AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
848 AM CDT SAT APR 24 2010

...SUPERCELL SATURDAY UNDERWAY...TORNADOES LIKELY THROUGH MID AFTERNOON...

.UPDATE...AN ERUPTION OF SUPERCELLS MOVING AT 50-60MPH IS UNDERWAY ACROSS
OUR PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS TORNADO WATCH AREA. ALL INTERESTS SHOULD
PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO WARNINGS FOR THE NEXT 6-9 HOURS AS REACTION
TIME WILL BE EXTREMELY LIMITED IN SOME CASES. IN SPITE OF AN EXPECTED
SHORT TERM LULL IN CONVECTION OVER WRN MS THROUGH 11 AM...DO NOT
UNDERESTIMATE THIS SITUATION WHICH HAS LINED UP AS ONE OF THE MORE
IMPRESSIVE SETUPS THAT WE EXPERIENCE IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY.

AN 850MB JET AXIS OF 60KTS EXTENDED FROM KLFT-KJAN AND WILL LIFT NE
ACROSS THE CWFA THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. THE STORMS OVER SERN MS
APPEAR TO BE RIDING THE RIGHT NOSE OF THIS JET. THE AXIS OF GREATEST
INSTABILITY AND LOW LEVEL SHEAR EXTENDED ALONG THE I-55 CORRIDOR AT
MID MORNING AND WILL SLIDE EWD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE MORE
FAVORABLE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WILL ARRIVE WITH THE LEFT REAR OF THE
LOW LEVEL JET EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL COINCIDE WITH THE DRY
LINE AXIS CROSSING THE SABINE RIVER. THIS DRY LINE WILL CROSS THE MS
RIVER EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WITH SCATTERED SUPERCELLS EXPECTED ALONG
IT AND THESE STORMS SHOULD BRING AN END TO THE SEVERE RISK ONCE THEY
PASS THE AREA. UPDATES SHOULD BE AVAILABLE ALTHOUGH SOME PRODUCTS
WILL APPARENTLY BE SLOW ON OUR INTERNET WEBSITE./40/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 415 AM CDT SAT APR 24 2010/

..PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK LIKELY TODAY...

SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT...THE ARKLAMISS REGION MAY
UNFORTUNATELY BE IN STORE FOR A BAD DAY AS THERE ARE MANY FACTORS
COMING TOGETHER THIS MORNING TO SUGGEST THE SUBSEQUENT DEVELOPMENT
OF POWERFUL AND POTENTIALLY TORNADIC THUNDERSTORMS. REGIONAL RADARS
(AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING) SHOW THUNDERSTORMS TO BE CLEAR OF THE
ARKLAMISS...WITH ISOLATED STORMS ON THE EASTERN PERIPHERY AND A
POWERFUL THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX RACING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE ARKLATEX.
A LARGE MASS OF THUNDERSTORMS ONGOING ACROSS OUR AREA RIGHT NOW
WOULD BE A HELPFUL THING TO HELP KEEP LATER CONVECTION SOMEWHAT
TAME...BUT ALAS...THIS CONVECTION IS NOT TO BE FOUND RIGHT NOW.

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER (SPC) HAS PLACED NEARLY THE ENTIRE
ARKLAMISS REGION IN A RARE HIGH RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY
(ALTHOUGH A FEW COUNTIES IN SOUTHEAST MS ARE ONLY IN A MODERATE
RISK). A MODERATE RISK IS A RATHER OMINOUS FORECAST FROM THE
SPC...BUT A HIGH RISK IS GENERALLY ONLY ISSUED BY THEM A FEW TIMES A
YEAR ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHEN PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS
ARISE.

THE MAIN INGREDIENTS FOR A VOLATILE SETUP INCLUDE A STRENGTHENING
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM PASSING A LITTLE TO OUR NORTHWEST...HIGH LOW
LEVEL AND DEEP LAYER WIND SHEAR TO ORGANIZE AND ROTATE STORMS AND
AID IN TORNADOGENESIS...HIGH SURFACE MOISTURE WITH DPS IN THE UPPER
60S TO LOWER 70S...AND MODERATE TO HIGH INSTABILITY DUE TO THIS
MOISTURE AND STEEP ATMOSPHERIC LAPSE RATES ALOFT.

