AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
951 PM CDT THU MAR 27 2014

.UPDATE...

CONSIDERING ISSUANCE OF A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR CENTRAL/SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. IMPRESSIVE HEAVY RAIN SET-UP WITH
SPLIT UPPER LEVEL JET STRUCTURE AND LEFT EXIT REGION OF SUBTROPICAL
JET STREAM ANCHORING CURRENT CONVECTIVE SYSTEM OVER THE AREA.
PERSISTENT UPSTREAM LOW LEVEL THETAE ADVECTION IS STRONG AND WILL
HELP TO MAINTAIN THE SYSTEM FOR MUCH OF THE NIGHT. EVENING RAOB AT
JAN WAS NOT THE MOST EFFICIENT LOOKING WITH A 1.28 PRECIPITABLE
WATER...BUT EXPECT CONTINUED MOISTENING TO MAKE THE AIRMASS MORE
SUPPORTIVE OF HEAVY RAIN. OTHERWISE...THE FORECAST IS GENERALLY ON
TRACK AND WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION POSSIBLITY OF A FEW STRONG/SEVERE
STORMS CONTINUING AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. /EC/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 355 PM CDT THU MAR 27 2014/

SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT) THE PRIMARY CONCERNS
WILL BE THE SEVERE POTENTIAL FOR LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS
EVENING AND AGAIN EARLY FRIDAY AS WELL AS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS
FOLLOWED BY THE WIND ADVISORY CURRENTLY IN EFFECT THEN POPS AND
TEMPS.

LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWED THE POLAR AND SUBTROPICAL JETS
MOVING CONFLUENTLY OVER THE SOUTHERN STREAM. A DRY SLOT WAS NOTED
BETWEEN BOTH JETS. A POLAR SHORTWAVE WAS MOVING OVER THE PLAINS. THE
ARKLAMISS REGION WAS UNDER WEST TO SOUTHWEST IN THE MID TO UPPER
LEVELS TO GOOD SOUTHERLY FLOW IN THE LOW LEVELS. SATELLITE IMAGERY WAS
ALSO PICKING UP SOME RICH MOISTURE IN THE NORTHWEST GULF OF AROUND
1.7 INCHES. AREA RADARS WERE PICKING UP SOME CONVECTION FROM THE
APPROACHING SHORT WAVE OVER THE ARKLATEX REGION. THERE HAS BEEN A FEW
STRONG STORMS THERE. BREEZY CONDITIONS WERE NOTED ACROSS THE REGION WITH
STRONGER WINDS IN THE DELTA REGION WITH GUSTS AROUND 30 KNOTS. SO WILL
MAINTAIN WIND ADVISORY UNTIL 9 PM.  DEWPOINTS ACROSS THE REGION WERE
IN THE 40S AND 50S ACROSS THE REGION.

FOR THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...EXPECT CONVECTION ACROSS THE WEST
FOR THIS AFTERNOON...WHICH WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION FOR
TONIGHT. THE LOCAL AND NATIONAL WRF MODELS SHOW THE CONVECTION
SPREADING ACROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT WITH HAIL BEING THE MAIN RISK.
WILL COLOR THE HAIL RISK MAINLY THE WESTERN AREAS IN THE HWO AND
GRAPHICAST.THIS WILL BE DUE TO THE STORMS BEING ELEVATED WITH THE
AID OF THE CONFLUENT POLAR AND SUBTROPICAL JETS WITH THE BASE OF THE
PLAINS SHORT WAVE MOVING INTO THE REGION. FOR TONIGHT SOME OF THE
MODELS CUTS OFF SOME OF THE ACTIVITY DUE TO AN MCS ALONG THE GULF
COAST OVERNIGHT. THE NATIONAL WRF MODELS SHOWS THE GULF COMPLEX
DEEPER IN THE GULF WHILE A COMPLEX CROSSES THE REGION OVERNIGHT. SO
WILL KEEP HIGH MOS POPS OVERNIGHT. PWATS WILL BE AROUND 1.6 INCHES
WHICH IS AROUND THE 99TH PERCENTILE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. THIS
COULD SPELL SOME LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS OVERNIGHT. THE LOCAL AND
NATIONAL HIGH RES MODELS ARE SHOWING 2-3 INCHES GENERALLY SOUTH OF
INTERSTATE 20. LOCAL WRF SHOWS 1-2 INCHERS IN THE NORTHWEST DELTA.

