AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
834 AM CDT SUN MAY 2 2010

.UPDATE...WATER VAPOR IMAGES STARTING TO SHOW A SUBTROPICAL JET
STREAK HEADING TOWARD THE GULF COAST WITH INCREASING CELLULAR
CONVECTION ACROSS THE LOWER MS VALLEY. TRAINING ECHOES WILL BE
A GREATER CONCERN FOR FLASH FLOODING IN LOCATIONS ALREADY GETTING
SEVERAL INCHES OF RAINFALL. SPC HAS GONE AHEAD WITH TOR WW133 FOR
MOST LOCATIONS E OF THE MS RIVER UNTIL 3 PM SO PRODUCTS UPDATED./40/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 420 AM CDT SUN MAY 2 2010/

..SEVERE STORMS TODAY WITH FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL NORTH...

SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)...TROPICAL PLUME OF 2.1
INCH PWAT AIR CONTINUES STREAMING NWD FROM THE YUCATAN RIGHT ALONG
90W ON LATEST SATELLITE DPI TPW. SOME POCKETS OF VERY MOIST 2.5 INCH
PWATS ALSO DISCERNABLE FOR VERY EFFICIENT RAINFALL RATES FROM THROUGH
TODAY FOR LOCATIONS GENERALLY E OF THE MS RIVER THIS NEXT ROUND.
OVERALL WEAKENING OF LOW LEVEL SHEAR PARAMETERS EXPECTED BY THIS
AFTERNOON AS UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW SETTING UP W OF I-55 THIS MORNING.
EVEN SO...A WINDOW OF STRONGER 0-1KM AND 0-3KM VALUES WILL EXIST
BEFORE NOON MAINLY E OF I-55 TO SUPPORT AT LEAST A NON-ZERO RISK OF
TORNADOES. EXPECT SCATTERED TSRA TO CONTINUE FOR NRN THIRD OF THE
CWFA AT DAYBREAK TODAY WITH SOME INTENSIFICATION. FORTUNATELY
RAINFALL AMOUNTS ON SATURDAY REMAINED GENERALLY BELOW ONE INCH
HOWEVER THE INCOMING FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM AR/LA SHOULD SERVE TO
PROVIDE A BETTER FOCUS FOR FLASH FLOOD TYPE RAINS AS IT FINALLY
INTERCEPTS THE ABOVE MENTIONED TROPICAL PLUME. WILL EXTEND FLASH
FLOOD WATCH ALONG HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR PLUS A TIER OF COUNTIES SWD.

A FEW LOCATIONS BETWEEN CLEVELAND AND LOUISVILLE HAVE ALREADY SEEN 3
TO 4 INCHES OF RAINFALL THIS WEEKEND. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF
4 TO 5 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NRN HALF OF OUR CWFA WITH THE
THE SRN SECTIONS SEEING 2 TO 4 INCHES THROUGH EARLY MONDAY.

MLCAPES OF 1500-2500J/KG APPEAR TO BE AVAILABLE MUCH OF THE TIME
WITH SOUPY 72-75F SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN PLACE THROUGH EARLY TONIGHT.
REFER TO SPC PDS TOR WW131. ENOUGH INGREDIENTS STAY IN PLACE TO
SUPPORT AT LEAST ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WITH GOLF BALL SIZED
HAIL...TORNADOES AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS OF 70 MPH IN OUR CWFA.
HOWEVER...RATHER WEAK MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES TODAY PER CURRENT AND
PROGGED SOUNDINGS SHOULD BECOME EVEN MORE MOIST ADIABATIC PROFILES
FOR EARLY TONIGHT SO WE LOOK FOR HEAVY RAINS TO BECOME THE GREATER
CONCERN WITH TIME.

THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY ALONG A KHOT-KSHV-KIAH LINE SHOULD EDGE THROUGH
THE DELTA THIS AFTERNOON AND PUSH TO NEAR THE I-55 CORRIDOR AROUND
MIDNIGHT. THE 850MB THETA E AXIS OF 345K+ AIR ALONG THE NATCHEZ
TRACE PARKWAY THIS MORNING SHOULD EASE OVER TO ABOUT I-59 FOR
TONIGHT. SINCE FLOW PROGGED TO BE 40-50KTS...STORM TOTAL RAINS COULD
STILL ADD UP WITH SOME LOCATIONS NEARING 8 TO 10 INCHES IN NERN MS.
THE BEST MOISTURE AXIS EVENTUALLY PASSES SEWD THROUGH THE I-59
CORRIDOR EARLY MONDAY WHEN THE FRONTAL ZONE SLIDES INTO ERN MS ALONG
HIGHWAY 45.

