AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
333 PM CST THU JAN 26 2012

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...A COLD FRONT IS
CURRENTLY PUSHING INTO EASTERN MS WITH A FEW SHOWERS ALONG AND AHEAD
OF THE FRONT. AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION
THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS EAST MISSISSIPPI...BUT NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING
STRONG OR SEVERE. THE PRECIP WILL BE ENDING TONIGHT AS DRY AIR
CONTINUES TO FILTER IN BEHIND THE FRONT. SKIES WILL BE CLEARING OUT
TONIGHT WITH COOLER TEMPS SETTLING IN. LOWS TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM
THE LOWER 40S IN THE SOUTHEAST...TO THE MID 30S ACROSS THE NORTHWEST.
FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT IS LOOKING TRANQUIL AND CLOSER TO SEASONAL
AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES GO. PLENTY OF SUNSHINE DURING THE DAY FRIDAY
SHOULD GET HIGHS CLOSE TO...OR A LITTLE ABOVE...60 DEGREES WITH LOWS
FRIDAY NIGHT DROPPING TO THE MID 30S TO AROUND 40.

A SOMEWHAT STRONGER...YET DRY...COLD FRONT WILL BE COMING INTO
NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE AREA BEFORE THE BREAK OF DAY SATURDAY.
WINDS COULD BE GUSTY ON SATURDAY...ESPECIALLY ON THE LAKES AS THIS
FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. HIGHS ON SATURDAY WILL RANGE FROM
AROUND 50 NORTH TO THE LOWER 60S SOUTH. LOWS SATURDAY NIGHT WILL
RANGE FROM THE MID 20S NORTH TO THE LOWER 30S SOUTH. MAINLY STUCK
WITH THE SLIGHTLY COOLER MOS GUIDANCE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY
MORNING AS DECENT COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL BE TAKING PLACE BEHIND THE
FRONT. AS FOR POPS...CUT THOSE BACK SOME AS PRECIP IS NOT EXPECTED
WITH THE NEXT COLD FRONT. /27/

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY...BEHIND A WEAK AND DRY COLD
FRONT...PLEASANT AND COOLER DRIER CONDITIONS WILL EXIST ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES INTO THE
REGION FROM THE WEST NORTHWEST. HIGHS ON SUNDAY WILL ONLY WARM UP TO
AROUND 60. MEANWHILE...LOWS SUNDAY NIGHTS RANGE FROM THE UPPER 20S TO
MID 30S.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL QUICKLY SHIFT EAST OF THE REGION MONDAY CAUSING
SOUTHERLY FLOW TO SET BACK UP OVER THE CWA.  THIS WILL CAUSE
MOISTURE TO INCREASE THUS CONDITIONS TO WARM THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF
THE WORK WEEK.  ANOTHER COLD FRONT IS POISED TO SLOWLY PUSH INTO AND
THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT.  DECENT
RAIN CHANCES LOOK TO EXIST AREAWIDE DURING THIS TIME. THE GFS WANTS
TO PUSH THE FRONT TO THE COAST...WHILE THE EUROPEAN LOOKS TO NEVER
REALLY BRING THE FRONT THROUGH THE CWA AND BREAKS SHOWERS BACK OUT
ACROSS US ON THURSDAY WHILE THE GFS REMAINS DRY.  SINCE THIS IS AT
THE LATTER END OF THE EXTENDED AND SOLUTIONS WILL LIKELY VARY OVER
THE NEXT FEW MODEL RUNS...I WON'T STRAY TOO FAR FROM GUIDANCE DURING
THIS PERIOD FOR THE TIME BEING. /19/

&&

.AVIATION...A COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH EAST OF THE TAF SITES
THIS EVENING. IFR TO MVFR CIGS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING
HOURS...THEN VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ON SATURDAY AS BKN STRATUS
CLOUDS WILL MIX OUT BEFORE DAYBREAK. BEHIND THE FRONT...LIGHT
WESTERLY TO NORTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.
