AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1108 AM CDT TUE APR 3 2012

.DISCUSSION...SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE GRADUALLY BECOME A LITTLE MORE
NUMEROUS OVER HE FORECAST AREA THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS.  THIS IS
PARTICULARLY HAPPENING OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA WHERE
HEATING IS CURRENTLY BEST DUE TO LESS CLOUD COVER AND WHAT LOOKS TO
BE A WEAKENING OUTFLOW BOUNDARY...SEEN ON VISIBLE SATELLITE...IS
IMPEDING UPON THAT AREA AS IT RACES SOUTHEAST INTO THE REGION.  IN
ADDITION...THE KJAN 12Z RAOB INDICATES A BOUNDARY/SHEAR AXIS DRAPED
OVER THE CWA AROUND 550MB WHICH IS ALSO AIDING IN THE CONVECTION
THAT'S CURRENTLY DEVELOPING.

WITH ALL THIS SAID...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED OVER
THE FORECAST AREA ONCE AGAIN TODAY.  HOWEVER...YESTERDAY'S
CONVECTION APPEARS TO HAVE TAKEN SOME...BUT NOT ALL...PUNCH OUT OF
THE AIRMASS OVER THE REGION FOR TODAY.  STILL...WITH DAYTIME HEATING
THERE WILL BE SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY...COUPLED WITH ANY LEFTOVER
BOUNDARIES/SHEAR AXIS FROM YESTERDAY'S CONVECTION...AND COLDER
TEMPERATURES ALOFT...SOME STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS CAN'T BE RULED OUT
THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE DAY.  AS WAS THE CASE YESTERDAY...HAIL AND
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL BE THE PRIMARY CONCERNS WITH ANY STORMS
THAT DEVELOP TODAY.  OTHERWISE...LOOK FOR CONTINUED WARM AND HUMID
CONDITIONS AS HIGHS THIS AFTERNOON CLIMB INTO THE MIDDLE 80S.

THE CURRENT FORECAST APPEARS TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE FOR TODAY.  WILL
ADJUST POPS UP A BIT TO ACCOUNT FOR CURRENT RADAR TRENDS ALONG WITH
SKY COVER...AND AS USUAL THE HOURLY GRIDS TO BETTER FIT CURRENT
TRENDS IN THE OVERALL CONDITIONS OVER THE REGION. /19/

&&

.AVIATION...MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS ONGOING THIS MORNING. SOME MVFR
CEILINGS ONGOING IN THE EAST WHERE SOME MORNING LIGHT RAIN MOVING
THROUGH. ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING IN THE WEST
LIKELY IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN OUTFLOW FROM STORM COMPLEX MOVING
THROUGH ARKANSAS. AN INCREASE IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED
TODAY WITH PEAK HEATING. PINPOINTING ANY STORM AFFECTING A TAF SITE
WILL BE HARD. IF ONE DOES...EXPECT BRIEF MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS DUE
TO HEAVY DOWNPOURS. THERE COULD BE SOME WIND GUSTS AND HAIL WITH
THESE STORMS. CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE AFTER SUNSET. MVFR
CONDITIONS RETURN TONIGHT AS MOISTURE CONTINUES TO INCREASE OVER THE
REGION. /28/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 440 AM CDT TUE APR 3 2012/

AN ACTIVE BUT COMPLEX CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION WILL BE ON TAP OVER NEXT
48 HOURS. STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE BOTH THIS
AFTN AND THROUGH AN EXTENDED PERIOD ON WEDNESDAY AS AN UNSTABLE
ENVIRONMENT WILL PERSIST AHEAD OF A SLOWLY MOVING DRY LINE/COLD
FRONT.