POPS GENERALLY RAISED OVER GUIDANCE FOR MUCH OF THE CWFA TODAY AND
TONIGHT WHILE ACCEPTED FOR MONDAY AFTERNOON AND MONDAY NIGHT. HIGH
AND LOW TEMPS LOOKED REASONABLE EXCEPT FOR CUTTING MAXES AGAIN FOR
MAINLY NRN PORTIONS TODAY. /40/

LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...A ZONAL FLOW PATTERN WILL BE
IN PLACE ACROSS THE EASTERN CONUS ON TUESDAY...WITH A S/WV TROUGH
EMBEDDED IN THE WESTERLY FLOW CROSSING THE ARKLAMISS REGION AT THIS
TIME. THE INTERACTION OF THIS FEATURE WITH A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY
LYING ACROSS CENTRAL MS WILL KICK OFF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN
THE AFTERNOON. MOST OF THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE CONFINED EAST
OF I-55 ALTHOUGH IF THE SLIGHTLY SLOWER ECMWF VERIFIES...SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY COULD EASILY BE REALIZED WEST OF I-55 AS WELL.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL QUICKLY END TUESDAY EVENING AS
SUBSIDENCE IN WAKE OF THE S/WV MOVES ACROSS THE AREA.

A DRY STRETCH OF WEATHER CAN BE EXPECTED WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AS
ZONAL FLOW ALOFT COMBINES WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER
THE CAROLINAS. THIS WILL LEAVE THE ARKLAMISS IN SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL
FLOW ALLOWING WARM GULF AIR TO SURGE NORTH THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK. A COLD FRONT IS PROGGED TO CROSS THE REGION FRIDAY NIGHT
BRINGING A RETURN OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. NOT OVERLY EXCITED
ABOUT WIDESPREAD SEVERE POTENTIAL AT THIS TIME AS BEST DYNAMICS
APPEAR TO BE CONFINED WELL TO THE NORTH. WITH THAT SAID...0-6 KM
SHEAR OF 40-50KTS COUPLED WITH SFC BASED BUOYANCY OF 1500-2000J/KG IS
CERTAINLY CAPABLE OF PRODUCING RIGOROUS CONVECTION IF LIFT ALONG THE
FRONT CAN BREAK THE MEAGER 30-70J/KG SFC BASED CIN THAT WILL BE IN
PLACE. PRIMARY THREATS FOR ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL BE LARGE
HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS...WITH A MUCH LOWER RISK FOR TORNADOES.

SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES LOOK TO DIMINISH SLIGHTLY SATURDAY
AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE BOUNDARY PUSHES SOUTH HOWEVER
BOTH GFS/ECMWF SHOW SHOWERS RETURNING SUNDAY AS SOUTHERLY FLOW AND
ISENTROPIC LIFT ABOVE 900MB RETURN TO THE REGION. RELATIVELY WEAK
LAPSE RATES SHOULD KEEP THUNDER SOMEWHAT LIMITED ALTHOUGH ELEVATED
CONVECTION IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION AND WILL KEEP THUNDER
MENTIONED IN THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME.

AS FOR TEMPS...ABOVE NORMAL AFTERNOON HIGHS CAN BE EXPECTED THROUGH
THURSDAY HOWEVER GFS MOS LOOKED A LITTLE OVERZEALOUS TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY AND DID KNOCK GFS MOS HIGHS A DEGREE OR TWO AT A COUPLE
SPOTS DURING THIS TIME. HIGHS LOOK TO DROP BACK TO NEAR NORMAL
FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY BEHIND THE FRONT. OVERNIGHT LOWS NEXT WEEK
WILL ALSO BE RUNNING ABOVE NORMAL UNTIL THE WEEKEND WHEN A RETURN TO
NEAR NORMAL IS EXPECTED. /BK/

&&

.AVIATION...
AREAS OF IFR CONDITIONS AGAIN TODAY AS GULF STRATUS AND
APPROACHING STORM SYSTEM SETS OFF WIDESPREAD SHRA AND NUMEROUS
TSRA...ESPECIALLY NW OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE PARKWAY LOCATIONS.
VISIBILITIES WILL BE REDUCED TO LIFR AT TIMES IN RAIN AS VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL AND FLASH FLOODING WILL ALSO OCCUR WITH SOME OF THE STORMS.
BREEZY SSE WINDS OF 12-18KTS WITH GUSTS TO 22KTS ARE EXPECTED UNTIL
EARLY EVENING WHEN THEY DIE DOWN TO 10KTS OR SO AS THE STRONGER
GRADIENT WINDS MOVE TO NERN MS. OVERALL FLYING CONDITIONS ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO IMPROVE MUCH UNTIL ON MONDAY WHEN MVFR RETURNS. /40/
