AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
314 PM CDT FRI AUG 13 2010

...EXCESSIVE HEAT TO CONTINUE IN THE DELTA INTO THE WEEKEND...AND
EXPAND OVER MUCH OF THE AREA BY SUNDAY...

.SHORT TERM...COMPLEX FORECAST SCENARIO THIS AFTERNOON WITH MULTIPLE
WEATHER HAZARDS TO CONTEND WITH. FIRST OFF AS EXPECTED MORNING
CONVECTIVE BAND FROM N OF JAN TO N OF HEZ HAS DISSIPATED...WITH NEW
CONVECTION FIRING IN A RING ON THE DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARY
SURROUNDING IT. A FEW POTENT STORMS HAVE BEEN OBSERVED DUE TO THE
DECENT INSTABILITY AND EXCESSIVE MOISTURE WITH PW VALUES OVER 2.5
INCHES AREAWIDE. COULD HAVE A FEW SVR AND FLASH FLOOD REPORTS INTO
THE EVENING...BUT EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO GRADUALLY DIMINISH WITH
LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE TROPICAL MOISTURE OVER
THE AREA AND THE PROXIMITY OF THE CIRCULATION ASSOCIATED WITH OLD TD
5...EXPECT THAT ACTIVITY COULD REDEVELOP AGAIN TOWARD MORNING AS IS
COMMON WITH THESE TROPICAL SYSTEMS. MOST LIKELY AREA FOR
REDEVELOPMENT WOULD BE ALONG AND SE OF NATCHEZ TRACE CORRIDOR CLOSER
TO THE REMNANT CIRCULATION AND IN AN AREA OF MID/UPPER LEVEL FORCING
AS SHOWN BY WEAK 500-300 MB Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE. WENT WITH A BLEND
OF MAV/MET FOR POPS AND TEMPS TONIGHT.

FOR SATURDAY...MODELS AGREE ON TD 5 CIRCULATION CONTINUING TO LIFT
SLOWLY ENE ACROSS AL...WITH SOME SUBSIDENCE AND DRYING OF DEEP
MOISTURE MOVING IN TO NW SECTIONS OF FORECAST AREA. EXPECT TO SEE
BANDS OF SHRA/TSRA BUILD TO THE W OF THE REMNANT CIRCULATION SIMILAR
TO TODAY...WITH GREATEST COVERAGE ACROSS EASTERN AREAS. WILL CONTINUE
TO MENTION LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IN HWO. MAV POPS OVERALL LOOK
REASONABLE. FOR SAT NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...LOW CONTINUES TO DRIFT A
LITTLE FARTHER AWAY...WHICH SHOULD GRADUALLY REDUCE POPS FROM THE W
SAT NIGHT. BY SUNDAY...FORECAST AREA WILL BE IN BETWEEN WEAK BOUNDARY
DROPPING IN FROM THE N AND TD 5 REMNANTS TO THE ESE OVER AL. MOISTURE
WILL REMAIN PLENTIFUL WITH PW VALUES AOA 2 INCHES...BUT NOT AS
EXCESSIVE AS CURRENTLY. WILL CARRY SLGT CHC TO CHC POPS AREAWIDE WITH
GREATEST POPS IN E WHERE MOISTURE IS BEST. MAV POPS LOOK OK.

AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES...WILL AGAIN BE VERY DIFFICULT OVER EASTERN
TWO-THIRDS OF AREA SAT AS WHERE CLOUDS/PCPN OCCUR GUIDANCE WILL
LIKELY BE SOMEWHAT TOO WARM...WHILE WHERE MORE BREAKS OCCUR MAX TEMPS
WILL BE READILY ACHIEVABLE. CURRENT HEAT ADVISORY COULD BE A BIT IFFY
ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF IT IF CLOUDS/RAIN SET UP RIGHT...BUT WILL
LEAVE FOR NOW. FARTHER NW INTO THE UPPER DELTA...CONFIDENCE IS HIGHER
THAT EXCESSIVE HEAT WILL OCCUR. LOOK TO BE MEETING THE 110 HEAT INDEX
FOR 3 HOUR CRITERIA IN THIS AREA TODAY. COOP OBSERVATIONS SHOW LOWS
HAVE ONLY BEEN GETTING DOWN TO AROUND 80 IN THESE AREAS LAST COUPLE
OF MORNINGS...AND SEE NO REASON TO EXPECT THAT SIMILAR OPPRESSIVE
CONDITIONS WILL NOT CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND. IN FACT...AS THE
BOUNDARY CURRENTLY OVER THE MIDWEST DROPS S...THERMAL RIDGE WILL
SHIFT MORE INTO THE AREA FROM THE NW...AND SHOULD ALSO SEE INCREASED
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE POOLING AHEAD OF BOUNDARY. HENCE WILL GO WITH AN
EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING FOR THE FAR NW COUNTIES AND PARISHES THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. BY SUNDAY...AS INFLUENCE OF TD FIVE REMAINS BECOMES
SOMEWHAT LESS...EXPECT THAT HEAT WILL BUILD EAST INTO MORE OF THE
AREA. HENCE WILL EXTEND CURRENT HEAT ADVISORY INTO SUNDAY. WILL
LIKELY NEED TO EXPAND THAT ADVISORY AND EXTEND IT INTO MONDAY...BUT
WILL DEFER THIS TO LATER SHIFTS TO PINPOINT.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THE HEAT SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE THE DOMINANT
FEATURE WITH VALUES AOA 100 COMMON ESPECIALLY NORTHERN AND WESTERN
AREAS. GFS HAS NOW COME INTO AGREEMENT WITH ECMWF IN TAKING REMNANTS
OF TD 5 BACK OVER THE FAR NORTHERN GULF AND THEN W ALONG THE COAST
INTO SE TX. THIS IS A CHANGE FROM OVERNIGHT WHEN GFS SHOWED SYSTEM
HAVING MORE OF A DIRECT IMPACT ON OUR AREA...AND IS A SOLUTION THAT
IS SUPPORTED BY 12Z GFS ENSEMBLE. IF THIS PANS OUT...THE LONG TERM
FORECAST WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE TRENDED DRIER AND WARMER...
ESPECIALLY TOWARD DAYS 6/7 WHEN THE 12Z MODELS SHOW 500 MB RIDGE AND
THERMAL AXIS BUILDING INTO THE AREA AGAIN AND INCREASE THE THREAT OF
MORE EXCESSIVE HEAT. FOR NOW HAVE ONLY MADE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO LONG
TERM...BUT LATER SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO LOOK AT THESE TRENDS CLOSELY.

&&

.AVIATION...SOLID PRECIP CHANCES WILL EXIST TODAY ACROSS THE S HALF
AND IMPACT THE 3 SOUTHERN SITES. AT THIS TIME...VFR CONDITIONS LOOK
TO PREVAIL THROUGH ATLEAST 06Z...OUTSIDE OF ANY CONVECTION. I WILL
TRY AND TIME STORMS IMPACTING THE SITES CLOSER AND HAVE RESTRICTED
CONDITIONS FOR A SHORTER DURATION. AS IMPACT ON ANY PARTICULAR SITE
BECOME MORE CLEAR...WILL AMD TO COVER THOSE. AT THIS TIME...HEAVY
PRECIP LOOKS TO REDUCE VIS TO AROUND 1SM WITH CEILINGS 1500-2500 FT.
THERE SEEMS TO BE THE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF MORNING
ACTIVITY TONIGHT...BUT WITH THE AXIS SHIFTED TOWARD THE I-59
CORRIDOR. WILL COVER THIS WITH VCSH AFTER 10Z FOR MEI/HBG. OUTSIDE
THAT...THERE COULD BE SOME TYPICAL MORNING MVFR VIS RESTRICTIONS
AFTER 09Z UNTIL 13Z.                                       /CME/
