438 PM CDT WED JUL 2 2014

...STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE THIS EVENING AND RECORD LOWS
POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND...

.SHORT TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...

THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEGUN TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION...SOME BEING
SEVERE...AS UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT WITH SOME S/WV LIFT/FLOW ALOFT IS
AIDING IN A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR WET MICROBURSTS. A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH WAS ALSO ISSUED UNTIL 9PM TONIGHT AS THIS ACTIVITY
SLOWLY PROGRESSES TO THE SE. MORE ACTIVITY IS POSSIBLE ALONG AND
AHEAD OF THE CURRENT OR ANY NEW OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES THAT DEVELOP. MORE
DIURNAL CONVECTION IS BEGINNING TO DEVELOP IN THE E AND SOME ISOLATED
SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE INTO THE LATE EVENING. HOWEVER...MOST
HI-RES GUIDANCE KEEPS THE ACTIVITY TO THE NW. TONIGHT...EXPECT
LINGERING STORMS INTO THE S/SE AS THE S/WV ALOFT DEPARTS AND THE
STORMS GRADUALLY PROPAGATE TO THE S. LEFT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ALONG/S
OF THE HWY 82 CORRIDOR WITH MOST OF THE ACTIVITY ALONG/S OF I-20
UNTIL 08Z...WITH MOST LIKELY WEAKENED BEFORE THAT TIME. THE FRONT
WILL CONTINUE TO PROGRESS TO THE S OVERNIGHT AND LOWS WILL BE
SLIGHTLY COOLER IN THE N. WENT NEAR MENMOS TONIGHT...WHILE SLIGHTLY
COOLER IN THE N DUE TO DECREASING CLOUDS AND MOISTURE DECREASING.
EXPECT COOLER CONDITIONS TOMORROW AFTERNOON AS PWATS FALL FROM NEAR
1.50 INCHES TODAY TO NEAR 0.8-1.0 INCHES ON THURSDAY IN THE HWY 82
CORRIDOR. AFTERNOON HIGHS THURSDAY WILL ONLY TOP OUT IN THE UPPER 80S
IN THE N WHILE AREAS IN THE S WILL REACH THE LOW/MID 90S AS THE DRIER
AIR WILL BE SLOWER TO FILTER INTO THE S. SOME MORE SHOWERS/STORMS ARE
POSSIBLE IN THE SW DUE TO COOL AIR ALOFT AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS WITH
VERTICAL TOTALS NEAR 26-28 DEG C. HOWEVER...WEAK FLOW ALOFT WILL ONLY
SUPPORT MAYBE AT MOST SOME STRONG STORMS. WILL KEEP OUT OF HWO FOR
NOW. WENT WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN THE SW UNTIL 02Z FRIDAY.

AS THE UPPER H5 TROUGH OVER THE NE CONUS SLOWLY SLIDES E AND
TROPICAL STORM ARTHUR BECOMES EMBEDDED IN THE MEAN FLOW ALOFT...A
STRONGER PUSH OF DRY AIR WILL BEGIN TO FILTER INTO THE N/NE PORTIONS
OF THE REGION THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. SOME RECORD LOW
MOISTURE VALUES WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE N/NE PORTIONS OF THE
AREA. WITH PWATS FALLING TO NEAR RECORD VALUES (~0.6 INCHES OR
LESS) AND DEWPOINTS WILL FALL INTO THE LOWER 60S...LOWS WILL ALSO BE
COOLER. SOME RECORD LOWS ARE POSSIBLE IN THE N/E. WENT NEAR MAVMOS
FOR LOWS FRIDAY...BUT WENT WARMER IN THE SW DUE TO LINGERING CLOUDS
AND DEEPER MOISTURE IN THE AREA. FRIDAY WILL BE MUCH CLEARER AS THE
H5 UPPER RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS SLOWLY BUILDS INTO THE REGION.
CLEAR SKIES ARE POSSIBLE WITH MAYBE SOME HIGH CLOUDS BUT TEMPERATURES
WILL ONLY REACH THE MID 80S IN THE N TO LOWER 90S IN THE S AS PWATS
FALL TO NEAR 0.7-0.9 INCHES. THE COOLEST NIGHT AND MOST POTENTIAL FOR
RECORD LOWS ARE POSSIBLE SATURDAY MORNING AS MOISTURE COULD FALL TO
RECORD LEVELS...PWATS AROUND 0.4 INCHES IN THE NE...AND DEWPOINTS
POSSIBLY IN THE LOW/MID 50S. LOWS WILL ONLY BE IN THE LOW/MID 60S IN
THE SW TO UPPER 50S IN THE NE. GREENWOOD...HATTIESBURG...AND MERIDIAN
COULD ALL TIE OR BREAK RECORD LOWS SATURDAY MORNING. WENT NEAR BLEND
OF MAV/ECS LOWS SATURDAY MORNING. RELEVANT PORTION OF PREVIOUS LONG
TERM DISCUSSION IS ATTACHED. /DC/

.LONG TERM...

SATURDAY EVENING THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY...

SATURDAY WILL BE MUCH OF THE SAME STORY WITH CONTINUED NEAR RECORD
LOW PWATS WITH AREA REMAINING UNDER NORTHERLY FLOW. BY SUNDAY
HOWEVER, THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE BECOMES RE-ESTABLISHED WITH DEEPER SE
MOISTURE FETCH COMING OFF GULF AND SUBTLE WEAKNESSES IN OVERALL
HEIGHT/VORTICITY FIELDS WILL YIELD GREATER CHANCES FOR
ISOLATED/SCATTERED SHOWERS AND TSTORMS SOUTH OF I-20 AS SEA BREEZE
CONVERGENCE AIDS IN INITIATION. SIMILAR PATTERN WILL BE IN PLACE MON-
TUES WITH 20-40% POP FROM I-20 INCREASING SOUTHWARD TOWARDS THE COAST
AS HUMIDITY AND TEMPS RISE AGAIN. IT MAY NOT BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOME
STORMS TO BE STRONG WITH ELEVATED VERTICAL TOTALS NEAR 28C BUT WILL
MONITOR TRENDS.

FOR WEATHER ELEMENTS...MEXPOPS WERE GENERALLY FOLLOWED WITH SLIGHT
TWEAK TOWARDS EC OUTPUT THURSDAY WITH FRONTAL PASSAGE TIMING
DIFFERENCES. MEX TEMPS WERE MASSAGED WITH ECMOS THAT ALSO ALIGNED
WITH COOLER TRENDING RAW MODEL H925 TEMPS THROUGH SATURDAY AND

MAINLY 3 TO 4 KFT. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE
THROUGH EARLY EVENING IN ALL AREAS.  IN THESE LATTER AREAS STORMS
