AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
129 AM CDT MON SEP 5 2011

.UPDATE...TORNADO WATCH 837 HAS BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL AREAS
GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE PARKWAY. /BK/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1015 PM CDT SUN SEP 4 2011/

TROPICAL DEPRESSION LEE BRINGING TORRENTIAL RAINFALL TO MUCH OF THE
ARKLAMISS THROUGH LABOR DAY...

UPDATE...TORNADO WATCH NUMBER 836 WAS REPLACED BY TORNADO WATCH
NUMBER 837...ALTHOUGH A FEW COUNTIES WERE ADDED TO THE PREVIOUS
WATCH AND A FEW COUNTIES/PARISHES IN MY SOUTHWEST ZONES WERE
DROPPED. PRODUCTS UPDATED TO INCLUDE MENTION OF THIS WATCH THROUGH 7
AM TOMORROW MORNING.

IN ADDITION...THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER HAS JUST RECOGNIZED A
GRADUAL WEAKENING IN LEE AND HAS DROPPED THE DESIGNATION FROM
TROPICAL STORM TO TROPICAL DEPRESSION. THIS DEGRADATION IN STRENGTH
WAS EXPECTED AND WILL NOT REALLY AFFECT THE FORECAST. PRODUCTS WILL
BE UPDATED TO REFER TO LEE AS A TROPICAL DEPRESSION. /BB/

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 930 PM CDT SUN SEP 4 2011/

UPDATE...TROPICAL STORM LEE NOT MOVING HARDLY A LICK
CURRENTLY...WITH CENTER OF ROTATION OUT OF THE CWA...BUT NOT TOO FAR
SOUTH OF NATCHEZ. INCOMING COLD FRONT AND FRONTAL JETS ALOFT SEEM TO
BE NOW INTERACTING WITH LEE AND SQUEEZING OUT RAIN MUCH MORE
EFFICIENTLY ACROSS THE HEART OF THE ARKLAMISS. STILL EXPECTING LEE
TO MOVE MORE OR LESS NORTHEAST...ALBEIT SLOWLY...OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS. HOWEVER...THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE SYSTEM AND THE
POTENTIAL FOR THE LINGERING UPPER LEVEL FEATURE TO HANG AROUND MEANS
RAIN IS IN THE FORECAST FOR MANY FOR SEVERAL DAYS TO COME.
FORTUNATELY...REALLY ANTICIPATE THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING RAINS TO
COME TO AN END FROM WEST TO EAST FROM LATE TOMORROW THROUGH TOMORROW
NIGHT. MAY STILL HAVE TO EXTEND CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT
FOR ALL AREAS THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT IN EASTERN ZONES. WILL LET THE
OVERNIGHT SHIFT DECIDE ON THAT. WIND ADVISORY GOING THROUGH TOMORROW
IN ALL AREAS LOOKS GOOD...ALTHOUGH SOME EASTERN AREAS MAY NOT BE TOO
WINDY TONIGHT. GUSTS OVER 40 MPH NOT LOOKING VERY LIKELY IN ANY
AREAS AND HAVE REALLY NOT BEEN VERIFIED DURING THIS EVENT WITHIN THE
CONFINES OF OUR FORECAST AREA.

OTHERWISE...TORNADO RISK IS THE OTHER BIG STORY TONIGHT ALONG WITH
THE HEAVY RAIN. SHEAR IS NOT LACKING...BUT INSTABILITY GENERALLY HAS
BEEN ACROSS ALL BUT MY SOUTHERN ZONES. HOWEVER...INSTABILITY HIGH
ENOUGH TO PRODUCE ENOUGH LOW LEVEL UPDRAFTS TO SPIN UP TORNADOES IS
CREEPING NORTH THIS EVENING. WILL BE HAVING TO WATCH AREAS SOUTH OF
THE I-20 CORRIDOR CLOSELY...BUT PARTICULARLY EAST OF THE NATCHEZ
TRACE.

UPDATES TO PRODUCTS...ADVISORIES AND WATCHES OUT. /BB/

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 310 PM CDT SUN SEP 4 2011/

SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...ADDED RAIN TO WEDNESDAY)
A LARGE SHIELD OF RAIN WITH SOME EMBEDDED HEAVY DOWN POURS WAS
SPIRALING ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON FROM LEE AS WELL AS THE
APPROACHING FRONT AND DEFORMATION ZONE FROM THE WEST NORTHWEST. LEE
WAS CENTERED OVER SOUTH CENTRAL LOUISIANA. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A
GOOD DRY SLOT WRAPPING AROUND LEE FOR SOME INSTABILITY FOR SOME
SEVERE WEATHER FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. ACTUAL RAINFALL
AMOUNTS SO FAR THIS AFTERNOON SHOWING SOME IMPRESSIVE AMOUNTS 5 TO 7
INCHES FOR THE HEAVIER AMOUNTS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE
ARKLAMISS. HAVE BEEN ISSUING SOME TORNADO WARNINGS...FLASH FLOOD
WARNINGS AND SOME SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENTS. EXPECT IT TO BE A BUSY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING WEATHER WISE. LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS
THAT THE SHORT WAVE TROUGH WAS APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST AND
WILL INTERACT WITH THE AFFECTS OF LEE...WHICH WILL BRING A GOOD
DEFORMATION ZONE. SO AS EXPECTED RAINS ARE PICKING UP IN COVERAGE
FROM THE WEST AND SOUTH WITH GOOD DOWN POURS FROM THE SOUTH AND WEST
FOR THIS AFTERNOON. SO WITH THE ALL THIS GOING ON HAVE OPTED TO
EXPAND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE WHOLE CWA FROM 00Z TONIGHT
THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY. IT MAY HAVE TO BE EXPANDED LONGER AS THE MODELS
HAVE THE UPPER LOW HANGING AROUND THE REGION FOR THE SHORT TERM.
EXPECTING A STRONG NORTHERLY GRADIENT ACROSS THE REGION WITH THE
MOVEMENT OF THE COLD FRONT FROM THE WEST AND THE TRACKING OF LEE TO
THE NORTHEAST. THIS WILL BRING STRONG WINDS TO THE REGION. SO WILL
EXPAND THE WIND ADVISORY FOR THE WHOLE REGION UNTIL 00Z TUESDAY. IT
WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO BE EXPANDED INTO MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY
NIGHT AS THE LOW PRESSURE GRADIENT AFFECTS THE REGION.

