AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
330 PM CDT SAT AUG 1 2009

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...LOCAL RADARS INDICATE
THAT DAYTIME HEATING IS LEADING TO A RASH OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS BREAKING OUT ACROSS THE WHOLE CWFA THIS AFTERNOON. THE
GREATEST COVERAGE THUS FAR HAS BEEN OVER OUR DELTA REGION. A MORE
ORGANIZED CLUSTER OF STORMS WAS NOTED OVER NORTHWEST LOUISIANA. THIS
CLUSTER WAS STILL AHEAD OF THE SHORTWAVE THAT WILL SWING ACROSS OUR
AREA LATER TONIGHT. AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING SHORTWAVE...CONVECTION
IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND ANY ORGANIZED STORM CLUSTERS
THAT DEVELOP WILL BRING A DAMAGING WIND THREAT AS WELL AS HEAVY
RAIN. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
FOR OUR HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR AND NORTH. AS THE SHORTWAVE CONTINUES
EAST...THE LARGE UPPER TROUGH AXIS OVER OUR REGION EMANATING FROM
THE UPPER LOW OVER MANITOBA WILL SHIFT EAST AS WELL. THIS WILL
RESULT IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT OVER OUR REGION AND SEND A WEAK COLD
FRONT INTO OUR CWFA AFTER MIDNIGHT. CURRENT CONVECTION WILL WEAKEN
THIS EVENING WILL THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING BUT REDEVELOP AFTER
MIDNIGHT ALONG THE COLD FRONT IN OUR NORTHWEST. THIS FRONT WILL
DRIFT SLOWLY INTO CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI BY NOON SUNDAY. THE NORTHWEST
FLOW ALOFT AND BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WILL BRING IN DRIER AIR OVER
OUR NORTHERN ZONES. PWS WILL DROP BELOW AN INCH AND A HALF THERE
WHILE REMAINING ABOVE TWO INCHES IN OUR SOUTH. THE DRIER AIR SHOULD
BEGIN TO LIMIT CONVECTION IN OUR NORTH BY AFTERNOON. THE FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN ZONES
SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE DISSIPATING BY MONDAY NIGHT. WL CARRY SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 20 SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY AND
DROP ALL MENTION OF RAIN FOR MONDAY NIGHT. GUIDANCE TEMPS WERE CLOSE
THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT AND GENERALLY ACCEPTED. MAV GUIDANCE LOOKED TOO
WARM IN THE NW ON MONDAY SO CUT A FEW DEGREES THERE BUT MID 90S LOOK
ACHIEVABLE FOR FOR THE NORTHERN HALF MONDAY. /22/

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK WILL
BRING A BREAK IN RAINFALL FOR SOME AREAS OF THE ARKLAMISS. FORCING
WILL WEAKEN AS DEEPER UPPER TROUGHING EXITS THE REGION WITH FLAT
ANTICYCLONIC FLOW FORECAST AT LOWER LEVELS. PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES REMAIN AT OR ABOVE 2 INCHES SRN ZONES HOWEVER AND WITH
AFTERNOON HEATING AND FORECAST CAPE VALUES IN EXCESS OF 2000 WILL
TREND TOWARD WETTER MOS WITH SCATTERED CONVECTION DURING THE
AFTERNOON THOSE AREAS. KEPT DRIER NUMBERS FOR THE NORTH AND TRIMMED
CENTRAL POPS SLIGHTLY. FOLLOWED DRIER POPS FOR TUESDAY ACROSS THE
REGION. UPPER FLOW BEGINS TO TIGHTEN A BIT WEDNESDAY...SETTING THE
STAGE FOR NWLY FLOW THAT WILL STEER WAVES INTO THE REGION LATER IN
THE WORK WEEK. WILL FINALLY SEE THE SURFACE TROUGH PUSH IN FROM THE
NW WEDNESDAY. THIS FEATURE WILL STALL OVER THE REGION WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...PROVIDING ADDITIONAL FORCING FOR CONVECTION
THURSDAY WHEN A VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE MOVES IN FROM THE NW. THE REGION
WILL BE POSITIONED IN THE RIGHT REAR QUADRANT OF AN EXITING UPPER
JET ADDING INCREASING MID LEVEL FLOW TO LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE. CONFIDENCE IN MODEL TIMING AND PROGRESSION IS SOMEWHAT
LIMITED THIS FAR OUT BUT THEY SUGGEST THAT STRONG CONVECTION MAY BE
SETTING UP FOR THE THURSDAY/THURSDAY EVENING PERIOD.

EXTENDED MODELS BEGIN TO DIFFER ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE WEATHER
PATTERN FOR FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND. THE GFS AND EURO AGREE THAT A
WAVE WILL BE POISED TO DROP INTO THE REGION THURSDAY BUT THE EURO IS
MUCH FASTER IN SHIFTING STRONGER FLOW TO OUR EAST AND SETS UP STRONG
UPPER RIDGING BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON. THE GFS IS SLOWER AND HOLDS ON TO
THE NWLY FLOW AND ASSOCIATED DISTURBANCES THROUGH MUCH OF THE
WEEKEND.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE ON THE INCREASE FOR THE AREA TUESDAY. THE
DECREASE IN AFTERNOON CONVECTION NRN/CENTRAL AREAS WILL RESULT IN
MORE DAYTIME HEATING BUT MOS NUMBERS FOR THE NORTH LOOK A BIT TOO
WARM CONSIDERING THE DAMP SOIL CONDITIONS THAT WILL PERSIST. ALSO
CUT HIGHS WEDNESDAY FOR NWRN ZONES SLIGHTLY. THE ARRIVAL OF THE
SURFACE BOUNDARY AND ASSOCIATED RAINFALL AHEAD OF IT WILL PREVENT
LOWER TO MID 90S FORECAST BY MOS. MODELS INDICATE A MUCH DRIER AIR
MASS IN THE WAKE OF THE SURFACE BOUNDARY FOR NRN ZONES FRIDAY
MORNING. WILL NOT BITE OFF ON SUCH DRASTIC COOLING YET AND WILL KEEP
LOWS NRN/ERN ZONES IN THE UPPER 60S FOR NOW. /03/

.AVIATION...MVFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO PREVAIL AT ALL SITES
THROUGH MUCH AFTERNOON AND INTO TONIGHT.  NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
STORMS THROUGH THAT HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON...
AND WILL CONTINUE TO BRING LOCALIZED IFR/LIFR CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITIES TO SITES WHERE THEY ARE OBSERVED.  WE SHOULD SEE A
DECENT BREAK IN THE ACTIVITY DURING THE FIRST HALF OF TONIGHT...
BEFORE ADDITIONAL CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATER AFTER
MIDNIGHT AND TOWARD DAYBREAK SUNDAY MORNING...OVER AREAS MAINLY
ALONG AND NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR.  TIMING THIS ACTIVITY
REMAINS DIFFICULT...AND ILL CONTINUE TO COVER LONG PERIODS WITH THE
CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL AND LOWER FLIGHT CONDITIONS...ESPECIALLY AT
SITES NORTH OF INTERSTATE 20. /19/
