AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
415 AM CDT MON MAY 11 2009

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY...LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS HAS
THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY NEAR THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR. THIS
BOUNDARY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE FOCUS FOR MAINLY AFTERNOON AND
EVENING THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT TODAY...BUT ITS THE SERIES OF
DISTURBANCES IN THE PERSISTENT WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT THAT IS
PROVIDING EARLY ACTION ON THE RADARS THIS MORNING. THE DISTURBANCE
THAT BROUGHT OUR SUNDAY EVENINGS COMPLEX WAS NOTED OVER WESTERN
GEORGIA. THE CURRENT DISTURBANCE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MORNINGS
ACTIVITY WAS NOTED OVER THE DELTA AND FARTHER UPSTREAM ANOTHER
DISTURBANCE WAS NOTED OVER EASTERN NEW MEXICO AIDING DEVELOPMENT
OVER THE TEXAS PANHANDLE AND WESTERN OKLAHOMA. WITH SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE CENTERED NORTH OF OUR CWFA PROVIDING A NORTH WIND TODAY AND
OUTFLOW FROM THIS MORNINGS ACTIVITY...THE BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY
SLIDE SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 20 BY THIS AFTERNOON. THE 00Z JAN SOUNDING
HAD A PW OF 1.81 INCHES. THE DEEP MOISTURE AND GREATEST INSTABILITY
FOR ANY STRONG TO SEVERE STORM DEVELOPMENT WILL LIKELY SHIFT SOUTH
TO OVER OUR SOUTHERN ZONES TODAY. HOWEVER...CONSIDERING THE WET
SOILS IN OUR NORTH...THIS MORNINGS ACTIVITY AND ANOTHER POSSIBLE
COMPLEX LATER TODAY FROM THE NORTHWEST...HAVE ISSUED ANOTHER FLASH
FLOOD WATCH FOR TODAY ROUGHLY FROM WINNSBORO LOUISIANA TO YAZOO CITY
TO EUPORA MISSISSIPPI. WITH THE CLOUDS AND RAIN...QUITE A MAX TEMP
GRADIENT IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA TODAY. HIGHS SHOULD BE HELD IN
THE LOWER 70S NORTH AND IN THE MID 80S SOUTH. MOST OF THE CONVECTION
WILL DISSIPATE THIS EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. THE
EXCEPTION WOULD BE AN MCS FROM THE NORTHWEST. THE SURFACE HIGH TO
THE NORTH WILL CONTINUE SHIFTING EAST TONIGHT AND HELP PRODUCE A
SOUTHEAST WIND TUESDAY. THE STALLED BOUNDARY WILL BEGIN RETURNING
NORTH AS A WEAK WARM FRONT. THIS WARM FRONT WILL SERVE AS THE FOCUS
FOR CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. HIGHEST POPS WILL BE
CARRIED OVER THE NORTHERN HALF. /22/

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...RATHER ZONAL FLOW WILL
CONTINUE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO THE WEDNESDAY. BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON
INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT WE SEE A SHORTWAVE BEGIN TO DIP FROM THE UPPER
MIDWEST TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES REGION.  THIS WILL BRING A BOUNDARY
TOWARD THE ARKLAMISS REGION WEDNESDAY NIGHT...BUT THIS BOUNDARY IS
EXPECTED TO STALL NORTH OVER THE REGION SO THAT IT WILL NOT IMPACT
THE CWFA.  AS A RESULT THE AREA SHOULD BE RATHER QUIET ON WEDNESDAY.

BY THURSDAY THE BOUNDARY NORTH OF THE CWFA SHOULD BE PHASING OUT.
RETURN FLOW WILL EXIST OVER THE CWFA THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
WORK WEEK. FOR THURSDAY THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF SATURDAY IT LOOKS
LIKE THE AREA WILL SEE DIURNAL CONVECT EACH AFTERNOON...WITH
CONVECTION BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD BY SATURDAY WITH INCREASING
MOISTURE OVER THE AREA.

THIS WEEKEND THE UPPER PATTERN WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT TO MORE AMPLIFIED
IN NATURE. THIS WILL BRING A BROAD UPPER TROUGH TOWARD THE EASTERN
CONUS FOR THE END OF THE WEEKEND.  THIS SHOULD BRING ANOTHER
BOUNDARY TOWARD THE ARKLAMISS REGION FOR SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY
TO ALLOW FOR CONVECTION OVER THE ARKLAMISS REGION DURING THIS TIME
PERIOD.  THE BOUNDARY AT THIS TIME LOOKS AS IF IT WILL MOVE OUT OF
THE CWFA BY SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING WITH HIGH PRESSURE
MOVING INTO THE REGION.  TIMING AND DETAILS WITH THIS BOUNDARY ARE
RATHER UNCERTAIN AS THE ECMWF IS SLIGHTLY SLOWER WITH GETTING THE
BOUNDARY OUT OF THE CWFA.  HAVE GENERALLY REMAINED WITH GUI FOR
NOW ON POPS FOR THIS TIME PERIOD.

TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WORK WEEK WILL CONTINUE TO BE WARM AND
SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN AVERAGE. TOWARD THE WEEKEND TEMPERATURES WILL
BE A LITTLE COOLER WITH CLOUD COVER AND PRECIP EXPECTED AS THE
BOUNDARY IS MOVING THROUGH THE CWFA.  OVERALL HAVE REMAINED
RELATIVELY CLOSE TO GUI FOR TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE EXTENDED. /14/

&&

.AVIATION...CONVECTION HAS REDEVELOPED A LITTLE FASTER THAN EXPECTED
EARLY THIS MORNING...ESPECIALLY AFTER THE COMPLEX THAT WENT THROUGH
SUNDAY EVENING. RADARS SHOW SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE NORTH MOVING EAST SOUTHEAST INTO THE CENTRAL PORTIONS OF
THE AREA. VFR CONDITIONS ARE BEING OBSERVED OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF
WITH IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS NORTH. CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO
DETERIORATE THIS MORNING IN THE SOUTH AS THE STORMS SPREAD SOUTH.
CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE ANOTHER COMPLEX OF
STORMS BEGINS MOVING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST. /22/
