AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
318 PM CDT THU JUL 18 2013

.SHORT TERM...
SCATTERED STRONG STORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP FROM THE JACKSON METRO
AREA WEST AND NORTHWEST IN ASSOCIATION WITH VORTICITY MAXIMUM MOVING
WSW ACROSS AREA. RELATIVELY STEEP LOW TO MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND
HIGH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT GUSTY WINDS...
FREQUENT LIGHTNING...AND MAYBE A LITTLE HAIL WITH THESE STORMS AS
THEY BUILD SW INTO HIGH INSTABILITY AIRMASS. A FEW SEVERE STORMS MAY
STILL OCCUR...ESPECIALLY NEAR MERGERS OR WHERE BOUNDARIES INTERACT
CAUSING LOCAL UPDRAFT ENHANCEMENT. SUBSIDENCE IN WAKE OF VORTMAX HAS
KEPT CONVECTION AT BAY FARTHER TO THE EAST ACROSS EASTERN MS SO FAR.
HOWEVER...SATELLITE IMAGERY IS SHOWING SOME ENHANCED CU DEVELOPING
ACROSS PARTS OF EAST CENTRAL MS...AND LAPS INDICATES FAIRLY RAPID
DESTABILIZATION HAS OCCURRED ALONG AN AXIS FROM GLH TO QUITMAN...WITH
SBLI DOWN AROUND -7. HENCE WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS IN FOR THE EVENING
ALONG WITH A MENTION OF A STRONG STORM IN THIS AREA.

DO NOT EXPECT THE COVERAGE OR INTENSITY OF CONVECTION LATER TONIGHT
THAT WE SAW MOVE W FROM AL LAST NIGHT...BUT GIVEN PROXIMITY OF UPPER
LOW CENTER TO OUR SW WILL KEEP SLGT CHANCE POPS IN ALL NIGHT. MODELS
SHOW VERY LITTLE CHANGE TO OVERALL WEATHER PATTERN NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS AS UPPER LOW TAKES UP RESIDENCE OVER SOUTH CENTRAL LA...AND
SPOKES OF ENERGY ROTATE AROUND IT AND INCITE SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPMENT.
GREATEST POPS WILL BE DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING BUT WILL CERTAINLY
NOT BE ABLE TO RULE OUT CONVECTION AT PRETTY MUCH ANY TIME. AS HAS
BEEN RECENT TREND...GFS POPS SEEM TO LOW AND WERE RAISED 10-20 PCT
MOST AREAS/PERIODS THROUGH SAT. LAPSE RATES DO NOT LOOK QUITE AS
FAVORABLE FOR INTENSE CONVECTION NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS GIVEN A DEG OR
TWO OF WARMING IN MID LEVELS...BUT WILL NEED TO ANALYZE OBSERVATIONAL
DATA FOR ENHANCED AREAS OF MICROBURST POTENTIAL IN NEAR TERM.

.LONG TERM...
STATUS QUO PRETTY MUCH HOLDS INTO EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK AS
WEAKNESS/UPPER LOW MEANDERS AROUND AND KEEPS SCATTERED CONVECTION
AROUND. 12Z MEDIUM RANGE MODELS IMPLY SOME POTENTIAL FOR A BIT OF A
CHANGE IN SETUP TOWARD MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS THERMAL RIDGE DROPS
INTO AREA AND UPPER RIDGE BUILDS TO OUR W. IF THIS WERE TO PAN
OUT...COULD SEE SOME TRULY HOT SUMMER WEATHER DEVELOP ACROSS THE
REGION FOR REALLY THE FIRST TIME THIS SEASON. JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP
AN EYE ON AT THIS POINT.

&&

.AVIATION...
TSRA IS ONGOING ACROSS THE MS DELTA REGION AND CENTRAL MS AND WILL
MOVE INTO WRN AREAS THROUGH THE MID TO LATE AFTN HOURS. KGLH WILL BE
IMPACTED BY TSRA NEXT HOUR WITH LIFR CONDS LIKELY AS VIS DROPS IN
HEAVY DOWNPOURS. LIFR CONDS WILL IMPROVE BACK TO VFR BY 21Z. THE -RA
NEAR KGWO WILL CONTINUE TO LIGHTEN AND ABATE BY 1930Z. THERE IS STILL
SOME OUTSIDE CHANGE OF VCTS NEAR KJAN/KHKS THIS AFTN AND WILL
CONTINUE WORDING IN TAFS. STORMS WILL DIMINISH THROUGH THE EARLY TO
MID EVENING IN THE WEST. FOG POTENTIAL HAS INCREASED WITH SEVERAL
SITES RECEIVED GOOD RAIN AMOUNTS TODAY. MVFR FOG/BR AT MOST LOCATIONS
08-14Z WITH IMPROVEMENT TO VFR THEREAFTER. ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS
AND STORMS IS LIKELY TOMORROW AND WILL PLACE VCTS IN TAFS FOR THE
AFTN PERIOD. /ALLEN/
