AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
356 PM CDT TUE AUG 6 2013

.DISCUSSION...ANTICYCLONIC FLOW WILL BE AMPLIFIED IN THE SHORT
TERM AS MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILDS INTO THE REGION FROM THE
WEST. DEVELOPING RIDGING WILL LIMIT AFTERNOON CONVECTION OVER WRN
ZONES...LEAVING THE BEST CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND TSTMS OVER ERN AREAS
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. THIS
PATTERN WILL ALSO RESULT IN HOTTER TEMPERATURES WITH A LARGE PORTION
OF THE FORECAST AREA BETWEEN 28-30 DEGS C AT 925 MB WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON...THE HIGHER READINGS OBSERVED THE FARTHER WEST YOU GO.
THE HEAT ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT THROUGH WEDNESDAY FOR NOW
BUT MAY BE EXTENDED AT A LATER DATE. EARLIER FORECAST THINKING
REMAINS ON TRACK. THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION IS ATTACHED.

SHORT TERM...MAIN CONCERN OVER NEXT TWO DAYS WILL BE THE HEAT ACROSS
CENTRAL AND WESTERN LOCATIONS AS HEAT INDICES REACH 103-108F AND
SOME STRONG STORM POTENTIAL IN THE EAST DURING EACH AFTERNOON.

LIKE YESTERDAY, CONTINUED SUBTLE S/WV TROUGHING IN NW FLOW AROUND
THE NE PERIPHERY OF THE H7-H3 RIDGE WILL TRICKLE ACROSS NE MS THIS
AFTN. THIS EXTRA LIFT IN CONJUNCTION WITH SUPPORTIVE INSTABILITY
WILL SUPPORT SHOWERS AND STORMS ONCE AGAIN. FEEL OVERALL COVERAGE
WILL GENERALLY BE CONFINED EAST I-55. SOME STORMS COULD AGAIN BE
STRONG WITH 40-50 MPH GUSTS AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS WITH PWATS STILL
QUITE ELEVATED. IT IS ALSO NOT IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOME STORMS TO BECOME
BRIEFLY SEVERE WITH SOME INDICATIONS OF VERTICAL TOTALS IN NE MS
APPROACHING 27-28C AND OUTFLOW MERGERS. HOWEVER, THIS RISK WILL BE
HIGHLY ISOLATED AND WILL NOT SPECIFICALLY MENTION IT IN HWO/GRAPHICS
AND WILL MAINTAIN THE STRONG STORM WORDING. ACTIVITY WILL WANE
THROUGH THE EVENING AS WE SLOWLY COOL OVRNGT.

THE OTHER MAIN STORY IS THE HEAT FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND ESPECIALLY
TOMORROW. THE HEAT ADVISORY HAS BEEN EXTENDED THROUGH AT LEAST
WEDNESDAY EVENING AND COULD BE EXTENDED INTO THURSDAY. CENTRAL AND
WESTERN AREAS WILL BE UNDER GREATER INFLUENCE OF SUPPRESSIVE RIDGING
AND SEE LESS CLOUDS/RAIN. TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE MID TO
UPPER 90S AND WITH HIGH RELATIVE HUMIDITY...HEAT INDICES WILL REACH
THE 103-108F REALM THIS AFTN. IN ADDITION... MOST AREAS WILL
STRUGGLE TO FALL BELOW 75F OVRNGT INTO WED MRNG, CONTINUING THE HEAT
STRESS.

FOR WEDNESDAY...SLIGHTLY HOTTER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED AS SOME
LOCATIONS IN FAR WESTERN ZONES WILL APPROACH THE 100F MARK AS THE
RIDGE STRENGTHENS OVER TX/LA. HEAT INDICES WILL RANGE FROM THE
104-110F REALM FOR 2-4 HOURS FOR AREAS HIGHLIGHTED IN THE HEAT
ADVISORY. DON'T FEEL THAT AREAS IN S MS WILL REACH CRITERIA WITH
SLIGHTLY LOWER TEMP/DEW POINT COMBOS. SHOWERS/STORMS WILL BE PUSHED
A BIT MORE EAST WITH LOWER RAIN CHANCES ACROSS GOOD PORTION OF THE
REGION. A FEW PULSE STORMS AGAIN COULD BE STRONG GIVEN ROBUST
SURFACE HEATING. THIS ACTIVITY TOO, WILL DIMINISH WED EVENING.
/ALLEN/

THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

THE HOT SUBTROPICAL RIDGE WILL BE THE PRIMARY INFLUENCE ON ARKLAMISS
WEATHER FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND. IT IS
POSSIBLE THAT HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA WILL CONTINUE TO BE MET THURSDAY
AS THE GFS/ECMWF INDICATE ONLY VERY SLIGHT WEAKENING/COOLING AND
CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO BE LIMITED --- WILL THUS CONTINUE TO
MENTION HEAT STRESS AND THE POSSIBILITY FOR MORE HEAT ADVISORIES IN
THE HWO/GRAPHICS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK.

GLOBAL MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THAT THE RIDGE WILL BECOME MORE
SUPPRESSED GOING INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE OVERALL PATTERN
AMPLIFIES...WITH RIDGING EXPECTED OVER THE WESTERN/CENTRAL CONUS
AND TROUGHING OVER THE EAST. THE ECMWF SHOWS GREATER AMPLIFICATION
AND LOWER HEIGHTS OVER THE ARKLAMISS THAN THE GFS/GEFS. IF THIS
HAPPENS THEN GREATER CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS AND SLIGHTLY COOLER
TEMPERATURES MIGHT BE EXPECTED EARLY NEXT WEEK...BUT GIVEN THE
STRENGTH OF THE RIDGE CURRENTLY IN PLACE...SUCH BREAK DOWN IN THE
RIDGE IS FAR FROM CERTAIN.

CONCERNING CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL: EXPECT GREATER COVERAGE OF MAINLY
DIURNAL SHOWER/TSTM ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE TO BE OVER NORTHERN AND
EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS FOR LATE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND.
AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS STILL EXPECTED TO MOVE WESTWARD ACROSS THE
NORTHERN GULF AND THIS COULD HELP TO ENHANCE CONVECTIVE COVERAGE OVER
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS THIS WEEKEND. AS PREVIOUSLY
MENTIONED...CONVECTIVE COVERAGE MAY ALSO INCREASE IF THE RIDGE
BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN AND ALLOWS THE WESTERLIES TO SHIFT FARTHER
SOUTH INTO THE REGION. /EC/

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS ONGOING THIS AFTERNOON AND EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. ANOTHER AFTERNOON OF
SHRA/TSRA ONGOING MAINLY EAST OF I-55. THIS WILL BRING BRIEF MVFR TO
IFR CIGS/VIS TO SITES THAT SEE A STORM. THESE STORMS WILL DIMINISH
THROUGH THE EVENING. SOME LIGHT PATCHY FOG MAY AGAIN BE POSSIBLE BUT
SIGNIFICANT RESTRICTIONS TO CEILINGS OR VIS NOT EXPECTED. VFR
CONDITIONS RESUME THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY. /28/
