Wind Chill Advisory 5, NWS Jackson, MS

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
950 PM CST SUN MAR 2 2014

.UPDATE...WINTRY PRECIPITATION IS STILL EXPECTED TONIGHT IN THE
NORTH BUT THE CHANCE FOR STRONG TO SEVERE WEATHER HAS DIMINISHED.
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CLEARLY SHOWS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW SPINNING OVER
THE OKLAHOMA/KANSAS STATE LINE AND MOVING EAST. CIRCULATION AROUND
THIS LOW WAS DRAWING UP A DRY SLOT OVER WESTERN LOUISIANA AND
WESTERN ARKANSAS THAT WILL LIKELY HELP END THE CHANCE FOR
PRECIPITATION A LITTLE FASTER THAN EXPECTED TONIGHT. LATEST SURFACE
ANALYSIS HAD A 1012MB OVER EAST CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI THAT WILL
CONTINUE SHIFTING NORTHEAST AND DRAG A COLD FRONT ACROSS OUR CWA.
LOCAL RADARS SHOWED A NARROW LINE OF STORMS APPROACHING OUR
SOUTHWEST ZONES. THIS LINE WILL SWEEP EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF
OF OUR CWA AND MAY BRING WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH ALONG WITH VERY BRIEF
HEAVY RAIN. FARTHER NORTH A BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WAS
MOVING INTO THE DELTA. THE FREEZING LINE WAS NOTED NEAR NORTHERN
BOLIVAR AND NORTHERN SUNFLOWER COUNTIES AT 9PM AND FREEZING RAIN
WILL BECOME POSSIBLE OVER PORTIONS OF THE DELTA AND THE HIGHWAY 82
CORRIDOR THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT AS ARCTIC AIR FILTERS SOUTH
WHILE THE RAIN CONTINUES. THE DRYING NOTED ON SATELLITE IMAGERY AND
THE BACK EDGE OF THE RAIN AS NOTED ON RADARS MAY ARRIVE A LITTLE
FASTER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT AND THEREBY RESULT IN LOWER ICE
ACCUMULATIONS...THE CURRENT WINTER STORM WARNING AND WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY AREAS WILL REMAIN UNCHANGED WITH THIS UPDATE. OVER A
QUARTER OF AN INCH OF ICE ACCUMULATION STILL LOOKS POSSIBLE WHERE
THE WARNING IS IN AFFECT. TEMPERATURE CURVES WERE ALSO ADJUSTED AS
THERE REMAINED QUITE A GRADIENT ACROSS OUR CWA. AT 9 PM GREENVILLE
WAS 35F WHILE HAWKINS FIELD AND JACKSON WERE STILL IN THE LOWER 70S.
/22/

&&

.AVIATION...IFR CONDITIONS WERE BEING REPORTED AT KGLH AND KGWO AT
03Z WHERE AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT HAS MOVED THROUGH WITH STRONG NORTH
WINDS OF 15KTS WITH HIGHER GUSTS. MVFR CONDS WERE BEING REPORTED AT
MOST OTHER TAF SITES. CONDS WL CONT TO DETERIORATE FROM THE
NORTHWEST OVERNIGHT AS THE ARCTIC AIRMASS MOVES SOUTH. FREEZING RAIN
WL BE PSBL GLH-GWO THROUGH 12Z. THE PCPN WL END FROM THE WEST AS THE
COLDEST AIR MAKES IT INTO CNTRL AND SOUTHERN MS. STRONG GUSTY NORTH
WINDS WILL LAST INTO MONDAY AFTN. VFR CONDS WL RETURN BY 00Z TUE.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 432 PM CST SUN MAR 2 2014/

DISCUSSION...WINTER PRECIPITATION TONIGHT NORTH...

MAIN HIGHLIGHTS OVER NEXT 18 HOURS WILL CENTER AROUND WINTER
PRECIPITATION IN THE FORM OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET ACROSS THE DELTA
AND NORTH-CENTRAL MS WHILE CONCURRENTLY STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE OCCURRING ACROSS PORTIONS OF NE LA AND SW MS
REGION.

