AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
457 AM CDT WED MAY 6 2009

...SEVERE WEATHER AND FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE TODAY...

...DISCUSSION...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE
FORECAST WILL BE ON TODAY WHERE THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER AND
FLASH FLOODING EXISTS ACROSS A GOOD BIT OF THE FORECAST AREA.  THE
WARM FRONT CONTINUES TO SLOWLY LIFT NORTHWARD ACROSS MAINLY NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST ARA THIS MORNING.  THIS HAS ALLOWED
MOISTURE TO SURGE NORTHWARD INTO THE REGION AS SITES SOUTH OF THE
FRONT ARE OBSERVING DEW POINTS AROUND 70. MEANWHILE...JUST NORTH OF
THE FRONT...STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION STRETCHES EAST TO WEST FROM
NORTH ALABAMA... THROUGH NORTH MISSISSIPPI...AND THROUGH SOUTH
CENTRAL ARKANSAS.

THIS COMPLEX OF STORMS...NOW MOVING INTO SOUTH ARKANSAS AND
NORTHWEST MISSISSIPPI...WILL CONTINUE TO STEADILY MOVE EAST
SOUTHEAST OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND IMPACT MY NORTHERN ZONES FIRST
OFF THIS MORNING...AND CONTINUE TO DROP FURTHER EAST SOUTHEAST INTO
THE AFTERNOON.  THIS COMPLEX RESIDES IN THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF AN
UPPER LEVEL JET THATS NOSING EAST AND SOUTHWARD INTO THE ARKLATEX
REGION.  THIS ENHANCEMENT COUPLED WITH THE FORCING ALONG THE
NORTHWARD MOVING BOUNDARY...STEEP LAPSE RATES...AND GOOD INSTABILITY
WILL ALLOW THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL...AS
WELL A FEW TORNADOES TO EXIST ACROSS MY NORTH THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS.  SEVERAL BOW ECHOES ARE ALSO BEING OBSERVED WITH THIS
ACTIVITY AS IT BEGINS TO SKIRT THE FAR NORTHERN PARTS OF MY CWA.

IN ADDITION TO THIS...GIVEN THAT THIS CURRENT ACTIVITY IS GENERALLY
MOVING ALONG A WEST NORTHWEST TO EAST SOUTHEAST TRAJECTORY...ITS
TRAINING ACROSS THE SAME LOCATIONS.  AS A RESULT...A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL THIS AFTERNOON FOR LOCATIONS GENERALLY
ALONG AND NORTH OF A RAYVILLE LOUISIANA...TO VICKSBURG
MISSISSIPPI...TO YAZOO CITY...TO LEXINGTON...TO MACON LINE.  GIVEN
HOW THINGS PLAY OUT THROUGH THE LATE MORNING HOURS...THIS AREA COULD
BE EXPANDED IN AREA AS WELL AS EXTENDED IN TIME AS THIS ACTIVITY
CONTINUES TO DROP FURTHER EAST SOUTHEAST.

ANOTHER COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS IS ALSO BEGINNING TO EVOLVE ACROSS
SOUTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA THIS MORNING AS A PRETTY DECENT UPPER TROUGH
CONTINUES TO SWING THROUGH THAT AREA.  I DONT THINK THE WARM FRONT
IS GOING TO MOVE TOO MUCH FURTHER TO THE NORTH THAN WHAT IT ALREADY
HAS SINCE ITS BEGINNING TO INTERACT WITH THE ONGOING CONVECTION
ACROSS THE NORTH.  MEANWHILE...AS THE TROUGH CONTINUES TO SWING EAST
ACROSS THE AREA...AND WITH A PRETTY DECENT UPPER LEVEL JET
CONTINUING TO DRIVE SOUTHEAST...THE COMPLEX OF STORMS THATS
CURRENTLY BEGINNING TO IMPACT MY NORTHERN ZONES...AS WELL AS THE
EVOLVING COMPLEX OVER SOUTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA...WILL EVOLVE INTO A
LINE OF CONVECTION THATS DRIVEN SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF
MY CWA DURING THE DAY...BY THE BEFORE MENTIONED UPPER JET.

DURING THIS TIME FRAME...ESSENTIALLY FOR TODAY AND INTO THE EVENING
HOURS...I SEE ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE...INCLUDING THE
THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING AS A GOOD BIT OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL TRAIN
ACROSS THE SAME AREAS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS MY NORTH WHICH HAS ALREADY
RECEIVED RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS ON THE ORDER OF 2
TO 5 INCHES.  WITH SUCH A PUSH ALOFT BY THE UPPER JET...SEVERAL
BOWING SEGMENTS WITHIN STORMS CAN BE EXPECTED WHICH WILL PRODUCE
STRONG DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS.  THEN WITH VERY STEEP LAPSE
RATES AND AMPLE AMOUNTS OF INSTABILITY EXPECTED...LARGE HAIL IS
LIKELY WITH SIZES RANGING FROM AT LEAST PENNY TO GOLF BALL SIZE.
ALSO A FEW TORNADOES CANT BE RULED OUT.

