AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
747 AM CDT MON AUG 11 2014

.UPDATE...INCREASED POPS SUBSTANTIALLY ALONG THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR
GIVEN LATEST RADAR TRENDS. HAVE ALSO REDUCE HOURLY TEMPS AND OVERALL
MAX HIGHS FOR THE SAME REGION.

.DISCUSSION...NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH HIGH RAINFALL
RATES OF 2-3 INCHES PER HOURS ARE TRAINING OVER THE MS DELTA. THIS
ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE HWY 82 CORRIDOR THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS AS INSTABILITY AND DEEP MOISTURE COMBINES WITH A MORE
CONCENTRATED SHORTWAVE TROUGH LOCATED OVER THE OZARKS. WILL CONTINUE
TO MONITOR FOR FLASH FLOODING RISK WITH THIS ACTIVITY. THE COMBINATION
OF LIFT AND SUPPORTING THERMO ENVIRONMENT WILL AID MORE DEVELOPMENT
THROUGH THE DAY WITH SOME TSTORMS BEING STRONG TO SEVERE. SEE
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FOR MORE DETAILS.

TEXT AND GRAPHIC UPDATES WILL BE OUT SHORTLY. /ALLEN/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 348 AM CDT MON AUG 11 2014/

SHORT TERM...MAIN FOCUS TODAY WILL AGAIN BE ON THE HEAT/HUMIDITY AS
WELL AS MORE AFTERNOON STORMS...SOME OF WHICH MAY BECOME SEVERE.
DESPITE HAVING A GOOD PORTION OF THE AREA WORKED OVER BY STORMS
YESTERDAY...THE ATMOSPHERE IS SETUP TO RELOAD AND ONCE AGAIN
DESTABILIZE. THERE CONTINUES TO BE A SUBTLE SFC BOUNDARY ACROSS THE
AREA THAT HAS BEEN LEFTOVER BY STORMS THE LAST TWO DAYS. THIS
FEATURE IS GENERALLY SITUATED FROM SE MS AND EXTENDS UP TOWARD THE
ARKLATEX. WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS MORNING IS THAT THERE EXISTS
ANOTHER BOUNDARY...THE ACTUAL SFC FRONT...AND IT EXTENDS FROM W-E
ACROSS N OK/AR. E OK AND W AR IS WHERE THESE FEATURES MEET AND IS
THE SOURCE REGION FOR OUR LOW LEVEL MOISTURE RECOVERY. A SOLID 350K
850MB THETA E AXIS ORIGINATES HERE AND IS PROGGED TO EXPAND
EASTWARD INTO THE CWA TODAY AHEAD OF THE SFC FRONT. THERE ALSO
EXISTS A DECENT LOW LEVEL THERMAL AXIS WITHIN THE I-20 CORRIDOR TO
OUR WEST. THE COMBINATION OF THE ABOVE FEATURES WILL PROMOTE SFC
TEMPS WARMING TO 93-95 AND SFC DEWPTS HOLDING AROUND 72-75. THIS
WILL RESULT IN HI'S OF 100-105 FROM MIDDAY INTO THE AFTERNOON BEFORE
STORMS KNOCK TEMPS DOWN. ADDITIONALLY...SUCH CONDITIONS WILL SUPPORT
HIGH INSTABILITY AS SLIGHTLY STEEPER LAPSE RATES LOOK TO SPREAD OVER
SOME OF THE CWA. EXPECTATIONS ARE FOR SBCAPE TO NEAR 3500 J/KG. OF
NOTE IS A WELL DEFINED S/WV MOVING ACROSS OK WHICH IS ACTING ON OUR
MOISTURE SOURCE REGION AND FIRING CONVECTION THIS AM. IT APPEARS
MOST OF THE INGREDIENTS WILL COME TOGETHER BY AFTERNOON FOR STORMS
TO FIRE AND EVOLVE E/SE INTO EARLY EVENING. WITH WILL OCCUR AHEAD OF
THE SFC FRONT AND IN TANDEM WITH THE MIDLEVEL WAVE. GUIDANCE
INDICATES THAT NEAR 20KTS OF 0-6KM SHEAR WILL EXIST BY LATER IN THE
DAY WHICH SHOULD HELP TO ORGANIZED UPDRAFTS INTO MULTI-CELL
CLUSTERS. DUE TO A FAVORABLE THERMO ENVIRONMENT DEVELOPING BY THIS
TIME...EXPECT A DECENT ROUND OF STRONG/SVR STORMS BETWEEN 3-9PM WITH
DAMAGING WINDS THE MAIN THREAT. HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT (2.0 TO 2.2 IN
PWS) TO THE AIRMASS WILL ALSO SUPPORT LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.

