AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
453 AM CDT FRI AUG 17 2012

.DISCUSSION...SHORT TERM(TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT) MAIN FOCUS OF
THE SHORT TERM WILL BE ON THE ONGOING TSTORM COMPLEX CROSSING NRN/WRN
AREAS ATTM WITH VERY ACTIVE DAY EXPECTED AS ADDITIONAL TSTORM DVLPMT
IS EXPECTED ACROSS CNTRL/SRN AREAS THIS AFTN.

A LARGE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX THAT DEVELOPED ALONG AND AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT ACROSS THE MID-MS VALLEY HAS CONTINUED ITS
TREK SWD THRU N MS THIS MRNG. ALSO OF NOTE IS AN MCV IN SRN AR THAT
IS AIDING IN LOW-LVL CONVERGENT AXIS AND SUPPORTING ADDITIONAL
STRONG STORMS ALONG THE SW FLANK OF THE SLOWLY DECAYING COMPLEX.
LATEST IR SAT INDICATES WARMING CLOUD TOPS WITH THE N MS COMPLEX BUT
COOLING TOPS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MCV SUPPORTED LINE. HEAVY RAIN AND
HIGH LIGHTNING ACTIVITY WILL IMPACT THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE REGION
THROUGH 7AM. FLASH FLOODING WILL BE MONITORED IN THIS AREA AS THIS
COMPLEX AND THE MCV SUPPORTED LINE MOVE IN LATER THIS MORNING. THE
MCV SUPPORTED TS LINE WILL SHIFT ACROSS NRN/CNTL AREAS OF MS THROUGH
EARLY TO LATE MORNING HOURS. DEPENDING ON ITS SRN EXTENT AS WELL AS
WHERE THE COLD POOL COMES TO REST BY MID AFTN, WILL DETERMINE THIS
AFTNS TS ACTIVITY.

AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE COLD POOL/RESULTANT DIFFERENTIAL HEATING
BOUNDARY FROM CLOUDS ACROSS NE ZONES WILL BECOME UNSTABLE AND
SUPPORT NEW TS DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTN. THIS ACTIVITY COULD BE STRONG
AND SEVERE WITH HIGH RAINFALL RATES WITH THE ADDITIONAL HELP OF
S/WV OVER REGION. THE AMOUNT OF ACTIVITY ALONG AND NORTH OF A
CROSSETT, AR TO DE KALB, MS LINE THIS AFTN IS IN QUESTION AS TO THE
AMOUNT OF RECOVERY THAT CAN OCCUR. HAVE HIGHEST POPS IN SW AND
TAPERING THEM DOWN TO THE NE THIS AFTN/EVE. STRENGTH OF ACTIVITY
WILL WANE GOING INTO THE OVRNGT FOR SRN AREAS BUT SOME LINGERING
SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS AREA REMAINS IN MEAN L/WV TROUGH AXIS.

FOR SATURDAY...NWP HAS COME MORE IN LINE WITH SFC FRONT MAKING IT
SOUTH SOMEWHERE BETWEEN HWY-82 AND I-20. SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY WILL
DEVELOP ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE FRONT WITH STORM DVLPMT EXPECTED ONCE
AGAIN BUT INSOLATION LIMITATION MAY HINDER OVERALL STORM POTENCY.
LOW-LVL FLOW APPEARS TO BE PARALLEL TO W-E FRONTAL ORIENTATION AND
THIS COULD AID IN TRAINING OF SHOWERS/STORMS IN 1.8-2.0" PWAT
ENVIRONMENT. BY LATE SAT INTO EARLY SUN...THE MEAN L/WV TROUGH
AMPLIFIES ACROSS THE MID-MS VLY WITH LOWERING H5 HEIGHTS AND ACTS TO
SHIFT THE FRONT BACK NORTH. THIS WILL FURTHER AID IN SHOWER/STORMS
THROUGH THE OVRNGT SAT INTO SUN MRNG.

