AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
350 AM CDT MON AUG 13 2012

...FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE NORTH TODAY...
.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...AFTER A RATHER DRY
WEEKEND...RAIN CHANCES RETURN TODAY. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY/RUC
ANALYSIS SHOWS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH AXIS OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS THAT
WILL SWING EAST ACROSS THE MS VALLEY AND TO THE OH/TN VALLEYS TODAY.
THIS TROUGH WILL SUPPORT A SURFACE LOW NOTED OVER MISSOURI EARLY
THIS MORNING THAT WILL TRACK TO THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES REGION BY
TUESDAY MORNING. THE TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH OUR NW ZONES
BY THIS EVENING AND SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS OUR CWA TONIGHT AND TUESDAY.
WAA AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM WILL INCREASE OVER OUR AREA TODAY AND BRING
AN INCREASE OF DEEP MOISTURE BACK ACROSS OUR WHOLE CWA. A RATHER DRY
AIRMASS WITH MID 60 DEW POINTS AND A PW BELOW AN INCH AND A HALF
STILL RESIDED OVER THE NORTHEAST HALF OF OUR CWA EARLY THIS MORNING.
BY AFTERNOON LOWER 70 DEW POINTS AND A PW CLOSER TO TWO INCHES IS
EXPECTED TO BE BACK ACROSS THE CWA. LOCAL RADARS ALREADY SHOW SOME
CONVECTION OVER OUR NW ZONES. HIRES MODELS INDICATE THIS ACTIVITY
WILL GRADUALLY DISSIPATE THIS MORNING ALONG THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR
AND ALLOW FOR HEATING BY AFTN. HIGHS WILL BE NEAR NORMAL IN THE
LOWER 90S TODAY. THIS HEATING WILL CONTRIBUTE TO MLCAPES OF
2000-2500J/KG...6.5C MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND VERTICAL TOTALS NEAR
27C OVER OUR DELTA REGION AHEAD OF THE FRONT. STRONG TO SEVERE
STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING MAINLY
OVER THE DELTA REGION BUT ALSO ALONG THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR AND AS
FAR SOUTH AS INTERSTATE 20. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL BE THE MAIN
RISK WITH NICKEL TO QUARTER SIZED HAIL SECONDARY. THERE WILL BE A
NOTED DECREASE IN CONVECTION WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING AND
THE EASTWARD SHIFT OF THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS BUT...ACTIVITY WILL BE
POSSIBLE THOUGH THE NIGHT INTO TUESDAY AS THE COLD FRONT DRIFTS
SOUTH THROUGH THE CWA. THE GFS IS FARTHEST SOUTH WITH THE FRONT
TUESDAY AFTERNOON...BUT THE FRONT IS STILL EXPECTED TO STALL NEAR
THE I-20 CORRIDOR BY TUESDAY EVENING. DAYTIME HEATING WILL
CONTRIBUTE TO DEVELOPMENT OF STORMS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY
TUESDAY. A FEW STRONG STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AT LEAST ACROSS OUR
SOUTHEAST MOST ZONES TUESDAY AFTERNOON. NW FLOW ALOFT WILL REMAIN
ACROSS OUR AREA THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. MODELS INDICATE ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE IN THE FLOW ALOFT AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTION ALONG
THE STALLED BOUNDARY UPSTREAM OF OUR CWA. WL CARRY GFS MOS POPS FOR
NOW AS THE CONVECTION LOOKS TO HOLD OFF UNTIL WEDNESDAY. /22/

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH NEXT MONDAY...PERIODS OF
SHOWERS/TSTORMS EXPECTED WITH ACTIVITY LINGERING INTO PORTIONS OF
THE OVERNIGHTS DURING THE LONG TERM. RAIN/TSTORM CHANCES GO UP
FRIDAY AS AN APPROACHING COOL FRONT IMPACTS THE REGION.