THE FORECAST FOR TODAY REMAINS DIFFICULT AS HI-RES OUTPUT SOMEWHAT
CONFLICTS WITH GLOBAL/REGIONAL NWP OUTPUT. LATEST RUC/WV IMAGERY
DEPICTS DECAYING TSTORM COMPLEX ALONG THE LA COAST WITH H5 S/WV
TROUGH AXIS PULLING NRD INTO THE TN VALLEY. ALSO APPARENT ON WV/IR
CHANNELS ARE THE INCREASING ASCENT AND ROBUST LINEAR CONVECTIVE
COMPLEX ACROSS TX/OK. GLOBAL AND REGIONAL MODELS DEPICT S/WV RIDGING
TO BUILD IN THROUGH AFTN ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS AND WITH LACK OF ANY
APPARENT FORCING MECHANISM...IT WOULD APPEAR THAT TSTORM ACTIVITY
TODAY WILL BE MORE OF THE THERMO-DRIVEN PULSE VARIETY. HOWEVER...THE
SPC WRF/NMM/AND TO AN EXTENT ARW/ INDICATE THAT ANOTHER FORWARD
PROPAGATING/COLD POOL DRIVEN CONVECTIVE COMPLEX ORIGINATING FROM THE
CURRENT ACTIVITY IN TX WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE ARKLATEX AND IMPACT THE
ARKLAMISS LATE THIS AFTN/EVE. DESPITE THE HI-RES MODELS PERFORMING
WELL YESTERDAY...FEEL THAT WITH NO LARGE TO MESOSCALE FORCING
FEATURES...S/WV RIDGING BUILDING IN...LACK OF CONVERGENT/DIVERGENT
COUPLET...AND SFC-H5 RH FIELD INDICATIONS...MAKES THIS SOLUTION
DIFFICULT TO PLACE CONFIDENCE IN. IN ADDITION...CURRENT SFC
DEWPOINTS ARE RUNNING BEHIND NWP OUTPUT GIVEN SUCH BL OVERTURNING
FROM THE PREVIOUS STORM COMPLEX. ALTHOUGH MUCAPE VALUES OF 2.5-3K
J/KG THIS AFTN MAY BE SLIGHTLY OVERDONE...STEEP H7-H5 LAPSE RATES OF
7-8C CONTINUE TO PRESENT OVER REGION...ALLOWING FOR SOME STORMS TO
BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE WITH HAIL AND DMG WINDS BEING THE MAIN
RISKS. STRONG TO SEVERE STORM RISK WILL DIMINISH AS INSTABILITY
WANES POST SUNSET TONIGHT.

OUR ATTENTION WILL REALLY FOCUS ON WEDNESDAY AS AN EXTEND WINDOW FOR
AND A MORE POTENT ROUND OF SEVERE STORMS APPEARS TO EXIST. FLASH
FLOODING RISK ALSO APPEARS TO BE HEIGHTENED DURING THIS TIME-FRAME
ALSO. SYNOPTICALLY...THE PARENT H5 CUT-OFF LOW WILL SLOWLY PUSH
ACROSS THE SRN PLAINS...EFFECTIVELY INCREASING SYNOPTIC ASCENT OVERTOP
A MOISTENING AND HIGHLY UNSTABLE AIRMASS WITH INCREASING BULK SHEAR
VALUES AS DRY LINE APPROACHES THE REGION. AN ORGANIZED CLUSTER TO
QLCS COMPLEX LOOKS TO BE ONGOING EARLY WED MORNING NEAR ARKLAMISS
DELTA WITH COMPLEX EXPECTED TO PUSH THROUGH ENTIRE REGION WED
AFTN/NGT. ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER REMAIN POSSIBLE WITH DMG WINDS
AND LARGE HAIL BEING THE PRIMARY RISKS. HOWEVER...A TORNADO OR TWO
CAN NOT BE ENTIRELY RULED. ATTM...THE GFS IS THE QUICKEST OF NWP
WITH NAM TAKING THE MIDDLE AND EC TAKING THE SLOWER SOLUTION OF A
H7 DRY PUNCH THAT COULD REDUCE OVERALL CONVECTION BY LATE WED ACROSS
NRN 1/3RD. HOWEVER IF SLOWER SOLUTIONS PAN OUT...AN EXTENDED WINDOW
FOR STORMS FARTHER NORTH COULD PERSIST. FURTHERMORE...THE DRY LINE
APPEARS TO STALL ACROSS THE DELTA WED NGT UNDERNEATH CONTINUED
SYNOPTIC ASCENT...POSSIBLY ALLOWING FOR TRAINING OF SHOWERS/STORMS
ACROSS SRN 2/3RD OF THE AREA INTO THURS MORNING...ENHANCING THE
FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL. OVERALL CONVECTIVE STRENGTH SHOULD DECREASE
THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING. PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR THE LATEST UPDATES.
/ALLEN/

