AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
420 PM CDT FRI MAY 13 2011

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY/RUC
ANALYSIS SHOWS THE CLOSED LOW SPINNING OVER SOUTHERN MISSOURI WITH
PLENTY OF DRY AIR ALOFT NOTED WRAPPING AROUND THE LOW AND INTO THE
WESTERN HALF OF OUR CWA. THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW WAS NOTED OVER
ILLINOIS WITH THE TRAILING COLD FRONT STRETCHING SOUTH NEAR THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER. LITTLE OR NO PCPN WAS NOTED ON LOCAL RADARS WEST
OF INTERSTATE 55 SO HAVE CANCELLED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH ALONG THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND ITS BACK WATER AREAS. AHEAD OF THE FRONT OVER
EASTERN MISSISSIPPI SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WERE OCCURRING. THERE IS
STILL THE POTENTIAL FOR A SEVERE STORM OR TWO TO DEVELOP WITH
QUARTER SIZE HAIL BEING THE MAIN THREAT. A GUST TO 60 MPH CANNOT BE
RULED OUT. THE MOST FAVORABLE AREA FOR DEVELOPMENT IS OVER OUR
NORTHEAST ZONES WHERE A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH WAS IN EFFECT
THROUGH THIS EVENING. THIS ACTIVITY WILL SHIFT EAST DURING THE
EVENING. AS THE CLOSE LOW MOVES EAST OVER THE TENNESSEE VALLEY
TONIGHT A LAYER OF STRATOCU IS PROGGED TO DROP SOUTH ACROSS OUR
NORTHERN TIER ZONES BUT NO SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED.
COOLER AND DRIER WEATHER WILL BE THE RULE FOR THE SHORT TERM FROM
TONIGHT ON. THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE SOUTHEAST OF OUR CWA BY
MORNING WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 50S ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA.
SATURDAY THE CLOSED LOW WILL LIFT NORTHEAST OVER THE OHIO VALLEY
WITH NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT REMAINING OVER OUR REGION. SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD SOUTH INTO OUR REGION FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS
AS WELL. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE NORTHEAST DECENT INSOLATION IS
EXPECTED. THIS WILL ALLOW SITES TO CLIMB INTO THE MID TO UPPER 70S
WHILE OUR NORTHERN ZONES MAKE IT ONLY INTO THE LOWER 70S. THESE
COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL COMBINE WITH A NORTH WIND AND LOW RELATIVE
HUMIDITY RESULTING IN A FINE SPRING DAY. SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT
THE CLOSED LOW WILL STILL BE SPINNING NEAR THE OHIO VALLEY WHEN A
POTENT SHORTWAVE DROPS DOWN THE BACK SIDE INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS
SUNDAY AND ACROSS OUR CWA SUNDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL BRING A
REINFORCING SHOT OF COOL DRY AIR INTO OUR REGION. AFTERNOON HIGH
SUNDAY SHOULD TOP OUT A COUPLE DEGREES COOLER THAN ON SATURDAY.
SUNDAY NIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL DIP BACK INTO THE UPPER 40S ACROSS
MUCH OF EAST MISSISSIPPI. GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES WERE CLOSE THROUGH
THE PERIOD AND MAV WAS GENERALLY ACCEPTED. GUIDANCE POPS WERE CUT
FROM THE WEST TONIGHT AND IN THE NORTHEAST SATURDAY. /22/

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...BY MONDAY...STRONGER CAA TAKES
PLACE WITH H85 TEMPS DROPPING DOWN BETWEEN 2 TO 4 DEGREES UNDER
STRONGER NORTH LOW-LVL FLOW AS ANOTHER MID-LEVEL WAVE ROTATES ACROSS
THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. WITH SOME AREAS RECEIVING LIMITED
INSOLATION GIVEN CONTINUED STRATOCUMULUS DECK...SOME LOCATIONS MAY
NOT MAKE IT OUT OF THE 70S EXCEPT FOR SOME SOUTHERN LOCATIONS ACROSS
THE 84 CORRIDOR. HIGHS MONDAY WILL BE SOME 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMALS
FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. LOW TEMPERATURES INTO TUESDAY MORNING COULD
FALL INTO THE UPPER 40S ACROSS NORTHERN AND EASTERN AREAS AS CLOUDS
BEGIN TO EXIT THE REGION.

TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...MODEL SOLUTIONS BEGIN TO DIVERGE BUT SHOW
ENOUGH AGREEMENT/CONTINUITY THAT SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE APPEARS TO
NOSE IN ACROSS THE SOUTH-CENTRAL PLAINS AND THE SOUTHEAST.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE COMFORTABLE WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE
MID TO UPPER 70S AND LOWS IN THE MID 50S AFTER REDUCING MEX GUIDANCE
AND USING LOW END MENMOS VALUES GIVEN DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW TO MID
40S. THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL LEAD TO A SLOWLY MODIFYING AND
WARMING AIRMASS TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK. RETURN FLOW COULD
HAPPEN AS EARLY AS THURSDAY WITH DEWPOINTS CLIMBING BACK UP IN TO
THE LOW 60S ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN AREAS OF THE CWA. BY THE END OF THE
WEEK(FRIDAY)...THE OPS GFS IS MUCH MORE PROGRESSIVE THAN THE ECMWF
IN RESOLVING A POTENT SHORTWAVE ACROSS THE DESERT SOUTHWEST INTO THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS THAT ALLOWS FOR SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS AND POTENTIALLY
THE NEXT BIG CHANCE OF RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO NEXT WEEKEND. ON
THE FLIP SIDE...THE ECMWF IS DEPICTING THE POTENT MID-LVL TROUGHING
MUCH FARTHER WEST ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN GIVEN THAT IT HAS RESOLVED
THE EASTERN CONUS CUT-OFF LOW FARTHER SOUTH AND SLIGHTLY
DEEPER...THUS POSSIBLY CREATING MORE MID- TO UPPER-LVL BLOCKING
AND THUS NOT AS PROGRESSIVE AS OPS GFS. HAVE OPTED TO PLAY THE
MIDDLE ROAD AT THIS STAGE AND REDUCED MEX POPS FOR FRIDAY GIVEN GFS
BIASED NATURE OF BEING TOO PROGRESSIVE./ALLEN/

&&

.AVIATION...ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY
DOWNPOURS CAN BE EXPECTED BRINGING WITH IT BRIEF MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS. THE BOUNDARY WILL MOVE INTO THE DELTA LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE
EVENING INTO THE EARLY OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE WINDS WILL SWING AROUND
TO THE NW BEHIND THE FRONT WITH MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD./15/
