AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1121 AM CDT MON APR 2 2012

.UPDATE...SOME CHANGES NEEDED WITH THIS UPDATE MAINLY TO INCREASE
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS TODAY. CURRENT RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS LINE
OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS LOCATED ACROSS SOUTHEAST TEXAS AND
SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN MCV. AS THIS LINE
CONTINUES TO PUSH NORTH AND EAST AROUND THE BASE OF A SHORTWAVE
TROUGH...IT SHOULD ENCOUNTER EVEN MORE FAVORABLE INGREDIENTS TO
SUSTAIN ITSELF. CURRENT ANALYSIS INDICATES SFC CAPE OF AROUND
3000-4000 J/KG IN OUR SOUTHWESTERN ZONES AND THIS SHOULD ONLY GET
BETTER WITH DAYTIME HEATING. SFC LI VALUES ARE SHOWN TO BE -9 TO -11
AND VERTICAL TOTALS AROUND 30C WILL BE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO PRODUCE
SOME LARGE HAIL POTENTIAL UP TO GOLFBALL SIZE. WHILE LARGE HAIL WILL
BE POSSIBLE...GIVEN HOW CONGEALED THIS LINE IS WITH SUCH A BOWING
APPEARANCE...DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN. RECENT HRRR
RUNS INDICATE POTENTIAL FOR WIND GUSTS OF 55 TO 60 KTS IN SOME
LOCATIONS. GIVEN THIS...HAVE UPDATED GRAPHICS/HWO TO REFLECT LATEST
TRENDS. EXPECT BEST TIMING FOR THIS WOULD BE FROM
ABOUT 1PM-5PM IN WESTERNMOST ZONES...AND 3PM-7PM FOR LOCATIONS
GENERALLY AROUND I-55 AND WEST OF THE MS RIVER. FURTHER EAST OF
I-55...CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH AS TO HOW ORGANIZED THIS MIGHT BE AS IT
GETS THAT FAR EAST.

AS PER THE GRIDS...HAVE INCREASED POPS AND WEATHER IN THE
SOUTHWEST SIGNIFICANTLY TO ACCOUNT FOR APPROACHING MCS AND TRENDED
THIS DOWN ACROSS THE CWA. INCLUDED SEVERE WORDING AS WELL FOR
LOCATIONS WEST OF I-55 WITH POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS. MADE SOME
OTHER MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCOUNT FOR LATEST OBS AND TRENDS. UPDATED
PRODUCTS AND GRAPHICS ALREADY OUT. /28/

&&
.AVIATION...AREAS OF BKN MVFR CIGS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH NOON WITH
CLOUDS LIFTING TO SCT 2-4K FT DECKS DURING THE EARLY AFTN. THESE
CONDITIONS WILL BE BRIEF OVER SWRN ZONES AS A POTENT BAND OF TSTMS
MOVES IN JUST AFTER NOON. WIDESPREAD BKN-OVC MVFR DECKS WILL
SPREAD INTO THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON WITH LOCAL IFR CIGS/VSBYS
IN STRONGER STORMS. THUNDERSTORMS TODAY WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS OF 70 MPH OR HIGHER AND LARGE HAIL QUARTER TO
GOLF BALL SIZE HAIL. THE RISK OF RAIN AND TSTMS WILL DECREASE OVER
WRN ZONES LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA
DURING THE EVENING. SCT VFR CONDITIONS WILL RETURN TO MOST AREAS BY
LATE EVENING. AREAS OF MVFR/IFR STRATUS/FOG WILL REDEVELOP AGAIN
LATE TONIGHT/EARLY TUE MORNING. /03/

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 430 AM CDT MON APR 2 2012/

DISCUSSION...

TODAY THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY

FOCUS ON THE NEXT 48 HOURS WILL CENTER ON TODAY'S STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL FOLLOWED BY THE POSSIBLE CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION
ON TUESDAY AHEAD OF A CONTINUED ACTIVE PATTERN ON WEDNESDAY.

RUC/WV IMAGERY CLEARLY DEPICTS A VORT MAX AND ASSOCIATED S/WV TROUGH
ACROSS SE TX THIS MORNING. THIS FEATURE AND FAVORABLE THERMO
ENVIRONMENT WILL BE KEY ON THE INCREASING CHANCE OF SOME STRONG TO
SEVERE TSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON MAINLY ALONG AND WEST OF BROOKHAVEN MS
TO GREENVILLE MS LINE WITH GREATEST RISK ACROSS NE LA/SE AR. HAIL TO
THE SIZE OF GOLFBALLS AND DMG WINDS ARE THE MAIN RISKS WITH THE
STRONGEST OF STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP.

THE NEGATIVELY TILTED S/WV TROUGH IN TX IS PROGGED TO SWING ACROSS
THE SABINE AND LOWER MS-RIVER VALLEYS THROUGH THIS AFTN...
EFFECTIVELY INCREASING PWATS...MID-LVL ASCENT AND BULK SHEAR VALUES.
A PLUME OF UPPER 60 TO NEAR 70 SFC DEWPOINTS ALONG WITH DEEPER
MOISTURE WILL BE PULLED NEWD ACROSS SW AREAS THROUGH THIS AFTN. THIS
DEEPER MOISTURE AND THUS MORE UNSTABLE PLUME WILL BE THE FAVORABLE
AREA FOR THE STRONGEST OF STORMS TO DEVELOP. HIGH INSTABILITY
/2.5-3.5 J/KG MUCAPE/ UNDER STEEP H7-H5 LAPSE RATES /7-7.5 C/ WITH
VT'S IN THE LOWER 30'S WILL BE SUPPORTIVE OF ROBUST UPDRAFTS. SPC
HAS FAR WESTERN AREAS LOCATED IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER
WHICH IS FURTHER SUPPORTED BY LATEST HI-RES MODEL RUNS. THE LATEST
HI-RES SPC WRF RUN INITIALIZES WELL WITH TSTORM COMPLEX CURRENTLY
ONGOING ACROSS S-CNTRL TX AND INITIATES ROBUST CONVECTION ACROSS SW
MS/NE LA THIS AFTN-ERLY EVE. ALTHOUGH NOT AS ROBUST...THE NMM/ARW DO
INITIATE ACTIVITY ACROSS NE LA/SW MS IN THE SAME TEMPORAL
WINDOW....FURTHER INCREASING CONFIDENCE. WITH BETTER MID-LVL
SUPPORT...SHOWER/TSTORM ACTIVITY COULD LAST INTO THE EVENING HOURS
BUT WANE BY MIDNIGHT AS S/WV DEPARTS INTO THE TN VALLEY.

