AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
401 PM CDT FRI AUG 10 2012

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY MORNING

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS ONGOING WITH INCREASING
COVERAGE EXPECTED THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.

LATEST VIS SAT REVEALING MANY LINEAR CUMULUS CONGESTUS BANDS ACROSS
NORTH AND CENTRAL MS EXTENDING SW INTO SE AR/NE LA AS A SLOWLY MOVING
COOL FRONT IS POSITIONED ALONG A RUSTON, LA TO CLARKSDALE TO CORINTH,
MS LINE. LATEST SFC OBS AND VIS SAT ALSO INDICATE SFC LOW PRESENT
ACROSS N MS ALONG WITH NWP DEPICTING 25-35 KT EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR.
THIS LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE COUPLED WITH MUCAPE VALUES ~3000 J/KG AND
UPPER-LVL FLOW WILL SUPPORT SOME STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS THIS
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. MAIN RISKS CONTINUE TO BE DAMAGING WINDS
OF 60 MPH, QUARTER SIZED HAIL, FREQUENT LIGHTNING, AND HEAVY
RAINFALL. WITH DECENT UPPER-LVL FLOW, SOME LINEAR ORGANIZATION COULD
OCCUR WITH THESE STORMS AND ENHANCE THE STRONG WIND RISK THROUGH
EARLY EVENING FOR AREAS SOUTH AND EAST OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE.

STORM ACTIVITY WILL PUSH SE AND DIMINISH IN STRENGTH THROUGH MID TO
LATE EVENING WITH SOME STORMS POSSIBLY LINGERING ACROSS SW AREAS
TOWARDS MIDNIGHT AS S/WV ENERGY LAGS ACROSS LA/TX.

THE WEEKEND FORECAST HAS COME A BIT MORE INTO FOCUS BUT SOME
QUESTIONS REMAIN. THE BIGGEST QUESTION IS: HOW FAR/FAST WILL THE COOL
FRONT PUSH SOUTHWARD? THE GFS HAS BEEN THE MOST BULLISH, YET
PERSISTENT ON BRINGING THE FRONT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE ARKLAMISS BY
MID-DAY DAY SATURDAY. THE NAM AND NEW EC CONTINUE TO HOLD THE FRONT UP
ACROSS THE I-20 CORRIDOR THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE SREF PROBS FOR
THE 65F ISODROSOTHERM LOCATION IS SPLIT INTO NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN
CAMPS. HAVE LEANED TOWARD THE MEAN ENSEMBLE APPROACH THIS PACKAGE.
STATING THAT...SOME ISOLATED GENERAL THUNDERSTORMS APPEAR POSSIBLE
ACROSS SRN AREAS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WITH CENTRAL AND NORTHERN AREAS
REMAINING DRY, COOLER, WITH MORE COMFORTABLE HUMIDITY VALUES.

BY LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY MORNING...ANOTHER DEEP S/WV IS PROGGED TO
DROP OUT OF THE UPPER MS VLY...ALLOWING FOR MOISTURE TO RETURN BACK
INTO THE REGION. GREATER COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS LOOK TO BE ON
TAP FOR MONDAY AFTN.

FOR FORECAST ELEMENTS THIS PERIOD...DROPPED HIGHS 1-2F THIS
AFTERNOON DUE TO THE CLOUD COVER AND GENERALLY FOLLOWED MAV GUIDANCE
WITH 1-2F DROPS TO SATURDAY'S HIGHS. LOWS WERE MASSAGED TOWARDS
ENSEMBLE MEAN WITH A SLIGHT GFS WEIGHT. SHOULD BE QUITE COMFORTABLE
REGARDLESS, AS LOWS DROP AT LEAST THE MID 60S ON SUNDAY MRNG. /ALLEN/

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CLOUD LAYERS 3-6K FEET WILL DOMINATE THE AREA
THROUGH 02Z AHEAD OF A WEAKENING FRONTAL ZONE PUSHING THROUGH THE
HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR. LIGHT SWLY SURFACE FLOW OF 6-11KTS WILL SLOWLY
BECOME WNW...THEN NWLY LESS THAN 8KTS TONIGHT AND NLY 6-10KTS
SATURDAY MORNING. ISOLATED/LOCALLY SCATTERED TSRA AHEAD OF THE
FRONTAL ZONE SHOULD INCREASE THROUGH EARLY EVENING ACROSS THE
NATCHEZ TRACE PARKWAY CORRIDOR BEFORE DRYING OFF ABOUT 01-03Z. THE
OVERALL VFR CONDITIONS MAY BE INTERRUPTED LATE TONIGHT IN PATCHY FOG
08-13Z BUT RESUME BY 14Z SATURDAY FOLLOWED BY ONLY A SCATTERING OF
CLOUD LAYERS ABOVE 5K FEET 17-23Z. /40/
