Severe Thunderstorm Warning 206, NWS Jackson, MS

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
459 PM CDT MON MAY 24 2010

.UPDATE...

A LINE OF SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDS
FROM EASTERN ARKANSAS EASTWARD INTO NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI. A WELL-
DEFINED OUTFLOW BOUNDARY HAS PUSHED SOUTH OF THE AFOREMENTIONED
CONVECTION AND IS PRESENTLY ENTERING THE NORTHERN CWA WEST OF
INTERSTATE 55. CONVERGENCE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE INITIATION ACROSS THE NORTHWEST
DELTA REGION...AND THE FORECAST HAS BEEN UPDATED TO RAISE POPS IN
THIS REGION FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON. POPS WERE ALSO RAISED
ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN MISSISSIPPI FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS
AFTERNOON...WHERE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE OCCURRING. /COHEN/

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 355 PM CDT MON MAY 24 2010/

SHORT TERM...A COUPLE OF WEAK IMPULSES WILL MAINTAIN THE RISK OF
ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS THIS EVENING. THE FIRST IS DROPPING
INTO NRN MS THIS AFTERNOON WHILE A SECOND SYSTEM IS PIVOTING INTO
SWRN ZONES. WITH CAPE VALUES CLOSE TO 2000 AND VERTICAL TOTALS IN
THE UPPER 20S THE AIR MASS IS MORE THAN UNSTABLE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT
STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION. DEEPER MOISTURE REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS
MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA BUT A FETCH OF DRIER AIR FROM THE EAST HAS
RESULTED IN LOWER DEWPOINTS OVER ERN ZONES. SURFACE DEWPOINTS HAVE
MIXED TO 61 AT MEI AND BACK EAST INTO AL BUT REMAIN IN THE UPPER 60S
TO NEAR 70 RANGE ALONG THE I-55 CORRIDOR AND WWD. WILL KEEP ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE EVENING HOURS DUE TO REDEVELOPMENT OF
CONVECTION ALONG OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WITH A MENTION OF ISOLATED
SEVERE IN THE HWO FOR CENTRAL AND WRN AREAS.

UPPER RIDGING WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE WAY TO BROAD UPPER TROUGHING TO
OUR EAST. THIS WILL MEAN A CONTINUED CHANCE OF AT LEAST AFTERNOON
AND EVENING CONVECTION FOR MOST OF THE AREA WELL INTO THE WORK WEEK.
TIMING OF WAVES IN THE RESULTING NLY FLOW OVER OUR AREA WILL BE A
SIGNIFICANT FACTOR IN DETERMINING THE OCCURRENCES OF BETTER
CONVECTION COVERAGE...MAKING THE EXACT PLACEMENT OF THE BEST RAIN
CHANCES EACH PERIOD DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN. PRECIP WATER WILL REMAIN
WELL ABOVE 1.5 INCHES THROUGH THE SHORT TERM OVER WRN ZONES. THE
FETCH OF DRIER AIR OVER ERN ZONES IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE TUESDAY
ALTHOUGH IT WILL WEAKEN WITH TIME. WILL KEEP LOWEST POPS ERN ZONES
FOR TOMORROW BUT MAINTAIN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE ENTIRE
REGION FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. INCREASED TUESDAY POPS
SLIGHTLY OVER MAV SINCE WE REMAIN IN THE TRACK FOR UPPER IMPULSES IN
AN UNSTABLE AND WARM AIR MASS. MAV AFTERNOON HIGHS LOOKED A BIT TOO
COOL FOR TOMORROW AND WERE HOISTED A COUPLE OF DEGREES HIGHER.

BETTER SYNOPTIC FORCING IS SUGGESTED BY WEDNESDAY WHEN A LOBE OF THE
UPPER TROUGH PIVOTS IN FROM THE N. GENERAL ASCENT WITH THIS FEATURE
DOES NOT LOOK IMPRESSIVE BUT AS CYCLONIC FLOW DEVELOPS AT THE 850 MB
LEVEL IN RESPONSE TO A DEVELOPING WAVE TO THE EAST THIS SHOULD
PROVIDE AN EXTRA PUSH FOR AFTERNOON TSTM DEVELOPMENT. WE WILL
MAINTAIN A MENTION OF ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
HWO WELL INTO THE WORK WEEK.