FOR FORECAST ELEMENTS...RAISED POPS SUBSTANTIALLY FOR THIS MORNING
FOR NRN AREAS AND THEN FLIPPED BEST POPS FOR THIS AFTN TO S/SW AREAS
(WELL ABOVE MAVMOS). HIGHS WERE REDUCED A COUPLE OF DEGREES TODAY
DUE TO XPCTD CLOUD COVER. POPS WERE ALSO INCREASED FOR SAT AFTN
PERIOD ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-20. /ALLEN/

LONG TERM(SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...THE STUBBORN MEAN LONGWAVE TROUGH
AXIS OVER THE ERN THIRD OF THE CONUS GRADUALLY LIFTS NWD NEXT WEEK
LEAVING A FLATTENING WNWLY FLOW REGIME FOR THE GULF STATES.
HOWEVER...INITIALLY ON SUNDAY...A SHARP 30-40DM HEIGHT FALL AND VORT
TROUGH AT 500MB PIVOTS THROUGH THE LOWER MS VALLEY BRINGING A ROUND
OF HEAVY SHOWERS AND NUMEROUS STORMS SWD THROUGH OUR CWFA AS THE
FRONT PUSHES TO THE GULF COAST FOR SUNDAY NIGHT. THE GREATEST RAIN/
STORM CHANCES SUNDAY WILL BE FROM NOON TO MIDNIGHT ALONG A HIGHWAY 49
AXIS AS DRIER AIR NOSES ONLY INTO OUR NERN LOCATIONS FROM THE TN
VALLEY. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVER 2 DAYS COULD EASILY AVERAGE 2 TO 3
INCHES FOR MUCH OF OUR CWFA UNDER THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF A
200MB JET STREAK PULLING AWAY THRU THE SRN APPALACHIANS.

BY MONDAY MORNING...BEST RAIN CHANCES WILL SHIFT TO OUR SRN QUARTER
AS MID/UPPER FLOW BECOMES MORE NWLY AND PWATS DROP TO NEAR ONE INCH
ACROSS NRN AREAS WITH SRN AREAS NEAR 1.5". TUESDAY SHOULD BE ABOUT
THE DRIEST DAY OF THE COMING WEEK SINCE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE SHOULD BE
INCREASING ONCE AGAIN ON SLY FLOW WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY AS THAT
UPPER LEVEL PATTERN LIFTS NWD. A MORE DIFFUSE LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN ACROSS THE GULF STATES EVEN ON FRIDAY AS SOME MID
LEVEL RIDGING TRIES TO GET ESTABLISHED ALONG THE SABINE RIVER VALLEY.

TEMPS WILL REMAIN JUST BELOW NORMAL FOR MOST OF THE MEDIUM RANGE AS
LOWS IN THE 60S AND HIGHS IN THE 80S DOMINATE. POPS STAY GENERALLY
IN THE 60-80 PERCENT RANGE SUNDAY WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE AND SHIFT
TO SRN SECTIONS AT 50-70 PERCENT FOR MONDAY/TUESDAY. POPS RETURN NWD
IN THE 20-40 PERCENT RANGE FOR THE MIDDLE AND END OF THE WEEK AS
ENSEMBLE MEANS GENERALLY PREFERRED./40/

&&

.AVIATION...TREACHEROUS FLYING CONDS PERSIST ACROSS NRN TAF SITES,
ESPECIALLY KGTR THROUGH THE NEXT 3 HOURS. HEAVY TS WITH LIGHTNING
AND REDUCED MVFR TO IFR CIGS WILL IMPACT KGTR THROUGH 7-8AM WITH
GRADUAL IPVMT THEREAFTER. CNTRL/SRN TAF SITES WILL BE VFR THROUGH
MRNG BUT HAVE SCT/NUM TS DVLP 19Z-17/01Z WITH STORM TOPS TO FL500
AND ENHANCED TURBULENCE INVOF TS. GENERAL WINDS OUTSIDE OF TS
INFLUENCE WILL BE WLY AT 5-10 KT WITH SOME BRIEF HIGHER GUSTS. BRIEF
MVFR TO IFR CONDS AND ERRATIC SFC WINDS PSBL IF TS IMPACTS SITE
DIRECTLY. TS COVERAGE WILL DIMINISH ACROSS REGION BY 17/02Z BUT SOME
LINGERING ISO/SCT SHRA WILL PERSIST BUT NOT WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO
PLACE IN SPECIFIC TAF AT THIS TIME. /ALLEN/
