AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
703 PM CDT MON JUN 4 2012

...STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE FROM LATE EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY
AS FRONTAL BOUNDARY DROPS INTO THE REGION...

.UPDATE...COMPACT MCV DRIVING A SMALL BAND OF TSRA IS DROPPING OUT OF
SE AR AND INTO THE NW PORTION OF THE CWA HERE AT 00Z. ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS ARE UNSTABLE WITH STEEP LAPSE RATES IN PLACE AND MLCAPE
VALUES BETWEEN 1500-2500 J/KG. ENHANCE LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE MCV
WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING AS IT MOVES INTO THE CWA. AHEAD OF
THIS FEATURE...THE ATMS REMAINS CAPPED WITH SOME OK MOISTURE THROUGH
A DEEP LAYER. THE KEY IS THAT THIS MCV IS CAUSING THE ATMS JUST IN
ADVANCE OF THE SYSTEM TO MOISTEN QUITE A BIT THROUGH INCREASING THE
LOW LEVEL AND DEEP LAYER CONVERGENCE. MODELS PROG THIS TO STEADILY
INCREASE THROUGH THE NIGHT PERIOD AND IT APPEARS THIS COMPLEX WILL
GROW AND COVER A GOOD PORTION OF THE AREA THROUGH THE NIGHT PERIOD.
DUE TO THIS...POPS WERE INCREASED OVER NW AREAS AND SOME PORTIONS OF
CENTRAL.

AS FOR HAZARDS...THE LATEST TRENDS HAVE REALLY ONLY SHOW SIGNALS FOR
A FEW STRONG STORMS WITH SMALL HAIL AND 40-50 MPH WINDS. BASED OFF
THESE TRENDS...LOOK FOR MORE OF THE SAME WITH A COUPLE SEVERE CELLS
MIXED IN DURING THE EVENING. IF A MORE ROBUST COLD POOL GETS
GOING...AND IT VERY WELL MAY...THEN MORE OF A SEVERE WIND RISK MAY
DEVELOP AND WE MAY NEED A SEVERE TS WATCH. THE NEXT 1-2 HRS WILL BE
THE TELL. LASTLY...LOW LEVEL PROPAGATION VECTORS INDICATE THAT
BACK BUILDING OF STORMS COULD BECOME MORE FAVORABLE LATER THIS EVE
INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. THIS COULD POSE A HEAVY RAIN/FLOODING
RISK AND WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT POTENTIAL.

ALL ELSE IS ON TRACK AND WILL UPDATE PRODUCTS AS NEEDED.

&&

.AVIATION...MAIN ISSUE THIS EVE WILL BE TIMING THE COMPLEX AS IT
MOVES SE/E. FOR NOW...WILL HIT GLH WITH A PERIOD OF IFR AND STICK
WITH MVFR AT OTHER SITES AND TIME IN/OUT THE WORSE CONDITIONS AS THEY
BECOME MORE IMMINENT. LASTLY...THERE COULD BE SOME IFR CEILINGS AT
HBG BETWEEN 10-13Z AND HAVE ADDED THAT TO THE TAF. /CME/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 412 PM CDT MON JUN 4 2012/

DISCUSSION...SHORT TERM(TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY) UPSTREAM MCV/MID
LEVEL TROUGH GENERATING NEW ROUND OF TSRA IN CENTRAL AR AND MOVING
SEWD. THIS ACTIVITY PROGGED TO MOVE INTO SERN AR AND OUR DELTA THIS
EVENING AND TRACK ALONG THE HIGHWAY 49 CORRIDOR INTO SERN MS EARLY
TUESDAY. AN AXIS OF MINUS 3 SHOWALTERS AND 2K+J/KG MLCAPES FROM THE
UPPER DELTA TO E CENTRAL MS SHOULD SUPPORT THE STORMS AS DEPICTED BY
LOCAL WRF/RAP13. MAIN AXIS SHOULD BE ROUGHLY A KMEI-KGLH LINE THEN
SAGGING SWD INTO THE I-20 CORRIDOR AFTER MIDNIGHT. WIND GUSTS TO 60
MPH AND QUARTER SIZE HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN RISK WITH THE INITIAL
SURGE OF STORMS. QPF EXPECTED TO AVERAGE ONE HALF TO ONE INCH INTO
TUESDAY WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS CLOSE TO TWO INCHES POSSIBLE.

THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT STILL N OF THE I-40 CORRIDOR WILL SERVE TO
SET OFF NEW CONVECTION AS IT MOVES SWD ON TUESDAY. THE FRONT WILL
DROP INTO NRN MS BY MIDDAY AND REACH NEAR THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR
TUESDAY EVENING. MOST OF THE CONVECTION WILL WEAKEN DURING THE
MIDDAY HOURS TUESDAY AND DEPENDING ON THE OVERNIGHT MCS ACTIVITY IN
CENTRAL MS...ADDITIONAL STORMS COULD BE QUITE DELAYED INTO TUESDAY
EVENING WITH PWATS STILL EXPECTED TO BE NEAR 1.5 INCHES.

DRIER AIR BEGINS SINKING SWD LATE TUESDAY NIGHT WITH UPPER 50S DEW
POINTS AND PWATS BELOW AN INCH EXPECTED ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF
OUR CWFA BY EARLY WEDNESDAY. THERE ARE INDICATIONS THAT THE FRONT WILL
BE VERY SLOW TO MOVE THROUGH THE CWA AND BE APPROACHING THE HIGHWAY
84 CORRIDOR BY THE TIME DAYTIME HEATING ARRIVES WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD RETURN TO NEAR CLIMATOLOGY AFTER WEDNESDAY WITH
MOSTLY 60S AT NIGHT AND 85-90F IN THE AFTERNOONS. ENSEMBLE MEAN MOS
NUMBERS HANDLE THESE WELL./40/

LONGER TERM(THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...HIGH PRESSURE FROM THE GREAT
LAKES REGION WILL SLOWLY FILTER INTO THE NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE
CWA. THE GFS/SREF/GFS ENSEMBLES CONTINUE TO PUSH THE FRONT FURTHER
SOUTH OF THE AREA BY THURSDAY...WHILE THE ECMWF LINGERS IT IN THE
SOUTH THROUGH THURSDAY. HAVE CONTINUED WITH THE CONSENSUS FOR THIS
FORECAST PACKAGE WITH THE FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE ENTIRE AREA BY
THURSDAY. DRIER CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL BUT TEMPERATURES WILL STILL
BE IN THE UPPER 80S/LOWER 90S AS UPPER RIDGING BUILDS OVER THE REGION
AS WELL AS HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SFC. THE ARKLAMISS WILL REMAIN DRY
FROM ABOUT THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...WHEN A SHORTWAVE FROM TEXAS
BEGINS TO SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS THE REGION. THIS WILL HELP TO BRING RAIN
CHANCES BACK TO THE AREA FROM ABOUT SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH AT LEAST
MONDAY. SEVERAL DAYS OF DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHRA/TSRA WILL BE POSSIBLE
HEADING INTO NEXT WEEK./28/40/