A COMPLEX SET-UP CURRENTLY DEPICTS AN ARCTIC FRONT CHARACTERIZED BY
A TIGHT 30-40F DEGREE GRADIENT OVER A 60 MILE STRETCH DRAPED ALONG A
SHREVEPORT LA TO GREENVILLE MS TO CORINTH MS LINE. THIS FRONT AND
ITS INTERACTION WITH A DEEP H5 TROUGH OVER TEXAS AND ATTENDANT
SURFACE LOW WILL SET THE STAGE FOR DUAL IMPACTS OF SEVERE STORMS AND
WINTER PRECIPITATION. FIRST THE STRONG/SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL BE
DISCUSSED AND THEN THE WINTER SET-UP.

A CAPPED WARM SECTOR EXISTS ACROSS EAST TEXAS INTO SW MS THIS AFTN
CHARACTERIZED BY DEWPOINTS IN THE MID TO LOW 60S WITH TEMPERATURES
SOARING IN THE THE MID TO UPPER 70S TO EVEN 80F. DEEP ASCENT IS
NOTED PIVOTING AROUND THE TROUGH VIA WV CHANNELS AND WITH CAP EROSION
EXPECTED NEAR 00Z, SURFACE BASED CONVECTION SHOULD TAKE ROOT ACROSS
SE TEXAS INTO WEST LA. AS THIS CONVECTION DEVELOPS AND PUSHES EAST,
IT WILL RIDE UP AND OVER THE ARCTIC FRONT WHERE SOME ELEVATED CAPE
COULD SUPPORT HAIL TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS. AS THE EVENING
PROGRESSES AND THE COLD FRONT PUSHES EAST ACROSS LA WHILE A SURFACE
LOW DEVELOPS ALONG IT, BETTER LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND CAP EROSION
SHOULD ALLOW FOR A BROKEN SQUALL LINE TO DEVELOP NEAR THE I-10
CORRIDOR NORTHWARD TOWARDS THE I-20 CORRIDOR IN LA TOWARDS WEST MS.
HOW FAR NORTH REMAINS IN QUESTION AS THE SFC BASED INSTABILITY GETS
PINCHED OFF. THE MORE FAVORED AREA WILL BE FROM ALONG AND SOUTH OF A
WINNSBORO LA TO BROOKHAVEN LINE. SPC MESOSCALE ANALYSIS REFLECTS
THIS AREA WELL WHERE ESRH INFLOW BASES APPEAR MORE SFC BASED WHILE
BEING NEAR 300 M2/S2 IN PRESENCE OF ~500 J/KG ML CAPE. THIS
ENVIRONMENT COULD SUPPORT WIND GUSTS OF 50-60 MPH, QUARTER HAIL AND A
TORNADO IS NOT AN IMPOSSIBILITY. FEEL GREATER TORNADO THREAT WILL BE
FAR SW TOWARDS I-10 CORRIDOR. STORMS WILL SLOWLY LOSE INTENSITY
THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS AS THEY SHIFT EAST.

