Area forecast discussion, Jul 14, 2:43 PM CDT, 27 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 243 PM CDT SAT JUL 14 2012 .DISCUSSION...FOCUS OF THE FORECAST CONTINUES TO BE ON THE PRECIP POTENTIAL FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND AGAIN ON SUNDAY. AFTER THAT...RAIN CHANCES LOWER A GOOD BIT AND THE FOCUS SHIFTS MORE TOWARDS WARMER TEMPS. OVERALL...PRECIP HAS BEEN LESS TODAY THAN THE PREV DAYS...BUT THERE EXISTS QUITE A BIT OF ACTIVITY OVER THE EAST HALF AND THE FACT THAT IS MOVING NICELY TO THE N/NW...THE COVERAGE WILL BE QUITE HIGH. THE WESTERN HALF HAS NOT SEEN MUCH SO FAR TODAY AS INSTABILITY IS LESS OVER THAT WAY DUE TO WARMER MID LEVELS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SPINNING MCV. HOWEVER...MOST OF THE CWA REMAINS IN A FAVORABLE REGION WITH SOLID LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND THIS SHOULD SUPPORT SHRA/FEW TSRA INTO EARLY EVENING. GUID POPS WERE FAIRLY HIGH AND OPTED TO CUT ABOUT 10% ACROSS THE BOARD. MOST OF THE NIGHT PERIOD WILL BE QUIET BUT SOME POTENTIAL WILL EXIST FOR THE FAR NW AND SE AREAS TO SEE SOME SHOWER ACTIVITY TOWARD SUNRISE AND HAVE THE WX GRIDS INDICATING THAT. FOR SUNDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BE BUILDING AND CENTERED JUST EAST OF THE AREA. THE AXIS OF PRECIP ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THIS RIDGE IS FOCUSED MORE ON THE MS/AL LINE TODAY SO LOOK FOR THIS AXIS TO SHIFT WESTWARD FOR SUNDAY. THE CENTRAL SECTION OF THE CWA WILL BE SITUATED IN A NICE LOW LEVEL MOIST AXIS WITH DEEP SOUTHERLY FLOW TO HELP LOOSELY ORGANIZED BANDS OF SHRA/TSRA MOVING S TO N FROM MAINLY MIDDAY INTO THE AFTERNOON. GUID POPS WERE DECENT...BUT DID INCREASE VALUES A BIT TO GET LIKELY WORDING WITHIN THE AXIS OF BEST LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. FOR TEMPS...GFS GUID IS OFFERING WARMER READINGS WITH THE NAM 3-5 DEGREES COOLER. TEMPS SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO TODAY AND A BLEND OF THE GFS/NAM FIT. FOR MONDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA AND DRIER MID LEVEL AIR WILL ROTATE INTO THE CWA. LESS PRECIP CAN BE EXPECTED DUE TO INCREASED SUBSIDENCE. WITH MORE SUNSHINE ACROSS THE AREA...TEMPS WILL RESPOND AND LOOK FOR HIGHS TO PEAK BETWEEN 91-94 DEGREES. /CME/ && .AVIATION...A MIX OF VFR/MVFR CEILINGS ARE BEING OBSERVED THIS AFTERNOON AT MOST TAF SITES. SCATTERED DIURNAL SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE BECOMING MORE NUMEROUS THIS AFTERNOON AS EXPECTED...PARTICULARLY ALONG AND EAST OF INTERSTATE 55 (I.E. KHKS...KJAN...KGTR...KMEI...& KHBG). MVFR/IFR CEILINGS AND/OR VISIBILITIES WILL EXIST AT SITES WERE THIS ACTIVITY IS OBSERVED. CONVECTION WILL BEGIN TO WANE DURING THE EVENING...LEAVING VFR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT. BY DAY BREAK SUNDAY MORNING HOWEVER...MVFR/IFR CEILINGS AND/OR VISIBILITIES WILL BE POSSIBLE AT NAMELY KHBG AND KMEI AS THE RESULT OF LOW STRATUS. SOUTHEAST SURFACE WINDS BETWEEN 3-8 KNOTS WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT. /19/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
