AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED FOR AVIATION DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1020 AM CDT MON APR 4 2011

...SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK EXPECTED LATER THIS MORNING INTO THIS
AFTERNOON...

.UPDATE...THINGS ARE PRETTY MUCH ON TRACK FOR SEVERE STORMS LATER
THIS MORNING AND THIS AFTERNOON. THE MORNING SOUNDING INDICATES A
PRETTY STRONG CAP AROUND H750...BUT AFTER LOOKING AT SATELLITE
IMAGERY A GRAVITY WAVE IS CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS THE AREA AND THIS
MAY AID IN THE EROSION OF THE CAP. THERE IS ALSO SOME BREAKS IN THE
CLOUDS AND THIS MAY AID WITH SOME INCREASE IN SURFACE INSTABILITY.
THERE WILL BE AN 18Z RELEASE TO RESOLVE HOW MUCH OF THE CAP IS LEFT.
CONTINUES TO LOOK LIKE MOST OF THE CONVECTION WILL OCCUR ALONG THE
SQUALL LINE...BUT CANT RULE OUT A STORM OR TWO FORMING JUST AHEAD OF
THE LINE AS IT ROLLS ACROSS THE AREA. THE MAIN RISK CONTINUES TO
LOOK LIKE WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL...BUT TORNADOES
WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE. MADE A FEW ADJUSTMENTS TO THE TEMP/DEW
POINT GRIDS...BUT OTHER THAN THAT THE FORECAST LOOKS ON TRACK AND
THE UPDATES ARE ALREADY OUT./15/

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...MOISTURE HAS BEEN SURGING
INTO THE REGION THIS MORNING THANKS TO A 40-50KT LOW LEVEL JET AND
VERY GUSTY SURFACE WINDS OF 10-20KTS AND GUSTS UP TO 30KTS AT TIMES.
DEWPOINTS HAVE RISEN ACROSS THE AREA AND RANGE FROM 69 DEGREES AT
MCCOMB TO 64-66 DEGREES ALONG THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR. SFC
TEMPERATURES ALSO REMAIN VERY WARM THIS MORNING WITH A READINGS
EITHER NEARLY STEADY OR ACTUALLY WARMING SLIGHTLY THROUGH THE NIGHT.
READINGS AS OF 8-9Z ARE MAINLY IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S AREAWIDE. ALL
IN ALL...CONDITIONS OVER THE AREA ARE BECOMING PRIMED FOR A
SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT THIS AFTERNOON.

MODELS CONTINUE TO AGREE ON THE GENERAL EVOLUTION OF A STRONG
SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND STRONG COLD FRONT...CURRENTLY SEEN ON WATER
VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY ACROSS EASTERN COLORADO/WESTERN
NEBRASKA...AND ITS APPROACH TOWARD THE ARKLAMISS LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. MODELS HAVE HAD A TOUGH TIME WITH BOTH TIMING AND PHASE
OF THIS SYSTEM BUT WITH IT KNOCKING ON OUR DOORSTEP...THIS ISSUE HAS
COME INTO BETTER CONSENSUS. IT APPEARS THAT THE DELTA AREA WILL
REMAIN CAPPED THROUGH ABOUT 15Z...THE JACKSON AREA THROUGH MAYBE 18Z
AND THE PINE BELT REGION THROUGH ABOUT 18Z-21Z. THIS SHOULD LIMIT
CONVECTION UNTIL THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND STRONG COLD FRONT TRACK
CLOSER TO THE REGION. AS THIS OCCURS...THE CAPPING INVERSION SHOULD
BE FAIRLY EASY TO OVERCOME AND THERE STILL REMAINS THE POSSIBILITY
FOR SOME ISOLATED STORMS TO BREAK OUT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT AS
DEEP LAYER FLOW WILL BE MORE ORTHOGONAL TO FRONTAL FORCING.
HOWEVER...MOST RECENT MODEL RUNS OF HI-RES WRF SIMULATED
REFLECTIVITY INDICATE THAT THIS MIGHT NOT BE THE CASE AS MOST ALL
DEPICT THE AREA REMAINING CAPPED AND STORM-FREE PRIOR TO THE SQUALL
LINE.

