AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1141 AM CDT MON APR 28 2014

.UPDATE......SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...
...SIGNIFICANT FLOODING POSSIBLE MONDAY INTO EARLY TUESDAY...

.UPDATE...NOT MANY UPDATES MADE TO GOING FORECAST AS SEVERE
WEATHER OUTBREAK REMAINS ON TRACK FOR LATE THIS MORNING AND
ESPECIALLY INTO THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WHERE STRONG AND POSSIBLY
LONG TRACK TORNADOES COULD OCCUR. CAUTION IS HIGHLY ADVISED FOR
THIS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING AND DANGEROUS SITUATION.

.DISCUSSION...INITIAL LEAD S/WV RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS MORNINGS ACTIVELY
IS LIFTING NE AWAY FROM THE REGION RESULTING IN A WEAKENING TREND OF
THAT ACTIVITY. HOWEVER, A CYCLONICALLY CURVED H5-H3 JET STREAK IS
OBSERVED ON WV CHANNELS...REGIONAL VAD WIND PROFILES AND IN NWP
SURGING INTO THE NW DELTA AND THE ARKLAMISS AT THIS HOUR. THIS
SIGNATURE COUPLED WITH NEAR 2000 J/KG SBCAPE IS ALREADY INITIALIZING
ACROSS THE DELTA REGION WITH THE THIS NEXT AND MORE POTENT ROUND OF
SEVERE WEATHER EXPECTED FOR THE REGION. 0-1 KM ESRH REMAINS NEAR
200M2/S2 PER MESOANALYSIS AS OF 16Z BUT NWP SUITE SUGGESTS STEADILY
INCREASING LOW LVL SHEAR VALUES TOWARDS 300M2/S2 AND POSSIBLY HIGHER
THROUGH THE EARLY AFTN AND EVENING WHERE WORRISOME 0-1 KM EHI AND
STRONG TORNADO PARAMETERS VALUES INDICATE HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT CAPABLE
OF SUPPORTING SOME STRONG AND POSSIBLY LONG TRACK TORNADOES. SPC SSEO
UPDRAFT HELICITY SIGNALS SUGGEST THAT GREATEST RISK FOR THESE
TORNADOES COULD BE ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI
EXTENDING ALONG THE NATCHEZ TRACE CORRIDOR TOWARDS THE JACKSON
METROPLEX MID TO LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. A COUPLE OF ROUGE
STORMS COULD ALSO DEVELOP SOUTH OF I-20 AND WITH LESS COMPETITION FOR
RESOURCES AND POTENTIALLY NON-BLOCKED INFLOW COULD BE TROUBLESOME.

THE TRENDS OF LOCAL WRF AND THE HRRR ECHO SPC SSEO HELICITY SIGNALS
THAT WHAT SEMI-DISCRETE STORMS DEVELOP WILL BE CAPABLE OF STRONG
ROTATING UPDRAFTS. NAM BUFR SOUNDINGS FOR JACKSON FOR MID AFTN
SUGGEST 0-3 SRH VALUES NEAR 500 M2/S2 WITH THIS ENVIRONMENT LIKELY IN
PLACE ALONG THE TRACE CORRIDOR. GRAPHICS HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO
REFLECT THIS HIGHER RISK AREA.

UPDATES ARE OUT AND AN UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION CAN BE FOUND
DIRECTLY BELOW. /ALLEN/

&&

.AVIATION...MVFR CIGS WERE STILL BEING REPORTED AT 15Z IN THE SOUTH
BUT CIGS SHOULD RISE ABOVE 3KFT BY 17Z AREAWIDE. BREEZY SOUTH WINDS
OF 15-20KTS WITH GUSTS 30KTS AWAY FROM STORMS TODAY. CONDITIONS
COULD DETERIORATE THIS AFTN INTO THE EVENING AS WIDESPREAD
TSTMS...SOME SEVERE WL BE PSBL. AWAY FROM STORMS...MVFR CIGS WL
REDEVELOP TONIGHT AREAWIDE. STRONGER SW WINDS AND ANOTHER ROUND OF
POTENTIALLY SEVERE TSTMS ARE EXPECTED TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY OVER THE
SE HALF OF THE AREA. /22/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 350 AM CDT MON APR 28 2014/

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT

SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER HAZARDS ARE EXPECTED TO
IMPACT THE REGION TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY ALONG WITH SOME POSSIBLE
SIGNIFICANT FLOODING FROM HEAVY RAINFALL. TODAY STILL LOOKS TO BE
PARTICULARLY VOLATILE...ESPECIALLY WITH THE STRONG SHEAR IN PLACE.

