AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
330 PM CDT MON AUG 18 2014

.DISCUSSION...FORECASTING CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS CAN BE A PAIN IN THE
SUMMER...AND SUCH HAS BEEN THE CASE THIS GO ROUND. RATHER LARGE AND
MATURE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX KNOCKING ON THE DOOR OF THE ARKLAMISS
DELTA EARLY THIS MORNING DECIDED TO DIMINISH RAPIDLY IN MAGNITUDE
AND COVERAGE AFTER SUNRISE AS IT PROGRESSED INTO THE NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. ATMOSPHERIC LIFTING INHERENT WITH THE
INCOMING MID-LEVEL CONVECTIVE VORT MAX DID MANAGE TO SPARK A GOOD
DEAL OF SHOWERS AND STORMS OVER CENTRAL AND EASTERN AREAS ALTHOUGH
MUCH OF THIS ACTIVITY IS ALREADY EXITING TO THE EAST. I CAN
UNDERSTAND THE FRUSTRATION OF THOSE ANTICIPATING RAIN TODAY BUT THAT
HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY...BUT THE DAY IS NOT OVER YET AND THERE IS
STILL A CHANCE! GENERAL SUBSIDENCE IN THE IMMEDIATE WAKE OF THE
DEPARTING CONVECTIVE VORT WILL BE TOUGH TO OVERCOME...BUT FAR
SOUTHERN ZONES SHOULD REMAIN CLEAR OF THAT INFLUENCE INTO THE EARLY
EVENING WITH THE ENVIRONMENT IN THE WESTERN HALF OF ZONES BECOMING
GRADUALLY MORE CONDUCIVE TO THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AN HOUR OR TWO
BEFORE SUNSET. LATEST HRRR REFLECTIVITY SIMULATION DEPICTS A LOOSE
CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ORGANIZING NEAR I-20 OVER NORTHERN LA
IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS...AND THEN PROGRESSING TOWARD CENTRAL MS
BEFORE DIMINISHING BY MID TO LATE EVENING. THIS SOLUTION HAS SOME
MERIT...BUT IT IS MORE IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE SLIGHTLY PERTURBED
NORTHWEST FLOW SCENARIO REMAINING IN PLACE UNTIL LATE TOMORROW IS
CONDUCIVE FOR LOOSELY ORGANIZED AND SOMETIMES RANDOM CONVECTION.

AS MENTIONED...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN AT
LEAST A SLIGHT POSSIBILITY OVERNIGHT AND UNTIL LATER TUESDAY. THE
HIGHEST CHANCES WILL GENERALLY BE IN THE NORTHEAST HALF OF
ZONES...BUT EVEN THERE POPS REALLY NOT GREATER THAN 30 PERCENT. WILL
HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR PATCHY FOG AND LOW CLOUD DEVELOPMENT BY
DAYBREAK TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT RECEIVED DOWNPOURS
TODAY...ALTHOUGH I AM NOT ANTICIPATING A DENSE FOG ADVISORY BEING
NEEDED ANYWHERE.

FOR TOMORROW THE MAIN STORY WILL LIKELY BE MOTHER NATURE STARTING TO
TURN UP THE THERMOSTAT. OF COURSE WE WILL ALSO HAVE TO WATCH FOR A
FEW THUNDERSTORMS THROUGHOUT THE DAY...BUT CONFIDENCE IS PRETTY HIGH
ANY STORMS BY LATER ON IN THE AFTERNOON SHOULD BE CONFINED TO
SOUTHEASTERN ZONES OF MS. MAV HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 93-96 RANGE LOOK
ON TRACK WITH PEAK HEAT INDEX VALUES PEAKING NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE
THE CENTURY MARK IN A GOOD DEAL OF SPOTS.

ON WEDNESDAY THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BUILD RIGHT ATOP THE
REGION...INCREASING HEAT AND LIMITING ANY ISOLATED AFTERNOON
THUNDERSTORMS TO SOUTH OF INTERSTATE TWENTY. TEMPERATURES WILL PEAK
IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S WITH PEAK HEAT INDEX VALUES NEAR OR SLIGHTLY
ABOVE 105 DEGREES.

AT THIS POINT THURSDAY AND FRIDAY LOOKING QUITE SIMILAR TO WEDNESDAY
IN TERMS OF HEAT AND HUMIDITY...ALTHOUGH ANY RAIN CHANCES SHOULD BE
EVEN MORE REMOTE. CONSIDERING THIS WILL LIKELY BE THE HOTTEST
STRETCH OF THE SUMMER SO FAR WE HAVE GONE AHEAD AND STARTING
MENTIONING LIMITED RISK FOR DANGEROUS HEAT IN THE HWO FOR WEDNESDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY. MODELS SUGGEST THE COMING WEEKEND MIGHT HOLD A
LITTLE MORE POTENTIAL FOR ACTUALLY REACHING FULL HEAT ADVISORY
CRITERIA...BUT THIS POTENTIAL IS STILL NOT YET HIGH ENOUGH TO BEGIN
THAT OFFICIAL ADVERTISEMENT.

MODELS TODAY CONTINUED TO PAINT THE PICTURE OF THE DOGGED RIDGE
STARTING TO BREAK DOWN EARLY NEXT WEEK...EVENTUALLY LEADING TO GOOD
RAIN CHANCES AND COOLER TEMPS BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. BUT THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK IS A WAYS OFF AND WE MUST BRACE FOR THE HOT
STRETCH TO COME. /BB/

&&

.AVIATION...SCATTERED SHRA/TSRA ARE MOSTLY CONFINED TO EASTERN MS
THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING AND WILL BRING A CHANCE FOR
REDUCED CIGS/VSYBS...BUT VFR CONDITIONS ARE ANTICIPATED OTHERWISE.
LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING...LOW STRATUS AND FOG WITH
IFR/LIFR RESTRICTIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE AT ALL SITES. /EC/
