AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
404 PM CST FRI DEC 31 2010

..SEVERE WEATHER EVENT ONGOING THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO TONIGHT...

.UPDATE...

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OKLAHOMA HAS ISSUED TORNADO
WATCH NUMBER 773 COVERING THE ENTIRE CWA UNTIL 11 PM. THIS WATCH ALSO
REPLACES THE PREVIOUS WATCH IN EFFECT. DESTABILIZATION CONTINUES
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...AS THE LOW-LEVEL MOIST AXIS EXPANDS
EASTWARD ACROSS THE REGION. STRONG DEEP-LAYER AND LOW-LEVEL SHEAR
WILL SUPPORT TORNADIC SUPERCELLS INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS ACROSS THE
ENTIRE CWA...WITH QUASI-LINEAR CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS ALSO CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING TORNADOES AND DAMAGING WINDS. /COHEN/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 345 PM CST FRI DEC 31 2010/

TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...
THE RISK FOR SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER IS RAMPING UP ACROSS THE
ARKLAMISS REGION. OVERALL...NWP GUIDANCE HAS BEEN UNDERCUTTING THE
DEGREE OF DESTABILIZATION FOR TODAY...BASED ON COMPARISON TO LATEST
OBSERVATIONS AND RUC ANALYSIS OUTPUT. THE SPECIAL 31/18Z KJAN RAOB
SOUNDING ALREADY SHOWS MUCH OF THE CAPPING INVERSION FROM THIS
MORNING HAVING BEEN ERODED IN RESPONSE TO COOLING IN THE 800-700-MB
LAYER AND SOME SURFACE HEATING. AROUND 600 J/KG OF SBCAPE WAS NOTED
IN THIS SOUNDING...WITH AROUND 30 J/KG OF CONVECTIVE INHIBITION. THIS
IS SHOWN IN THE LATEST RUC MESO-ANALYSIS...WHICH INDICATES A BROAD
ZONE OF POSITIVE BUOYANCY EXTENDING FROM EAST TEXAS ACROSS LOUISIANA
AND SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS AND FURTHER EAST TOWARD THE I-55 CORRIDOR. IN
THIS REGION...LITTLE CONVECTIVE INHIBITION IS NOTED...WITH SBCAPE
VALUES RANGING FROM 1000-2000 J/KG ACROSS SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI...SOUTHEAST
ARKANSAS...AND NORTHEAST LOUISIANA. THIS BUOYANCY IS BEING SUPPORTED
BY UNSEASONABLY MOIST SURFACE DEWPOINTS ALREADY IN THE MIDDLE 60S
ACROSS THE SOUTHWESTERN HALF OF THE CWA...WITH READINGS INTO THE
LOWER 70S ACROSS SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA. THE NAM APPEARS TO BEST
INITIALIZE THIS MODERATE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY...AND IS ALSO THE MOST
UNSTABLE MODEL.

AS FOR THE KINEMATICS...STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY MID-LEVEL FLOW ATOP OF
THE MOISTURE/INSTABILITY WEDGE BUILDING OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY REGION IS CHARACTERIZED BY H5 SPEEDS OF 50-60 KT. THIS IS
SUPPORTING EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR MAGNITUDES OF 50-60 KT IN THIS
REGION...WHERE THE SIGNIFICANT SEVERE PARAMETER RANGES FROM 20-30
AND THE SUPERCELL COMPOSITE PARAMETER RANGES FROM 6-12...WITH THE
HIGHEST VALUES ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHWEST. THESE PARAMETERS CONTINUE
TO SUPPORT A MULTI-MODAL CONVECTION OVER NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...WHERE
CONVECTION HAS EXHIBITED BOTH SUPERCELLULAR AND MULTICELLULAR
CHARACTERISTICS. THE LACK OF CONVECTIVE INHIBITION HAS MOSTLY KEPT
THE CONVECTION FROM REMAINING DISCRETE...THOUGH INDIVIDUAL UPDRAFTS
APPEAR TO BE SPATIALLY SEPARATED SUFFICIENTLY FOR LITTLE
OBSTRUCTION TO MOIST/UNSTABLE INFLOW. THUS...CONVECTION HAS MADE
SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AT DEEPER ROTATION. UPON COORDINATION WITH THE
STORM PREDICTION CENTER...TORNADO WATCH NUMBER 772 HAS BEEN
EXPANDED NORTHWARD ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND NORTHEASTWARD
INTO THE JACKSON METRO AREA BASED ON THE SPATIAL EXPANSION OF THE
GREATER INSTABILITY AND PERSISTENTLY STRONG LOW-LEVEL WIND SHEAR.

