Area forecast discussion, Aug 4, 4:32 PM CDT, 1 minute before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 432 PM CDT MON AUG 4 2014 .DISCUSSION... REMAINDER OF AFTERNOON... HRRR/LOCAL WRF OUTPUT DISCUSSED THIS MORNING PROVED CORRECT WITH CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION THIS AFTERNOON AS STORMS HAVE BEEN MOST CONCENTRATED NEAR THE NATCHEZ TRACE PARKWAY. DRIER AIR SHOWS UP MUCH BETTER AT THE SURFACE IN THE CUMULUS FIELD MOVING INTO EXTREME NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS...BUT MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA HAS GOTTEN AT LEAST ISOLATED SHOWER/TSTM ACTIVITY. EXPECT STORMS TO CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY EVENING BEFORE DISSIPATING WITH SUNSET. A FEW OF THE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BE STRONG TO MARGINALLY SEVERE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS BASED ON LATEST TRENDS. MID LEVEL HEIGHTS AND ANTICYCLONIC FLOW WILL INCREASE TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...SO EXPECT DIURNAL CONVECTION COVERAGE TO BE A BIT MORE LIMITED AND MORE FOCUSED SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR WHERE MOISTURE WILL BE DEEPER MID LEVEL LAPSE RATEST STEEPER. WITH SURFACE TEMPS LIKELY TO EXCEED 90F...EXPECT FAVORABLE CONDITIONS FOR A FEW STRONG/SVR STORMS ONCE AGAIN. HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE ON A GRADUAL INCREASE BUT HAVE MADE SLIGHT CUTS TO MAV MOS WHICH STILL HAS A WARM BIAS...BUT THE BIAS IS NOT AS MUCH GIVEN RECENT DRIER CONDITIONS. /EC/ PREVIOUS LONG TERM DISCUSSION... WEDNESDAY THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND...PERSISTENT UPPER LEVEL TROUGH HANGING IN THE VICINITY OF THE LOWER MS VALLEY SHOULD BE CLEARED OFF TO THE EAST BY WEDNESDAY WITH FLAT RIDGING EXTENDING EAST AND NORTHEAST OUT OF TX AND OLD MEXICO TAKING TEMPORARY HOLD THROUGH AT LEAST THURSDAY. HOWEVER...BY LATE FRIDAY (AND DEFINITELY BY SATURDAY)...MODEL CONSENSUS PRETTY HIGH THAT THE RIDGE IN OUR AREA WILL AGAIN RELENT TO ACTIVE NORTHWEST FLOW...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER FROPA ASSOCIATED WITH THE NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME AROUND NEXT SATURDAY. CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY SHOULD BE TYPICALLY HOT CONSIDERING THE CALENDER DATE...WITH MANY LOCATIONS PERHAPS AVERAGING A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL (WHICH IS RARE FOR THIS SUMMER). BUT MOISTURE IN THE MID TO LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN PLENTIFUL AND RIDGING ALOFT NOT SUPPRESSIVE ENOUGH TO KEEP A LID ON AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND STORMS ALTHOUGH POPS GENERALLY 30 PERCENT OR LESS. THIS MOISTURE WILL ALSO COMBINE WITH THE MENTIONED HEAT TO PUSH PEAK HEAT INDICES NEAR OR A LITTLE ABOVE THE CENTURY MARK IN MANY LOCALES THIS PERIOD. AT THIS POINT WE ARE NOT ANTICIPATING HEAT ADVISORIES BECOMING NECESSARY. AS FAR AS THE POTENTIAL FOR POTENTIALLY SEVERE STORMS GOES...IT APPEARS GARDEN VARIETY SUMMER CONVECTION (I.E..NOT SEVERE) SHOULD BE THE STORY UNTIL PERHAPS LATE FRIDAY WHEN LAPSE RATES AND SHEAR START SLOWLY INCREASING FROM THE NORTH AS THE NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME ENCROACHES. FROM LATE FRIDAY AND THROUGH AT LEAST SATURDAY (AND PERHAPS EVEN LASTING INTO SUNDAY IN SOUTHERN ZONES) STORM STRENGTH COULD BE AN ISSUE WITH SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL NOT ENTIRELY OUT OF THE QUESTION AS WELL. FOR NOW WILL HOLD OFF MENTIONING IN THE HWO DUE TO UNCERTAINTY OF IMPACT REACHING THRESHOLDS FOR WARRANTING MENTION IN THE EXTENDED TIME RANGE. LATER IN THE WEEKEND AND POSSIBLY GOING INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK IT APPEARS AN ACTIVE PATTER MAY CONTINUE IN AT LEAST SOUTHERN ZONES. MODELS SUGGESTS POTENTIAL FOR THE BOUNDARY COMING IN SATURDAY TO PERHAPS STALL NORTH OF THE COAST AND SERVE AS A BAROCLINIC ZONE FOR THUNDERSTORM CLUSTER INITIATION AND TRAVEL FOR A PERIOD OF A FEW DAYS. TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE BOARD SHOULD COOL OFF SOME BUT HUMIDITY MAY BE TOUGH TO SHAKE IN SOUTHERN ZONES. STAY TUNED TO LATER FORECASTS AS WE REFINE DETAILS CONCERNING EARLY NEXT WEEK. /BB/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
