AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
332 PM CDT FRI JUL 27 2012

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...MORNING MCS THAT WAS
DIVING SOUTH ACROSS NORTHERN LOUISIANA HAS DECAYED BUT ANY OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES ASSOCIATED WITH IT HAVE BEEN HELPFUL IN INITIATING
AFTERNOON CONVECTION ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS. IN
ADDITION...A SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS MOVING THROUGH THE REGION AT THE
BASE OF A LARGER TROUGH LOCATED OVER THE OHIO VALLEY REGION. ALL OF
THESE FEATURES ARE INTERACTING WITH A WARM...MOIST...AND UNSTABLE
AIRMASS OVER THE REGION. LOCAL RADARS SHOW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON GENERALLY AROUND THE I-20 CORRIDOR...BUT
MOSTLY ALONG I-55 AND EAST. IT IS IN THIS AREA THAT CURRENT ANALYSIS
SHOWS THE BEST CAPE OF AROUND 2800-3000J/KG...AND TEMPERATURES HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO RISE JUST A BIT MORE AND WAS NOT INFLUENCED BY MORNING
CONVECTIVE DEBRIS. SOME OF THESE STORMS HAVE BEEN GETTING ON THE
STRONG SIDE WITH GUSTY WINDS BEING THE PRIMARY CONCERN THOUGH WITH A
PW VALUE OF AROUND 2 INCHES PER 12Z KJAN SOUNDING AND BLENDED TPW
SATELLITE IMAGERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS ALSO POSSIBLE.

EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO DIMINISH LATER THIS EVENING...RESULTING IN A
RATHER QUIET NIGHT FOR THE ARKLAMISS. TEMPERATURES THIS EVENING ARE
A LITTLE TOUGH GIVEN THAT WITHOUT ANY SIGNIFICANT COOLDOWN...THEY
SHOULD BE FAIRLY WARM AGAIN TONIGHT. HOWEVER...TEMPERATURES SO FAR
THIS AFTERNOON HAVE NOT BEEN QUITE AS WARM GIVEN CLOUDS AND MORE
RAIN. HAVE OPTED TO REMAIN CLOSE TO THE LOWER 70S THAT MAV PROVIDED.

FOR SATURDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE TO THE WEST WILL BEGIN TO BUILD BACK
OVER THE AREA AND MOSTLY AFFECT LOCATIONS TO THE WEST OF THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER THE MOST THROUGH THE EARLY WEEKEND. THIS WILL
ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO BUILD AGAIN AND IF ANY DRIER AIR CAN MAKE IT
IN THIS REGION...TEMPERATURES COULD GET SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN
FORECAST. HOWEVER...MODELS SUGGEST THAT THE HIGHER DEWPOINTS SHOULD
LAST THROUGH SATURDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW HEAT INDICES TO ONCE AGAIN
REACH INTO THE 100-105 RANGE. RAIN CHANCES WILL BE LOW FOR MOST OF
THE ARKLAMISS SATURDAY WITH THE BEST CHANCE BEING MOSTLY IN THE
SOUTH...SOUTH OF I-20 WHERE THE LAGGING BOUNDARY WILL HAVE PUSHED INTO.

THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...MODELS SUGGEST THAT SOME DRIER AIR SHOULD
MAKE IT INTO AT LEAST THE NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS BY
SUNDAY AND THIS COULD PERHAPS ALLOW FOR SLIGHTLY LOWER LOW TEMPS IN
THE NORTH SATURDAY NIGHT. BY SUNDAY THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BE FURTHER
TO THE EAST AND THIS SHOULD KEEP RAIN CHANCES AT BAY FOR SUNDAY.
HOWEVER IT WILL ALSO ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO GET INTO THE MID TO UPPER
90S...BUT WITH SOME LOWER DEWPOINTS...HEAT INDICES WONT BE AS HIGH
AS THEY HAVE BEEN.

FOLLOWED THE MAV GUIDANCE FAIRLY CLOSELY WITH SOME ADJUSTMENTS MADE
TO MOSTLY OVERNIGHT LOWS. THE LONG TERM REMAINS LARGELY UNCHANGED
AND THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION WILL BE ATTACHED. /28/

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...DRIER AIR WILL FILTER IN BEHIND THE
BNDRY THAT PUSHES THROUGH ON SAT...ALLOWING FOR LESS CLOUDS AND
WARMER TEMPERATURES MON AS H5 RIDGE AXIS EXTENDS INTO LOWER MS VLY.
PWATS WILL FALL TO NEAR 1" SUNDAY UNDER NLY FLOW BUT SLOWLY RECOVER
INTO MON FROM WLY MOISTURE RETURN FROM THE PLAINS. THERE IS LITTLE
SFC DEWPOINT DECREASE WITH THIS BNDRY AND LOW TEMPS (L/M70S) LOOK TO
PERSIST THROUGH PERIOD. SUN/MON LOOK TO HAVE THE HIGHEST
TEMPS...REACHING INTO THE UPPER 90S. HEAT INDICES SHOULD REMAIN IN
CHECK SUN/MON GIVEN GOOD MIXING.

FROM TUES-FRI...MEAN H5-H3 RIDGE CENTER WILL RETROGRADE WEST AS
NUMEROUS S/WV TROUGHS RIDE OVER TOP AND DOWN THE BACKSIDE ACROSS THE
MID AND LOWER MS VLYS WITH L/WV TROUGHING ACROSS NE CONUS.
CONFIDENCE IN TIMING OF INDIVIDUAL WAVES AT THIS POINT IS LOW BUT
POTENTIAL FOR UPSTREAM TSTORM/MCS COMPLEX IS POSSIBLE DURING THIS
TIME FRAME. SOME NWP RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY HINTS AT COMPLEX NORTH
OF REGION TUES/TUES NGT WITH SOME PSBL EXTENSION SWD INTO THE
ARKLAMISS BY WED AS A MORE POTENT WAVE IN PROXIMITY TO A BNDRY
PUSHES SWD. BOTH OP GFS AND EC SHOW THIS BNDRY PUSHING INTO
ARKLAMISS THURS/FRI... INCREASING RAIN/TSTORM CHANCES.

FOR FORECAST ELEMENTS...MEXMOS MAX/MIN TEMPS WERE GENERALLY ACCEPTED
WITH UPWARD TWEAKS ON MIN TEMPS. HIGH TEMPS WILL BE INTERESTING
TUE-FRI DEPENDING ON TIMING OF RAIN/CONVECTIVE DEBRIS POSSIBILITIES.
POPS CAME IN HIGHER FOR TUES/WED AND FOLLOWED SUIT WITH NEAR MEXMOS
ACCEPTANCE THEREAFTER GIVEN GOOD EC/GFS EXTENDED MOS OUTPUT
AGREEMENT. /ALLEN/

&&

.AVIATION...SCT SHWRS/TSTMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OVER THE AREA
THRU THIS EVNG WITH THE BEST CHANCE EAST OF I-55. LCL MVFR CIGS/IFR
VSBYS WILL OCCUR IN STRONGER STORMS. TSTMS WILL DECREASE EARLY THIS
EVNG AND WILL GENERALLY END BY 22Z. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL
TONIGHT AND SATURDAY BUT MVFR VSBYS WILL BE POSSIBLE AROUND SUNRISE
ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH AND WHERE RAINFALL OCCURS THIS EVNG. ISOLTD
TO SCT TSTMS WILL BE LIMITED TO THE SOUTH SAT. /22/
