AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
855 PM CST THU FEB 24 2011

...SEVERE STORMS TONIGHT AND AGAIN POSSIBLY SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY
NIGHT...

.UPDATE...LINE OF SEVERE STORMS PUSHING THROUGH THE DELTA REGION OF
MISSISSIPPI EXTENDING FROM WEST OF EUPORA TO VICKSBURG THEN WEAKENING
TO STRONG STORMS SOUTHWESTWARD OVER NORTHEAST LOUISIANA. HAVE UPDATED
ZONES FOR NEW TORNADO WATCH ALONG AND EAST OF THE SQUALL LINE ALONG
INTERSTATE 20 UNTIL 2 AM. OLD WATCH IN THE DELTA REGION WILL BE ALLOWED
TO EXPIRE AT 10 AM. ADJUSTED GRIDS AND ZONES. THE LINE SHOULD BE
OUT OF THE REGION BY AFTER 1 AM. THE REST OF FORECAST APPEARS TO BE
ON TRACK. THE LINE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ITS WAY ACROSS THE AREA
THROUGH THE EVENING INTO THE NIGHT. THE LATEST SOUNDING INDICATES A
STRONG CAP AROUND 650MB AND THIS PLAYS OUT AS THERE IS VERY LITTLE
ACTIVITY EXCEPT FOR SHOWERS AHEAD OF THE LINE. MOISTURE IS SURGING
NORTHWARD AHEAD OF THE LINE WITH THE MODELS INDICATE A 328-330K
THETA E RIDGE NOSING UP OUT AHEAD OF IT. AS THE UPPER FORCING GETS
CLOSER THE CAP WILL BREAK FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE AREA. THE
BEST INSTABILITY/SHEAR CONTINUES TO LOOK GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH
OF THE I-20 CORRIDOR WITH THE BEST COMBINATION OVER THE NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE AREA. THE LINE WILL EVENTUALLY SHIFT TO THE EAST OF
THE AREA AFTER 1 AM AND HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING WILL BUILD IN. LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE BEHIND THE BOUNDARY WILL KEEP THE CLOUDS AROUND
THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS THOUGH. /15/17/

./PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORMS LINED UP TO OUR WEST (AND
PUSHING INTO THE ARKLATEX) ALONG A PRE-FRONTAL SURFACE TROUGH ARE
STARTING TO LOOK MORE HEALTHY AT THIS HOUR IN RESPONSE TO INCREASING
UPPER LEVEL FORCING. STILL HAVE SEEN VERY LITTLE EVIDENCE OF ANY
SIGNIFICANT ISOLATED PRE-SQUALL CONVECTION IN THE VICINITY OF THE
REGION...WHICH IS SOMETHING WE ARE KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON. ACTIVITY
TO THE WEST WAS EARLIER CREEPING EAST AT 20 KTS...BUT IS NOT
ACCELERATING AS INTENSITIES HEIGHTEN.

IF NO PRE-SQUALL LINE SUPERCELLULAR ACTIVITY MATERIALIZES AT
ALL...EXPECT THUNDERSTORMS TO NOT GET INTO THE EXTREME NORTHWEST
ARKLAMISS DELTA ZONES UNTIL AT LEAST 630 OR 7 PM. THESE STORMS HAVE
PRODUCED VERY LITTLE SEVERE REPORTS AS OF THE TIME OF THIS
WRITING...BUT THIS WILL PROBABLY NOT CONTINUE TO BE THE CASE SINCE
STORM INTENSITIES ARE PICKING UP AND THE THE OVERALL ENVIRONMENT FOR
STORM GROWTH IS BECOMING MORE FAVORABLE WITH TIME THIS AFTERNOON. IN
FACT...THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ALREADY PLACED PORTIONS OF MY
NORTHWESTERN ZONES IN A TORNADO WATCH THROUGH 10 PM ALREADY. OUR
THINKING IS THAT THIS LINE OF STORMS WILL MAINLY CARRY A DAMAGING
WIND GUST POTENTIAL TO 60 OT 70 MPH...BUT VERY HIGH LEVELS OF
LOW-LEVEL SHEAR WILL ALSO BRING A RISK FOR QLCS-TYPE ASSOCIATED
TORNADOES.

AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED BY OUR OFFICE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS
EVENT...LEVELS OF INSTABILITY ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE HIGH (< 1000
J/KG ML CAPE) AND STRONG UPWARD MOTION OFFERED BY THE INCOMING
ATMOSPHERIC DISTURBANCE WILL BE NECESSARY TO OVERCOME THIS LACK AND
BRING STORMS UP TO SEVERE STRENGTH. THIS UPWARD MOTION SHOULD
DECREASE GREATLY AS YOU HEAD SOUTH TOWARD THE COAST...SO IT IS NOT
HARD TO IMAGINE THAT OUR CONFIDENCE IN SEVERE WEATHER IS MUCH LESS
DOWN TOWARD THE HIGHWAY 84 CORRIDOR (AND ESPECIALLY IN SOUTHEASTERN
MS WHERE INSTABILITY WILL LIKELY BE LESS THAN ELSEWHERE). PREVIOUS
HWO PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN ASSESSING THE RISK MUCH IN THE THIS FASHION
AND THUS NO RADICAL UPDATES HAVE BEEN MADE TO TENOR AND MESSAGE OF
PRODUCTS CONCERNING THIS EVENT.

WE EXPECT THE SQUALL LINE TO BASICALLY SHOW A NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST
TILT ACROSS THE REGION AS IT MOVES THROUGH THIS EVENING...PROBABLY
COMING CLOSE TO PARALLELING THE NATCHEZ TRACE CORRIDOR BY
MIDNIGHT...AND THEN LIKELY EXITING THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF OUR CWA
AROUND 3 TO 4 AM. THE BIG WILD CARD IN MY NORTHWEST ZONES THROUGH
EARLY THIS EVENING REMAINS ON WHETHER OR NOT ANY PRE-SQUALL ISOLATED
SUPERCELLS CAN MATERIALIZE. IF THIS OCCURS THEN OBVIOUSLY ALL MODES
OF SEVERE WEATHER WOULD BE A MAJOR RISK WITH ANY SUCH CELLS.
HOWEVER...IT IS JUST A SMALL CHANCE THAT SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR
AND EFFECT OUR AREA SINCE SOUNDINGS THIS MORNING THROUGH MIDDAY
AROUND OUR LATITUDE HAVE SHOWN RESIDUAL THERMAL CAPPING THAT WILL
PROBABLY HOLD UP UNTIL SQUALL LINE ARRIVAL. OTHERWISE...EXPECT SOUTH
WINDS FROM THE SOUTH TO BE GUSTING VIGOROUSLY OUT AHEAD OF THIS
SQUALL LINE...ESPECIALLY IN THE UPPER ARKLAMISS DELTA WHERE A WIND
ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT THROUGH MIDNIGHT. IT IS POSSIBLE WE MAY HAVE
TO EXPAND THIS WIND ADVISORY EARLY THIS EVENING AND WE WILL WATCH
THAT SITUATION CLOSELY.

LOOK FOR THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT TO LAG THE PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH BY A
BIT...NOT MOVING ACROSS THE BULK OF THE REGION UNTIL VERY LATE
TONIGHT OR EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. LOW CLOUDS AND MAYBE A PATCH OR
TWO OF DRIZZLE COULD HANG IN UNTIL THIS FRONT CLEARS. FOLLOWING THIS
FEATURE WILL BE COOLER TEMPERATURES FOR TOMORROW AND TOMORROW
NIGHT...BUT WE STILL DO NOT EXPECT ANYBODY TO GET DOWN TO FREEZING
TOMORROW NIGHT (ALTHOUGH SOME SPOTS IN EAST CENTRAL AND NORTHEASTERN
MS MAY GET CLOSE). THE COOL CONDITIONS WILL BE SHORT LIVED AS THE
VERY PROGRESSIVE CONUS PATTERN TRANSFERS THIS HIGH PRESSURE QUICKLY
TO THE EAST AND SHOVES ANOTHER POWERFUL DISTURBANCE TOWARD US FROM
OUT OF THE DESERT SOUTHWEST BY LATER SUNDAY. TRENDS WITH THIS SYSTEM
TO IMPACT THE ARKLAMISS WITH CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND STORMS LATE
SUNDAY INTO EARLY MONDAY HAVE BEEN LOOKING MORE IN THE STYLE OF
HYPER LA-NINA (AND THUS WARMER AND LESS WET). COMBINATIONS OF
INSTABILITY AND WIND SHEAR COULD STILL END OF UP BEING DISTURBINGLY
HIGH FOR PORTIONS OF THE AREA (ESPECIALLY NORTH OF I-20)...WHILE
THERMAL CAPPING COULD PRECLUDE A VERY HIGH SEVERE POTENTIAL IN OUR
SOUTH. WE HAVE TRENDED THE HWO TOWARD THIS LINE OF THINKING SOME.

THE PREVIOUS FORECASTER AND THEIR RELEVANT DISCUSSION WAS APPENDED
BELOW. /BB/