FOR TONIGHT...LOOK FOR THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER...AS WELL AS
FLASH FLOODING TO SHIFT MORE TO THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST
AREA...BUT BEGIN TO SLOWLY WANE DOWN.

FOR THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT...THE PICTURE OF WHAT WILL
TRANSPIRE CLOUDS UP QUICKLY...AND WILL LIKELY HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE
WHAT EVOLVES AND FORECAST FROM THERE TO GAIN ANY CONFIDENCE IN
EXACTLY WHAT PLAYS OUT.  SOME MODELS WANT TO BLOW THROUGH ANOTHER
COMPLEX OF SHOWERS AND STORMS EITHER THROUGH OR NEAR THE CWA...WHILE
OTHERS FOR THE MOST PART KEEP US DRY.  GUIDANCE POPS CAME IN
DRASTICALLY LOWER THAN PREVIOUS ADVERTISED NUMBERS.  THE AIRMASS
OVER THE CWA WILL CERTAINLY TAKE A GOOD HIT BY TODAYS
CONVECTION...BUT IN THE SOUTH THERE COULD BE SOME UNUSED/UNTAPPED
JUICE WHICH COULD ALLOW SOME ACTIVITY TO DEVELOP DURING THE HEAT OF
THE DAY THURSDAY.  AS A RESULT I DID UP POPS HERE JUST ENOUGH TO GET
A SLIGHT CHANCE OF CONVECTION MENTIONED IN THE ZONES.  THEN FOR
THURSDAY NIGHT...SEVERAL MODELS WERE SHOWING ANOTHER MCS RACING
EASTWARD ACROSS THE MID SOUTH AND TENNESSEE VALLEY REGIONS.  AS A
RESULT...I INCREASED POPS IN THE NORTH TO REFLECT THIS. /19/

FRIDAY THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY...THE OVERALL PATTERN AND WHAT THE
LATEST FORECAST GUID SUGGESTS IS NOT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THE PREV FEW
RUNS. MODELS DONT REALLY INDICATE MUCH OF A DISTURBANCE MOVING
ACROSS THE AREA...BUT I WOULDNT BE SURPRISED TO SEE SOME CONVECTIVE
BOUNDARY SET UP ACROSS THE NORTH AND SUPPORT STORMS. THERE APPEARS TO
BE A BETTER WAVE FOR SAT AND THAT WOULD HELP WITH THE STORM CHANCES
AND HELP PUSH A WEAK FRONT INTO THE CWA. AS HAS BEEN THE
CASE...TIMING THESE FEATURES REMAINS VERY DIFFICULT AND MESO-SCALE
FEATURES WILL CARRY A LOT OF WEIGHT ON HOW THINGS EVOLVE. THE MODELS
HAVE BEEN WANTING TO STAY WELL N OF THE AREA DURING THIS TIME...BUT
OBSERVED TRENDS OF LATE HAVE PROVEN THE MODELS WRONG AND ACTIVITY HAS
OCCURRED MUCH FURTHER SOUTH.

BY EARLY SUN...MODELS HAVE A SFC COOL FRONT DISSECTING THE CWA AND
THIS BOUNDARY LINGERS INTO MON. MOISTURE WILL REMAIN HIGH ALONG AND
S OF THIS FEATURE AND EVEN AS UPPER RIDING DEVELOPS...THERE MAY BE A
WINDOW FOR CONVECTION UNTIL HGHTS GET TOO HIGH AND CAPPING TAKES
OVER. THIS RIDGING LOOKS TO DEVELOP BY TUE INTO WED AND THAT SHOULD
PUT AN END TO PRECIP CHANCES AN ALLOW FOR SOME WARM READINGS IN THE
TEMP DEPARTMENT.

AS FOR THE FORECAST ELEMENTS FRI-MON...GUID TEMPS SEEM REASONABLE
AND HAVE FOLLOWED. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE ON FRI AS THE LATEST GUID
HAS REALLY WARMED AND IM NOT READY TO HIT ON THE 90-92 VALUES JUST
YET. I LOWERED NEARLY ALL AREAS AROUND 2 DEGREES. AS FOR POPS...GUID
SEEMED A TAD TOO LOW FRI-FRI NIGHT AND HAVE STAYED WITH OUR PREV
FORECAST. AS FOR SAT-WED...GUID SEEMED TO COVER THINGS WELL WITH THE
SFC FRONT LINGERING...THEN DRY THINGS OUT BY TUE-WED. OVERALL...POPS
WILL RANGE FROM 20-40% WITH THE N HALF HAVING THE MAIN SHOT AT
PRECIP FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE EXTENDED. /CME/

BECOME STRONG AND PERHAPS SEVERE...AND LAST INTO THIS EVENING.

STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING THROUGH MIDDAY WEDNESDAY ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI. A
COMPLEX OF STORMS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NORTHWEST OF THE OUTLOOK
