AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
855 PM CDT FRI MAR 28 2014

...SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE TONIGHT...

.UPDATE...HAVE UPDATED FORECAST EARLIER THIS EVENING TO INCLUDE
TORNADO WATCH FOR THE NORTHWEST TWO THIRDS OF THE AREA. SURFACE
ANALYSIS HAD A 1007MB LOW OVER WESTERN LOUISIANA BETWEEN SHREVEPORT
AND LAKE CHARLES. A BAND OF STORMS WAS NOTED ON REGIONAL RADARS
STRETCHING NORTHEAST FROM THE LOW ACROSS OUR DELTA REGION. A BOWING
LINE OF STORMS WAS NOTED FROM THE LOW BACK INTO NORTHEAST TEXAS.
THIS ACTIVITY WILL SHIFT EAST ACROSS OUR CWA TONIGHT AS THE LOW
PROGRESSES. THERE REMAINS THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS...
QUARTER SIZE HAIL OR LARGER AND A TORNADO WITH THE STORMS TONIGHT.
IF THE BOWING LINE OF STORMS HOLDS TOGETHER...THE AREA SOUTH OF
INTERSTATE TWENTY MAY SEE MORE WIDESPREAD WIND DAMAGE THAN THE
NORTHERN PORTIONS. CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF RAIN THAT WAS RECENTLY
RECORDED ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN ZONES...A FLASH FLOOD CONCERN REMAINS
AS WELL WITH THE LINE OF STORMS. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR SOUTH OF
INTERSTATE 20 TONIGHT WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT. OVERALL...THE TIMING OF
STORMS IS A LITTLE SLOWER THAN EXPECTED BUT THE ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED
TO SHIFT EAST OF OUR AREA EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. /22/

&&

.AVIATION...AT 01Z SAT IFR CIGS WERE BEING REPORTED IN THE SE WITH
MVFR CIGS CNTRL AND VFR CONDS GWO-GTR. GLH WAS OBSERVING TSTM
ACTIVITY IN ADVANCE OF A LOW PRESSURE CENTER THAT WL MOVE ACROSS THE
AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT AND DRAG A COLD FRONT THROUGH IN ITS WAKE.
SEVERE TSTMS WITH WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 60KTS AND HAIL QUARTER TO
GOLFBALL SIZE WILL BE PSBL WITH THE STORMS. GWO-GTR WL SEE TSTMS
04-06Z WITH THE OTHER TAF SITES AFFECTED 06Z-11Z BEFORE THE ACTIVITY
SHIFTS EAST. CIGS WL IMPROVE TO VFR AFTER 14Z SAT BUT GUSTY NORTH
WINDS IN EXCESS OF 20KTS WL BE OBSERVED THROUGH THE AFTN. VFR CONDS
WL LAST THROUGH SAT NIGHT. /22/

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 445 PM CDT FRI MAR 28 2014/

..SEVERE STORMS AND HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
REGION TONIGHT...

DISCUSSION...SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING LARGE HAIL HAVE
RECENTLY DEVELOPED IN SOUTHERN ARKANSAS AND OTHER STORMS ARE
ORGANIZING IN EASTERN TX. THIS IS ALL IN RESPONSE TO A POTENT
INCOMING DISTURBANCE REACTING WITH A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY...
PLENTIFUL INSTABILITY AND ADEQUATE DEEP LAYER WIND SHEAR. SOME OF
THESE SUPERCELLS IN SOUTHERN ARKANSAS WILL LIKELY BUILD DOWN INTO
PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS DELTA OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS...AND THIS
EXPLAINS THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT FOR THOSE LOCATIONS
THROUGH 10 PM CDT.

MUCH OF THE INITIAL CELLULAR ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCOMING
DISTURBANCE WILL LIKELY JUST CLIP NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON WITH THE MORE
CONSOLIDATED INFLUX OF THUNDERSTORMS HOLDING OFF UNTIL THIS EVENING.
BUT BY EVENING THUNDERSTORMS NOW DEVELOPING NEAR THE ARKLATEX SOUTH
THROUGH EAST TEXAS SHOULD GROW UPSCALE INTO A CONVECTIVE LINE WHICH
ADVANCES SOLIDLY INTO THE HEART OF THE REGION BY LATE EVENING. MEAN
LAYER CAPE VALUES WITH ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON IN THE ARKLAMISS
DELTA WILL PEAK BETWEEN 1500 AND 2000 J/KG...BUT PEAK VALUES IN
WESTERN ZONES ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCOMING LINEAR COMPLEX SHOULD BE
MORE IN THE 1000-1500 J/KG RANGE. POTENTIAL FOR FORWARD PROPAGATION
OF SEGMENTS INTO THE UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL ENHANCE RISK FOR
SIGNIFICANT WIND GUSTS WHILE LARGE HAIL TO AT LEAST GOLF BALL SIZE
IS A CONSIDERABLE RISK. LOW LEVEL SHEAR THROUGH THIS EVENING IS
GENERALLY EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW TORNADIC THRESHOLDS BUT I DO
THINK ENHANCEMENT OF SHEAR IN THE VICINITY OF CONVECTIVELY-INDUCED
MESOLOWS COULD BE ENOUGH TO HELP GENERATE A FEW EMBEDDED TORNADOES
REGARDLESS. THIS SHOULD MAINLY BE IN THE CASE IN WESTERN ZONES
WHERE CONVECTION WILL REMAIN INTENSE THIS EVENING.