GOOD AGREEMENT AMONGST THE NWP SUITE THIS MORNING WITH LONG TERM
CHARACTERIZED BY ERN CONUS TROUGHING /WITH SUBTLE EMBEDDED S/WV'S
ACROSS LOWER MS VALLEY/ THAT WILL AID IN EXTENDING DIURNAL
SHOWER/TSTORM ACTIVITY INTO OVRNGT HOURS. WEDNESDAY WILL BE A
RECOVERY DAY AS SLY MOISTURE RETURN INFILTRATES NORTH ACROSS SW/W
ZONES WHERE GREATEST POPS HAVE BEEN PLACED. ENHANCED ZONAL TO WNW
FLOW WED INTO THURS ALONG WITH AN PROGGED EMBEDDED S/WV WILL ALLOW
FOR SOME DIURNAL ACTIVITY (ALSO ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK WARM FRONT
MOVING NORTH) TO LINGER OVRNGT. AN ACTIVE SEA-BREEZE LOOKS ON TAP
FOR THURS WITH PULSE AIRMASS TSTORMS EXPECTED DURING AFTN ACROSS THE
REST OF THE REGION WITH SOME PSBL ENHANCEMENT OF STRENGTH/ LONGEVITY
FROM A PROGGED S/WV PER GFS/EC.

PWATS OF 1.8-2.0" WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS ENTIRE REGION BY FRIDAY AS
SFC LOW ACROSS OHIO RIVER VALLEY CREATES STRONG SLY FLOW. ATTENDANT
COOL FRONT WILL APPROACH REGION BY FRI AFTN-FRI NGT, ALLOWING FOR
GREATEST COVERAGE OF SHOWERS/TSTORMS OF THE PERIOD. LAPSE
RATES/SHEAR/WIND FLOW APPEAR LOW AT THIS TIME FOR ANY ORGANIZED
SEVERE RISK AND WILL KEEP LONG-TERM HWO CLEAR. TEMPS SHOULD BE
COOLER FRI/SAT GIVEN GREATER CLOUD/RAIN COVERAGE WITH HIGHS IN UPPER
80S. DEPENDING OF COVERAGE, SOME AREAS MAY ONLY MAKE IT LOW TO MID
80S, WHICH WOULD BE 3-7F BELOW AVERAGE FOR MID AUGUST.

EXPECT RAIN/TSTORMS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE OVRNGT FRI INTO SAT AS
FRONT SLOWLY SHIFTS SOUTH TOWARDS HWY-82/I-20 CORRIDOR. GFS NOT AS
BULLISH IN BRINGING THE FRONT ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITH EC AGREEING.
HAVE UPPED/EXTENDED POPS FORWARD IN TIME FOR SAT. ISO/SCT ACTIVITY
COULD BE PSBL ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-20 SAT/SUN AFTNS BUT OVERALL
PWATS COULD BE REDUCED TO 1.5-1.7" RANGE. MODELS DIVERGE SUN/MON
WITH EC BEING MORE AMPLIFIED WITH ANOTHER S/WV TROUGH DROPPING DOWN
ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE ERN CONUS L/WV TROUGH AND PUSHES THE
AFOREMENTIONED FRONT THROUGH BY MON/MON NGT. NOT HIGHLY CONFIDENT ON
THIS SOLUTION AND PLACE MORE WEIGHT TOWARDS GFS TO AND WAIT FOR A
SOLID TREND.

FOR FORECAST ELEMENTS...MAV POPS WERE UPPED 10-20% FRIDAY AND
EXTENDING FORWARD IN TIME INTO SAT MRNG WITH THE SLOWER/NEARLY
STALLING FRONT. LOWS WERE TWEAKED UPWARD AS DEWPOINTS INCREASE
WHILE UNDER BLANKET OF NOCTURNAL CLOUDS. MEXMOS HIGHS WERE GENERALLY
ACCEPTED WITH SOME MINOR TWEAKS DOWN ON FRIDAY. /ALLEN/

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WERE BEING OBSERVED AT ALL TAF SITES
THROUGH 08Z AND VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THIS MORNING. PATCHY
AREAS OF EARLY MORNING MVFR CATEGORY FOG WL BE POSSIBLE THOUGH...SE
AT MEI AND HBG. AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA TODAY AND SUPPORT A COLD FRONT THAT WILL
MOVE NEAR GLH BY 03Z TUE. THE RISK FOR TSTMS WILL INCREASE TODAY
AHEAD OF THE FRONT...DURING THE MORNING AT GLH/GWO AND MAINLY IN THE
AFTERNOON FOR JAN/GTR/MEI/HBG. THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE THIS
EVENING AS THE COLD FRONT SLOWLY DROPS INTO THE AREA. THIS FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO BE OVER THE CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE AREA BY 18Z TUE AND
STALL ACROSS THE SOUTH BY 00Z WED. /22/
