AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1143 AM CDT THU JUN 16 2011

.UPDATE...THE BOUNDARY WAS DRAPED ACROSS THE CENTER OF THE CWA.
SOUTHERLY WINDS WERE BRINGING PLENTY OF MOISTURE INTO THE
AREA...ESPECIALLY THE WEST WHERE DEWPOINTS WERE NEARLY 75. PW VALUES
FROM THIS MORNING WERE AROUND 1.75 INCHES. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
WERE ALSO GOOD AGAIN TODAY. MODELS SUGGESTED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
WOULD START EARLY TODAY...BUT THINGS HAVE BEEN SLOW AGAIN TODAY.
LOOKS LIKE ACTIVITY IS STARTING IN THE EAST/SOUTHEAST...SO MAY SEE
SOME BACKBUILDING INTO THE AREA OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. POPS ACROSS
THE CWA WERE AROUND 20 PERCENT...WHICH IS GOOD FOR NOW. LOOKING FOR
ISOLATED ACTIVITY AT BEST. WITH GOOD LAPSE RATES AND THE POTENTIAL
FOR WET MICROBURST TODAY...WILL MAINTAIN STRONG TO SEVERE
WORDING...MAY HAVE TO EXPAND THE AREA.

KEEPING A CLOSE WATCH ON THE MCS MOVING THROUGH ARKANSAS ALSO. STILL
CONCERNED ABOUT OUTFLOW MOVING SOUTHEAST INTO THE DELTA REGION THIS
AFTERNOON. WHILE THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW WEAK BOUNDARIES
SPAWNED...NONE LOOK STRONG ENOUGH AT THIS TIME TO REACH THE CWA.

THE TEMPS WERE GOOD...MADE SOME SMALL TWEAKS TO THE HOURLY VALUES.
THE ZONES/STATE ARE ALREADY OUT.

&&

.AVIATION...ISOLATED TSTMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE
AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AT ANY LOCATION THE BEST
CHANCE FOR STORMS WILL OCCUR N OF A LINE FROM GLH-JAN-HBG. SOME
STORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. HAIL WILL
ALSO BE POSSIBLE. TSTMS WILL DIMINISH THIS EVENING AND END BY 10 PM.
VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. &&
