Severe Thunderstorm Warning 600, NWS Jackson, MS

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
227 PM CDT SAT AUG 6 2011

.SHORT TERM...(THRU MONDAY)

ANOTHER HOT AFTERNOON IS ONGOING WITH HEAT INDICES REACHING UPWARDS
OF 105 TO 110 ACROSS CENTRAL AND WESTERN ARKLAMISS AREAS. CLOUDS FROM
THIS MORNING ACROSS THE EAST HAVE KEPT TEMPS DOWN WITH HIGHS ONLY
EXPECTED TO GET INTO THE MID 90S AND HEAT INDICES STAY NEAR 105. SOME
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS EAST-
CENTRAL MS AND WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT WESTWARD THROUGH THE DAY. MUCH
OF THE ACTIVITY WILL DISSIPATE FOLLOWING SUNSET BUT SOME ISOLATED
SHOWERS MAY LINGER THROUGH THE NIGHT AS SW/V PIVOTS SWRD ACROSS SE
AND S PORTIONS OF MS AROUND THE RIDGE CENTERED ACROSS THE ARKLATEX.
THIS SW/V FEATURE ALONG WITH ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE INTO A COMPACT H7-H5
COOL CORE WILL AID IN SUPPORT OF LINGERING CLOUDS AND ISOLATED
POCKETS OF SHOWERS THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING ACROSS SERN AND SRN AREAS.
ALL OTHER LOCATIONS WILL REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR THROUGH THE NIGHT.

GOING INTO SUNDAY AFTERNOON...THE ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE LESSENS ACROSS
THE SOUTH BUT PARCEL LIFTING DUE TO INSTABILITY WILL BEGIN TO OCCUR
AS ISOLATED TO SCATTERED PULSE SHOWERS/TSTORMS LOOK TO OCCUR MAINLY
ACROSS SOUTHERN AND EASTERN LOCATIONS WHERE HIGHER PWATS EXIST.
AREAS FARTHER NORTH AND WEST WILL BE UNDER THE GREATER SUBSIDENT
INFLUENCE OF THE SLOWLY-RETROGRADING AND WEAKENING RIDGE. THESE
AREAS WILL REMAIN HOT AS A HEAT ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT AND
REFLECTED IN THE HWO. MUCH OF THE RAIN/TSTORM ACTIVITY WILL ONCE
AGAIN DIMINISH THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS SUNDAY ACROSS SRN
ZONES. COINCIDENTALLY...A RATHER COMPACT AND SPEEDY SW/V LOOKS TO
MAKE A RUN AT NRN/NERN AREAS LATE SUNDAY AND INTO MONDAY AS STRONGER
NW FLOW DEVELOPS ACROSS THE MID AND LOWER-MS VALLEY. AT THIS TIME
HOWEVER...IT APPEARS THE WAVE WILL NOT MAKE IT IN TIME TO COINCIDE
WITH PEAK INSTABILITY/HEATING BUT ANY OUTFLOW AHEAD OF IT NEED TO BE
MONITORED FOR A POSSIBLE FOCUS OF TSTORM DEVELOPMENT.

IF A LARGE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY DOES NOT MOVE THROUGH NW ZONES LATE
SUNDAY OR EARLY MONDAY MORNING...THEN THIS AREA WILL START TO BECOME
A MORE FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR SOME STRONGER TSTORM
ACTIVITY...ESPECIALLY AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THE WEEK. LARGE AMOUNTS
OF INSTABILITY WILL BUILD ON MONDAY WITH PROGGED -7 TO -10 SFC LI/S
AND DECENT H7-H5 LAPSE RATES WITH INCREASING SHEAR IN THE LOW AND MID
LEVELS THAT COULD SUPPORT SOME STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
NORTHERN LOCATIONS AS SUBTLE SW/V PULSES MOVE ACROSS NRN PORTIONS OF
THE REGION. HAVE HIGHLIGHTED THIS RISK IN THE HWO. PLEASE SEE LONG
TERM BELOW AS A MORE ACTIVE PATTERN FOR SHOWER/TSTORM ACTIVITY WILL
BE ON TAP THROUGH PORTIONS OF THE MID-WEEK. /ALLEN/

.LONG TERM...UPDATE...DID A QUICK UPDATE TO THE LONG RANGE PORTION OF THE
FORECAST BASED ON INFLUENCES FROM LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE COMING IN
OVERNIGHT. SEEMS CHANCES FOR MCS ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH NEARING
FRONTAL BOUNDARY COULD BE BETTER THAN PREVIOUSLY REPRESENTED BETWEEN
TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY. POPS UPPED IN NORTHERN ZONES WHILE
TEMPERATURES LOWERED BACK DOWN MUCH CLOSER TO MEX GUIDANCE VALUES FOR
THOSE PERIODS OF INTEREST. /BB/