THE LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWED A STRONG CLOSED STORM
CIRCULATION OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS AROUND NEBRASKA WITH SEVERE
CONVECTION PUSHING ACROSS THE ARKLATEX. A SERIES OF VORT LOBES
WERE ROTATING AROUND THE CLOSED STORM SYSTEM WHICH WAS BRINGING
ASCENT FOR CONVECTIVE FORMATION. A STRONG JET STREAM WAS PIVOTING
AROUND THE SOUTHERN AXIS OF THE CLOSED SYSTEM. THERE WAS AN
ASSOCIATED 985 MB SURFACE LOW WITH AS ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT AND DRY
LINE EXTENDING DOWN INTO TEXAS. WE WERE IN THE WARM SECTOR WITH
DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S TO AROUND 70. THE ATMOSPHERE HAD GOOD JET
DYNAMICS ...STRONG VERTICAL SHEAR(EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR 40-60 KNOTS
AND INSTABILITY IN PLACE FOR MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF A SEVERE WEATHER
OUTBREAK FOR FOR TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

FOR TODAY A STRONG SHORTWAVE WILL ROTATE AROUND THE CLOSED SYSTEM
WHILE THE STORM SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN. HEIGHT FALLS...
STRONG LAPSE RATES...STRONG DYNAMIC SHEAR AND INSTABILITY WILL
PUSH INTO THE REGION. THIS COULD HELP SEVERE CONVECTION TO DEVELOP
ACROSS THE WEST EARLY AND SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE DAY.
THE BROKEN LINE OF DISCRETE SUPERCELL STORMS TO THE WEST WILL PUSH
ACROSS THE REGION TODAY. THE MODEL SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO SHOW
IMPRESSIVE SIGNATURES FOR ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER FOR TODAY
THROUGH TUESDAY INCLUDING THE RISK OF SOME STRONG TORNADOES. THE
FIRST ROUND WILL AFFECT THE WESTERN AREAS THIS MORNING AND MARCH
ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE DAY. THE SURFACE BOUNDARY/DRYLINE WILL
BE SLOWLY APPROACHING FROM THE WEST. LATEST SPC WRF SHOWS SOME STRONG
MAXIMUM UPDRAFT HELICITY VALUES WITH THESE STORMS. AS WE GO INTO
TONIGHT EXPECT SOME MORE DEVELOPMENT FROM THE WEST. ALOT WILL DEPEND
HOW THE CONVECTIVE FEATURES WILL DEVELOP DURING THE PERIOD FOR BRIEF
PERIODS OF LULLS BETWEEN ROUNDS OF SEVERE WEATHER. SPC HAS PUT MOST
OF THE REGION UNDER A MODERATE RISK FOR DAY ONE. ALSO THE LOCAL WRF
SHOWS IMPRESSIVE UPDRAFT HELICITY IN THE NORTHEAST FOR LATE THIS
AFTERNOON WITH THESE STORMS FROM DISCRETE SUPERCELLS.

HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO BE A CONCERN FOR TODAY THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY
WITH STRONG UPPER DIVERGENCE. MODELS SOUNDINGS AND CROSS SECTIONS SHOWS
STRONG ASCENT FOR THE INFLOW OF GULF MOISTURE WITH PWATS AROUND 1.8
INCHES. THE DAY ONE GRAPHIC FOR EXCESSIVE RAIN SHOWS A MODERATE RISK
ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA. SOME OF THE WRF MODELS SHOWS SOME POSSIBLE
TRAINING ACROSS SOME OF OUR RIVER BASINS. CORFIDI VECTORS SHOWS SOME
RIDGING MOVING ACROSS THE REGION FOR SOME TRAINING OF CELLS FOR HEAVY
RAINFALL AND SOME POSSIBLE BACKBUILDING. WPC SHOWS 2 TO 4 INCH
RAINFALL AMOUNTS ACROSS THE REGION. SO WITH THAT IN MIND HAVE
EXPANDED THE TIME OF THE CURRENT WATCH AS WELL AS ADDED THE SOUTHEAST
PORTION OF THE REGION AT 22Z UNTIL 12Z TUESDAY.