FORCING TO GET STORMS GOING THIS MORNING WILL COME FROM SUBTLE LIFT
IMPARTED BY AN INCOMING UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE...OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES
PUSHING EAST FROM THIS MORNING ARKLATEX STORM COMPLEX...AND A LATER
HYBRID SURFACE TROUGH/WEAK FRONT PUSHING ACROSS FROM WEST TO EAST.
THE COMBINATION OF FORCING MECHANISMS WILL PROBABLY BE AMPLE ENOUGH
TO GET CONVECTION GOING EARLY IN AT LEAST NORTHWEST ZONES...WHICH
MAY LIMIT EXTREME SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL. BUT...AS YOU GO SOUTH
AND EAST THE FORCING MAY TEND TO BE MORE SUBTLE THIS MORNING INTO
EARLY AFTERNOON...ALLOWING INSTABILITY TO BUILD AND MAKING
SUPERCELLS MODES MORE LIKELY. THERMAL CAPPING ABOVE THE BOUNDARY
LAYER MAY KEEP SUPERCELLS ISOLATED TO SCATTERED IN NATURE FROM LATER
MORNING THROUGH EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON. AT THIS POINT WE ARE NOT
ANTICIPATING A SOLID SQUALL LINE TO "CLEAR THINGS OUT" TO END THE
EVENT...BUT A GRADUAL TOP-DOWN DRYING PROCESS MAY JUST GRADUALLY
DIMINISH SUPERCELL AND LINE SEGMENT COVERAGE FROM WEST TO EAST THIS
AFTERNOON.

THE RISK OF EXPERIENCING DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND HAIL FROM ANY
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE VERY HIGH TODAY...WITH THE TORNADO RISK VERY
REAL AND OMINOUS. IN ADDITION...THE VOLATILE STATE OF THE ATMOSPHERE
WILL GIVE AT LEAST A FEW STORMS THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE DAMAGING
WIND GUSTS OVER 80 MPH...HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF BASEBALLS...AND
LONG-TRACKING STRONG TORNADOES. MESOSCALE ASSESSMENT THIS MORNING
SUGGESTS THAT POTENTIAL FOR THE WORST OF THE STORMS MIGHT BE HIGHEST
SOUTHEAST OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE FROM 11 AM THROUGH 4 PM...BUT I MUST
NOTE THAT A CONSIDERABLE RISK OF HAZARDOUS WEATHER WILL EXIST IN ALL
AREAS BEGINNING THIS MORNING.

IT IS ALSO WORTH MENTIONING VERY GUSTY SOUTH WINDS POSSIBLE TODAY
(PARTICULARLY ALONG AND NORTH OF I-20) AND A WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN
POSTED FOR THE HIGHLIGHTED AREA. ADDITIONALLY...AREAS RECEIVING
HEAVY RAINS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES YESTERDAY WILL BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO
GETTING MORE HEAVY DOWNPOURS TODAY. THUS...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS
BEEN ISSUED TODAY FOR AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF A MACON...TO YAZOO
CITY...TO BASTROP LINE. /BB/

LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY...ALTHOUGH THE LARGE
NEARLY STACKED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BE MOVING OVER THE OHIO
VALLEY SUNDAY...THE TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL NOT MAKE IT INTO OUR
CWA UNTIL MONDAY. NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THURSDAY
AND BRING NO LESS THAN THREE SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVES ACROSS OUR CWA
BEFORE THURSDAY AS WELL. SUNDAY WILL BE WARM AND DRY WITH AFTERNOON
HIGHS NEAR NORMAL. THE FIRST IN THE SERIES OF SHORTWAVES IS EXPECTED
SUNDAY NIGHT THAT WILL HELP DROP THE WEAK COLD FRONT INTO OUR CWA
MONDAY. THE GFS WAS THE ONLY MODEL THAT PLACED LIGHT QPF OVER OUR
NORTHEAST ZONES SUNDAY NIGHT. DEEP MOISTURE SHOULD REMAIN LIMITED
AND WL CUT POPS THEN. A DRY FRONTAL PASSAGE IS EXPECTED MONDAY AND
THE SLIGHTLY COOLER NORTHWEST FLOW BEHIND THE COLD FRONT WILL HOLD
TEMPERATURES SEVERAL DEGREES COOLER MONDAY AFTERNOON. A SECOND
SHORTWAVE IS EXPECTED TO DROP OVER OUR AREA MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY AND HELP SUPPORT A REINFORCING COLD FRONT. THE 00Z
GFS...SREF AND ECMWF SQUEEZE OUT A LITTLE MORE PRECIPITATION WITH
THIS FRONT. WL CARRY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS NORTH MONDAY NIGHT AND SHIFT
THE POPS TO THE SOUTH TUESDAY WITH THE FRONT. YET A THIRD SHORTWAVE
IS PROGGED TO PASS OVER OUR CWA TUESDAY NIGHT BUT SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BE WORKING INTO OUR REGION AND THE SHORTWAVE WILL HAVE
LITTLE MOISTURE TO WORK WITH. WL AGAIN CUT THE GFS GUIDANCE POPS
TUESDAY NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE SURFACE AND ALOFT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
OVER OUR CWA WEDNESDAY. THE SURFACE HIGH WILL SHIFT EAST OF OUR CWA
THURSDAY WHILE THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS WILL BE SLOWER TO SHIFT
EAST. DRY WEATHER AND A WARMING TREND WILL BE THE RESULT WEDNESDAY
INTO FRIDAY. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW ANOTHER LARGE CLOSED LOW
NEARING THE FOUR CORNERS REGION FRIDAY MORNING. THE ECMWF BRINGS
RAIN BACK INTO OUR CWA FASTER THAN THE GFS FRIDAY BUT IS MUCH SLOWER
WITH THE EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE LOW THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE
GFS IS SHOWING SIGNS OF ANOTHER POSSIBLE ROUND OF SEVERE WEATHER FOR
OUR AREA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY BUT WITH SUCH TIMING DIFFERENCES
WL HOLD OFF ANY MENTION IN THE HWO FOR NOW. /22/

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI...
NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A SIGNIFICANT AND DANGEROUS OUTBREAK OF SEVERE STORMS IS EXPECTED
ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA THROUGH MID AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY
EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. THERE EXISTS A HIGH RISK OF
TORNADOES...SOME STRONG AND LONG TRACKED...ALONG WITH THE POTENTIAL
FOR ANY STORM TO PRODUCE GOLF BALL TO BASEBALL SIZED HAIL AND
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...SOME EXCEEDING 75 MPH.

SCATTERED SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS...ALONG WITH SOME BOWING LINE
SEGMENTS...ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH MIDDAY AND AFTERNOON.
AFTER 3 PM...THE PRIMARY RISK WILL SHIFT TO MAINLY LOCATIONS EAST
OF THE INTERSTATE 55 CORRIDOR. ALL STORMS SHOULD MOVE OUT OF EASTERN
MISSISSIPPI BY 8 PM OR SO.

THERE ALSO EXISTS THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING THROUGH EARLY
TONIGHT. THIS RISK EXISTS FOR LOCATIONS ALONG AND NORTH OF A RAYVILLE
TO YAZOO CITY TO MACON LINE. THIS AREA RECEIVED POCKETS OF 1 TO 4
INCHES OF RAIN ON FRIDAY AND HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GET ANOTHER 1 TO 3
INCHES WITH ANY TRAINING STORMS.

AS THE SYSTEM INTENSIFIES...SURFACE WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY FROM THE
SOUTH AND BE WINDY AT 20 TO 30 MPH. AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF I-20 WILL
SEE THE STRONGER WINDS WITH SOME GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH. A WIND ADVISORY
IS IN EFFECT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

THE PROBABILITY FOR WIDESPREAD HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS LOW.

.SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...
THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...HAM RADIO OPERATORS...AND
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL IN SUPPORT OF SEVERE WEATHER
OPERATIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.
