AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
441 PM CST TUE MAR 8 2011

.DISCUSSION...

HIGH-END SEVERE WEATHER AND FLASH FLOODING IS STILL ANTICIPATED
THROUGH TONIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW MORNING. FORECAST THINKING IS STILL
ABOUT THE SAME...WITH THE GREATEST RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER ALONG AND
WEST OF THE MS RIVER EXTENDING SOUTHEAST ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL
MS...AND THE GREATEST RISK FOR FLASH FLOODING ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF
THE NATCHEZ TRACE PARKWAY.

A WARM FRONT REMAINS DRAPED ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS THIS AFTN WITH SFC
DEWPOINTS STILL IN THE LOWER 50S ALONG THE HWY 82 CORRIDOR FROM GWO
TO GTR...WHILE UPPER 60S DEWPOINTS WERE SURGING INLAND AND
APPROACHING THE NATCHEZ AREA PRIOR TO SUNSET. SCATTERED MOSTLY
ELEVATED STORMS HAVE CONTINUED FOR MUCH OF THE DAY...BUT
SURFACE-BASED STORMS HAVE BEEN MOVING INTO THE HIGHWAY 84 CORRIDOR
WITH THE MOST INTENSE STORMS NOW APPROACHING THE COLUMBIA TO
HATTIESBURG AREA.

THE LATEST GUIDANCE INDICATES THE WARM SECTOR WILL CONTINUE TO SURGE
INLAND AND EXPECT MID 60S SFC DEWPOINTS WILL APPROACH THE I-20
CORRIDOR DURING THE NIGHT WITH MIXED LAYER CAPE EXCEEDING 700 J/KG...
GIVEN THE VERY STRONG SHEAR EXPECTED (0-1KM 35-40KTS, 0-6KM >50KTS)
AND HIGH VORTICITY GENERATION POTENTIAL OVER NE LA INTO SRN MS...WE
ARE STILL VERY CONCERNED WITH THE RISK FOR STRONG TORNADOES OVER SRN
AND WRN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA...WITH THE RISK DECREASING
SHARPLY OVER NC/NE PORTIONS OF MS ALONG THE HWY 82 CORRIDOR WHERE
INSTABILITY SHOULD REMAIN ELEVATED FOR THE MOST PART.

THE RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER AND FLOODING WILL BECOME MOSTLY CONFINED
TO SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS WEDNESDAY MORNING...WITH
DRIER CONDITIONS MOVING INTO THE ENTIRE AREA FOR THE AFTN. /EC/

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

VERY STRONG MOISTURE TRANSPORT WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES IN
EXCESS OF 1.5 INCHES...A VERY RICH BOUNDARY LAYER...AND INCREASINGLY
DEEP MOISTURE PROFILES WILL SUPPORT INTENSE RAINFALL RATES IN TSTM
ACTIVITY...AS HAS ALREADY BEEN THE CASE OVER SC/SE MS. DEEP LAYER
WIND FIELDS BECOME MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL THROUGH THE NIGHT AND WILL
SUPPORT AN INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR TRAINING STORMS. HIGH RES WRF
OUTPUT INDICATES THE POTENTIAL FOR > 5 TO 7 INCHES OF RAINFALL SOUTH
OF I-20 OVER SC/SE MS TONIGHT INTO WED MORNING. THERE ARE SOME
INDICATIONS OF BI-MODAL QPF MAXES AS PRIMARY TROUGH AXIS APPROACHES
AND INCITES TSTM COMPLEX OVER WRN PORTIONS OF THE AREA LATER THIS
EVNG...WHILE THE COMPLEX OVER SC/SE MS REMAINS ANCHORED THERE. THE
OVERALL MODEL CONSENSUS SHOWS THAT THE CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH
NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED A LITTLE FARTHER NW INTO NC MS AND AMOUNTS HAVE
BEEN BEEFED UP A BIT AS WELL. /EC/