THE WEATHER FOR TUESDAY REMAINS A DIFFICULT FORECAST. SPC WRF ALONG
WITH EC SHOW DECENT TSTORM COMPLEX ALONG THE COAST EARLY TUESDAY
WITH NUMEROUS NWP SHOWING S/WV RIDGING ACROSS THE LOWER-MS VALLEY
DURING THE AFTN. NORMALLY...THESE FEATURES WOULD AID IN OVERALL
REDUCTION OF ACTIVITY ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS. HOWEVER...WITH CONTINUED
HIGH INSTABILITY /2.5-4 K/JG MUCAPE/ EXPECTED AGAIN TUESDAY AS NEAR
70 DEWPOINTS INFILTRATE ACROSS WRN AREAS AND WITH STEEP LAPSE RATES
STILL IN PLACE...IT FEELS PRUDENT TO GO WITH CONSENSUS WITH THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS/TSTORMS. WITH WEAKER FLOW/SHEAR...STORMS WILL
BE MORE OF THE PULSE VARIETY BUT COULD BECOME STRONG/SEVERE GIVEN
SUCH UNSTABLE CONDITIONS. SHOWER/TSTORM ACTIVITY COULD FESTER
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WED MORNING AS ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE AIDS IN
OVERALL UVV AHEAD OF THE MAIN DRY-LINE BOUNDARY.

CONCERNING OTHER FORECAST ELEMENTS...STRATUS DECK AND SOME FOG
BUILDING IN THIS MORNING ACROSS SRN/CNTRL AREAS. THIS TREND IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH 8-9AM UNTIL STRONG MIXING BEGINS AND
AREAS CLEAR THROUGH 11AM. FOR POPS...INCREASED VALUES 10-15% OVER
GUIDANCE THIS AFTN AND WENT WITH GUIDANCE THROUGH FIRST 6HRS OF
OVERNIGHT GIVEN LINGER PRECIP POSSIBILITIES. FOR TUE...ACCEPTED
MAVMOS POPS WITH SLIGHT REDUCTION IN HIGH TEMPS GIVEN POSSIBLE
GREATER CLOUD COVER. /ALLEN/

WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...

MODEL SOLUTIONS AND HISTORICAL ANALOGS CONTINUE TO TARGET THIS
PERIOD FOR THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER RISK ASSOCIATED WITH
APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH. ON THE SYNOPTIC SCALE...MODERATE MID LEVEL
FORCING/DRY LINE WILL INTERACT WITH A MOIST (DEWPOINT TEMPS > 65F,
PRECIPITABLE WATER > 1.5 INCHES) AND UNSTABLE (MIXED LAYER CAPE >
2000 J/KG) TO BRING THUNDERSTORMS. LOW LEVEL AND DEEP LAYER WIND
SHEAR IS FORECAST TO BE MARGINAL FOR ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
AND SEVERE WEATHER...BUT THE SUBSTANTIAL COMBINATION OF LIFT AND
INSTABILITY WOULD SUPPORT SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND WILL KEEP MENTION
OF THIS RISK IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK AND GRAPHICS. AS
INDICATED IN THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...THIS EVENT IS STILL BEST
DESCRIBED IN GENERAL TERMS AND BELIEVE THAT MESOSCALE PROCESSES WILL
END UP HAVING MUCH TO SAY ABOUT HOW CONVECTION PLAYS OUT ULTIMATELY.
IN ANY CASE...THE BEST LIFT SHOULD MOVE EAST OF THE AREA PRIOR TO
DAYBREAK THURSDAY BRINGING AN END TO MOST THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.

BEYOND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...

DEPENDING ON THE TRACK OF THE MID LEVEL LOW...THERE COULD BE ENOUGH
INSTABILITY THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT TO GET REDEVELOPMENT OF
MOSTLY DIURNAL SHOWER/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...PARTICULARLY
OVER NE PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. OTHERWISE...IN THE WAKE OF
THE DEPARTING LOW...EXPECT THE STUBBORN MID LEVEL RIDGE TO REBUILD
OVER THE FORECAST AREA AS WE GO INTO NEXT WEEKEND RESULTING IN MORE
WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS. /EC/

NUMEROUS SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE WESTERN TWO
THIRDS OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. A LINE OF STORMS IS BECOMING
BETTER ORGANIZED OVER SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA AND IS EXPECTED TO
INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES GENERALLY NORTHEAST INTO THE AFTERNOON.
DAMAGING WINDS OF 60 TO 75 MPH SEEMS TO BE THE PRIMARY RISK ALONG

CONCERNING SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL FOR THIS WEEK.

.SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...
THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...HAM RADIO OPERATORS...AND
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL IN SUPPORT OF SEVERE WEATHER
OPERATIONS WILL BE NEEDED TODAY AND LIKELY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY.
