AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1040 AM CST SUN FEB 10 2013

...SEVERE STORM AND HEAVY RAIN EVENT UNDERWAY...

.DISCUSSION...LINEAR COMPLEX OF STORMS EVOLVING ACROSS THE REGION
THIS MORNING WITH ITS AIM SET ON OUR FORECAST AREA FOR THE REST OF
THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON HOURS. FOCUS WILL BE ON THE POTENTIAL FOR
DMG WINDS AND TORNADOES AS THE PRIMARY RISKS WITH A SECONDARY RISK
FOR HAIL UP TO QUARTER SIZE.

BASED ON LATEST SFC ANALYSIS AND RADAR TRENDS...ATMS IS GETTING
PRIMED ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CWA FOR A DECENT SVR EVENT. LOCATIONS
THAT CAN SEE 62-64 SFC DEWPT FOR THE REST OF TODAY WILL HAVE THE
MAIN SVR POTENTIAL AS THIS WILL SUPPORT SFC BASED CONVECTION. LATEST
INDICATIONS IS THAT SUCH SFC MOISTURE WILL NOT MAKE IT AS FAR NORTH
IN ADVANCE OF THE CONVECTIVE LINE AS EARLIER THOUGHT. DUE TO
THIS...SVR RISK ACROSS THE NORTHERN 1/3RD IS LIMITED...FOCUS HERE IS
MORE ON HVY RAIN WITH SOME STRONG WINDS AND LOW END HAIL. THE I-20
CORRIDOR AND THE SW/S-CENTRAL SEEM MORE PRIMED TO GET THE
COLLOCATED SFC BASED INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THE LINE TO REALIZED THE
POTENTIAL AND SEE THE MAIN SVR WX. TIMING OF THIS EVENT FITS WELL
WITH MAX SFC HEATING ACROSS AND THE COLLOCATION OF MODERATE
INSTABILITY AND HIGH WIND SHEAR. THE BULLSEYE OF THE BEST PARAMETERS
WILL BE JUST TO THE SW/S OF THE CWA TODAY WITH PLACES MY SOUTHERN
1/2 IN THE PRIME (NORTHERN GRADIENT) OF ALL THE MAIN SVR WX
INGREDIENTS. THIS ALSO IS SUPPORTED BY RADAR TRENDS. THE SE PART OF
THE CWA IS MORE OF A CHALLENGE AS THE BEST LIFT LOOKS TO LIFT AWAY
FROM THE AREA. HOWEVER...THE WELL ORGANIZED QLCS MAY MAKE UP FOR
THAT. AT THIS TIME...WILL KEEP A SVR RISK GOING FOR THAT AREA...BUT
HAVE IT A NOTCH BELOW WHAT WE ARE EXPECTING FOR THE CENTRAL AND SW
AREAS.

DISCRETE ACTIVITY IN ADVANCE OF THE LINE MAY BE TOUGH TO COME BY
BASED OFF LATEST DATA. HOWEVER...THE QLCS NATURE OF THE LINE IS
WORRISOME AS IT WILL TRANSLATE ACROSS A PRIMED ATMS. THIS LINE WILL
POSE BOTH A DMG WIND/TOR RISK WITH EVENT A STRONG TORNADO POSSIBLE
WITH THE MOST NASTY BOWING LINE SEGMENTS THAT EVOLVE. A HIGH END
WIND GUST IS ALSO POSSIBLE. THE LATEST GRAPHICAST ILLUSTRATES OUR
LATEST THINKING WITH THE MAIN TIMING BROKEN DOWN.

AS FOR HEAVY RAIN...THIS ACTIVITY IS VERY EFFICIENT AND IS PRODUCING
1-2 INCHES IN AN HOUR OR LESS. WE ARE BEING SAVED BY THE FACT THAT
THE LINE IS PROGRESSIVE. IF ANY SEGMENT SLOWS/HANGS UP...THEN THE
RISK FOR FLASH FLOODING WILL DRAMATICALLY INCREASE. WE WILL HAVE TO
KEEP AN EYE ON THE TRACE CORRIDOR AS THAT MAY BE A ZONE WHERE THE
BEST RAINS MAY BE. DUE TO THIS...PULLED SOME HIGHER QPF BACK TO THE
SW. /CME/

.AVIATION...MIX OF MVFR/IFR/LIFR ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING. LINE
OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS MOVING ACROSS LOCATIONS GENERALLY WEST OF
THE MS RIVER. SHOWERS AHEAD OF THIS LINE MOVING ACROSS THE REST OF
THE REGION. STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND MOVE ACROSS ALL TAF
SITES TODAY THROUGH 00Z. KHBG/KPIB AND MAYBE KMEI WONT SEE THE
HEAVIEST STORMS UNTIL AFTER 00Z. REDUCED VIS AND CEILINGS WILL
PREVAIL DURING ALL STORMS...ESPECIALLY +TSRA. COLD FROPA WILL MOVE
THROUGH TONIGHT WITH VFR CONDITIONS RETURNING MOSTLY TO KGLH/KGWO BY
