AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

600 PM CDT MON JUN 11 2012

..SEVERE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX PUSHING SOUTHEAST INTO THE REGION THIS
EVENING...

.UPDATE...UPDATED ZONES AND PRODUCTS FOR INCLUSION OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 375 FOR PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA
ALONG AND NORTH OF WINNSBORO...TO JACKSON...TO MERIDIAN THROUGH 10
PM CDT.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX WITH A HISTORY OF WIDESPREAD WIND DAMAGE
JUST TO OUR NORTH IS BEGINNING TO PUSH SOUTH INTO NORTHERN PORTIONS
OF THE REGION CURRENTLY. PREVIOUS NOTION THAT THE WESTERN EXTENT OF
THIS COMPLEX WOULD BE EAST OF OUR WESTERN COUNTIES/PARISHES STARTING
TO PROVE FALSE AS THE OVERALL MCS HAS TURNED A LITTLE MORE DUE
SOUTH. MOST INTENSE PORTIONS OF THE COMPLEX ARE MOVING INTO THE
ARKLAMISS DELTA AND ALONG AND JUST EAST OF THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE. THE
FORMER INTENSITY MAX CORRESPONDS TO MOVEMENT INTO BEST INSTABILITY
AXIS WHILE LATTER MAX CORRESPONDS TO BETTER BAROCLINIC AND UPPER
LEVEL SUPPORT. COULD BE A ZONE IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE INTENSITY
MAXIMA WHERE WINDS WILL NOT BE AS STRONG...BUT EVEN IN THESE AREAS
GUSTS UP TO SEVERE CRITERIA ARE STILL HIGHLY POSSIBLE.

ZONES UPDATED TO INCREASE POPS IN MOST AREAS THROUGH THE EVENING AND
TO SPEED UP TIMING JUST A BIT. PREVIOUS IDEA OF SEVERE POTENTIAL
EXISTING (FROM MAINLY DAMAGING WINDS) WELL SOUTH INTO THE CWA THIS
EVENING IS VERY VALID...ALTHOUGH HIGH END GUST POTENTIAL WILL LIKELY
DROP OFF LATER THIS EVENING AS ACTIVITY PUSHES INTO FAR SOUTHERN
ZONES. /BB/

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 430 PM CDT MON JUN 11 2012/

SHORT TERM...CURRENTLY WATCHING RATHER WELL-DEVELOPED THUNDERSTORM
COMPLEX (WHICH HAS BEEN PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS AND SOME REPORTS OF
LARGE HAIL) PUSHING SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE NORTHERN FRINGES OF OUR
FORECAST AREA. AS HAS GENERALLY BEEN ANTICIPATED WITH THIS
SYSTEM...THE COMPLEX IS EXPECTED TO HOLD TOGETHER WITH SUFFICIENT
STRENGTH TO CONTINUE TO SEVERE RISK AS IT MOVES INTO THE HEART OF
THE REGION THIS EVENING. THE COMBINATION OF STORM RELATIVE LOW LEVEL
SHEAR AND INSTABILITY NORTH OF I-20 EARLY THIS EVENING COULD POSE A
PARTICULARLY STRONG RISK FOR WIDESPREAD WINDS GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 70
MPH. THERE HAS BEEN SOME INDICATION THAT THE WESTERN EXTENT OF THE
STORM COMPLEX MAY END UP PASSING EAST OF OUR WESTERN-MOST COUNTIES
AND PARISHES AND THIS TREND WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED.
HOWEVER...GIVEN THE CONSENSUS OF PREVIOUS GUIDANCE AND THE
EXPECTATION OF SOME SLIGHT SOUTHWARD TURNING OF MOVEMENT VECTORS IT
WOULD BE PREMATURE AT THIS POINT TO DE-EMPHASIZE THE RISK THERE.
SOMEWHAT LESSER SHEAR AND INSTABILITY INGREDIENTS SOUTH OF I-20 LATE
THIS EVENING SHOULD ALLOW FOR A LITTLE LESS SIG SVR POTENTIAL IN
THOSE AREAS...BUT AT LEAST SOME DAMAGING WIND WILL PERSIST. STILL
EXPECT MOST OF THE CONVECTION SHOULD BE OVER IN THE CWA BY LATE
TONIGHT WITH TEMPERATURES BOTTOMING-OUT A LITTLE BELOW MAV GUIDANCE.