HOWEVER...AS WE HEAD LATER INTO THE LATE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...DEEP-LAYER Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE WILL INCREASE FROM WEST TO
EAST AHEAD OF A LARGE AND POWERFUL STORM SYSTEM OVER THE
MID-SECTION OF THE CONUS. MEANWHILE...A SURFACE COLD FRONT EXTENDS
FROM CENTRAL ARKANSAS ACROSS NORTHWEST LOUISIANA INTO SOUTHEAST
TEXAS...AND IS FORECAST TO PROGRESS EASTWARD THIS AFTERNOON AND REACH
THE NORTHWEST CWA AROUND 6 PM. AS THE FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE
REGION...IT WILL DECELERATE AS IT APPROACHES DEEP-LAYER RIDGING
ENTRENCHED ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST CONUS. AHEAD OF THE FRONT...CONTINUED
MOISTURE ADVECTION AND DESTABILIZATION WILL MAINTAIN A ZONE OF
MODERATE INSTABILITY...WHERE STRONG DEEP-LAYER SHEAR WILL PERSIST.
0-1 KM STORM-RELATIVE HELICITY VALUES THROUGH TONIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO
RANGE FROM 150-300 M2/S2...WHICH WILL SUPPORT STRONG LOW-LEVEL
ROTATION WITH ANY PREFRONTAL DISCRETE CONVECTION OR ANY QUASI-LINEAR
CONVECTIVE SYSTEM THAT EVOLVES NEAR THE COLD FRONT. AS
SUCH...TORNADOES...SOME STRONG...WILL REMAIN A DEFINITE CONCERN
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT...ALONG WITH DAMAGING STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS OF
60-80 MPH AND HAIL TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS. LOCAL HIGH-RES WRF
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THE POTENTIAL FOR SUPERCELLS...BOWING LINE
SEGMENTS...AND MULTICELLULAR CONVECTION ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT...WITH
THE ATTENDANT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER.

AS THE BOUNDARY SLOWS DOWN...AND MOISTURE POOLS NORTHWARD AHEAD OF
IT...THE POTENTIAL FOR TORRENTIAL RAINFALL WILL INCREASE AS
CONVECTIVE TRAINING EVOLVES THROUGH THE NIGHT. MODELS INDICATE QPF
AMOUNTS ANYWHERE FROM 2-4 INCHES ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF THE NATCHEZ
TRACE PARKWAY...WHERE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES TONIGHT.
RAINFALL TOTALS COULD REACH 6 INCHES...AS PWAT VALUES REACH THE
90-95 PERCENTILE RANGE...WITH A DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE CONNECTION.

SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL GRADUALLY TAPER OFF FROM NORTHWEST TO
SOUTHEAST ON NEW YEARS DAY...AS DRIER AND COLDER AIR FILTER INTO THE
REGION. AS FOR OTHER FORECAST MATTERS...POPS TODAY AND TONIGHT WERE
RAISED WELL ABOVE MAV GUIDANCE BASED ON LATEST SREF AND HIGH-RES WRF
RUNS. TEMPS TONIGHT WERE INCREASED ABOVE MAV GUIDANCE GIVEN THAT
SLOWER FRONTAL MOTION IS EXPECTED COMPARED TO THAT DEPICTED BY THE
GFS.