FOR FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...THINGS GET A LITTLE MORE POTENT FOR
THIS PERIOD AS WE GET A POTENT SHORT WAVE COMBINED WITH A COLD FRONT
TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION. SOME OF THE MODELS POINT TO SOME SEVERE
RISK EARLY IN THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST...WHICH WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR
THE HWO AND GRAPHICAST BEFORE THE MAIN EVENT FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING.  THE GFS HINTS WITH THE K INDEX PARAMETERS...MESO HIGH
AND OTHER FEATURES THAT AN MCS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION FOR
FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SOME OF THE FEATURES WILL BE SIG
SEVERE LAYER AROUND 40K...K-INDEX 30 PLUS...LAPSE RATE 7-8C...LI -6
TO -10...AND MLCAPES 2000-3000. 0-3KM BULK SHEAR FLUCTUATES UP AND
DOWN DURING THE DAY FROM 15 TO 35 KNOTS PERPENDICULAR TO ANYTHING
COMING IN FROM THE WEST. MODELS SOUNDINGS SHOWS SOME PRETTY LONG 40
KNOT HODOGRAPHS...WHICH MAY SPELL SOME SUPERCELLS AND SPLITTING
CELLS DURING THE PERIOD. PWATS WILL BE AROUND 1.5 INCHES...WHICH
SPELLS ANOTHER AROUND OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL...WHICH WILL HAVE TO
BE MONITORED ON TOP OF THE RAINFALL FOR THE PREVIOUS PERIOD. 0-1 KM
SHEAR STILL DOES NOT LOOK IMPRESSIVE...BUT DEEP LAYER SHEAR STILL
LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. SO THE PRIMARY RISK WILL CONTINUE TO BE LARGE
HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. WILL KEEP THE MENTION OF TORNADOES OUT OF
THE HWO FOR NOW. EXPECT THE STRONG ACTIVITY TO END BY AFTER MIDNIGHT
AS THE BEST DYNAMICS SHIFTS AWAY FROM THE REGION AS THE COLD FRONT
SWEEPS ACROSS THE EASTERN AREA. TIMING OF THE DEVELOP FOR FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL BE DIFFICULT TO ASSESS IN A GRAPHICAST. IT
WILL DEPEND ON HOW THINGS DEVELOP AFTER THE FIRST WAVE FOR TONIGHT.
WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL PROVIDE HIGHS IN THE 70S AND LOWS WILL BE A
LITTLE COOLER FOR FRIDAY NIGHT WITH MOST AREAS IN THE 50S.

FOR SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...THE FRONT WILL EXIT EAST OF THE REGION
AS WE GO INTO MUCH CALMER CONDITIONS. EXPECT THE LAST OF THE SHOWERS
TO EXIT THE EAST BY AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILDS ACROSS THE
REGION DURING THE PERIOD. TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE REGION WILL ONCE AGAIN
COOL DOWN IN THE 40S FOR SATURDAY NIGHT.

AS FAR AS TEMPS ARE CONCERN WENT GENERALLY CLOSE TO MAV AND GMOS
GUIDANCE...EXCEPT WENT WITH A BLEND OF MAV/NAM FOR TONIGHTS LOWS.

AS FAR AS POPS ARE CONCERN WENT WITH MAV GUIDANCE FOR
TONIGHT...ADJUSTED HIGHER MET GUIDANCE FOR FRIDAY AND LOWERED EURO
GUIDANCE FOR FRIDAY NIGHT. MAV LOOKED PRETTY GOOD FOR SATURDAY
MORNING. /17/

SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

BUILDING MID LEVEL RIDGE IN THE WAKE OF THE SHORTWAVE WILL DOMINATE
THE PATTERN THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK AS IT SLOWLY TRAVERSES
THE REGION. BY MONDAY AFTERNOON...RIDGE LOOKS TO PUSH TO THE EAST
WHILE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL HAVE ALREADY MOVED EAST ALLOWING
LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW TO BECOME ESTABLISHED. MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE
MOVING THROUGH THE UPPER MS VALLEY WILL DRAG A WEAK SURFACE COLD
FRONT INTO THE NORTHERN PORTIONS MONDAY NIGHT. WEAK LOW LEVEL FLOW
SHOULD ALLOW SOME MOISTURE TO POOL ALONG THE BOUNDARY AND ENOUGH
LIFT LOOKS TO BE PRESENT FOR A FEW SHOWERS. BOUNDARY CONTINUES TO
SAG SOUTH TUESDAY WITH CONTINUED SHOWERS ALONG IT...BUT RAPIDLY
PUSHES BACK NORTH BY TUESDAY NIGHT IN ADVANCE OF MORE POTENT WAVE
MOVING OUT OF THE SW US.

GFS AND EURO BEGIN TO DIVERGE WITH THE HANDLING OF THIS SYSTEM FOR
WED/THU WITH THE GFS BEING SOMEWHAT FASTER. IN EITHER CASE...THIS
SYSTEM WILL HAVE TO MONITORED AS DECENT SHEAR LOOKS TO BECOME
COINCIDENT WITH HIGH CAPES AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT./26/