IN ANY CASE...ALL INGREDIENTS WILL BE PRESENT FOR WIDESPREAD SEVERE
WEATHER. DEWPOINTS...AS ALREADY NOTED...WILL BE WELL INTO THE UPPER
60S AND POTENTIALLY LOWER 70S BY LATE MORNING. MLCAPES OF
1700-2500J/KG...STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AROUND
7.5C/KM...40-50KTS OF 0-6KM SHEAR...25-30KTS OF 0-1KM SHEAR...AND
0-1KM HELICITIES OF 200-300M2/S2 SUPPORT ALL MODES OF SEVERE
WEATHER. WHAT I CAN ENVISION IS THAT AS THE SQUALL LINE IS
DEVELOPING...THERE COULD BE BROKEN LINES WHERE THE TORNADO THREAT
MIGHT BE ENHANCED EARLIER AND LARGE HAIL TO THE SIZE OF GOLFBALLS
WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE DELTA REGION(AND IN ANY PRE-SQUALL LINE
STORMS THAT MAY BE PRESENT). HOWEVER AS THE SQUALL LINE BECOMES MORE
SOLIDIFIED AND CONGEALED...AND THE DEEP LAYER FLOW BECOMES MORE
PARALLEL WITH THE FRONT...THE THREAT FOR WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS
WILL POSE A GREATER RISK...THOUGH THERE WILL REMAIN THE RISK FOR
TORNADOES IN ANY BREAKS IN THE LINE AND LARGE HAIL THREAT WILL
CONTINUE THANKS TO SUCH STEEP LAPSE RATES AND VIGOROUS UPDRAFTS.
WITH ALL OF THIS...SPC HAS UPGRADED NORTHERN PORTIONS OF MY CWA TO A
MODERATE RISK. IT IS THIS AREA THAT IS CLOSEST TO THE FORCING AND
BETTER HEIGHT FALLS AS WELL.

ONCE THIS SQUALL LINE SOLIDIFIES...IT SHOULD FLY THROUGH THE CWA.
LOOKS LIKE THE BEST TIMING WOULD BE AROUND NOON TIL 2PM OR 3PM
ACROSS THE DELTA...3PM TO 6PM ACROSS THE I-55 CORRIDOR AND THEN 5PM
TO 8PM ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN ZONES. I COULD EASILY SEE ALL
CONVECTION THROUGH MY CWA BY 00Z(7PM) BUT SOME HI-RES WRF MODELS DO
INDICATE SOME LAG UNTIL JUST AFTER 7PM.

WITH REGARDS TO HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL...GIVEN THE AMPLE MOISTURE
ACROSS THE CWA AND MODELS INDICATE POOLING AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY(WITH PW VALUES OF 1.5-1.8 INCHES)...IT WILL NOT BE OUT OF
THE QUESTION TO SEE 1-2 INCHES OF RAIN..ESPECIALLY IN HEAVY
DOWNPOURS. HOWEVER...GIVEN THAT THIS LINE IS EXPECTED TO RACE
THROUGH THE CWA AND SOME HI-RES MODELS INDICATE IT MIGHT BE A
THINNER LINE OF STORMS RATHER THAN THICKER...FLASH FLOODING IS NOT
OF GREAT CONCERN WITH THIS SYSTEM AS WAS THE CASE WITH SOME PREVIOUS
ONES. THAT BEING SAID...THERE COULD DEFINITELY BE SOME PONDING OF
WATER.

ALL PRECIP LOOKS TO EXIT THE CWA BY 00Z-03Z TUESDAY WITH FRONTAL
PASSAGE. HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION IN ITS WAKE AND
SKIES WILL CLEAR. DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL FOR TUESDAY AND
TUESDAY NIGHT. COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL FILTER IN WITH HIGHS ON
TUESDAY FORECAST TO ONLY REACH INTO THE MID 60S. FOLLOWING
FROPA...LOWS MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY NIGHT WILL BE CHILLY WITH
READINGS IN THE UPPER 30S AND LOWER 40S.

ONE FINAL ORDER OF BUSINESS FOR TODAY...GIVEN A TIGHTENED PRESSURE
GRADIENT OVER THE AREA AHEAD OF THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...WINDS WILL
BE RATHER GUSTY TODAY. WINDS WILL BE OUT OF THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
AROUND 20-30MPH WITH GUSTS AS HIGH AS 40-45MPH OUTSIDE OF STORMS.
GIVEN THIS...A WIND ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE
CWA THROUGH 4PM. WINDS WILL REMAIN GUSTY BEYOND THIS TIME BUT GIVEN
ONGOING STORMS...WILL LET DAY SHIFT DECIDE ABOUT EXTENDING INTO THE
EARLY EVENING OR JUST LET IT EXPIRE BEING THAT WINDS WILL BE STRONG
WITH STORMS THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. LIGHTER WINDS WILL PREVAIL
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT MONDAY NIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE
AREA.

WITH RESPECT TO GUIDANCE POPS AND TEMPS...RAISED HIGHS IN THE DELTA
FOR TODAY SINCE MAV GUI WAS ALREADY TOO LOW COMPARED TO CURRENT WARM
OVERNIGHT TEMPS. THESE LOCATIONS COULD SEE UPPER 70S BEFORE THE RAIN
AND STORMS BEGIN. OTHER LOCATIONS LOOKED REASONABLE AND HIGHS WILL
PUSH INTO THE 80S...AND EVEN INTO THE UPPER 80S ACROSS THE PINE BELT
WHERE STORMS WILL BE KEPT AT BAY UNTIL MUCH LATER INTO THE
AFTERNOON. RAISED POPS FOR TODAY MOST AREAS EXCEPT THE EAST WHERE
STORMS MAY BE LATER. LOWERED POPS IN THE DELTA TONIGHT FOLLOWING
FROPA. /28/

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY...MED RANGE/LONG TERM LOOKS
TO BE RATHER QUIET WITH THE FOCUS BEING WARM TEMPS AND ABV AVG
CONDITIONS FOR EARLY APRIL.

