AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED AND UPDATED FOR AVIATION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1159 AM CST TUE MAR 8 2011

.UPDATE...

CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING FOR THE POTENTIAL OF SIGNIFICANT SEVERE
WEATHER AND FLOODING FOR THE PERIOD FROM LATE THIS AFTN...THROUGH
TONIGHT...AND INTO TOMORROW MORNING. FORECAST THINKING IS STILL ABOUT
THE SAME...WITH THE GREATEST RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER ALONG AND WEST
OF THE MS RIVER EXTENDING SOUTHEAST ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MS...AND THE
GREATEST RISK FOR FLASH FLOODING ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF THE NATCHEZ
TRACE PARKWAY.

A WARM FRONT REMAINS DRAPED ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS THIS MORNING WITH
SFC DEWPOINTS STILL IN THE MID 40S ALONG THE HWY 45 CORRIDOR FROM
MEI TO GTR AND WEST TO EUPORA TO PHILADELPHIA, MS...WHILE LOWER 60S
DEWPOINTS WERE SURGING INLAND AND APPROACHING THE NATCHEZ AREA PRIOR
TO NOON. SCATTERED ELEVATED TSTMS DEVELOPED EARLIER THIS MORNING AND
CONTINUE UNDER BROAD REGION OF ASCENT ASSOC AN IMPRESSIVE UPPER JET.

THE LATEST KDGX VAD WINDS SHOWS BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS ARE GRADUALLY
VEERING TO A MORE SOUTHERLY DIRECTION INDICATIVE OF THE DECREASING
DEPTH/STRENGTH OF NEAR-SFC COOL/STABLE LAYER WITH DEPTH ESTIMATED AT
AROUND 2500 FT. THE LATEST GUIDANCE INDICATES THE WARM SECTOR WILL
CONTINUE TO SURGE INLAND AND EXPECT MID 60S SFC DEWPOINTS WILL REACH
THE HEZ AREA PRIOR TO SUNSET ALONG WITH MIXED LAYER CAPE APPROACHING
1000 J/KG...WITH VERY LITTLE NEAR-SFC STABILITY REMAINING FARTHER NE
ALONG THE HWY 49 CORRIDOR.

GIVEN THE VERY STRONG SHEAR EXPECTED (0-1KM 35-40KTS, 0-6KM >50KTS)
AND HIGH VORTICITY GENERATION POTENTIAL OVER NE LA INTO SW MS AT
00Z...AND HIGH RESOLUTION MODEL DEPICTION OF DISCRETE STORM
DEVELOPMENT AFTER ABOUT 21Z...WE ARE STILL VERY CONCERNED WITH THE
RISK FOR STRONG TORNADOES...INCLUDING A SLIGHT NWD SHIFT IN THIS
POTENTIAL...AS INDICATED IN THE LATEST SWODY2 OUTLOOK FROM
SPC.

IN ADDITION...VERY STRONG MOISTURE TRANSPORT WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES IN EXCESS OF 1.5 INCHES AND INCREASINGLY DEEP MOISTURE
PROFILES WILL SUPPORT INTENSE RAINFALL RATES WITH TSTM ACTIVITY. AS
DEEP LAYER WIND FIELDS BECOME MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL THROUGH THE
NIGHT...THERE WILL BE AN INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING STORMS.
SOME HIGH RES WRF OUTPUT INDICATES THE POTENTIAL FOR > 5 INCHES OF
RAINFALL SOUTH OF I-20 TONIGHT. THE OVERALL MODEL CONSENSUS SHOWS
THAT THE CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH DEPICTION IS IN GOOD SHAPE. /EC/

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 910 AM CST TUE MAR 8 2011/

UPDATE...

HAVE ADDED THUNDER AND INCREASED RAIN CHANCES FOR THIS MORNING/EARLY
AFTN. CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATION HAS DEVELOPED QUICKLY UNDER BROAD
ZONE OF UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE AND ASCENT ALONG THE WARM FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. A FEW LIGHTNING STRIKES ARE BEING DETECTED AS WELL. AN
UPDATE ON THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL WILL BE COMING OUT LATER THIS
MORNING. /EC/

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 430 AM CST TUE MAR 8 2011/

SEVERE STORMS AND HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE FROM LATE AFTERNOON
INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING...

LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...QUIET WEATHER WILL RETURN TO
THE REGION FOR THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST. COOLER AIR WILL
MOVE INTO THE REGION AS CAA DOMINATES THURSDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO BE ABOUT 5-10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS POINT IN
MARCH. TEMPERATURES THURS. WILL RANGE FROM 57-63. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL
BE CHILLY WITH FROST LIKELY FRIDAY MORNING. GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT
THERE COULD BE A LIGHT FREEZE WITH LOWS IN THE 30-33 RANGE EAST OF
I-55. THIS OCCURS AS A 1027MB SURFACE HIGH TRACKS ACROSS THE AREA.
CONDITIONS WILL NOT REMAIN TOO CHILLY FOR TOO LONG AS SHORTWAVE
RIDGING MOVES OVER THE AREA FRIDAY AND THE SFC HIGH SCOOTS A LITTLE
TO THE EAST. THIS WILL BRING LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW BACK TO THE REGION
AND HELP TO SEND HIGHS BACK INTO THE MID TO UPPER 60S.

SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT...A WEAK TROUGH AXIS WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE NORTHERN PART OF THE REGION BUT LOOKS TO NOT MAKE IT COMPLETELY
THROUGH THE CWA. THE MAIN AFFECT FROM THIS WOULD BE TO BRING IN SOME
CLOUD COVER AND A LITTLE BIT OF DRIER AIR...MOSTLY TO LOCATIONS
ALONG AND NORTH OF THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR. NO RAINFALL IS EXPECTED
WITH THIS PASSAGE. UNLIKE THIS PAST WEEKEND...THE UPCOMING WEEKEND
LOOKS TO BE FANTASTIC. WAA INCREASES AND TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE
UPPER 60S/LOWER 70S BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE
COOL IN THE 40S...BUT CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO BE DRY.

THE NEXT POTENTIAL FOR RAIN COMES AROUND MONDAY. MODELS SHOW SOME
DIFFERENCES IN SOLUTIONS AS TO HOW MUCH A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL DIG
OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THE GFS IS A BIT FASTER AND A BIT MORE
BULLISH IN DEVELOPING THE UPPER LOW AND KEEPING IT A CLOSED LOW AS
IT BARRELS THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST STATES.. AS WELL AS DEVELOPING A SFC
LOW AND TRACKING IT ACROSS ARKANSAS MONDAY EVENING. THE ECMWF IS MUCH
WEAKER AND EVENTUALLY OPENS IT UP INTO A WAVE AS IT MOVES NORTH OF
THE REGION. THE GFS ENSEMBLES DO NOT SHOW MUCH DEEPENING OF THE
TROUGH WHICH MIGHT LEND THAT THE OPERATIONAL GFS IS A BIT TOO
BULLISH. EITHER WAY...THIS WOULD LEAD TO THE NEXT POTENTIAL CHANCE
FOR RAIN. /28/

&&

.AVIATION...

DEEP MOISTURE WILL INCREASE TODAY AHEAD OF A DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.  MVFR
CATEGORY CEILINGS WERE BEING REPORTED ALONG THE SOUTHERN 2/3RDS OF
THE REGION AND WILL SPREAD NE ACROSS ENTIRE AREA PRIOR TO NOON. AREA
RADARS WERE INDICATING SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS TRACKING NORTHEAST
ACROSS THE REGION. SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
THIS AFTERNOON. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
TONIGHT WITH DETERIORATING CEILINGS AND VSBYS FOR ALL SITES
INCLUDING IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS IN HEAVIER RAIN. CONDITIONS WILL
IMPROVE WEDNESDAY IN THE WAKE OF A STRONG COLD FRONT THAT WILL BE
NEAR GLH BY 12Z WED AND BE SE OF HBG BY 21Z WED. /17/