&&

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 910 AM CST TUE MAR 8 2011/

THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...QUIET WEATHER WILL RETURN TO THE REGION
FOR THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST. COOLER AIR WILL MOVE INTO
THE REGION AS CAA DOMINATES THURSDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO
BE ABOUT 5-10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS POINT IN MARCH.
TEMPERATURES THURS. WILL RANGE FROM 57-63. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE
CHILLY WITH FROST LIKELY FRIDAY MORNING. GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT
THERE COULD BE A LIGHT FREEZE WITH LOWS IN THE 30-33 RANGE EAST OF
I-55. THIS OCCURS AS A 1027MB SURFACE HIGH TRACKS ACROSS THE AREA.
CONDITIONS WILL NOT REMAIN TOO CHILLY FOR TOO LONG AS SHORTWAVE
RIDGING MOVES OVER THE AREA FRIDAY AND THE SFC HIGH SCOOTS A LITTLE
TO THE EAST. THIS WILL BRING LIGHT SOUTHERLY FLOW BACK TO THE REGION
AND HELP TO SEND HIGHS BACK INTO THE MID TO UPPER 60S.

SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT...A WEAK TROUGH AXIS WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE NORTHERN PART OF THE REGION BUT LOOKS TO NOT MAKE IT COMPLETELY
THROUGH THE CWA. THE MAIN AFFECT FROM THIS WOULD BE TO BRING IN SOME
CLOUD COVER AND A LITTLE BIT OF DRIER AIR...MOSTLY TO LOCATIONS
ALONG AND NORTH OF THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR. NO RAINFALL IS EXPECTED
WITH THIS PASSAGE. UNLIKE THIS PAST WEEKEND...THE UPCOMING WEEKEND
LOOKS TO BE FANTASTIC. WAA INCREASES AND TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE
UPPER 60S/LOWER 70S BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE
COOL IN THE 40S...BUT CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO BE DRY.

THE NEXT POTENTIAL FOR RAIN COMES AROUND MONDAY. MODELS SHOW SOME
DIFFERENCES IN SOLUTIONS AS TO HOW MUCH A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL DIG
OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THE GFS IS A BIT FASTER AND A BIT MORE
BULLISH IN DEVELOPING THE UPPER LOW AND KEEPING IT A CLOSED LOW AS
IT BARRELS THROUGH THE SOUTHEAST STATES.. AS WELL AS DEVELOPING A SFC
LOW AND TRACKING IT ACROSS ARKANSAS MONDAY EVENING. THE ECMWF IS MUCH
WEAKER AND EVENTUALLY OPENS IT UP INTO A WAVE AS IT MOVES NORTH OF
THE REGION. THE GFS ENSEMBLES DO NOT SHOW MUCH DEEPENING OF THE
TROUGH WHICH MIGHT LEND THAT THE OPERATIONAL GFS IS A BIT TOO
BULLISH. EITHER WAY...THIS WOULD LEAD TO THE NEXT POTENTIAL CHANCE
FOR RAIN. /28/

&&

.AVIATION...

DEEP MOISTURE WILL INCREASE TODAY AHEAD OF A DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM THAT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.  MVFR
CATEGORY CEILINGS WERE BEING REPORTED ALONG THE SOUTHERN 2/3RDS OF
THE REGION AND WILL SPREAD NE ACROSS ENTIRE AREA PRIOR TO NOON. AREA
RADARS WERE INDICATING SCATTERED SHOWERS/TSTMS TRACKING NORTHEAST
ACROSS THE REGION. SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
THIS AFTERNOON. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
TONIGHT WITH DETERIORATING CEILINGS AND VSBYS FOR ALL SITES
INCLUDING IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS IN HEAVIER RAIN. CONDITIONS WILL
IMPROVE WEDNESDAY IN THE WAKE OF A STRONG COLD FRONT THAT WILL BE
NEAR GLH BY 12Z WED AND BE SE OF HBG BY 21Z WED. /17/