LONG TERM...MONDAY THRU NEXT SATURDAY...MODELS SHOWING GOOD
AGREEMENT FOR THE HOT AND DOGGED RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE TO EDGE BACK
EVEN FURTHER TO THE WEST DURING THE FIRST HALF OF THE WORK WEEK AND
ALLOW THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE WESTERLIES ALOFT TO BUILD DOWN INTO
PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHEAST. GENERAL TROUGHING DEVELOPING OVER THIS
PERIOD NEAR THE EAST COAST WILL PROMOTE A COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO
SLOWLY SEEP SOUTH INTO THE OZARKS AND TN VALLEY ON MONDAY...AND THEN
POSSIBLY OOZING AS FAR SOUTH AS MY NORTHERN ZONES BY WEDNESDAY. THIS
BOUNDARY WILL BE SOURCE OF DEVELOPMENT FOR MULTIPLE THUNDERSTORM
COMPLEXES THAT SHOULD TRACK ESE DOWN AND JUST SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY
STARTING MONDAY. OUR AIRMASS DURING THIS TIME WILL BE HOT AND
UNSTABLE...BUT ALSO RATHER CAPPED THANKS LOW TO MID LEVEL FLOW OUT
OF THE SW AND WEST. THINKING IS PATH OF THUNDERSTORM COMPLEXES
SHOULD GENERALLY REMAIN NORTH OF THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY
TUESDAY...ALTHOUGH THE COMBINED EFFECT OF THE NEARING FRONT AND
OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES MAY BRING THE TARGET ZONE INTO AT LEAST THE
NORTHERN HALF OF THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH AT LEAST WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. BEFORE TUESDAY NIGHT OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES SNEAKING SOUTH FROM
STORM COMPLEXES TO OUR NORTH SHOULD STILL BE THE SOURCE OF AT LEAST
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IN NORTHERN AND EASTERN ZONES.
STARTING MONDAY AND GOING THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT STORMS AND STORM
CLUSTERS IN OUR VICINITY SHOULD OCCUR IN AN ENVIRONMENT POSSESSING
RATHER STEEP ATMOSPHERIC LAPSE RATES AND AT LEAST A BIT OF WIND
SHEAR. BOTH OF THESE EXPECTATIONS SUPPORT THE PRODUCTION OF STRONG
TO LOCALLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CONSIDERING LOW LEVEL JUICE THAT
WILL BE IN PLAY. PREVIOUS HWO MENTIONS THESE THREATS AND I WILL ONLY
TWEAK TIMING.

BY THURSDAY...AND DEFINITELY BY FRIDAY...MOST RELIABLE GFS ENSEMBLE
OUTPUT SUGGESTS WESTERLIES LIFTING BACK WELL TO THE NORTH OF THE
LOWER MS VALLEY WHILE RIDGING BECOMES CENTERED BACK FIRMLY OVER THE
REGION. AT LEAST THIS ROUND OF RIDGING ALOFT DOES NOT LOOK TO
SUPPORT QUITE AS MUCH HEAT WHILE MAYBE NOT SUPPRESSING ALL
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

AS FOR PARTICULARS...00Z GFS-BASED MEX GUIDANCE DID NOT LOOK TOO BAD
FOR POPS AND TEMPS. HOWEVER I DID MAKE SOME CONSISTENT ALTERATIONS
TO HIGH AND LOW TEMPS IN THE UPWARD DIRECTION FOR WESTERN ZONES
MONDAY AND TUESDAY. HERE MENTIONED WESTERLY FLOW AND LIKELIHOOD OF
CONVECTIVE EFFECT REMAINING MAINLY TO THE NORTH SUPPORT TEMPS IN THE
UPPER 90S TO NEAR 100 WITH LOWS IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S. OTHERWISE
MEX TEMPS NOT CHANGES MUCH AS IT ADVERTISED READINGS ABOVE NORMAL
THROUGH THE PERIOD. IT IS POSSIBLE SOME TEMPS IN THE NORTHEAST HALF
OF ZONES ARE TOO WARM AT SOME POINT TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY GIVEN
REGIME EXPECTATION...BUT TOO MUCH UNCERTAINTY IN CONVECTIVE
EVOLUTION TO MAKE CHANGES RIGHT NOW. MEX POPS WERE NOT OVERLY
AGGRESSIVE...WHICH IS GOOD CONSIDERING THIS PATTERN HOLDS AT LEAST
SOME POTENTIAL OF DISAPPOINTING QUITE A FEW IN THE REGION IN THE
RAINFALL DEPARTMENT. HOWEVER...THERE IS STILL LOTS OF ROOM FOR
UPWARD POP MOVEMENT IN THE NORTHEAST HALF OF ZONES WHERE
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY TIME FRAME LOOKING
LIKELY AT SOME POINT...ALTHOUGH TIMING IS VERY UNCERTAIN. /BB/

&&

.AVIATION...HUMID AIR MASS WILL HOLD VFR CONDITIONS IN TACT FOR MOST
LOCATIONS WITH SWLY SURFACE WINDS THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. BROKEN
CUMULUS BASED AT 5-7K FEET ALONG/E OF NATCHEZ TRACE AXIS SHOULD
CONTINUE THROUGH 01Z BEFORE THINNING OUT THIS EVENING. SCATTERED
SHRA/TSRA WILL BE INCREASING IN OUR SERN CWFA GRADUALLY SPREAD SWWD
THROUGH SUNSET TOWARD THE NATCHEZ AREA ALONG LOWER MS RIVER. A FEW
MVFR LIGHT FOG RESTRICTIONS MAY OCCUR EARLY SUNDAY FROM 10-13Z WITH
VFR QUICKLY RETURNING WITHIN AN HOUR AFTER SUNRISE. /40/