FOR TOMORROW THE SITUATION IS VERY COMPLEX AND HINGES UPON THE
SPECIFIC EVOLUTION OF THINGS TONIGHT. FOR EXAMPLE...MANY HIRES MODEL
RUNS WHICH HAVE MODELED CONVECTION THUS FAR QUITE WELL SO FAR INSIST
DEEP MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY AXIS WILL BE DISRUPTED SO MUCH BY
TONIGHTS CONVECTION THAT LITTLE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL FORM
TOMORROW. MEANWHILE...THE LARGER-SCALE EUROPEAN MODEL (WHICH IS
SURPRISINGLY NOT DOING A TERRIBLE JOB WITH THE CURRENT CONVECTION)
BREAKS OUT VERY ROBUST STORMS ACROSS AT LEAST THE SOUTHERN
TWO-THIRDS OF OUR REGION TOMORROW AFTERNOON ALONG A SOUTHWARD
ADVANCING FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THE LATTER SCENARIO IS LOOKING MORE
PLAUSIBLE SINCE THE RESERVOIR OF MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY TO OUR
WEST DOES NOT LOOK TO BE ERADICATED BY ANY CONVECTION DEVELOPING
LATER AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT VECTORS WILL COME FROM THE WEST
TOMORROW AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY. IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE A DIFFERENT
THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX WILL GET GOING TO OUR WEST LATE TONIGHT...WHICH
MAY SUBSEQUENTLY TRY TO PUSH INTO PART OF OUR REGION RELATIVELY
EARLY ON TUESDAY. THAT SAID...THE MOST LIKELY EVOLUTION WILL BE FOR
MOST OF THE CONVECTION TO HOLD OFF IN OUR REGION UNTIL LATER ON
TUESDAY...WHEN INSTABILITY WILL AGAIN BE HIGH...SHEAR
MODERATE...AND THE RISK FOR AT LEAST SOME SEVERE WEATHER PRESENT.
/BB/

LONGER TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY...THE COLD FRONT WILL
PUSH SOUTH THROUGH MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY AND STALL
BEFORE REACHING THE GULF COAST. A DRIER AIRMASS FOLLOWING THE FRONT
WILL BRIEFLY SETTLE OVER THE ARKLAMISS...BUT MODELS ARE IN GENERAL
AGREEMENT THAT A WEAK UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL CUT OFF FROM
THE WESTERLIES AND SLOWLY MIGRATE SEWD INTO THE LOWER MS VALLEY
REGION. THIS LOW WILL HELP TO MOISTEN THE AIRMASS AND PROMOTE A MORE
FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR SUMMERTIME DIURNAL TSTM
ACTIVITY...PARTICULARLY ALONG THE HWY 84 CORRIDOR FROM THURS THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER MOISTURE/INSTABILITY WILL BE MARGINAL FOR
GETTING MORE THAN ISOLATED TO SCATTERED CONVECTIVE PCPN COVERAGE.
OTHERWISE...EXPECT SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES WITH HIGHS GETTING TO
AROUND 90F WHILE LOWS DROP OFF INTO THE MID/UPPER 60S.
/EC/

&&

.AVIATION...GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS SCT-BKN 3-5KFT WILL CONTINUE
FOR MOST AREAS THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON. CIGS/VSBYS WILL
DETERIORATE QUICKLY OVER NRN ZONES BY 6 PM WHEN A SQUALL LINE OF
STRONG AND SEVERE STORMS MOVES IN FROM THE NORTH. THE LINE OF STORMS
WILL PROCEED TO THE S ACROSS THE REGION...REACHING THE I-20 CORRIDOR
BETWEEN 8 AND 10 PM AND MOVING INTO SRN ZONES BETWEEN 10 PM AND
MIDNIGHT. IFR/MVFR CIGS/VSBYS CAN BE EXPECTED IN HEAVIER PRECIP WITH
THE LINES OF STORMS. VSBYS WILL RECOVER TO VFR IN THE WAKE OF THE
STORMS WITH BKN-OVC CIGS 3-5K FEET. WIND GUSTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
MOST INTENSE OVER NRN ZONES WITH POSSIBLE WIND GUSTS TO 70-80 MPH
WITH GUSTS TO 60 MPH EXPECTED OVER SRN AREAS. WIDESPREAD MVFR CIGS
WILL DEVELOP TOWARD MORNING ACROSS THE AREA WITH LOCAL MVFR VSBYS
THROUGH 13Z. /03/
