AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1003 PM CDT SUN APR 13 2014

.UPDATE...

EVENING AREA RAOB ANALYSES REVEAL PLUME OF VERY RICH GULF MOISTURE
BEGINNING TO SURGE INLAND OVER LA AHEAD OF A STRONG COLD FRONT WITH
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. HOWEVER...VERY DRY MID LEVEL AIR INDICATED BY
JAN/LIX SOUNDINGS SHOW QUITE A BIT OF MOISTENING STILL NEEDS TO TAKE
PLACE. LATEST HRRR GUIDANCE HAS BEEN INDICATING THAT MOISTURE/
INSTABILITY WILL INCREASE SUFFICIENTLY FOR A CONVECTIVE SYSTEM TO
MOVE ACROSS NORTHERN/WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS LATE TONIGHT
AND BRING A POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER AND EVENTUALLY FLOODING AS
THE OUTFLOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYSTEM STALLS. IT SEEMS TO BE LOCKING
ONTO AN AREA ALONG THE I-20 CORRIDOR FROM NEAR RAYVILLE TO JACKSON
FOR HEAVIEST BAND OF RAINFALL (PERHAPS UP TO AROUND 5 INCHES BY EARLY
MORNING)...WHICH COULD HAPPEN GIVEN VEERING LOW LEVEL WIND PROFILES
AND INCREASINGLY UNIDIRECTIONAL DEEP LAYER FLOW IN EXIT REGION OF
SUBTROPICAL JET STREAM. HAVE NOT MADE ANY SIGNIFICANT ADJUSTMENTS TO
THE FORECAST AND WILL KEEP FLOOD WATCH CONFIGURATION THE SAME FOR
NOW. /EC/

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 349 PM CDT SUN APR 13 2014/

.PERIODS OF POTENT STORMS AND HEAVY RAINFALL EXPECTED STARTING LATE
TONIGHT...

SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)...

BUSY FORECAST IN THE SHORT TERM HIGHLIGHTED BY THE POTENTIAL FOR
SEVERE WEATHER AND SOME HEAVY RAINS TONIGHT INTO TUE NIGHT..FOLLOWED
BY THE POTENTIAL FOR A MID APRIL FREEZE ACROSS A GOOD PORTION OF THE
AREA TUE NIGHT. BREEZY CONDITIONS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS THE REGION
THIS AFTERNOON AS EXPECTED AND WILL CONTINUE THE WIND ADVISORY FOR
THE DELTA INTO THIS EVENING.

FOR TONIGHT...THE EVENING WILL START OFF RATHER QUIET AS CLOUDS
INCREASE AHEAD OF A DIGGING SYSTEM OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS. A
WEAKENING UPPER LEVEL SPEED MAX AT THE BASE OF THE TROUGH WILL
APPROACH THE ARKLAMISS TONIGHT...CONCURRENT WITH A NORTHWARD SURGING
MOISTURE/INSTABILITY TONGUE. FORCING FOR ASCENT WILL BE SUFFICIENT
FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO BEGIN OVERSPREADING THE REGION FROM
THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST AS WE HEAD TOWARD MIDNIGHT...SPREADING EAST
THROUGH THE NIGHT. HI-RES MODELS CONTINUE TO HINT AT POTENTIAL FOR
SOME OF THE ACTIVITY ON THE LEADING EDGE TO BE ON THE STRONGER SIDE.
WHILE LAPSE RATES AREN'T TERRIFIC WHICH SHOULD LIMIT THE LARGE HAIL
POTENTIAL...LOW LEVEL AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO
HELP ORGANIZE SOME UPDRAFTS AND YIELD A NOCTURNAL DAMAGING WIND AND
TORNADO RISK. CURRENT AREAS HIGHLIGHTED WITH THE GREATEST RISK IN
THE INHERITED HWO/GRAPHICS LOOK GOOD AND WILL KEEP AS IS. THIS
ACTIVITY LOOKS TO PASS OFF TO THE EAST SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE.

REST OF THE DAY MONDAY...LIKE WE'VE BEEN HIGHLIGHTING...THERE LOOKS
TO BE A LULL IN THE MORE ROBUST CONVECTION DURING THE MORNING HOURS
TOMORROW ALTHOUGH AT LEAST SCATTERED SHOWER ACTIVITY SHOULD LINGER.
BY EARLY-MID AFTERNOON STOUT HEIGHT FALLS ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE
APPROACHING TROUGH WILL INVIGORATE CONVECTION ALONG AND JUST AHEAD
OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT. WHILE THE BETTER LOW LEVEL SHEAR WILL
HAVE SHUNTED EAST BY THIS TIME...SUFFICIENT LAPSE RATES COMBINED
WITH THE STRONG FORCING WILL CERTAINLY ALLOW A DAMAGING WIND AND
LARGE HAIL RISK TO DEVELOP. AND ALTHOUGH THE TORNADO RISK WILL BE
LOWER THAN TONIGHT...ITS STILL NON-ZERO...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
SOUTHEASTERN AREAS WHERE BETTER INSTABILITY SHOULD BE REALIZED. ONCE
AGAIN...I'M NOT SURE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO THE AREAL EXTENT OF THESE
HAZARDS WE HAVE HIGHLIGHTED IS NEEDED AND WILL KEEP THINGS AS IS. BY
MID TO LATE EVENING THE MODELS ARE CONSISTENT SHOWING THE COLD FRONT
PASSING EAST OF THE AREA BRINGING THE SEVERE WEATHER RISK TO AN END.

