AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1039 AM CDT SUN MAR 31 2013

.UPDATE...

...STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON...

RAIN SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO SKIRT TO THE EAST
BETWEEN I-20 AND HWY 82 CORRIDORS IN CENTRAL AND EAST MISSISSIPPI
THIS HOUR. HOWEVER, OUR ATTENTION WILL FOCUS ON THE INCOMING STRONG
TO SEVERE LINEAR TSTORM COMPLEX STRETCHING FROM LITTLE ROCK, AR INTO
EAST TEXAS.

THIS LINE IS ORIENTED ALONG A COLD FRONT PUSHING SOUTHEAST IN
ASSOCIATION WITH A NRN STREAM H5 S/WV TROUGH AND WILL MOVE INTO NW
ZONES NEAR 11AM. PROGRESSING FURTHER, THE COMPLEX SHOULD BE NEAR THE
NATCHEZ TRACE PKWY CORRIDOR 1-4PM AND INTO THE I-59 CORRIDOR 3-7PM.
THE MORE POTENT PORTION OF THIS LINE WILL FAVOR AREAS ALONG AND WEST
OF GRENADA MS TO HATTIESBURG MS LINE. LOCATIONS IN NE LA AND FAR SW
MS WILL HAVE THE GREATER RISK OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS CAPABLE OF
DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS. COMBINATION OF
BEST SFC BASED INSTABILITY (700-1500 J/KG)...EFFECTIVE DEEP LAYER
SHEAR (~30-40 KT) AND BEST H7-H5 LAPSE RATES BASED ON RAPID REFRESH
OUTPUT AND CURRENT OBS WILL BE ALIGNED IN THESE LOCATIONS AND
ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF I-20 WHERE GREATEST CAPE RESERVOIR WILL BE
AVAILABLE. FARTHER EAST, LOW-LVL MOISTURE QUALITY IS MORE MARGINAL
WITH CURRENT DEWPOINTS IN THE MID TO UPPER 50S WITH SLOW UPWARD
MODIFICATION THROUGH THE AFTN. GIVEN THIS, MADE A SLIGHT SPATIAL
ADJUSTMENT TO HWO/GRAPHICS ON RISK AREAS. THE CONVECTIVE LINE WILL
PUSH THROUGH THE REGION BY THIS EVENING BUT THE COLD FRONT LOOKS TO
STALL NEAR THE I-10 CORRIDOR, ALLOWING FOR CONTINUED RAIN CHANCES
INTO MONDAY FOR SOUTHERN AREAS. MORE ON THIS IN THE AFTN PACKAGE.

FOR FORECAST ELEMENTS THIS UPDATE, UPPED POPS TO NEAR OR AT 100
PERCENT FOR THE ENTIRE AREA TODAY AND INCREASED QPF VALUES. UPDATED
PRODUCTS ARE ALREADY OUT. /ALLEN/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 415 AM CDT SUN MAR 31 2013/