FOR TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...ANOTHER STRONG SHORTWAVE WILL ROTATE
AROUND THE CLOSED SYSTEM OVER NORTHERN MISSOURI. MODELS SHOWS THAT THE
LOW LEVEL INFLOW WILL WEAKEN SOME IN THE LOW LEVELS OF 850 MBS AND
BELOW. THIS WILL WEAKEN THE BULK SHEAR SOME IN THE 1 AND 2 KM LAYER.
HOWEVER THE DEEP LAYER SHEAR 0-6 KM WILL MAKE UP FOR IT WITH READINGS
FROM 60 TO NEAR 100 KNOTS. THIS COMBINED WITH STRONG INSTABILITY WILL
KEEP ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER ON TRACK. THE SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL
MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. EXPECT THE
BULK OF THE SEVERE WEATHER TO AFFECT MAINLY THE EAST HALF OF THE
REGION AND EXIT OUT OF THE ARKLAMISS BY EARLY TUESDAY EVENING.

AS FAR AS TEMPS ARE CONCERN WENT CLOSE TO GMOS TEMPS FOR DAILY HIGHS AND
CLOSE TO CURRENT FORECAST FOR NIGHTLY LOWS. MOS GUIDANCE LOOKED A LITTLE
COOL FOR THE NIGHTLY LOWS./17/

LONGTERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...DESPITE CONTINUED MID/UPPER
LEVEL SW FLOW STILL STREAMING MOISTURE OVER THE REGION WED/THU...LOW
LEVEL NORTHERLY FLOW BEHIND SURFACE BOUNDARY...BY NOW OVER AL...WILL
HAVE SCOURED OUT MAJORITY OF APPRECIABLE MOISTURE. WHILE BOTH THE
GFS AND ECMWF SHOW THIS SCENARIO...GFS MOS WANTS TO PAINT SLIGHT
POPS FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD WITH NO QPF AT ALL. DO AGREE THAT THERE
WILL BE SOME SLIGHT CHANCE FOR PASSING MID LEVEL WAVE ON
FRIDAY...BUT NOT ALL DURING THE WEEK LEADING UP TO THEN. HAVE CUT
POPS FOR WED/THU AND AGAIN SAT/SUN AS PATTERN JUST DOES NOT LOOK
CONDUCIVE FOR APPRECIABLE...IF ANY...PRECIPITATION. ECMWF SHOWING
SOME CAPES AROUND 500 J/KG AVAILABLE FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON...WILL ADD
SOME POSSIBILITY FOR THUNDER TO THE EXPECTED SHOWERS.

TEMPS DURING THIS TIMEFRAME WILL BE UNSEASONABLY COOL AND SOME 10 TO
15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL. DESPITE THE COOL NIGHTTIME LOWS IN THE
40S...TEMPS STILL WILL BE JUST A LITTLE BIT TOO WARM FOR FROST
CONCERNS./26/

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1209 PM CDT MON APR 28 2014

A STRONG THUNDERSTORM CAPABLE OF PRODUCING PENNY TO NICKEL SIZE HAIL
AND 40 TO 50 MPH WINDS WAS LOCATED 5 MILES NORTHEAST OF INDIANOLA AT
1210 PM CDT...MOVING NORTHEAST AT 55 MPH.

HIGH WINDS CAN BRING DOWN TREES AND LARGE LIMBS RESULTING IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN OUTDOORS
DURING SUCH STRONG WINDS...AND BE ESPECIALLY AWARE OF OLDER TREES.

PEOPLE IN NORTHERN LEFLORE AND SOUTHERN SUNFLOWER COUNTIES SHOULD
MONITOR THIS STORM CLOSELY.
