AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
412 PM CDT MON AUG 13 2012

...ACTIVE EVENING BEGINNING TO TAKE SHAPE AS HEAT AND LEFTOVER
OUTFLOW BOUNDAY INTERACT WITH INCOMING COLD FRONT...

.DISCUSSION...SHORT TERM(TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT) STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS ARE BEGINNING TO ERUPT IN THE UPPER DELTA AS AIR MASS
RAPIDLY RELOADING IN THE WAKE OF THE MORNING MCS. A DRYLINE AND
SURFACE COLD FRONT CROSSING AR WAS PUSHING SEWD HELPING TO TRIGGER
NEW STORMS THROUGH THIS EVENING. PWATS OF 2 INCHES EARLIER HELPED
DUMP 1 INCH OF RAIN AT KMEI IN 15 MINUTES AND THE CURRENT SYNOPTIC
PATTERN(AUGUST??) SUPPORTS THE STEADILY ADVANCING EARLY AUTUMN FRONT
-REFER TO SATELLITE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. WE SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM
MAINTAIN SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY IN 70+ DEWPOINT AXIS AHEAD OF FRONTS INTO
THE NIGHTTIME HOURS AS IT SAGS INTO THE CENTRAL CWFA EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING.

CURRENTLY...DAYTIME HEATING HAS PUSHED SBCAPES TO 4000-4500J/KG TO
MATCH UP WITH 6.5C MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES OVER OUR DELTA REGION AHEAD
OF THE FRONT. SPC HAS ISSUED WW577 UNTIL 04Z AND WILL MAINTAIN
MENTION OF SEVERE STORMS THROUGH EARLY EVENING MAINLY OVER THE DELTA
REGION WITH GUSTY STRONG WINDS AS FAR SOUTH AS INTERSTATE 20.
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS OF 60MPH WILL BE THE MAIN RISK WITH NICKEL TO
QUARTER SIZED HAIL SECONDARY. A SPOT SPINUP TORNADO NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION FROM 00-04Z N OF ABOUT A WINONA-KGLH LINE. THERE WILL BE A
SOME DECREASE/CONSOLIDATION OF THE CONVECTION AFTER SUNDOWN WITH THE
EASTWARD SHIFT OF THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS. LOCAL WRF AND HRR MODEL RUNS
SUPPORT AN ESEWD SHIFT OF STORMS ALONG THE OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM
THE DELTA TO CENTRAL MS LATE TONIGHT BEFORE MOST ACTION DIES DOWN
TOWARD DAYBREAK.

TUESDAY MORNING SHOULD FEATURE PLENTY OF LEFTOVER CLOUD DEBRIS AND
SCATTERED SHRA CLOSE TO THE BOUNDARY. FINALLY...GFS HAS THE FRONT
STALLING NEAR THE I-20 CORRIDOR BY TUESDAY EVENING AND WILL SHIFT
HIGHEST POPS TO OUR SRN PORTIONS FOR THE PEAK DAYTIME HEATING PERIOD.
ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY WILL STILL HAVE A FEW STRONG STORMS
POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY FOR OUR SOUTHEAST MOST ZONES. THE NWLY FLOW
ALOFT WILL REMAIN ACROSS OUR AREA THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT WITH ANOTHER
POTENTIAL SHORTWAVE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTION ALONG THE
STALLED BOUNDARY. WL CARRY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR NOW TUESDAY EVENING
WITH A BREAK EXPECTED LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING
AS THE NEXT ROUND OF CONVECTION COULD HOLD OFF UNTIL MIDDAY OR EVEN
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON./40/

PREVIOUSLY IN THE LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH NEXT MONDAY...PERIODS
OF SHRA/TSRA 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 SHRA/TSRA
ACTIVITY INTO OVRNGT HOURS. 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/ECMWF.

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...AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING AND SUPPORT A COLD
FRONT THAT WILL MOVE NEAR GLH BY 03Z TUE. TSTMS ARE DEVELOPING ONCE
AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA THIS
EVENING. MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY WITH THE TSTMS ACTIVITY.
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. /15/
