AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1100 PM CDT WED MAY 25 2011

.UPDATE...GREATEST THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
ALONG THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR AND EAST OF INTERSTATE 55 THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT...HOWEVER THERE WILL REMAIN THE POTENTIAL FOR
A SEVERE STORM OR TWO TO DEVELOP OVER THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
PORTIONS AS THE BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO PUSH SOUTHEAST. UPDATE WAS
MADE TO INCLUDE LATEST TORNADO WATCH IN EFFECT UNTIL 4AM FOR MUCH OF
THE CWA. /22/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 930 PM CDT WED MAY 25 2011/

UPDATE...NEARLY STACKED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WAS NOTED OVER MISSOURI
WITH A CURVED INTENSE LINE OF CONVECTION STRETCHING UP FROM EAST
TEXAS ACROSS OUR DELTA REGION AND UP INTO INDIANA. THIS LINE IS
STILL EXPECTED TO SLOWLY SHIFT EAST THROUGH THE NIGHT AHEAD OF A
COLD FRONT THAT SHOULD MOVE INTO THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA BY
MORNING. THE JAN 00Z THU SOUNDING SHOWED A FAIRLY STOUT CAP STILL
THAT WILL TAKE THE LINE TO OVERCOME LATER TONIGHT. GREATEST RISK FOR
SEVERE STORMS IS STILL EXPECTED ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
CWA...ALONG THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR. THE SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE
CWA SHOULD SEE LITTLE ACTIVITY UNTIL CLOSER TO MORNING. HAVE UPDATED
FORECAST EARLIER TO ALLOW THE WIND ADVISORY TO EXPIRE AND ACCOUNT
FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT TRENDS. /22/

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 353 PM CDT WED MAY 25 2011/

.SEVERE STORMS BUILDING TOWARD THE DELTA REGION...SPREADING E
TNGT...

DISCUSSION...SHORT TERM(TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT) WINDY DAY
CONTINUES ACROSS THE REGION WITH PEAK SLY GUSTS TO AROUND 40MPH IN
OUR DELTA COUNTIES. THESE SHOULD GRADUALLY SUBSIDE TO LESS THAN 30MPH
AFTER 01Z AND ADVY SHOULD EXPIRE ON SCHEDULE. A POWERFUL VERTICALLY-
STACKED LOW(996MB) CENTER MOVING STEADILY EWD THROUGH CENTRAL MO EWD
AT 25 MPH ALONG THE I-70 CORRIDOR. THE TRAILING COLD FRONT
ACCELERATING THROUGH A KHRO-KTXK-KTYR LINE AND SHOULD SWEEP ACROSS
CENTRAL AR AND NW LA AS SEVERE STORMS ERUPT THROUGH SUNSET. WARM
DRY MID LEVEL CAP IN PLACE ACROSS THE LOWER MS VALLEY IS EXPECTED TO
ERODE FROM N TO S EARLY THIS EVENING. SEVERE PARAMETERS REMAIN ON
TRACK SIMILAR TO RECENT RUNS AS 60-70KT 500MB SPEED MAX CROSSES NRN
MS BY 06Z. HRR/RUC/NAM12 SOLUTIONS DEVELOP SCATTERED TSRA ALONG A
CLEVELAND-CROSSETT LINE BY 6PM AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND THESE
INTENSIFY EVEN MORE BY THE TIME THEY REACH THE GREENWOOD-LAKE
PROVIDENCE-DELHI AREAS 7-10PM. EVENTUALLY...AS THE FRONT CATCHES UP
TO THESE CELLS 9P-MIDN...THEY EVOLVE INTO A SQUALL LINE NEAR A
GRENADA-LEXINGTON-YAZOO CITY LINE AND THEN SWEEP EWD THROUGH OUR
GOLDEN TRIANGLE OF NERN MS BY 2-4AM. SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA CONTINUE
FARTHER SWWD FROM THE LINE THROUGH NERN LA AND W CENTRAL MS 10PM-3AM
AND THEN FINALLY PUSH THROUGH E CENTRAL MS 2AM-6AM.

SPC HOLDING MODERATE RISK ACROSS OUR HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR...
ESPECIALLY FOR DAMAGING WINDS LATER IN THE EVENING. PLEASE NOTE:
THE SRN EXTENT OF THE MAIN CONVECTIVE LINE STILL A BIT UNCERTAIN AS
WARM DOME ALOFT(11-12C AT 700MB) APPEARS TO PERSIST ALONG THE
HIGHWAY 84 CORRIDOR TO LIMIT COVERAGE IN THOSE AREAS. STILL NEED TO
MONITOR CLOSELY THE I-20 AXIS AS WEAKENING SHEAR/INSTABILITY VALUES
LATER TONIGHT SHOULD KEEP BEST SEVERE RISK TO THE N.

THE FRONTAL ZONE EXPECTED TO BEGIN SLOWING DOWN OVER SERN MS THURSDAY
MORNING AS THE MONSTER LOW PULLS AWAY TO THE GREAT LAKES REGION.
DEPENDING ON WHETHER THE BOUNDARY SLOWS ENOUGH FOR ENOUGH HEATING AT
MIDDAY...SCATTERED STRONG STORMS COULD AGAIN FIRE IN THE I-59
CORRIDOR BEFORE COMPLETELY DEPARTING OUR CWFA EARLY THURSDAY
EVENING. THEN...DRIER AIR WILL TAKE OVER FROM W TO E THURSDAY NIGHT
WITH SOME SLIGHTLY COOLER NIGHTS BUT AFTERNOON TEMPS WILL NOT BE
THAT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. BLEND OF MAV/MET MOS
ACCEPTED./40/

PREV LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY....THE UPPER TROUGH WILL
SHIFT TO THE EAST OF THE AREA BY FRIDAY AND HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING AT
THE SURFACE AND ALOFT WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA. THIS PATTERN WILL
CHANGE VERY LITTLE THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. BY
TUESDAY THE GFS BUILDS THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE ARKLAMISS WITH AN
H594 HIGH CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHEAST. MID WEEK SHOULD BRING SOME OF
THE HOTTEST TEMPS SO FAR THIS YEAR WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 90S. STUCK
CLOSE TO GUIDANCE TEMPS THROUGH THE WEEKEND...BUT DID RAISE AFTERNOON
HIGHS ABOVE MEX GUIDANCE ON TUE/WED./15/