FOR THE WINTER HAZARDS...CONCURRENTLY AS THE STRONG/SEVERE STORMS
COULD BE ONGOING ACROSS THE SOUTH, THE DEEP ASCENT WILL AID IN
PRECIPITATION DEVELOPMENT OVER THE ARCTIC AIRMASS BY LATE THIS
EVENING THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. NAM/EC CONTINUE TO BE THE
COLDER MODELS AND WERE RELIED UPON GIVEN PAST HANDLING OF WINTER
EVENTS. INITIAL PRECIPITATION WILL BE RAIN THIS AFTERNOON WITH SOME
THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE EARLY EVENING AND THEN A TRANSITION TO
FREEZING RAIN LATE TONIGHT AS THE SUB-FREEZING LAYER MOVES INTO THE
DELTA REGION. AS THE SUB-FREEZING LAYER THICKENS AND GETS COLDER BY
EARLY MONDAY MORNING, A TRANSITION TO SLEET LOOKS TO OCCUR. A WINTER
STORM WARNING IS IN EFFECT WHERE ICE/SLEET ACCUMULATIONS ARE LIKELY
TO BE IN THE 0.25"-0.4" RANGE. FARTHER SOUTH AND EAST OF THIS AREA
WILL HAVE SOME ICE ACCUMULATION POSSIBILITIES OF 0-1"-0.2". WIND
CHILLS WILL ALSO BE QUITE COLD MONDAY MORNING WITH READINGS 1-9F
DEGREES ABOVE ZERO AND ONLY RISING TO THE 20S THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
FOR THE DELTA REGION. PRECIPITATION WILL TAPPER DOWN AFTER 4AM FOR
THE DELTA AND BY DAWN FOR CENTRAL AND EASTERN AREAS OF THE ADVISORY.
SOME LIGHT FREEZING DRIZZLE COULD BE POSSIBLE THROUGH PERIODS OF THE
MORNING. TEMPERATURES WILL STRUGGLE TO GET ABOVE FREEZING ACROSS THE
NORTH TO ONLY THE MID TO UPPER 40S IN THE SOUTH.

A QUIET PERIOD WILL BE ON TAP FOR MONDAY EVENING AND EARLY TUESDAY
BUT BY MID MORNING TUESDAY, ANOTHER S/WV TROUGH WILL PASS OVER THE
REGION AND WITH COLD TEMPS STILL IN PLACE...ANOTHER ROUND OF
SLEET/FREEZING RAIN COULD OCCUR INTO EARLY TUESDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS
SOUTH MS AND LA. PRECIP AT THIS TIME APPEARS LIGHT WITH LITTLE
IMPACTS EXPECTED WITH WARMING TEMPS THAT AFTERNOON BUT THIS WILL BEAR
WATCHING. /ALLEN/

LONG TERM...MODELS STILL HAVE SOME DIFFERENCES WITH HOW THEY HANDLE
THE LATER WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT PERIOD...ALTHOUGH
DIFFERENCES ARE NOT AS GREAT AS WAS THE CASE YESTERDAY. CONSENSUS
SUGGESTS THE PREVIOUSLY-MENTIONED SOUTHERN STREAM DISTURBANCE WILL
DEEPEN OVER THE LOWER MS VALLEY WHILE SPURRING LOW LEVEL
CYCLOGENESIS NEAR THE CENTRAL GULF COAST. OUR REGION SHOULD BE ON
THE BACKSIDE OF THIS DEVELOPING COASTAL LOW SO ANTICIPATE MOSTLY
STRATIFORM RAIN AND CONTINUED COOL TEMPERATURES OVER THIS
PERIOD...WITH WETNESS MOST CONCENTRATED IN EASTERN AND SOUTHEASTERN
MS. PREVIOUS MODEL SOLUTIONS SUGGESTED DYNAMIC LIFT WITH UL
DEFORMATION ZONE PASSAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF CHILLY TEMPS COULD
POSSIBLY DELIVER A WET SNOWFLAKE OR TWO THURSDAY. BUT THAT VERY
MINOR POTENTIAL LOOKING EVEN LESS LIKELY WITH NEW MODELS RUNS WHICH
TREND SLIGHTLY WARMER.

BY FRIDAY WE SHOULD HOPEFULLY BE IN STORE FOR RIDGING ALOFT WORKING
IN FROM THE WEST...AT LEAST TEMPORARILY. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR
IMPROVING/WARMING TEMPERATURES INTO THE WEEKEND. UNFORTUNATELY THE
SOUTHERN STREAM LOOKS TO REMAIN RATHER CHAOTIC SO DRY CONDITIONS FOR
NEXT WEEKEND IS NOT YET A SURE BET. /BB/
