AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
940 AM CDT MON MAR 18 2013

.UPDATE...LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWED A NEGATIVELY TILTED UPPER TROUGH
OVER THE PLAINS...WHICH WAS PHASING IN WITH A SHORTWAVE OVER THE
ARKLATEX. A VERY SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT WAS SITUATED FROM KDFW TO KMEM.
LOWER 60S DEWPOINTS EXTENDED OVER ALL BUT THE EASTERN AREAS. SOME
GOOD FORCING AND ASCENT WAS MOVING ACROSS THE REGION WITH STRONG
STORMS ACROSS ARKANSAS AND NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. AREA SOUNDINGS
WERE SHOWING CAPES OF 1400 TO 1800...LAPSE RATES OF 8-9C...WET BULB
ZERO HEIGHTS OF AROUND 8K...ALONG WITH GOOD FLOW. THE SOUNDING AT
LIX HAD A STRONGER CAP IN THE SOUTH. SO CURRENT FORECAST LOOKS TO BE
ON TRACK AS THE LOCAL WRF SHOWS A LINER COMPLEX COMING THROUGH FOR
THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS EVENING. THE NATIONAL WRF ARW AND NMM
SHOWS THE BEST ACTIVITY ACROSS THE NORTH TODAY...WHILE THE SPC WRF
BRINGS A LINE THROUGH LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY THIS
EVENING. SO HAVE ADJUSTED HWO WITH HAIL POTENTIAL OF GOLFBALL SIZED
OR LARGER AND KEPT THE STRONG TO SEVERE POTENTIAL FOR THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. WITH PARALLEL FLOW TO THE FRONTAL POSITION...ITS GOING
BE SLOW GOING FOR THE FRONTAL MOVEMENT. SO EXPECT THE SEVERE
POTENTIAL TO EXIT THE REGION BY MIDNIGHT. CURRENT HIGHS OF THE MID
70S TO LOWER 80S WITH LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION LOOKS TO BE ON TRACK
ALONG WITH POPS./17/

./PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...420 AM CDT MON MAR 18 2013

.DISCUSSION...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...THE PRIMARY FOCUS FOR
THE SHORT TERM PERIOD WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG AND SEVERE
STORMS...PRIMARILY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS TODAY.
COMPUTER MODELS CONTINUE TO DEPICT A WARM...MOIST...AND INCREASINGLY
UNSTABLE AIRMASS SETTING UP ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE
COURSE OF THE DAY.  ALL OF THIS WILL COMBINE WITH THE INCREASED
FORCING/ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SKIMMING THE
REGION FROM THE NORTH AND LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH A COLD FRONT THAT'LL
SHIFT EAST SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE REGION LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO
TONIGHT.  AS THIS HAPPENS...IT'LL SET THE STAGE FOR SCATTERED STORMS
TO DEVELOP THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS ALONG AND AHEAD
OF THE FRONT...SOME OF WHICH COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE.

FIRST OFF THIS MORNING...A WEAK DISTURBANCE EMBEDDED IN ZONAL FLOW
ALOFT IS MOVING EAST ACROSS THE MID-SOUTH REGION...SPARKING ELEVATED
SHOWERS AND STORMS THERE.  THIS...IN ADDITION TO ONGOING STRONG WARM
ADVECTION...IS HELPING TO CAUSE SCATTERED SHOWERS TO CURRENTLY
DEVELOP ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS.  THIS PROCESS IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
DURING THE COURSE OF THE MORNING AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONTINUES
INCREASING...AND THE WEAK DISTURBANCE MOVES OUT.  MY CURRENT THOUGHT
IS THAT IT WON'T BE UNTIL DAYTIME HEATING REALLY GETS CRANKED UP
THIS AFTERNOON AND THE SURFACE LOW...NOW RESIDING NEAR THE
ARKLATEX...BEGINS LIFTING TO THE NORTHEAST IN RESPONSE TO THE UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH...THAT WE'LL SEE CHANCES FOR STORMS ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA INCREASE.  THIS...AGAIN...IN ESSENCE WILL BE WHEN THE FRONT
BEGINS IMPEDING UPON THE REGION.

THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG AND SEVERE STORMS REMAINS POSSIBLE OVER A
LARGE PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA TODAY.  HOWEVER...THE GREATEST
POTENTIAL STILL LOOKS TO RESIDE OVER LOCATIONS PRIMARILY ALONG AND
NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR AND EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 55
CORRIDOR.  MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE PLENTY OF INSTABILITY ACROSS
THE REGION...AROUND 1500J/KG ML CAPE VALUES...COUPLED WITH VERY COLD
TEMPERATURES ALOFT...VERTICAL TOTALS ON THE ORDER OF 28-30C WITH
7-9C/KM 700-500MB LAPSE RATES...AND ADEQUATE 40-50 KNOTS OF 0-6KM
WIND SHEAR.  WHILE MANY OF THESE PARAMETERS WILL BE
OBSERVED/AVAILABLE OVER MUCH OF THE REGION...DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF
A CAPPING INVERSION OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA IN ADDITION TO
THAT REGION BEING FURTHEST REMOVED FROM THE BEST DYNAMICS...CHANCES
FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS THERE AREN'T AS GOOD AS POINTS FURTHER
NORTH.  THAT SAID...THERE IS STILL A CHANCE FOR SUCH ACTIVITY ACROSS
THE SOUTH.

THINKING REMAINS THE SAME WITH HOW THINGS SHOULD PAN OUT TODAY.
FORCING/ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER TROUGH AND SURFACE COLD
FRONT SHOULD BEGIN INTERACTING WITH THE WARM...MOIST...AND UNSTABLE
AIRMASS OVER THE REGION AIDING IN THE DEVELOPING OF SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS AROUND THE DELTA BY MIDDAY.  AS THE FRONT PROGRESSES
EAST SOUTHEAST...SCATTERED ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE DEVELOPING THROUGH
THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS AND INTO LATE THIS EVENING.  THEN FINALLY
EXITING THE REGION AROUND MIDNIGHT.  THE ECMWF STILL SUGGESTS
PERHAPS A COMPLEX OF STORMS RACING EAST SOUTHEAST AFFECTING MAINLY
THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA LATER THIS AFTERNOON...WHICH I'M NOT
RULING OUT AS IT'S BEEN CONSISTENT IN THIS SOLUTION.  MUCH OF THE
HIGH-RES DATA...HOWEVER...SUGGESTS MAINLY SCATTERED CONVECTION...
SOME OF IT PRETTY ROBUST...DEVELOPING ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT
AS IT PUSHES THROUGH.  DAMAGING WIND GUSTS UP TO 70 MPH AND HAIL TO
THE SIZE OF GOLF BALLS REMAIN THE PRIMARY CONCERNS WITH THE MOST
INTENSE CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH THE POTENTIAL
FOR A TORNADO OR TWO NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION.

WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHERLY BEHIND THE FRONT LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY
TUESDAY MORNING AS HIGH PRESSURE QUICKLY BUILDS SOUTHEAST INTO THE
REGION.  MODELS HINT AT ANOTHER WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVING
INTO THE REGION OVERNIGHT TUESDAY INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING...
WHICH IS CURRENTLY ONLY EXPECTED TO BRING AN INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER
TO THE REGION DURING THIS TIME.

AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES ARE CONCERNED...TODAY SHOULD END UP BEING THE
WARMEST DAY THROUGH THIS STRETCH OF ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES AS
HIGHS RANGE FROM THE MID 70S TO THE LOWER 80S.  ALTHOUGH LOWER 80S
DO LOOK A BIT ANOMALOUS...GIVEN THE MOISTURE SURGE INTO THE
REGION...COUPLED WITH COMPRESSIONAL HEATING WITH THE FRONT MOVING IN
FROM THE WEST LATER TODAY...AND SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR MOVING IN ALOFT
WHICH WILL CAUSE THESE MORNING OVERCAST SKIES TO BECOME BROKEN TO
EVEN SCATTERED THIS AFTERNOON...TEMPERATURES COULD VERY WELL REACH
THE LOWER 80S...ESPECIALLY EAST OF INTERSTATE 55.  A NOTICEABLY
COOLER DRIER AIRMASS WILL RESIDE OVER THE REGION BY TUESDAY
MORNING...AND CONTINUE TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.  LOWS TONIGHT
WILL RANGE FROM AROUND 40 TO THE LOWER 50S.  THEN FOR TUESDAY...
HIGHS WILL BE MORE SEASONABLE AS THEY RANGE FROM THE MID 60S TO
AROUND 70...AND FINALLY COOL INTO THE UPPER 30S AND MID 40S TUESDAY
NIGHT. /19/

WEDNESDAY THRU SUNDAY...EURO AND GFS SIMILAR IN FIRST HALF OF LONG
TERM PERIOD AS BOTH HAVE BROAD NW FLOW PATTERN OVER THE REGION. BOTH
MODELS AGREE THAT A SHOT OF MID LEVEL MOISTURE WILL SPREAD OVER THE
FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY...BUT EURO ONLY SEEMS TO HAVE ENOUGH
LIFT/MOISTURE FOR LIGHT STRATIFORM RAIN ACCUMULATIONS. LIMITING
FACTOR FOR MEASURABLE RAIN WILL BE DRY AIR NEAR GROUND. FAVORED THE
EURO WITH SOME SLIGHT POPS.

DIFFERENCES MOUNT MOVING INTO THE WEEKEND BETWEEN THE EURO AND GFS
IN THE EVOLUTION OF A PAIR OF LOW AMPLITUDE WAVES THAT MOVE ACROSS
THE AREA. EURO SOMEWHAT MORE PROGRESSIVE THAN THE GFS AS IT MOVES
THE FIRST SYSTEM COMPLETELY IN AND ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FRIDAY
INTO FRIDAY NIGHT LEAVING SATURDAY DRY. PREFER THE STRONGER GFS IN
THIS SITUATION AS DECREASED AMPLITUDE OF THE FIRST WAVE SHOULD HAVE
A HARD TIME PUSHING SURFACE BOUNDARY ENTIRELY ACROSS THE AREA AND
INTO THE NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO. BOUNDARY SHOULD INSTEAD HANGUP
OVER THE REGION KEEPING THE WEATHER SOMEWHAT UNSETTLED...ESPECIALLY
AS WARM ADVECTION INCREASES AHEAD OF NEXT MORE POTENT WAVE TO MOVE
THROUGH SUNDAY. /26/

&&

.AVIATION...A MIX OF VFR/MVFR CEILINGS CAN BE EXPECTED TODAY WITH
SCATTERED TO BROKEN CUMULUS DECKS RANGING FROM 2000-4000 FEET.
ISOLATED LIGHT SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THIS MORNING BUT CONVECTION IS
EXPECTED TO BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD AND INTENSE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING HOURS AS A COLD FRONT PUSHES ACROSS THE REGION
INTERACTING WITH THE WARM...MOIST...AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS OVER THE
REGION.  THIS WILL CERTAINLY CAUSE DEGRADATIONS...PERHAPS
IFR/LIFR...IN FLIGHT STATUSES WITHIN AND IMMEDIATELY AROUND THE
AERODROME WHERE AND WHEN OBSERVED. LARGE HAIL...POSSIBLY GOLF BALL
SIZE OR HIGHER...AND WIND GUSTS AROUND 70 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH
THE MOST INTENSE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.  BEHIND THE
FRONT...WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHERLY AROUND 10 KNOTS.  OTHERWISE...
WINDS AGAIN TODAY WILL BE BREEZY FROM THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST
BETWEEN 10-15 KNOTS WITH HIGHER GUSTS. /19/03
