Area forecast discussion, Dec 21, 4:11 PM CST, 37 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
411 PM CST SAT DEC 21 2013

...SEVERE STORMS EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT...

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...THE MAIN CONCERN CONTINUES
TO BE IN THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO
TONIGHT. MUCH OF THE SET UP AND THINKING REMAINS THE SAME AS A NEGATIVELY
TILTED MID LEVEL TROUGH SITS TO OUR WEST ACROSS THE TEXAS PANHANDLE.
THIS WILL CONTINUE TO EJECT TO THE NORTH AND EAST THROUGH THE
EVENING. AS THIS DOES...IT WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN THE INFLUENCE OF THE
MID LEVEL RIDGE THAT HAS BEEN HOLDING ONTO OUR AREA AND HEIGHTS WILL
BEGIN TO DROP OVER THE AREA. IN ADDITION...A 1000MB SFC LOW IS
ANALYZED TO BE ELONGATED ACROSS ARKANSAS THIS AFTERNOON. AS THIS
TROUGH EJECTS EAST...THIS LOW WILL ALSO DEEPEN AS IT TRACKS NORTHEAST
ACROSS ARKANSAS. AS ALL OF THIS OCCURS AND BETTER FORCING/ASCENT
SPREADS ACROSS THE REGION...SHOWERS AND STORMS SHOULD BECOME BETTER
ORGANIZED. CURRENT RADARS HAVE BEEN SHOWING WARM ADVECTION SHOWERS
ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE AREA TODAY AND THESE WILL CONTINUE FOR
LOCATIONS EAST OF THE MAIN CONVECTIVE LINE. THIS LINE HAS GOTTEN
BETTER ORGANIZED WITHIN THE LAST HOUR OR SO AND SEVERAL WARNINGS HAVE
BEEN ISSUED JUST TO OUR WEST IN LOUISIANA.

SPC MESOANALYSIS DOESNT SHOW IMPRESSIVE INSTABILITY OVER THE AREA
WITH 500-1000 J/KG WITH BETTER MLCAPE OCCURRING IN THE SOUTHERN
SECTIONS OF THE CWA. 18Z KJAN SOUNDING CONTINUED TO SHOW A PRETTY
STOUT CAP ACROSS THE REGION AND THIS WILL CONTINUE TO HELP LIMIT
CONVECTION. HOWEVER...AS FORCING GETS STRONGER ACROSS THE
AREA...THIS CAP SHOULD WEAKEN AND ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND
STORMS. THE POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL CONTINUE
ALONG THIS LINE OF STORMS AS MESOANALYSIS SHOWS NEAR 500 M2/S2 0-1KM
HELICITY JUST ALONG THE BOUNDARY. FURTHER EAST...THERE IS LESS BUT
THIS SHOULD INCREASE THROUGH THE EVENING. WIND SHEAR IS
PLENTIFUL...WHICH SHOULDNT COME AS A SURPRISE GIVEN HOW WINDY IT HAS
BEEN TODAY. 0-1KM WIND SHEAR OF 35-45KTS IS PRESENT AND 0-6KM VALUES
NEAR 50-60KTS.  TIMING FOR THIS LINE REMAINS GENERALLY THE SAME AS
PREVIOUS WITH A LITTLE BIT OF SLOWING AS THINGS WERE SLOWER TO
DEVELOP. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE GIVEN PW VALUES
AROUND 1.5-1.8 INCHES ACROSS THE AREA. A QUICK 1 TO 2 INCHES WILL BE
POSSIBLE AS THIS LINE MOVES THROUGH. IN ADDITION...THE WIND ADVISORY
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 9PM AS STRONG WINDS REMAIN PRESENT RIGHT OFF
THE SURFACE. GOOD MIXING HAS ALLOWED THESE WINDS TO REACH THE GROUND
AND EVEN CAUSED SOME TREES TO COME DOWN ACROSS THE CWA TODAY. THESE
WINDS WILL CONTINUE ALONG WITH THE WIND ADVISORY.

MOST HI-RES MODELS SHOW THE LINE THROUGH THE CWA BY AROUND 9Z OR SO.
HOWEVER...SOME RAIN WILL LINGER BEHIND IN THE EAST/SOUTHEAST THROUGH
SUNDAY AS IT LOOKS LIKE THE BOUNDARY WILL STALL JUST TO OUR EAST.
THERE WONT BE TOO MUCH OF A DRASTIC TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE SUNDAY AS
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ON THE COOLER SIDE BUT STILL WARM IN THE
60S AND 70S. THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH WILL PUSH ACROSS THE REGION ON
SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY AND THIS WILL BRING A PUSH FOR COOLER AIR
INTO THE REGION. MONDAY SHOULD SEE TEMPERATURES A BIT MORE SEASONAL.
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE IN AT THE SFC BEHIND THIS MONDAY
NIGHT. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR LOWS BACK INTO THE 20S UNDER CLEAR SKIES.
/28/

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...LITTLE WILL CHANGE THROUGH
MID WEEK AS THE SURFACE HIGH SHIFTS INTO THE OHIO VALLEY AND HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGING WITH MAINLY CLEAR SKIES PREVAILS. THE SURFACE FLOW
WILL BECOME MORE EASTERLY AND EVENTUALLY SOUTHEASTERLY ON CHRISTMAS
DAY WITH SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPERATURES MAINLY IN THE MID/UPPER 50S.

THE GFS/ECMWF DIFFER ON THE TIMING OF A COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE
AREA ON THURSDAY WITH THE ECMWF FASTER THAN THE GFS. WITH LIMITED
MOISTURE TO WORK WITH IT LOOKS LIKE AN INCREASE CHANCE FOR LIGHT
RAINSHOWERS WITH THE BOUNDARY LATE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THE ECMWF
IS ALSO MUCH COOLER THAN THE GFS LATE IN THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.
WILL GO WITH THE COOLER ECMWF AND CUT TEMPS BELOW GUIDANCE THU-SAT.
OTHER THAN THE CUTS LATER IN THE PERIOD...STUCK PRETTY CLOSE TO
GUIDANCE TEMPS MON-WED./15/

&&

.AVIATION...A SQUALL LINE... ACCOMPANIED BY IFR/LIFR CIGS/VSBYS...IS
DEVELOPING OVER WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA LATE THIS
AFTERNOON...AND WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA TONIGHT. ABOUT
A 12-18 HR WINDOW OF VFR CATEGORY WEATHER SHOULD FOLLOW THE SQUALL
LINE FROM SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT BEFORE LOWER CIGS (MVFR CATEGORY)
DEVELOP IN STRONG COLD ADVECTION SUNDAY NIGHT. /EC/
