOUNDARY. DID NOT MAKE ANY DRAMATIC
CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED. GENERALLY STUCK WITH GUIDANCE.

&&

.AVIATION...CLOUDS HAVE CLEARED ACROSS THE CENTER OF THE AREA THIS
AFTERNOON. SCT-BKN CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
CEILINGS WERE AROUND 2KFT FOR GLH/GWO/GTR AND AROUND 5KFT FOR
HBG/MEI. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE MOVING INTO HBG AND WILL
REMAIN NEAR THE AREA THROUGH THE PERIOD. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED FROM 1Z ONWARD EVERYWHERE EXCEPT
GWO/GLH/GTR. WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY WILL BE MORE LIKELY IN THOSE
LOCATIONS STARTING AFTER 3Z. MVFR-LIFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT ALL
SITES FROM 4Z THROUGH THE PERIOD. BRIEF PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN AND
THUNDERSTORMS MAY LEAD TO IFR CONDITIONS FOR JAN/MEI AND HBG FROM
6-12Z. PATCHY DENSE FOG MAY ALSO DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION AROUND 12Z
AND CONTINUE THROUGH 15Z...IN ADDITION TO THE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THROUGH AT LEAST 6Z SATURDAY.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS...NORTHEAST
LOUISIANA AND CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT AND FRIDAY

ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY RAIN AND LOCALLY STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TONIGHT AS THE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN
ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS REGION CONTINUES. STORMS SWEEPING ACROSS THE
AREA LAST NIGHT HAVE PUSHED UNSTABLE AIR TEMPORARILY TOWARD THE GULF
COAST...BUT EXPECT BUILDING SOUTHERLY FLOW TO BEGIN TO RETURN MOIST
AND UNSTABLE AIR BACK IN FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO THIS AFTERNOON. THE
COMBINATION OF A RETURNING WARM FRONT...MOIST AND UNSTABLE SOUTHERLY
FLOW FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO...AND ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE
MOVING THROUGH THE REGION IS EXPECTED TO BRING WIDESPREAD RAIN AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO MUCH OF THE REGION TONIGHT. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS
SEVERE WEATHER IS MOST LIKELY TONIGHT SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE TWENTY
CORRIDOR WHERE LEVELS OF INSTABILITY AND WIND SHEAR WILL MAKE ALL
MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE. IN ADDITION...RAINFALL AMOUNTS
LOCALLY UP TO 3 INCHES IN THESE AREAS WILL BRING A FLOODING RISK.
FURTHER NORTH...LOWER LEVELS OF INSTABILITY WILL MAKE THE POTENTIAL
FOR SEVERE WEATHER LOWER...BUT HEAVY RAINFALL OVER ONE INCH IN SOME
AREAS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE. GIVEN THE RECENT HEAVY RAINFALL...THESE
AMOUNTS ALSO HAVE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE FLOODING PROBLEMS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY

A MORE POWERFUL STORM SYSTEM WILL BE GATHERING OVER THE ARKLATEX
REGION ON FRIDAY AND PUSHING NORTHEAST WITH IMPRESSIVE
MOISTURE...INSTABILITY AND WIND SHEAR COMBINING ACROSS OUR REGION FOR
AN OUTBREAK OF SEVERE STORMS INCLUDING TORNADOES FROM FRIDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. MOST OF THE AREA WILL BE AT RISK FOR
SEVERE STORMS THROUGH THE NIGHT. RESIDENTS SHOULD STAY WEATHER ALERT
FOR UPDATES ON THIS DANGEROUS STORM SYSTEM. IN ADDITION TO THE SEVERE
WEATHER RISK...RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BRING LOCALIZED RAIN
AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES TO AREAS WHERE THE GROUND IS ALREADY
SATURATED. THIS WILL CAUSE ADDITIONAL FLOODING CONCERNS.

OTHERWISE...THE PROBABILITY FOR WIDESPREAD HAZARDOUS WEATHER WILL BE
LOW FROM SATURDAY THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY.

.SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...
THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...HAM RADIO OPERATORS...AND
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL IN SUPPORT OF SEVERE WEATHER
OPERATIONS...MAY BE NEEDED TONIGHT...AND WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED
FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY NIGHT.