FOR WED...THE COOL SFC HIGH WILL STILL BE IN PLACE AND SHIFTING EAST
OF THE AREA DURING THE DAY. THIS WILL START THE RETURN FLOW AND THE
WARM UP AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. HIGHS WED WILL PEAK BETWEEN
75-80 DEGREES.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL BUILD OVER THE GULF FOR LATE WEEK AND
FURTHER INCREASE OVER THE REGION THIS WEEKEND. THIS RESULTING RIDGE
AND ASSOCIATED CAPPING...WILL KEEP PRECIP ACTIVITY AT BAY THROUGH AT
LEAST SUNDAY. AS THE UPPER RIDGE AXIS BUILDS OVER THE REGION...THE
CENTER OF THE SFC HIGH WILL BE OFF THE SE US COAST. THIS WILL PUT
OUR AREA ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE HIGH AND ENTRENCHED IN DEEP
SOUTHERLY FLOW. THE RESULT WILL BE VERY WARM LOW LEVEL TEMPS AND 60S
DEWPTS. HOT/HUMID WILL BE THE NAME OF THE GAME AND THE SAVING GRACE
LOOKS TO BE A STEADY PRESSURE GRADIENT WHICH WILL KEEP THE WINDS
BLOWING FOR RELIEF. STARTING WITH THU AND HIGHS AROUND 80S...TEMPS
WILL BUILD EACH DAY INTO THE WEEKEND. LOOK FOR MID 80S FRI AND UPPER
80S SAT. FOR NOW...FORECAST HIGHS FOR SUN ARE IN THE MID 80S...BUT
COULD EASILY BE WARMER. ACTUALLY DURING THE ENTIRE WEEKEND THE AREA
COULD SEE TEMPS PUSH 90 DEGREES. ALL THIS WOULD BE NEAR RECORD HIGH
TEMPS AS 87-90 DEGREES IS THE RANGE OF RECORDS FOR SAT-SUN.

FOR NOW...HAVE LEFT THE GUID POPS OF 20-30% GOING FOR SUN-MON DUE TO
UNCERTAINTY AND THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME SYSTEM BREAKING DOWN THE
RIDGE. /CME/

&&

.AVIATION...CEILINGS ABOVE 3KFT WERE BEING OBSERVED ACROSS THE
NORTHERN TAF SITES WHILE CEILINGS BELOW 3KFT CONTINUED OVER THE
SOUTHERN TWO THIRDS OF THE AREA. EXPECT CEILINGS TO RISE JUST ABOVE
3KFT THROUGH 17Z BEFORE A SEVERE SQUALL LINE MOVES THROUGH THE AREA
AHEAD OF A COLD FROPA. THE SQUALL LINE WILL LIKELY AFFECT GLH BY
AROUND 18-19Z...GWO BY 19-20Z...GTR BY AROUND 21-22Z..JAN AROUND
21-22Z...MEI AND HBG BY 22-00Z. WINDS WILL BE STRONG TODAY OUT OF
THE SW. SPEEDS OF 20KTS WITH GUSTS TO 35KTS WILL BE POSSIBLE EVEN
AWAY FROM STORMS. FOLLOWING FROPA...WINDS WILL TURN OUT OF THE NORTH
AND EVENTUALLY DIMINISH OVERNIGHT WITH CLEARING SKIES. /22/

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

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

A SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK IS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS
EVENING ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS. THERE WILL BE A RISK FOR WIDESPREAD DAMAGING
WINDS UP TO 70 MPH...TORNADOES...AND LARGE HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF
GOLFBALLS. THE MOST LIKELY TIME FOR THESE STORMS TO OCCUR WILL BE
FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH 8 PM.

VERY STRONG WIND SHEAR AND A VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL BE
IN PLACE OVER THE ARKLAMISS AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. AS THE FRONT
MOVES ACROSS THE AREA...A BROKEN LINE OF STORMS WILL DEVELOP AND FORM
INTO A SQUALL LINE AS WELL AS CLUSTERS OF SEVERE STORMS. SUPERCELL
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITHIN AND JUST AHEAD OF THE SQUALL
LINE AS IT MOVES SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA...POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN
A MORE ENHANCED RISK FOR TORNADOES DURING THE AFTERNOON INTO EARLY
THIS EVENING. THE RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER SHOULD DIMINISH FROM THE
NORTHWEST FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING BY 8
PM. IN ADDITION...INTENSE RAINFALL RATES COULD BE EXPECTED TO PRODUCE
A QUICK ONE TO TWO INCHES OF RAINFALL. THIS MAY RESULT IN SOME
PONDING OF WATER.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR THE PERIOD.

.SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...
THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...HAM RADIO OPERATORS...AND
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL IN SUPPORT OF SEVERE WEATHER
OPERATIONS...WILL BE NEEDED UNTIL ABOUT MID EVENING.