NOW FOR THE FORECAST  LATEST RUC SHOWS A SLOW ENE MOTION FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING AND THEN NHC TAKING
STORM A LITTLE FASTER NEWD TONIGHT AND MONDAY. MEANWHILE...A
FLATTENING IN THE OUTFLOW CIRRUS PATTERN NW OF THE LEE CENTER HAS
GOTTEN UNDERWAY WITH A MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS COMING DOWN THE MO
RIVER VALLEY AND ACROSS THE OZARKS. THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE COLD
FRONT ALSO CROSSING THE OZARKS CURRENTLY AND THESE FEATURES WILL
COMBINE TO SET UP A NEW HEAVY RAINFALL DEFORMATION ZONE FOR TONIGHT
AND MONDAY ACROSS OUR NWRN CWFA. OTHERWISE...EXPECT THE TROPICAL
DOWNPOURS IN THE 2.2-2.4 INCH PWAT AIR TO PRODUCE HEAVIEST RAINS
TODAY STILL GENERALLY S OF I-20. THE MODELS CONTINUE
TO SHOW IMPRESSIVE QPF AMOUNTS FOR THE REGION FOR THE SHORT TERM.
GOING WITH THE EURO MODEL IT SHOWS FROM 8 TO 10 INCHES WITH LOCALLY
HEAVIER AMOUNTS...WHILE OTHER MODELS WERE SHOWING 10 PLUS INCHES.
EITHER WAY THIS COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT RAIN EVENT...BE SURE TO WATCH
FOR FUTURE UPDATES. THE MODELS HAVE SLOWED THE TRACK OF THE
ASSOCIATED UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AS IT FINALLY MOVES OUT OF THE
REGION BY EARLY THURSDAY. THUS WILL KEEP THE RAIN AROUND THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. SO HAVE ADDED RAIN FOR WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
THERE WILL STILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME BRIEF TORNADOES FOR
TONIGHT INTO MONDAY FOR THE EAST AND SOUTH. THIS IS SHOWN BY THE
IMPRESSIVE HELICITY...SHEAR AND SOME INSTABILITY BY THE
MODELS...MAINLY OVER THE EAST AND SOUTH. ANY STRONG CONVECTION WILL
BE MONITORED CLOSELY FOR THE FORMATION OF BRIEF TORNADOES IN ANY
DISCRETE CELLS. SO WILL KEEP MENTION OF TORNADOES IN THE HWOJAN AS
RISK SHIFTS EAST OF OUR CWFA FOR MONDAY PER SPC FORECASTS. THE
TORNADO POTENTIAL SHOULD BE IN THE EAST FOR MONDAY.

AS FAR AS TEMPS ARE CONCERN WENT CLOSE TO GMOS GUIDANCE FOR THE
DAILY LOWS...THEN CLOSE TO MAV GUIDANCE FOR THE DAILY HIGHS. FOR POPS
WENT WITH 100 PERCENT FOR TONIGHT...MAV POPS FOR MONDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY NIGHT...THEN MEX POPS FOR WEDNESDAY AS THE UPPER LOW LINGERS
AROUND THE REGION./17/

&&

.AVIATION...

CONTINUE TO PIVOT INTO THE REGION. MVFR CEILINGS WILL BE WIDESPREAD
ACROSS THE AREA TODAY WITH LOCAL IFR CIGS/MVFR VSBYS IN AREAS OF
HEAVIER RAINFALL. A FEW SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT
THROUGH EARLY TOMORROW...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
JAN/MEI/NMM/HBG/PIB...WITH POTENTIAL FOR TORNADO DEVELOPMENT.

CIGS AND MVFR...OCNL IFR...VSBYS. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE
OVERNIGHT ALONG WITH PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN THAT MAY BECOME MORE
FREQUENT IN NATURE. E/NE WINDS WILL GENERALLY RANGE FROM 10-20KTS
WITH HIGHER GUSTS IN STRONGER RAIN BANDS. THEY WILL GRADUALLY BECOME
MORE NLY IN THE WEST THIS EVENING...BECOMING MORE NLY ACROSS THE
ENTIRE AREA LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY AS THE LOW WORKS ITS WAY TO THE
NE./03/50/

HYDROLOGY...RIVER FORECAST MODELS ARE USING 48 HOURS OF PREDICTED
RAINFALL TO PRODUCE TODAY RIVER FORECASTS. WEATHER MODELS ARE IN

EVENING FROM NORTHEAST LOUISIANA TO VICKSBURG MISSISSIPPI TO
COLUMBUS MISSISSIPPI. RAINFALL TOTALS FROM 6 TO 12 INCHES ARE

THE SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF MISSISSIPPI. RIVERS SHOULD SEE
MODERATE RISE TO NEAR FLOOD STAGE OR JUST ABOVE FLOOD STAGE. HEAVIER
