...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 AM CDT SATURDAY...

THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR

* PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS...NORTHEAST LOUISIANA AND 
 MISSISSIPPI.

* UNTIL 4 AM CDT SATURDAY

* A COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE AREA 
 LATER TONIGHT AND WEAKEN AS IT MOVES EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI 
 RIVER. THIS STORM COMPLEX WILL CONTAIN LOCALLY HEAVY 
 RAINFALL...AROUND ONE INCH OR MORE IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. 
 ANY BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL OVER AREAS FLOODED BY THE MISSISSIPPI 
 RIVER OR BACK WATER AREAS WILL ONLY WORSEN THE FLOODING 
 PROBLEMS. 


MAJOR FLOODING IS OCCURRING ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND BACK
WATER AREAS. RAINFALL AMOUNTS NEAR AN INCH IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF
TIME COULD LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING. WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL IS
NOT EXPECTED...HOWEVER ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL HAVE
THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE FLASH FLOODING. SWOLLEN RIVERS CAN NOT
HANDLE ANY ADDITIONAL RUN-OFF AT THIS TIME.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD
TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

YOU SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION
SHOULD FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS BE ISSUED.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1254 PM CDT FRI MAY 20 2011

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL EXIST ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON
WITH SCT CU AT 3500-5000 FT. THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN WILL BE WITH
THE POTENTIAL STORM COMPLEX THAT LOOKS TO DEVELOP TO OUR W/NW TODAY
AND HOW THIS SYSTEM EVOLVES EASTWARD FOR TONIGHT. LATEST INDICATIONS
ARE THAT THE COMPLEX WILL PUSH EAST THIS EVENING AND IMPACT SITES W
OF I-55 BETWEEN 01-06Z. AT THIS TIME WILL INTRODUCE SOME TSRA AT
GLH/GWO WITH A WIND SHIFT. MORE DETAILS IN THE TAF WILL BE COVERED
WITH LATER ISSUANCES AS THE SYSTEM OF INTEREST DEVELOPS MORE.
OVERNIGHT AND EARLY SAT MORNING...LOOK FOR MAINLY MVFR CEILINGS TO
DEVELOP WITH SOME LOW END POTENTIAL FOR IFR CEILINGS AT A FEW SITES.
/CME/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1045 AM CDT FRI MAY 20 2011/

UPDATE...CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF STRATUS AROUND THIS MORNING ACROSS
THE AREA...BUT THIS SHOULD CONTINUE TO BURN OFF THROUGH THE LATE
MORNING. SKIES WILL CONTINUE TO BE MOSTLY CLOUDS ACROSS MUCH OF THE
AREA TODAY EXCEPT FOR THE EASTERN PORTIONS WERE PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES
WILL PREVAIL. TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB UP IN TO THE UPPER 80S FOR THE
MOST PART THIS AFTERNOON. STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY CONCERNING
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. SOME OF
THE HIRES MODELS (NMM/HRRR) INDICATE THAT A THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX
WILL DEVELOP OVER EAST TX/W LA AND MOVE INTO THE WRN PORTIONS OF OUR
AREA THIS EVENING. OTHER MODELS KEEP THE ACTIVITY TO THE W/NW OF OUR
AREA UNTIL SATURDAY. WITH LAPSE RATES RANGING FROM 7.0-7.5
C/KM...SHOWALTERS OF -4 TO -5 C AND PLENTY OF MOISTURE ACROSS THE
WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA...SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG
TO SEVERE. DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY WILL INTRODUCE THIS POTENTIAL IN
THE HWO THIS AFTERNOON FOR THIS EVENING AND FLASH FLOODING WILL
OBVIOUSLY BE A CONCERN WITH ANY THUNDERSTORM DUE TO THE ONGOING
FLOOD. EXPECT THE BEST CHANCE FOR ANY STRONG TO SEVERE WILL BE ALONG
AND WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER...BUT THERE WILL BE SOME POTENTIAL
FOR AREAS WEST OF I-55. MADE A FEW ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FORECAST AND
THE UPDATES ARE ALREADY OUT./15/

