Area forecast discussion, Apr 11, 3:43 PM CDT, 1 hour 42 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
343 PM CDT MON APR 11 2011
.DISCUSSION...A SURFACE COLD FRONT IS CURRENTLY PUSHING EASTWARD
ACROSS THE AREA. AS OF 20Z...IT EXTENDED FROM NEAR MEMPHIS TN...TO
GREENWOOD... TO VICKSBURG...TO ALEXANDRIA LA. A BAND OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EXTEND ALONG THE FRONT. SO FAR THE CONVECTION HAS BEEN
OUTFLOW DOMINANT...WITH THE STRONGEST UPDRAFTS IN ELEVATED CONVECTION
BEHIND THE LEADING EDGE OF THE STORMS. HOWEVER THE 18Z JAN SOUNDING
SHOWED WINDS AS HIGH AS 41 KTS AT THE TOP OF THE MIXED LAYER...
ALLOWING EVEN SOME OF THE WEAKER CONVECTION TO PRODUCE WIND GUSTS IN
THE 35 TO 45 KT RANGE.
OUTSIDE OF THE STORMS SOUTH TO SOUTH SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS HAVE BEEN
GUSTY...PARTICULARLY OVER THE ARKLAMISS DELTA AREA...WHERE THERE
HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS GUSTS OVER 30 KTS. WHILE GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE
BEHIND THE FRONT...WE SHOULD SEE THEM RELAX ENOUGH TO REMAIN BELOW
WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA. THUS THE CURRENTLY VALID WIND ADVISORY WILL
BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE ON TIME.
PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND STRONG WARM ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE
FRONT HAVE ALLOWED TEMPERATURES TO SOAR TO NEAR RECORD LEVELS IN THE
MIDDLE 80S. BEHIND THE FRONT...TEMPERATURES WERE ALREADY QUICKLY
FALLING INTO THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHEASTERN
ARKANSAS AND NORTHERN LOUISIANA.
SHORT TERM (THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)...THE 18Z JAN SOUNDING CONTINUED
TO SHOW A RATHER DEEP CAPPING INVERSION BETWEEN 550 MB AND 850 MB.
BUFR SOUNDINGS INDICATE THIS CAP ERODING OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. IN
ADDITION...CONSECUTIVE RUNS OF THE HRRR HAVE BEEN INDICATING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF MORE VIGOROUS CONVECTION BY LATE AFTERNOON...MAINLY
AFFECTING AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF I-55. THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH ANY
SEVERE STORMS WILL BE DAMAGING STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS. STILL CANNOT RULE
OUT A TORNADO...BUT BELIEVE THE BETTER TORNADO THREAT WILL REMAIN
NORTH OF THE CWA CLOSER TO THE SURFACE LOW TRACK.
ELSEWHERE...THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IS ALL BUT OVER BEHIND THE
FRONT...AND WE ARE ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF PAIRING DOWN TORNADO
WATCH 128.
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED
TO BE EXITING THE CWA BY 00Z...BUT A FEW SHOWERS MAY LINGER THROUGH
THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. STUCK CLOSE TO MAV GUIDANCE...WHICH WAS
INDICATING CHANCE POPS OVER EASTERN MISSISSIPPI.
THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL SWING PAST THE AREA OVERNIGHT WITH WEAK
RIDING DEVELOPING THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. GENERALLY
SPEAKING...CLOUDS WILL CLEAR QUICKLY BEHIND THIS FRONT...AND MOSTLY
CLEAR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED BY SUNRISE TOMORROW. SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN ACROSS THE MS RIVER VALLEY TUESDAY. THE RIDGE
AXIS WILL MAKE SLOW EASTWARD PROGRESS ACROSS THE CWA THROUGH MID
WEEK...AS VERY LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW RETURNS BY LATE IN THE DAY
WEDNESDAY. STUCK CLOSE TO MAV/GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN GUIDANCE TEMPS AND
WINDS THROUGH THE PERIOD. /DL/
LONG TERM (THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...THE PRIMARY CONCERNS WILL BE
THE SYSTEM AFFECTING THE REGION FOR LATE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...
FOLLOWED BY SOME RETURN FLOW FOR RAIN CHANCES FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.
LASTLY TEMPS AND POPS.
AS WE GO INTO THE LATER PART OF THE WORK WEEK...WE WILL START TO GET
SOME RETURN FLOW AHEAD OF A DEVELOPING STORM SYSTEM IN THE PLAINS. A
CLOSED UPPER LOW FROM SOUTHWEST CANADA WILL HELP TO DEVELOP THE
SYSTEM. THIS WILL BRING SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION
FOR THURSDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL COME THROUGH ON THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY. MODELS STILL HAVE SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES WITH THE COLD
FRONT PASSAGE. THE EURO WAS A LITTLE SLOWER WITH THE UPPER CLOSED
LOW PUSHING INTO THE PLAINS ON FRIDAY...WHILE THE GFS HAD IT OVER
THE MID TO UPPER MS VALLEY AT THIS TIME. THE CANADIAN WAS A LITTLE
FARTHER NORTH WITH THE CLOSED LOW IN THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
WITH SUCH SPACING IN POSITIONS...THIS WILL HAVE AN AFFECT ON COLD
FRONT TIMING. THE ENSEMBLES WERE ALSO POINTING TO A CLOSED UPPER LOW
SYSTEM...BUT WITH SOME POSITIONING DIFFERENCES. THERE WILL BE ENOUGH
DYNAMICS FOR SOME SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBILITIES WITH THIS SYSTEM IN
FORM OF A LINE. DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL BE AROUND 40 KNOTS AT 0-6KM
AND CAPES OF GREATER THAN 2000 J/KG. SO WILL KEEP THE MENTION OF
POSSIBLE SEVERE FOR THE HWO FOR THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY. THE
FRONT SHOULD CLEAR THE REGION BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON OR EVENING. WE
COULD GET SOME WRAP AROUND SPRINKLES FOR FRIDAY EVENING.
DRY WEATHER WILL RETURN ON SATURDAY. LOWS FOR SATURDAY MORNING WILL
DIP INTO THE 40S AND 50S. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE 60S AND 70S FOR
SATURDAY. THE CLOSED LOW WILL LIFT OUT TO THE NORTHEAST US BY
SUNDAY. THE CENTER OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER THE REGION ON
SATURDAY NIGHT. LOWS WILL BE FROM THE UPPER 30S TO THE MIDDLE 40S. WE
WILL GET BACK TO A MORE ZONAL PATTERN FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO
MONDAY. WE WILL START TO GET SOME RETURN FLOW FOR SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY. TEMPS WILL START TO MODIFY SOME FOR EARLY MONDAY WILL LOWS IN
THE MIDDLE 40S TO LOWER 50S. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE
FOR SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.
AS FAR AS TEMPS ARE CONCERN WENT WITH A BLEND OF MEX...MOS...HPC AND
MEN GUIDANCE. MADE SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS TO MEX AND MEN POPS FOR THE
PERIOD. /17/

.AVIATION....SHARP WIND SHIFT NEAR A WINONA TO JACKSON TO NATCHEZ

AFFECT NERN MS KGTR BEFORE THE BOUNDARY PASSES. LINE OF SHRA/ TSRA
WILL CONSOLIDATE/INTENSIFY AS IT CROSSES I-55 CORRIDOR AND MOVES
THROUGH ERN MS WITH POTENTIAL SEVERE WIND GUSTS. TSRA LINE EXITS ERN
MS ABOUT 02-4Z THEN...MORE VFR CONDITIONS LATE TONIGHT BEHIND THE