AS FOR THE HEAVY RAINS...THE 12Z NAM AND GFS BOTH SHOW A SWATH OF
1.5-2.5 IN EXTENDING FROM VKS TO CBM WITH LOWER AMOUNTS TO THE NORTH
AND SOUTH OF THIS LINE THROUGH TUE MORNING. 12Z EURO HAS MORE OF A
WIDESPREAD 1.5-2 IN ACROSS THE FA WITH SOME HIGHER AMOUNTS ACROSS
EASTERN MS. LOCAL WRF SHOWS HIGHEST SWATHS OF PRECIP (GREATER THAN 2
IN) ACROSS AREAS GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE
THROUGH TOMORROW AFTERNOON. WHILE CONFIDENCE IS NOT OVERLY HIGH ON
JUST WHERE THE HIGHEST RAINFALL TOTALS WILL COME IN...IT DOES LOOK
LIKE THE MOST PROBABLE AREAS WILL BE ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE TRACE
AND HAVE HOISTED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THESE AREAS STARTING
TONIGHT AND CONTINUING INTO MON NIGHT. WHILE THE LARGER SCALE MODELS
ARE HESITANT SHOWING MUCH MORE THAN 1 TO PERHAPS 2.5
INCHES...CONVECTIVE NATURE OF THE ACTIVITY TONIGHT AND AGAIN
TOMORROW AFTERNOON SHOULD EASILY LEAD TO HIGHER AMOUNTS IN CERTAIN
AREAS. THIS WILL EASILY POSE A FLASH FLOOD RISK IF THESE HEAVIER
SWATHS FALL IN VICINITY OF ALREADY SWOLLEN CREEKS AND RIVERS.

THE RAINS LOOK TO FINALLY PUSH EAST OF THE REGION BY TUE MORNING
WITH DRY AIR FILTERING IN. WE COULD BE LOOKING AT THE NEED FOR A
WIND ADVISORY LATE MON NIGHT INTO TUE MORNING IN WAKE OF THE FRONT
AS A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT DEVELOPS. WE'LL BE KEEPING AN EYE ON
THAT SITUATION.

CHILLY HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE FIRMLY IN PLACE WED MORNING SETTING UP
IDEAL RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL DEFINITELY
HAVE A CHANCE TO FALL NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING FOR MANY
AREAS...ESPECIALLY THE FURTHER NORTH YOU GO. A LATE SEASON FREEZE
WARNING MAY VERY WELL BE NEEDED FOR THIS TIME. STAY TUNED. /BK/

LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)...

CONDITIONS WILL THANKFULLY BE WARMING UP ON WEDNESDAY...ALTHOUGH IT
WILL PROBABLY TAKE UNTIL THURSDAY TO MAKE IT BACK CLOSE TO AVERAGE
FOR THE LATTER HALF OF APRIL. HIGHER CLOUDS WILL INCREASE SOME
DURING THIS TIME FRAME AS UPPER LEVEL TROUGH ENERGY AGAIN DIGS A BIT
BACK TO OUR WEST.

THE OPERATIONAL GFS MODEL AND A FAIR NUMBER OF ITS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS
STILL SEEM TO BE MOST AGGRESSIVE IN RESOLVING THIS NEXT BATCH OF
INCOMING TROUGH ENERGY IN SIZABLE RAIN CHANCES OVER AN EXTENDED
PERIOD FROM LATE THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. CONVERSELY...THE MORE
TRUSTWORTHY LONG RANGE MODEL PERFORMER WHICH IS THE EUROPEAN MODEL
IS NOT IS NOT SO GUNG HO. PART OF THE REASON (BEYOND PAST
PERFORMANCE LOGIC) TO THINK THE EURO HAS THE RIGHT IDEA IS THAT THE
INCOMING TROUGH SEEMS TO BE LOOSELY LINKED TO A GLOBAL EQUATORIAL
OSCILLATION AND TRIGGERING A BULK OF CONVECTION AND MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE WAY TO THE SOUTH OF THE GULF COAST. FOR NOW I CUT BACK
MEX (GFS-BASED) POPS ALTHOUGH STILL KEEP SOME SMALL CHANCES OF RAIN
IN PLAY.

BEYOND THE END OF THE WORK WEEK THE FORECAST LOOKS MORE MUDDLED INTO
NEXT WEEKEND WITH CONFLICTING MODEL SIGNALS. HOWEVER...AT THIS POINT
THERE IS STILL POTENTIAL FOR NEXT WEEKEND TO COME AROUND WITH NO
PROSPECT OF INCLEMENT WEATHER. /BB/
