AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
322 AM CDT SAT AUG 18 2012

...WET WEEKEND TO BOOST RAIN TOTALS WELL ABOVE NORMAL FOR MONTH...

.DISCUSSION...SHORT TERM(TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT) FOCUS FOR THE
SHORT TERM WILL BE THE ONGOING MCS CROSSING OUR NRN TIER THIS
MORNING AS FRONTAL BOUNDARY POSITIONED JUST N OF THE CWFA. MORE
SHRA/TSRA WILL BE ACTIVE AS WEAK SHORTWAVES PASS THROUGH THE BASE OF
THE LONGWAVE TROUGH AXIS PARKED ACROSS THE ERN THIRD OF THE CONUS
THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. THEN FINALLY...A SHARP TROUGH FEATURING
30-40DM 500MB HEIGHT FALLS SWEEPS THROUGH THE GULF STATES SUNDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING BRINGING POTENTIAL FOR HEAVIER RAINFALL IN EWD
TRAINING STORMS.

A FEW STRONG TO ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH EACH
PASSING COMPLEX THAT DEVELOPS THROUGH TONIGHT. THE MORE IMPRESSIVE
UVV ASSOCIATED WITH TROUGH LATER SUNDAY SHOULD TRIGGER REPEAT TSRA
ROUNDS FOR OUR CENTRAL AND SRN PORTIONS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY
RAINFALL TOTALS. MODELS SHOW A QUICK ONE TO TWO INCHES WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS AND FLASH FLOOD RISK WILL NEED TO BE
MONITORED IN THESE AREAS.

FOR TODAY...EXPECT THE FRONT FROM CLARKSDALE TO KTUP TO SAG TO
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN HWY 82 AND I-20 LATE THIS AFTERNOON. SUFFICIENT
INSTABILITY WILL EXIST WITH LOW LEVEL WLY FLOW TO BE SENDING
SHRA/TSRA EWD THROUGH 1.8-2.0" PWAT ENVIRONMENT. THE STALLED FRONT
FOR TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING WILL KEEP POPS WELL ABOVE NORMAL ALL
ACROSS OUR CWFA WITH INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR HEAVIER RAINS BY
SUNDAY AFTERNOON. STORM MOTIONS WILL BE INCREASING SUNDAY EVENING AS
MID LEVEL FLOW AT 500MB REACHES 30-35KTS RIGHT ALONG I-20 CORRIDOR.
7-500MB LAPSE RATES WILL ONLY BE IN THE 5C RANGE WITH MLCAPES AOB
1000J/KG AND SHOULD LIMIT THE STORM INTENSITIES SOMEWHAT. THE
FRONTAL ZONE SHOULD MOVE ABOUT A NATCHEZ TRACE AXIS BY MIDNIGHT
SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE SLIDING THROUGH SERN MS
EARLY ON MONDAY.

KEPT HIGH POPS FOR THIS MORNING IN NRN AREAS AND THEN FLIPPED BEST
POPS FOR THIS AFTN TO S/SW AREAS. MAV TEMPS GENERALLY FOLLOWED BUT
MAY NEED TO BE REDUCED IF MIDDAY RAIN DEVELOPMENT GETS WIDESPREAD
ENOUGH. HIGHS IN THE U80S APPEAR MOST LIKELY SUNDAY AS WELL. POPS
WERE ALSO BUMPED UPWARD FOR SUNDAY AFTN PERIOD TO CATEGORICAL FOR
MOST AREAS./40/

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...THE GFS/ECMWF ARE IN PRETTY
GOOD AGREEMENT OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH DEEPENING OVER THE EASTERN
CONUS ON MONDAY AND PUSHING THE COLD FRONT WELL SOUTH AND EAST OF THE
AREA. ALONG WITH THIS WILL BE COOLER/DRIER AIR AS HIGH PRESSURE
RIDGING BUILDS IN FROM A HIGH CENTERED OVER THE EASTER PLANES. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL RUN ANYWHERE FROM ABOUT 5-10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL
ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY ALONG WITH MORNING LOWS
IN THE LOW/MID 60S. THE SURFACE HIGH WILL SHIFT INTO THE OHIO VALLEY
ON TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY...WITH THE DRIER/COOLER CONDITIONS
CONTINUING ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS.

WEAK UPPER RIDGING WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA ON THURSDAY ALONG WITH
MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES...BUT EXPECT THE AREA TO REMAIN DRY
WITH PWATS REMAINING BELOW AN INCH OVER MOST OF THE AREA. MOISTURE
WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY ALONG
WITH INCREASED CHANCES FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. STUCK
PRETTY CLOSE TO GUIDANCE TEMPS/POPS THROUGH THE PERIOD./15/

&&

.AVIATION...AREAS OF MVFR CONDITIONS ERY THIS MORNING WILL RETURN TO
VFR CONDITIONS BY 14-15Z WITH BROKEN CLOUDS ABOVE 4K FEET BY THIS
AFTERNOON. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS TSRA CURRENTLY CROSSING OUR NRN
PORTIONS DEVELOP AGAIN 16Z THROUGH 01Z ESPECIALLY NRN AND CENTRAL
CWFA. GENERAL SURFACE WINDS OUTSIDE OF TSRA WILL BE WLY AT 5-10KTS
WITH SOME BRIEF HIGHER GUSTS BECOMING NLY BEHIND FRONTAL ZONE ACROSS
THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR. MVFR TO AREAS OF IFR CONDITIONS SHOULD BE
MORE WIDESPREAD LATER TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT WITH FRONT