OVERNIGHT...DRIER MID LEVEL AIR ASSOCIATED WITH THE ABOVE MENTIONED
S/WV WILL STEADILY SPREAD SOUTHWARD LATE TONIGHT AND INTO TUE. THIS
WILL BEGIN LIMITING PRECIP POTENTIAL FROM N TO S DURING THIS TIME AS
AN AIRMASS CHARACTERIZED BY PWS 1.5 IN OR LESS SPREADS ACROSS THE
CWA ON TUE INTO TUE NIGHT. RAIN CHANCES ON TUE WILL MAINLY BE DURING
THE FIRST HALF OF THE PERIOD WITH LOWERING CHANCES BY LATER
AFTERNOON/EVE.

AS FOR FORECAST HAZARDS...WILL CONTINUE THE MENTION OF LIMITED HEAT
STRESS AS HI'S WILL PEAK BETWEEN 100-105 TODAY. THIS WILL BE THE
LAST DAY TO CARRY THIS. WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO HIGHLIGHT THE THREAT
FOR STRONG/SVR STORMS IN THE GRAPHICS AND HWO. /CME/

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...GFS/ECMWF IN AGREEMENT FROM
THE BEGINNING OF THIS PERIOD THROUGH FRIDAY AS SURFACE COLD FRONT
WILL HAVE BECOME STATIONARY ALONG THE GULF COAST AND DEEP LEVEL DRY
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW PREVAILS OVER THE AREA. WHILE WEDNESDAY AND TO
SOME EXTENT THURSDAY WILL BE LIMITED COOL AIR ADVECTION DAYS...FRIDAY
SHOULD SEE A 30 DEGREE DIURNAL RANGE AS THE AUGUST SUN WORKS ON THE
DRY AIR TO BOOST MAX TEMPS INTO THE MID 90S AFTER STARTING IN THE MID
60S.

MOVING INTO THE WEEKEND...THE MODELS BEGIN TO DIVERGE. WHILE THEY
BOTH AGREE THAT THE OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BEGIN BACKING UP FROM
THE SOUTHWEST BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON...THEY DIFFER ON THE HANDLING OF
THE MID LEVEL WAVE TOPPING THE LARGE RIDGE OVER THE WEST. THE ECMWF
WANTS TO KEEP THE WAVE WEEK AND MOVE THE WAVE EAST AS RIDGING TAKES
PLACE TO THE SOUTH. THE GFS DROPS THE WAVE SOUTHEAST IN THE
NORTHWEST FLOW AS A GENERAL TROFFINESS REMAINS OVER THE EASTERN
STATES. GFS SOLUTION LOOKS MORE BELIEVABLE GIVEN THE TENDENCY FOR
TROFFINESS OVER THE EASTERN STATES THIS SUMMER. THIS ALL BOILS DOWN
TO INCREASED CONVECTIVE POSSIBILITIES WHICH HAS ALSO BEEN THE NORM
FOR THIS SUMMER./26/

&&

.AVIATION...
LOOK FOR SOME PATCHY MVFR VIS CONDITIONS AROUND SUNRISE
THEN VFR FOR MOST OF THE PERIOD. THE FOCUS WILL SHIFT TO
AFTERNOON/EVE STORMS. OVERNIGHT...IN THE WAKE OF THE PRECIP...SOME
MVFR CONDITIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE JUST AHEAD OF A SFC FRONT. /CME/