LONG TERM...A CLOSED UPPER LOW OFF THE SOUTH ATLANTIC COAST WILL
PROVIDE SOME MOISTURE CONVERGENCE FOR THE REGION WITH ML CAPES OF
AROUND 2000 AND PRECIPITABLE WATER AROUND 1.8 INCHES WITH LOW CIN.
THIS WILL HELP TO PROMOTE DIURNAL CONVECTION THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.
IMPULSES WILL COME DOWN THE REGION IN NORTHERLY FLOW. THIS WILL COME
DOWN IN THE FORM OF WEAK BOUNDARIES...WHICH WILL PROVIDE SOME LIFT
FOR DIURNAL CONVECTION TO OCCUR. AS WE GO INTO THE WEEKEND THE UPPER
RIDGE AXIS WILL SPREAD INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST. THIS WILL
LIMIT OUR CHANCES OF DIURNAL CONVECTION AS WE GET SOME HEIGHT RISES
COMING INTO THE REGION. PRECIPITABLE WATER WILL DIP DOWN TO AROUND
ONE INCH FOR THE WEEKEND. THE UPPER TROUGH WILL EVENTUALLY BRING A
BACK DOOR FRONT TOWARD THE REGION AS WE GO INTO THE REGION...BUT
WILL IT WILL BECOME STATIONARY NORTHEAST OF THE REGION WITH THE
UPPER RIDGE BECOMING MORE ESTABLISHED. SO FOR THIS WEEKEND DIURNAL
CONVECTION SHOULD BECOME MORE ISOLATED. THIS WAS AGREED UPON BY THE
ENSEMBLES WHICH SHOWED THE REGION UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE UPPER
TROUGH UNTIL THE WEEKEND. THE EURO SEEMS TO BE AN OUTLIER IN WHICH
AN IMPULSE OVER THE WEEKEND DEVELOPS A CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER THE
REGION. IT HAS THIS FEATURE MOVING EAST OF THE REGION BY MONDAY
EVENING. SO IT KEEPS A BETTER CHANCE OF RAIN OVER THE REGION. SO
THIS SOLUTION WAS DISCARDED. AS WE GO INTO MONDAY FLAT UPPER RIDGING
WILL DEVELOP OVER THE REGION... A WEAK SHORT WAVE WILL MOVE INTO THE
REGION BY MONDAY EVENING...AS PRECIPITABLE WATER INCREASES FROM THE
NORTH TO AROUND 1.3 INCHES.

AS FAR AS POPS ARE CONCERN MADE SLIGHTLY HIGHER ADJUSTMENTS TO MEX
POPS THROUGH FRIDAY. THEN WENT WITH MEX LOW POPS FOR SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY.

AS FAR AS TEMPS ARE CONCERN MADE SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS TO MEX...MOS AND
MEN GUIDANCE. GOING GENERALLY WITH LOWS FROM MAINLY THE MIDDLE 60S
TO THE LOWER 70S AS WELL AS HIGHS FROM THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S.
THERE WERE SOME MIDDLE 80S MODEL HIGHS IN WHICH I WAS NOT VERY
CONFIDENT WITH./17/

.AVIATION...
ISO/SCT TSRA ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING...MAINLY AFFECTING GWO/GLH AND JAN BRINGING WITH IT
OCCASIONAL MVFR/IFR TO THOSE AFFECTED. OTHER THAN THAT...ANY SITE
THAT GETS SOME PRECIP WILL HAVE THE RISK OF GETTING SOME OF OUR
SUMMER TYPICAL MVFR VIS CONDITIONS AFTER 09Z TUE MORNING. /15/