EVERYONE IS ENCOURAGED TO MONITOR THE LATEST INFORMATION FROM THE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN JACKSON TODAY INTO TONIGHT...AS THIS
SYSTEM WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE WIDESPREAD...SIGNIFICANT
SEVERE WEATHER DURING THIS NEW YEARS EVE. /COHEN/ALLEN/

SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY...MODELS HAVE COME IN DRIER
FOR THE LONG TERM BUT AGREE THAT RAIN CHANCES WILL RETURN TO THE
SOUTHERN PORTIONS BY TUESDAY. COME SUNDAY MORNING MODELS AGREE THAT
COLD FRONT AND ASSOCIATED PRECIPITATION WILL BE WELL SOUTH OF OUR
AREA. THE AXIS OF THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL STILL BE WEST OF OUR
CWA AND A 1030MB+ SURFACE HIGH IS PROGGED TO BE CENTERED NEAR THE
RED RIVER VALLEY. THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS WILL SHIFT EAST OF OUR
CWA DURING THE DAY AND THE SURFACE HIGH WILL SHIFT EAST AND BECOME
CENTERED OVER THE ARKLAMISS BY SUNDAY EVENING. THIS WILL SETUP WHAT
IS EXPECTED TO BE THE COLDEST NIGHT OF THE PERIOD. UNDER NEAR FULL
RADIATIONAL COOLING OF OUR COOL DRY AIRMASS MONDAY MORNING LOWS WILL
BOTTOM OUT IN THE MID 20S AT MOST LOCATIONS. NEAR ZONAL FLOW ALOFT
IS EXPECTED OVER OUR REGION MONDAY AND THE SURFACE HIGH WILL SHIFT
EAST OF OUR CWA AND TO THE CAROLINAS BY TUESDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN
THE BEGINNING OF A SLOW MODERATION OF TEMPERATURES FOR US. BY
TUESDAY THOUGH ANOTHER CLOSED LOW WILL HAVE DEVELOPED OVER JUST OFF
THE COAST OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. THIS WILL RESULT IN OUR FLOW ALOFT
BACKING TO THE SOUTHWEST AND BRING A SERIES OF SUBTLE DISTURBANCES
ACROSS OUR REGION. ONE SUCH DISTURBANCE IS EXPECTED TO HELP DEVELOP
A WAVE ALONG THE OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY NEAR THE GULF COAST. BOTH THE
GFS AND ECMWF SHOW LIGHT RAIN TRYING TO SPREAD NORTH INTO OUR
SOUTHERN ZONES BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THE MAV GUIDANCE CAME IN A
LITTLE TOO HIGH OVER OUR NORTHERN ZONES SO HAVE CUT POPS ACROSS THE
NORTHERN HALF TUESDAY. AS THE DISTURBANCE PASSES ALL PRECIPITATION
IS EXPECTED TO END BY TUESDAY EVENING. THE SURFACE HIGH TO OUR EAST
WILL DRIFT SOUTH OVER FLORIDA WEDNESDAY RESULTING IN A LIGHT RETURN
FLOW OVER OUR CWA. THE OLD STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY ALONG THE GULF
COAST WILL BEGIN DRIFTING NORTH. THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
LIGHT RAIN IN THE SOUTHERN MOST ZONES WEDNESDAY BUT MOST OF THE AREA
WILL BE DRY AND SEE ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES BACK IN THE 60S. BOTH
THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW ANOTHER MORE POTENT SOUTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE AND
RAIN IS EXPECTED TO MOVE BACK OVER MUCH OF THE AREA THURSDAY. THE
CLOSED LOW OVER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE DESERT
SOUTHWEST THURSDAY AS WELL. THE CLOSED LOW IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
MOVING EAST THROUGH FRIDAY AND OPEN UP OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. AT
THE SAME TIME A COUPLE OF NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVES WILL COME INTO
PHASE OVER THE PLAINS THURSDAY NIGHT AND HELP DEEPEN A TROUGH THAT
WILL SEND COOL DRY AIR OUR WAY FROM THE NORTH ON FRIDAY. THE GFS
SHIFTS THE BULK OF THE PCPN SOUTH OF OUR CWA FRIDAY WHILE THE ECMWF
SHOWS SEVERAL INCHES OF RAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF
OUR CWA. HAVE LEANED TOWARD THE WETTER SCENARIO FOR NOW. /22/
