AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
903 PM CDT FRI APR 20 2012

.DISCUSSION...WE ARE DEALING WITH A COMPLEX WEATHER SITUATION THIS
EVENING AS AN UPPER TROUGH DIGS ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH. AT THE
SURFACE...A COLD FRONT NOW EXTENDS FROM NEAR TUP TO TVR TO JUST EAST
OF AEX. BEHIND THE FRONT...A COMPLEX OF SHOWERS AND SOME TSTORMS
EXTENDS ACROSS WESTERN TN...NW MS...SE AR...AND MUCH OF WESTERN AND
CENTRAL LA. JUST A FEW HOURS AGO...THERE WAS A MUCH BETTER ORGANIZED
MCS MOVING EASTWARD ACROSS THE TX/LA BORDER...HOWEVER THIS ACTIVITY
HAS RAPIDLY WEAKENED OVER THE PAST HOUR. AS THE UPPER TROUGH
CONTINUES TO DEEPEN INTO THE NORTHERN GULF...AN UPPER LOW WILL CUT
OFF AND SFC CYCLOGENESIS IS EXPECTED ENSUE OFFSHORE...SHIFTING THE
GREATER FOCUS OF CONVECTION IN THAT DIRECTION. HOWEVER...EXISTING
SHOWER AND TSTORM ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ITS WAY INTO THE
AREA BEHIND THE FRONT THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. THE BEST CHANCE
FOR RAIN WILL BE OVER CENTRAL AND ESPECIALLY WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE
AREA. THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW MUCH RAIN WILL
GET INTO EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA. THERE IS AN INCREASING CHANCE
THAT SOME AREAS ALONG THE I-59 CORRIDOR WILL SEE LITTLE TO NO
PRECIPITATION WITH THIS SYSTEM.

HAVE UPDATED THE OVERNIGHT FORECAST TO DELAY THE ONSET OF PRECIP BY
A FEW HOURS AND TO DECREASE POPS MAINLY OVER EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE
FORECAST AREA. OTHERWISE MOS GUIDE IS PREDICTABLY DOING A POOR JOB
WITH HOURLY TEMP AND DEWPOINTS TONIGHT...WITH A FRONT IN THE AREA.
ADJUSTED GRIDS USING THE RAW NAM AND RUC OUTPUT...WHICH SEEMED TO BE
MORE REALISTIC AND PERFORMING BETTER AT THIS TIME. NO OTHER MAJOR
ADJUSTMENTS WILL BE MADE. UPDATES ARE BEING SENT AT THIS TIME. AN
UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION AND PERTINENT PORTIONS OF THE PREVIOUS
DISCUSSION FOLLOW BELOW. /DL/

&&

.AVIATION...CONCERNS WILL REVOLVE AROUND A COLD FRONT
THAT WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THE REST OF TONIGHT
THROUGH EARLY SATURDAY. CLOUDS/SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
ACCOMPANYING THE FRONT WILL BRING MVFR CONDITIONS WITH OCCASIONAL
IFR CONDITIONS IN ASSOCIATION WITH ANY STORMS. THE BEST CHANCE FOR
GETTING STORMS WILL BE AT GLH/GWO/HKS/JAN/..BUT EXPECT DRIER AIR TO
KEEP A MORE STABLE AIRMASS AS YOU GO FARTHER EAST AND NORTH THUS
LIMITING TSTM AND OVERALL RAIN POTENTIAL. EXPECT RAINFALL CHANCES TO
DECREASE RAPIDLY SATURDAY MORNING FROM WEST TO EAST...BUT A BLANKET
OF MVFR CATEGORY STRATUS CLOUDS MAY LINGER INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON
AT MOST SITES (ASIDE FROM PERHAPS GLH). VFR CONDITIONS WILL DEVELOP
AS WE GO INTO SATURDAY EVENING...WITH VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO
PREVAIL FOR SUNDAY. /BB/EC/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED AT 251 PM CDT FRI APR 20 2012/
SHORT TERM...THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...BEST ASCENT WILL MOVE TO THE
SOUTH AND EAST WITH THE MID/UPPER LEVEL ENERGY SATURDAY WITH
COOLER/DRIER AIR MOVING IN SATURDAY. A FEW LEFT OVER SHOWERS MAINLY
IN THE MORNING WILL GIVE WAY TO DECREASING CLOUDS...ESPECIALLY IN
THE WEST BY THE AFTERNOON. DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW PRESSURE IN THE
NORTHERN GULF WILL ALLOW PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE CWA TO TIGHTEN
RESULTING IN GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS UP TO 25 KNOTS POSSIBLE AT TIMES.
GRADIENT LOOKS TO RELAX AFTER SUNSET AS THE LOW QUICKLY MOVES EAST.
SUNDAY LOOKS DRY AND COOL./GRG/

LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...A QUIET LONG TERM PERIOD
EXPECTED WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES SUN-TUES WITH PASSAGE OF DRY
RE-ENFORCING COLD FRONT. A WARMING TREND IS EXPECTED INTO THE LATE
WEEK WITH SLIGHT INCREASE IN RAIN CHANCES.

A DEEPLY AMPLIFIED ERN CONUS TROUGH/WRN CONUS RIDGE PATTERN WILL BE
IN PLACE MON-TUES. A STRONG RE-ENFORCING COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP
THROUGH EARLY MONDAY MORNING...PIVOTING A NORTH TO SOUTH GRADIENT OF
0-4C 850MB TEMPS ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS BY THE AFTN. DESPITE THE FULL
SUNSHINE EXPECTED...SFC TEMPS ROUGHLY 10 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE MON
AFTN ARE PROBABLE WITH READINGS IN THE MID 60S TO NEAR 70. HAVE CUT
A COUPLE OF DEGREES FROM MEXMOS AND TRENDED CLOSER TO EC MOS OUTPUT.

THE ARKLAMISS WILL CONTINUE TO BE UNDER DRY...SUNNY...AND DEEP NW
FLOW TUES AS PATTERN SLOWLY TRANSITIONS BY MID TO LATE WEEK. JUST
HOW QUICK THE TRANSITION WILL OCCUR IS THE QUESTION. THROUGH
WED-FRI...MODELS DIVERGE WITH OPS GFS MORE PROGRESSIVE ON BUILDING
IN H5 RIDGING OVER PLAINS/SE WHILE EC IS SLOWER AND INDICATES
CONTINUED BUT FLATTER NW FLOW REGIME WED BEFORE SOME SLIGHT
RE-AMPLIFICATION OF THE ERN TROUGH THURSDAY. THE GEM/GENS AND
INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS SUGGEST A SLOWER PROGRESSION OF THE RIDGE
BUILDING THAN THE OPS GFS GIVEN POTENTIAL RIDGING STRENGTH AND
ENHANCED BLOCKING. HAVE THUS GONE WITH AN EC/GENS BLEND. EC ENSEMBLE
MEAN FURTHER SUPPORTS STRONGER BLOCKING AND SLOWER MIGRATION OF
RIDGE THROUGH THURS-FRI ACROSS CNTRL CONUS. WITH THAT STATED...SFC
DEWPOINTS SHOULD BEGIN TO RECOVER THU/FRI HAS SFC HIGH SHIFTS FROM
NRN GOM TO SUB-TROPIC ATLANTIC. BY THU...DIURNAL SHOWERS/TSTORMS
LOOK TO BE POSSIBLE AS INSTABILITY INCREASES. WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN
EYE ON ANY POSSIBLE SE DIVING COMPLEX FROM THE MID-MS VALLEY
WED-FRIDAY IF STRONGER BLOCKING OCCURS. HAVE PLACED SOME SLIGHT
CHANCE WEATHER WORDING IN FOR THURS AND FRI AFTN AS HIGH TEMPS
RECOVER INTO THE U70S/L80S. /ALLEN/