THURSDAY...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE LOOKING MORE PROBABLE
NOW FOR AREAS GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE I-55 CORRIDOR FOR
THURSDAY AS THE CLOSED UPPER LOW BEGINS TO OPEN UP AND MOVE ACROSS
THE ARKLAMISS. SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY COULD STILL BE RATHER
VIGOROUS DURING THE EARLY MORNING OVER SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA AS THE MOISTURE AXIS HANGS UP. THUNDERSTORMS WILL
REDEVELOP/INTENSIFY DURING THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON WITH
DAYTIME HEATING (MIXED LAYER CAPE ~1500 J/KG) AND FORCING ASSOCIATED
WITH A FEW VORTICITY LOBES ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW. GLOBAL
MODEL SOLUTIONS SUGGEST THAT LOW-MID LEVEL FLOW WILL BE LARGELY
VEERED AND SUPPORTIVE OF PROGRESSIVE ORGANIZED/BROKEN TSTM LINE
SEGMENTS AND DISCRETE CELLS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HAIL AND STRONG WIND
GUSTS --- INCREASING LCL HEIGHTS IN THE WELL-MIXED AIR MASS AND
VEERED PROFILES SHOULD LIMIT TORNADO POTENTIAL.

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT MONDAY...GLOBAL MODELS ARE IN EXCELLENT
AGREEMENT THAT THE MID LEVEL RIDGE WILL REBUILD OVER THE ARKLAMISS
BRINGING A RETURN TO DRY CONDITIONS AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AS
WE GO INTO THE WEEKEND. MODELS DIVERGE THEREAFTER WITH THE GFS/GEFS A
BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE BRINGING THE NEXT BOUNDARY INTO THE FORECAST
AREA. HAVE SLOWED DOWN INTRODUCTION OF RAIN CHANCES UNTIL SUNDAY
GIVEN THE EXPECTED PRESENCE OF THE RIDGE WHICH WILL LIKELY SLOW THE
FRONTAL PROGRESSION.

THERE MAY BE A CHANGE IN THE PATTERN NEXT WEEK WITH MODELS SHOWING
SIGNALS FOR RETROGRESSION OF THE MEAN RIDGE POSITION AND DEVELOPMENT
OF A STRONG EASTERN CONUS TROUGH. THIS WOULD INDUCE COOL NORTHWEST
FLOW OVER THE ARKLAMISS AND A PERIOD OF COOL WEATHER AND BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES. /EC/

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI...
NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THERE WILL BE A RISK FOR A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. THE AIR MASS WILL REMAIN MOIST
AND UNSTABLE ENOUGH FOR AFTERNOON HEATING TO PRODUCE A FEW STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS...THE PRIMARY RISK BEING DAMAGING WINDS AROUND 60 MPH
AND QUARTER SIZE HAIL.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE LIKELY DURING A PROLONGED PERIOD
WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH EVENING ACROSS THE ENTIRE OUTLOOK AREA.
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS ABOVE 60 MPH AND LARGE HAIL TO GOLF BALL SIZE
WILL BE POSSIBLE. TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. IN ADDITION...THE
FLASH FLOODING POTENTIAL WILL INCREASE AS TRAINING OF SHOWERS/STORMS
COULD OCCUR. THIS ROUND OF SEVERE STORMS SHOULD DIMINISH THROUGH
EARLY MORNING HOURS THURSDAY.

THERE WILL BE A RISK FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO REDEVELOP
THURSDAY DURING THE DAY...PRIMARILY EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 55
CORRIDOR. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL COMBINE WITH DAYTIME
HEATING AND AN UNSTABLE AIRMASS TO BRING ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY. IT APPEARS THE PRIMARY RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE STRONGEST
STORMS WILL BE FOR HAIL TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS AND WIND GUSTS OF 40
TO 50 MPH. STORMS WILL END OVER THE ENTIRE OUTLOOK AREA BY THURSDAY
EVENING.

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