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...IT WILL BE A RATHER WET
EASTER SUNDAY FOR THE ARKLAMISS. SURFACE ANALYSIS HAD A STALLED
FRONT WELL NORTH OF OUR CWA ACROSS NORTHERN ARKANSAS AND CENTRAL
TENNESSEE BUT NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND A SUBTLE DISTURBANCE WAS
GENERATING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALREADY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE
HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY/RUC ANALYSIS SHOWED ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE MOVING INTO CENTRAL ARKANSAS AND A MORE POTENT SHORTWAVE
UPSTREAM OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS THAT WILL SWING ACROSS THE REGION
LATER TODAY. THESE DISTURBANCES INCLUDING THE RIGHT REAR QUAD OF AN
80KT JET STREAK WILL COMBINE WITH DAYTIME HEATING AND AN INCREASE IN
DEEP MOISTURE TO PRODUCE NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
OUR AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE 00Z JAN SOUNDING SHOWED A
PW OF 1.09IN AND SURFACE DEW POINTS WERE RUNNING IN THE MID 50S. BY
AFTERNOON PWS ARE PROGGED TO BE NEAR 1.3IN WITH MID 60 DEW POINTS
NORTH TO THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR. MODELS STILL SHOW DEEP LAYER
SHEAR BELOW 25KTS ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PORTIONS OF OUR
AREA TODAY BUT GREATER SHEAR...MLCAPES NEAR 1000J/KG...MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES OF 6.5-7.0C ARE EXPECTED IN OUR SOUTHWEST BY AFTERNOON
SHIFTING EAST BY EVENING. A FEW SEVERE STORMS WITH QUARTER SIZED HAIL
AND WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF OUR AREA. STRONG STORMS WITH
SMALL HAIL AND WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE TODAY OVER OUR
NORTHERN HALF. THE MORNING RAIN AND CLOUD COVER WILL DELAY WARMING IN
OUR NORTH AND SITES MAY NOT REACH THE LOWER 70S BUT BREAKS IN THE
CLOUD COVER AND A LATER START TO CONVECTION WILL ALLOW MANY LOCATIONS
ACROSS THE SOUTH TO REACH THE UPPER 70S. THERE WON'T BE MUCH OF A
WIND SHIFT WITH THE FRONT TONIGHT WHICH IS EXPECTED TO STALL ACROSS
THE CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE AREA. THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING AND
DRIER AIR FROM THE NORTH WILL LIMIT CONVECTION ACROSS THE NORTH
TONIGHT DESPITE ANOTHER SUBTLE DISTURBANCE BUT THE PROXIMITY OF THE
BOUNDARY WILL MAINTAIN LOW CHANCES OF RAIN ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND
SOUTH TONIGHT. FOR MONDAY HAVE LEANED TOWARD THE GFS WHICH IS DRIER
FOR THE NORTHERN HALF OF OUR CWA. YET ANOTHER NORTHERN STREAM
SHORTWAVE WILL SWING ACROSS THE REGION AND SEND A STRONGER COLD FRONT
THROUGH OUR AREA. THIS COLD FRONT IS NOT SLATED TO ARRIVE UNTIL NEAR
MIDNIGHT IN THE NORTH AND CLEAR OUR SOUTHERN ZONES BY SUNRISE TUESDAY
MORNING. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A WARMER THAN NORMAL DAY MONDAY AS MOST
SITES TOP OUT IN THE MID TO UPPER 70S. WL CARRY LOW POP CENTRAL AND
SOUTH DUE TO THE STALLED BOUNDARY ACROSS THE AREA. /22/

LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY...EXPECT GENERALLY COOLER
THAN NORMAL HIGH TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK
BEFORE BECOMING NORMAL AND ABOVE FOR NEXT WEEKEND...WHILE LOWS WILL
BE GENERALLY AROUND NORMAL. CURRENT SATELLITE SHOWS THE PACIFIC
MOISTURE EXPRESS AFFECTING THE REGION...WHICH WILL BE THE CASE FOR
MOST OF THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK BEFORE DRYING OUT FOR FRIDAY INTO
THIS WEEKEND.

STARTING TUESDAY PACIFIC MOISTURE WILL BE CONTINUING OUR CHANCES OF
RAIN AS AS SERIES OF WEAK DISTURBANCES CROSSES THE REGION AHEAD OF
AN APPROACHING SOUTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVE AND ASSOCIATED CLOSED LOW
OVER THE SOUTHWEST CONUS. THERE WILL BE ENOUGH ELEVATED AND SOME
SURFACE INSTABILITY FOR PERIODS OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE
SHOWERS DURING MOST OF THE WORK WEEK. AS WE GO INTO THURSDAY THE
SHORT WAVE WILL HAVE OPENED UP AND WILL MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE REGION
WITH A SURFACE WAVE REFLECTION TO THE SOUTH. THE GFS...FORMER
NOGAPS(NAVGEM) AND ENSEMBLES WERE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH THE
FASTER MOVEMENT OF THE SHORTWAVE...WHILE THE CANADIAN AND EURO WAS A
LITTLE SLOWER. OPTED TO GO WITH THE FASTER SOLUTION. THE SHORTWAVE
WILL EXIT THE REGION ON FRIDAY AS THE LAST OF THE RAIN EXITS LATE
THURSDAY NIGHT. DRY WEATHER WILL COME BACK TO THE REGION AS UPPER
RIDGING BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION FROM THE PLAINS. THIS WILL PROVIDE
A WARMING TREND WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S FOR THIS WEEKEND. LOWS DURING
THE WEEK WILL BE IN THE 40S AND 50S.

FOR POPS AND TEMPS WENT WITH A BLEND OF ENSEMBLES...HPC
GUIDANCE...MEX AND GMOS GUIDANCE./17/

&&

.AVIATION...SHOWERS ARE MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF
THE AREA TODAY AND THIS WILL BRING TEMPO IFR/MVFR TO GTR. EXPECT
MVFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL AT MOST SITES THIS MORNING INTO THE EARLY
AFTERNOON HOURS...BUT A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE
FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. EXPECT
IFR CONDITIONS TO MOVE INTO GWO/GLH BY EARLY AFTERNOON WITH THE
SHOWERS AND STORMS AFFECTING THE REMAINING SITES BY MID TO LATE
AFTERNOON. MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS IN LOW CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. /15/