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY/RUC ANALYSIS SHOWS A LARGE CLOSED LOW SPINNING
OVER SOUTHERN WYOMING WITH AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS FROM THE WESTERN
GULF NOSING NORTH FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY TO THE
UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. BETWEEN THESE FEATURES REGIONAL
RADARS SHOWED A BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TO THE
NORTHERN PLAINS. AS THE CLOSED LOW LIFTS UP INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS
AND THE UPPER RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS EAST THROUGH SATURDAY...THE
CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT EAST INTO THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF OUR
CWA. FOR TODAY MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATING INTO THE
AFTERNOON WITH A FAIRLY DECENT CAP IN PLACE. A SHORTWAVE ROUNDING THE
CLOSED LOW WILL MOVE OVER THE WESTERN FRINGES OF OUR CWA DURING PRIME
HEATING AND SET OF A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. HIGH RES MODELS
SUGGEST THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE LIMITED TO WEST OF INTERSTATE 55 AND
CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING BEFORE THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING
DIMINISHES IT. IT WILL BE RATHER WARM TODAY AS WELL WITH MOST OF THE
AREA CLIMBING INTO THE UPPER 80S. CLOUD DEBRIS AND CONTINUED
SOUTHERLY WINDS TONIGHT WILL RESULT IN WARMER THAN NORMAL
TEMPERATURES WITH SITES IN THE WEST REMAINING IN THE LOWER 70S. SITES
IN THE EAST WILL GENERALLY BOTTOM OUT IN THE MID 60S. MODELS SUGGEST
THAT AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FOR OVERNIGHT CONVECTION MAY PUSH STORMS
BACK INTO OUR WESTERN ZONES BEFORE DAYBREAK BUT MOST OF THE ACTIVITY
IS EXPECTED TO FIRE UP AGAIN DURING PEAK HEATING AND LAST INTO THE
EVENING. TEMPERATURES SATURDAY SHOULD AGAIN CLIMB INTO THE MID TO
UPPER 80S. AND AXIS OF PWS BETWEEN 1.5 AND 1.75 INCHES WITH SURFACE
DEW POINTS IN THE LOWER 70S IS EXPECTED TO BE OVER THE NORTHWEST
PORTIONS OF OUR CWA. THIS WILL LEAD TO MLCAPES AROUND 2000J/K IN AN
ENVIRONMENT WITH 0-6KM BULK SHEAR OF 35-40KTS. BOTH 0-1KM AND 0-3KM
HELICITIES LOOK TO REMAIN BETWEEN 100-150M2/S2. A FEW SEVERE STORMS
WITH HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND A TORNADO WILL BE POSSIBLE GENERALLY
ALONG AND NORTH OF A LINE FROM WINNSBORO LA TO GRENADA MS SATURDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AGAIN MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY WILL DIMINISH
DURING THE EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. HIGH PRESSURE
LOOKS TO HANG ON OVER OUR SOUTHEAST ZONES LIMITING RAIN CHANCES
THROUGH THE SHORT TERM. /22/

LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...

THE DEEP SOUTH WILL BE POSITIONED ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE
SUB-TROPICAL RIDGE AT THE START OF NEXT WEEK...WITH DEEP LOW PRESSURE
CENTERED OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS. AN AXIS OF RICH MOISTURE CENTERED
BETWEEN THESE FEATURES WILL BE CENTERED JUST NORTHWEST OF THE
ARKLAMISS...AND ITS ALONG THIS BELT THAT DECENT DESTABILIZATION AND
ASSOCIATED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE FOCUSED THROUGHOUT
THE DAY SUNDAY. MOST OF THE ARKLAMISS WILL REMAIN DRY AS A RESULT
HOWEVER LOCATIONS GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF A BASTROP TO GRENADA
LINE WILL HAVE A SHOT AT SEEING AT LEAST ISOLATED CONVECTION. WHILE I
DON'T EXPECT SIGNIFICANT CONVECTIVE COVERAGE...ANY STORMS THAT DO
DEVELOP COULD BECOME SEVERE RATHER QUICKLY DESPITE WEAK DEEP LAYER
SHEAR GIVEN SB/MLCAPE VALUES PROGGED IN EXCESS OF 2500J/KG JUXTAPOSED
WITH MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES IN THE 7C RANGE. WILL INTRODUCE THE
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS ACROSS THIS AREA INTO THE HWO MENTIONING
QUARTER SIZE HAIL AND 60MPH WIND GUSTS AS THE PRIMARY RISKS.

FROM THERE THE CHANCE OF RAIN DROPS OFF THROUGH MID WEEK BEFORE RAIN
CHANCES RETURN WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY AS A COLD FRONT
TRANSITS THE REGION. BREEZY SOUTH WINDS THROUGH THE WEEK WILL DRIVE
PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND ASSOCIATED INSTABILITY NORTHWARD IN
ADVANCE OF THE FRONT. DEFINITELY GOING TO HAVE TO WATCH THE
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER AS THIS FRONT PASSES...ALTHOUGH THE
MODELS DO IMPLY 0-1KM SHEAR VALUES DROPPING OFF BEFORE THE BEST
DYNAMICS ARRIVE SO HOPEFULLY THE TORNADO THREAT WILL BE SOMEWHAT
LIMITED. THE CHANCE FOR LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS APPEARS MUCH
HIGHER. WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE.

TEMPERATURES ARE CERTAINLY GOING TO BE TOASTY NEXT WEEK BEFORE THE
FRONT ARRIVES WITH HIGHS HOVERING AROUND THE 90 DEGREE MARK EACH
AFTERNOON. LOWS WILL ONLY BE FALLING TO AROUND 70 EACH MORNING. USED
A BLEND OF THE GFS MOS AND THE HIGH ENSEMBLE MEMBER ONCE AGAIN FOR
HIGHS...ALTHOUGH LOW SPREAD IN THE GUIDANCE MEANT VERY LITTLE
MOVEMENT FROM MOS. /BK/
