AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1120 AM CDT THU OCT 15 2009

.DISCUSSION...ANOTHER ROUND OF ACTIVE WEATHER IS AFFECTING THE
ARKLAMISS THIS MORNING. AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT FROM CENTRAL AR IS
MOVING TOWARDS THE SE...AND A COMPLEX OF RAIN WITH EMBEDDED TSRA HAS
BEEN NOTED FROM THE NW CORNER OF THE JAN CWA TO JUST NORTH OF
MADISON...AND SCT SHRA/TSRA IN THE GTR VICINITY. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WATCH 769 REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM FOR OUR LA PARISHES AND THE
WESTERN TIER OF COUNTIES IN SW MS...INCLUDING FRANKLIN. A WCN WAS
ISSUED TO CANCEL THE WATCH FOR ASHLEY COUNTY SINCE THE ACTIVE
CONVECTION HAS MOVED SOUTH OF THAT REGION AND THE ATMOSPHERE HAS
STABILIZED. EXPECT MORE SHRA/TSRA TO OVERSPREAD THE REST OF THE JAN
CWA...ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF A CROSSETT TO GREENVILLE TO GRENADA
LINE...THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE BEST CHANCE OF SVR WX WILL BE
ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-20...WITH HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS BEING THE
MAIN THREATS.

THE DENSE FOG ADVISORY THAT WAS IN EFFECT FOR THE JACKSON METRO AREA
AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT...GIVEN THAT VIS HAS
IMPROVED THROUGHOUT THE AREA AND THE LOW CLOUDS HAVE LIFTED SOME. THE
ADVECTION OF A VERY MOIST AIRMASS (DEWPOINTS OF 75 OR GREATER) OVER
A SHALLOW STABLE LAYER NEAR THE GROUND HAS RESULTED IN WIDESPREAD LOW
STRATUS OVER THE REGION SO FAR TODAY. GIVEN THE WIDESPREAD LOW CLOUDS
AND THE THICK CIRRUS CANOPY MOVING IN FROM THE MCS OVER NORTHERN
LA...ALONG WITH CURRENT TREND OF SLOWER THAN EXPECTED TEMP
RISES...DAYTIME HIGHS FOR THURSDAY WERE LOWERED ON THE ORDER OF 3 TO
5 DEGREES FOR MOST ZONES. IT WILL BE OPPRESSIVELY HUMID FOR THIS TIME
OF YEAR WITH DEWPOINTS WELL INTO THE 70S. THE GOOD NEWS HERE IS THAT
THIS WILL BE SHORT-LIVED AND COOLER AND MUCH DRIER AIR IS ON THE WAY
FOR FRIDAY UPDATED FORECAST PRODUCTS HAVE ALREADY BEEN SENT. /DH/

&&

.AVIATION...LOCAL REPORTING SITES ARE CONTINUING TO INDICATE WIDESPREAD
IFR CIGS NORTH OF HBG AS OF 16Z. THERE MAY STILL BE A FEW AREAS OF
OVC004 OR LESS...BUT THESE SHOULD IMPROVE TO IFR SHORTLY. VIS HAS
ALSO STARTED TO IMPROVE TO ROUGHLY 5SM IN BR FOR MOST LOCATIONS ALONG
AND NORTH OF A TVR TO MEI LINE. FURTHER TO THE SOUTH...VIS HAS BEEN
7SM OR BETTER WITH MORE BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS. IN ADDITION TO THE LOW
CLOUDS...WHICH ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE
DAY...THERE WILL ALSO BE NUMEROUS SHRA/TSRA FOR LOCATION SOUTH OF A
GLH TO MEI LINE THROUGH 00Z...WITH LESS COVERAGE AT GWO AND GTR. THE
STRONGEST CONVECTION SHOULD BE CONFINED ALONG AND SOUTH OF A TVR TO
PIB LINE. MAX CB TOPS TO 55KFT. TURBULENCE IS ALSO EXPECTED IN VCT OF
TSRA. IN ADDITION...A PIREP REPORT OF TURBULENCE HAS BEEN REPORTED AT
9KFT IN CENTRAL MS. /DH/