ACTIVITY SHOULD TEND TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS IT HEADS EAST INTO AN
INCREASINGLY STABLE AIR MASS...WITH THE LIKELIHOOD OF SIGNIFICANT
WEAKENING QUITE HIGH BY THE TIME CONVECTION REACHES THE ALABAMA
BORDER AND THE COOLING EFFECTS OF LAST NIGHTS CONVECTION LINGER
LONGEST. HOWEVER...THIS WEAKENING TREND WITH EASTWARD MOVEMENT MAY
NOT HOLD UP IN MY FAR SOUTHERN ZONES DUE TO BAROCLINIC ENHANCEMENT
OF LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS BECAUSE OF THE PROXIMITY OF THE BOUNDARY
PUT DOWN IN THE WAKE OF LAST NIGHTS STORMS. ADDITIONALLY...POTENTIAL
FOR STRENGTHENING SOUTH FLOW IN SOUTHERN ZONES JUST AHEAD OF
CONVECTION COULD PULL UP GULF MOISTURE QUICKLY ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN
STORM INTENSITIES WELL INTO THE NIGHT. THE BAROCLINIC ENHANCEMENT
OF SHEAR IN SOUTHERN ZONES IS ALSO WHY WE ARE ADVERTISING THE
POTENTIAL FOR EMBEDDED TORNADOES WITH ACTIVITY DOWN THERE WELL INTO
THE NIGHT.

FINALLY IN REGARDS TO ACTIVITY TONIGHT...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WAS
ISSUED THROUGH THE NIGHT IN ROUGHLY THE SAME LOCATIONS WHICH
RECEIVED A BIG DUMPING OF RAINFALL LAST NIGHT. THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BE
PROGRESSIVE ENOUGH WHERE FLOODING WOULD NOT BE A BIG WORRY BY
ITSELF...BUT UPON SATURATED GROUND A QUICK ONE TO TWO INCHES COULD
CAUSE SOME HIGH WATER ISSUES.

ALL THE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD BE CLEARING TO THE EAST LATE TONIGHT
WITH A COLD FRONT DRIVING SOUTH TO THE COAST DURING THE FIRST HALF
OF THE DAY TOMORROW. GUSTY NORTH WINDS WILL BE FOUND BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT AND CONDITIONS COULD BE A LITTLE CHILLY BEFORE MIDDAY AS
CLOUDS WILL BE SLOW TO CLEAR AND SOME PATCHY DRIZZLE COULD LINGER IN
SPOTS. BUT CONDITIONS SHOULD BE RELATIVELY MILD BY TOMORROW
AFTERNOON WITH THE REST OF THE WEEKEND PLEASANT AND ONLY A LITTLE
COOLER THAN AVERAGE. /BB/

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 435 AM CDT FRI MAR 28 2014/

SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE SHORT LIVED AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD AS PROGRESSIVE MID LEVEL FLOW ALLOWS IT TO
QUICKLY PUSH EAST AND SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL WINDS TO RETURN BY SUNDAY
NIGHT. NEXT SHORTWAVE PULLS OUT OF THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST INTO THE
PLAINS ON MONDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL DRAG A WEAK FRONT TO THE
NORTHWEST DOORSTEP OF THE FORECAST AREA BY TUESDAY...BUT DOES NOT
SEEM TO HAVE MUCH AFFECT ON OUR FORECAST OTHER THAN TO INCREASE
CLOUDINESS.

PATTERN LOOKS TO AMPLIFY MOVING INTO THE MID WEEK TIMEFRAME AS
DECENT COLD CORE MOVES FROM THE PAC NW INTO THE ROCKIES. BACKING
FLOW OVER THE AREA WILL SET UP WARM ADVECTION AND RE-ENERGIZE THE
OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY. CONVECTION LOOKS A GOOD BET BY WEDNESDAY AS
MID/UPPER 60 DEWPOINTS SURGE NORTH OUT OF THE GULF OF MEXICO AND MID
LEVEL SYSTEM MOVES OUT INTO THE PLAINS. WILL HAVE TO WATCH THE
EVOLUTION OF THIS EVENT AS THE COLD FRONT STARTS TO MOVE. GFS/EURO
ARE SHOWING 1500-2000 J/KG OF CAPE COINCIDENT WITH 350 M2/S2 0-3KM
HELICITY OVER THE NW HALF BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING AND AGAIN
THURSDAY FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA AS THE FRONT NEARS. SINCE THIS
EVENT IS STILL QUITE A WAYS OUT...WILL HOLD OFF ON MENTIONING ANY
SEVERE POTENTIAL IN THE HWO FOR NOW./26/
