NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
919 AM CDT TUE SEP 24 2013

.UPDATE...A SEMI-ORGANIZED COMPLEX OF VERY HEAVY RAINFALL IS
OCCURRING ALONG A SWATH FROM EUDORA ARKANSAS TOWARDS YAZOO CITY THIS
MORNING THAT HAS RESULTED IN FLASH FLOODING. HOURLY RAINFALL RATES
WITH THIS COMPLEX HAVE BEEN ON THE ORDER OF 2-3 INCHES AND EVEN
HIGHER AMOUNTS BEING OBSERVED. THE HEAVY RAIN RISK RESULTING IN FLASH
FLOODING WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS NORTH OF INTERSTATE
20. THIS SWATH WILL LIKELY CONTINUE ACROSS YAZOO COUNTY EASTWARD
INTO HOLMES/MADISON AND ATTALA AND FARTHER EASTWARD TO THE STATE
LINE THROUGH THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS FOR NE AREAS OF
MS. WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE...THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR A NARROW RAIN
ACCUMULATION SWATH OF 2.5 TO 3.5 INCHES WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS
WHERE THE HIGH PRECIP RATES OCCUR WITHIN THE COMPLEX. HAVE INCREASED
RAINFALL TOTAL AMOUNTS IN OFFICIAL FORECAST AND UPDATED THE
HWO/GRAPHICS ON THE MAIN HOMEPAGE TO REFLECT THIS CHANGE. IN
ADDITION...WILL GO AHEAD AND PUT OUT A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR NORTH
AND EAST AREAS ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE HEAVY RAIN AXIS THROUGH
TONIGHT. RAIN WILL TAPPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVENING AS A WEAK FRONT MOVES THROUGH.

THIS COMPLEX IS BEING ADDED BY A SURGE IN MOISTURE THAT OCCURRED
OVERNIGHT /PWATS ~2"/ AND MODEST S/WV TROUGH FORCING PIVOTING INTO
THE REGION. SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 20...FORCING IS LESS AND THE
CONVECTIVE LINE WILL BE MORE BROKEN AND LESS ORGANIZED. HOWEVER...A
QUICK HEAVY DOWNPOUR RESULTING IN A QUICK 1-2 INCHES FROM THIS
ACTIVITY AS IT SLOWLY MOVES EAST WILL BE LIKELY THIS AFTN FOR SOUTHERN
AREAS. DRIER AIR WILL FILTER IN ACROSS THE REGION BY TONIGHT AND
EFFECTIVELY END ALL RAIN.

UPDATED PRODUCTS ARE OUT AND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE
FORTHCOMING SHORTLY. AN UPDATED AVIATION CAN BE FOUND DIRECTLY
BELOW. /ALLEN/

THROUGH THE LATE MRNG AND AFTN HOURS. ALL SITES WILL BE IMPACTED BY
SHRA/TSRA TODAY AS THE SEMI-ORGANIZED COMPLEX MOVES ACROSS THE
REGION. MVFR CONDS WILL PREVAIL BY MID-AFTN BUT IFR CONDS LIKELY IN
HEAVY DOWNPOURS. WINDS WILL BE FROM THE SE AHEAD OF THE COMPLEX AND

KEMPER-
946 AM CDT TUE SEP 24 2013

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A DEVELOPING LINE OF HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL
AND WEST MISSISSIPPI WILL BRING TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS TO THE REGION
THIS MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. STRONGER PORTIONS OF THIS LINE
WILL BE CAPABLE OF HOURLY RAINFALL RATES NEAR 2 TO 3 INCHES PER HOUR.
THIS COULD RESULT IN DANGEROUS FLASH FLOODING IF STORMS MOVE OVER THE
SAME GROUND REPEATEDLY. RAINFALL TOTALS ALONG A NARROW SWATH ACROSS
NORTH-CENTRAL AND EAST-CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI COULD REACH AS HIGH 5-7
INCHES WITH LESSER AMOUNTS ON THE FRINGES OF THIS SWATH. LOW SPOTS
AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS WILL BE THE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO HIGH WATER
ISSUES.

IN ADDITION... A FEW STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS MORNING
AND AFTERNOON ASSOCIATED WITH THIS COMPLEX. THE MOST INTENSE STORMS
COULD CONTAIN WIND GUSTS OF 40 TO 50 MPH. HEAVY DOWNPOURS CAN BE MOST
CERTAINLY ANTICIPATED WITH THE STRONG STORMS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

THE PROBABILITY FOR WIDESPREAD HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS LOW.

.SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...
THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...HAM RADIO OPERATORS...AND
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL IN SUPPORT OF SEVERE WEATHER
OPERATIONS...MAY BE NEEDED TODAY FOR FLASH FLOODING CONCERNS.
