AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
955 AM CST DEC 25 2015

.UPDATE...LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY WAS PICKING UP A LARGE UPPER
TROUGH OVER THE WESTERN CONUS...WHICH WAS RESULTING IN DEEP SOUTH-
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW OVER THE REGION. THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WAS
BEING ENHANCED BY A LOW AMPLITUDE IMPULSE CROSSING THE MIDSOUTH
REGION. THE DEEP SOUTHERLY FLOW WAS BRINGING IN STRONG MOISTURE
TRANSPORT WITH ANOMALOUS PWATS IN THIS TROPICAL AIRMASS AROUND 1.8
INCHES. THIS HAS RESULTED IN SOME FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS IN THE DELTA
THIS MORNING. A COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WAS NOTED ACROSS THE DELTA
REGION WITH TEMPS IN THE LOW TO MID 70S. AREA SNDGS AND MESOANALYSIS
SHOWED DECENT INSTABILITY, STRONG DEEP SHEAR, AND HELICITY ACROSS
THE REGION. ALSO UPPER DIVERGENCE WAS ENHANCING THE RAINS ACROSS THE
NORTH. AREA RADARS HAD PICKED UP SOME STRONG STORMS IN THE NORTH
ALONG WITH A FEW SEVERE STORMS THIS MORNING. CELLS WERE ROTATING
PRETTY GOOD. SHORT RANGE CONVECTIVE ALLOWING GUIDANCE SHOWS A BUSY
DAY ACROSS THE REGION. WITH FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT ACROSS THE
NORTH WPC IS HIGHLIGHTING THE NORTH FOR SOME HEAVY RAINFALL
POTENTIAL THROUGH TONIGHT. SO WITH THIS IN MIND WILL MAKE NO MAJOR
CHANGES TO TODAYS FORECAST./17/

.AVIATION...FOR NOW WILL MAINTAIN VFR CONDITIONS AT MOST SITES. RAIN
WILL BE SCATTERED FOR JAN/HKS THROUGH THE MORNING MAY ADD SOME VCTS
AND TEMPO GROUPS. STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS GREENVILLE FOR
THE NEXT FEW HOURS WITH HEAVY RAIN AND SOME FOG REDUCING VISIBILITY.
WILL MAINTAIN MVFR CONDITIONS. EXPECTING SIMILAR CONDITIONS TO
DEVELOP AT GWO BY NOON. EXPECTING RAIN TO END ACROSS THE AREA BEFORE
MIDNIGHT. HOWEVER...LOW STRATUS AND SOME FOG WILL LIKELY LEAD TO
MVFR CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA FROM 3 TO 15Z TOMORROW./7/

./PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...457 AM CST FRI DEC 25 2015

.SHORT TERM...

CHRISTMAS MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING...

ANOTHER STORMY DAY IS ON TAP FOR TODAY AS LARGE SCALE SW ISENTROPIC
ASCENT AND STRONG LOW/DEEP LAYER ARE STILL IN THE REGION. WV IMAGERY
INDICATES S/WV THAT WILL BRING OUR CHANCES FOR ACTIVE WEATHER
PATTERN IS MOVING INTO ERN TX/WRN LA AND WILL CONTINUE TO PROPAGATE
TOWARDS THE REGION. UPPER AIR ANALYSIS INDICATES THE UPPER RIDGE
OVER THE WRN ATLANTIC IS STRENGTHENING AND BUILDING W...HELPING TO
INCREASE H5 HEIGHTS IN OUR AREA. LOW LEVEL SRLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. EXPECT A WARM AND HUMID CHRISTMAS AFTERNOON
ACROSS THE REGION.

RIGHT NOW SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE ONGOING ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA
WHILE RIGHT ALONG THE WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY IN THE DELTA EFFICIENT
LIFT/MOISTURE TRANSPORT IS ONGOING AND WILL CONTINUE. ENSEMBLE
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS TABLE IS INDICATING ANOMALOUS MOISTURE...PER
THE NAEFS/GEFS...MOVING THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY IN N/NE
MS. WOULD NOT RULE OUT SOME LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING IN AREAS WHERE
STORMS CAN TRAIN AND MORE EFFICIENT RAINFALL RATES OCCUR. ALSO
EXPANDED THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS TODAY AS 30-40KTS 0-3KM
BULK SHEAR AND AGAIN 1500-2000 J/KG OF MLCAPE. THIS WITH EFFICIENT
LAPSE RATES APPROACHING 6.5-7.0 DEG C/KM WILL PROMOTE STRONG
UPDRAFTS AND POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL. A LOT OF THE HI-
RES ARW/NMM/ARW INDICATE THERE COULD BE SOME OF THE ACTIVITY IN THE
N TO GRADUALLY MOVE E AND SOME ORGANIZED BOWS TO DEVELOP. THUS THIS
AREA COULD SEE THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER WITH SOME
SOME THREAT EXTENDING FURTHER S. ANOTHER THING TO NOTE IS WITH NEAR
RECORD LOW LEVEL TEMPS...EXPECT ANOTHER NEAR OR ABOVE RECORD HIGHS
TODAY. MODELS SEEM TO BE STRUGGLING SOMEWHAT WITH LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY
LAYER TEMPS...WHICH SEEMED TO BE THE CASE YESTERDAY WHERE WARM AND
HUMID BOUNDARY LAYER OUTWEIGHED ANY HEIGHT RISES THAT WERE
OCCURRING...WHICH LED TO SEVERE STORMS AND SOME WERE VERY EFFICIENT
HAIL PRODUCERS. WITH CLOCKWISE CURVING HODOGRAPHS AND MID/DEEP LAYER
SHEAR IN PLACE...COULD NOT RULE OUT A TORNADO BUT SEEING SURGES IN
HI-RES GUIDANCE AND FLOW SOMEWHAT PARALLEL TO BOUNDARY...EXPECT
WINDS/HAIL AND FLASH FLOODING TO BE MORE LIKELY. FLASH FLOODING COULD
DEFINITELY BE A CONCERN TODAY IN AS HI-RES NSSL WRF INDICATES SOME
PRETTY HIGH TOTALS IN N/NE MS AS MOISTURE FEEDS IN FROM THE S.

EXPECT ANOTHER HUMID NIGHT TONIGHT AS LOWS WILL NOT BE MUCH
DIFFERENT THAN THIS MORNING. RAIN CHANCES WILL SLOWLY LESSEN TONIGHT
BUT WITH MOISTURE STILL LINGERING AROUND...COULD NOT RULE OUT SOME
SHOWERS AND STORMS IN THE AREA OVERNIGHT. HEIGHTS WILL BE SOMEWHAT
STABLE TO POSSIBLY RISING SOME AND LOW/MID LEVEL TEMPS WILL BE
WARMING INTO TOMORROW SO EXPECT ANOTHER WARM AND POSSIBLY RECORD DAY
IN STORE AGAIN SATURDAY. LUCKILY STORM CHANCES WILL BE LESSENING AS
WARMING MID LEVEL TEMPS WILL LESSEN LAPSE RATES AND OVERALL
INSTABILITY. STILL AGAIN COULD NOT RULE OUT SOME STORMS MAYBE STRONG
BUT EXPECT ANY COVERAGE TO NOT BE NEARLY AS MUCH AS ON FRIDAY.

STRONG 597DM H5 UPPER RIDGE OVER THE ATLANTIC WILL SLOWLY FLATTEN
AND BUILD BACK NW AS THE LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE WRN CONUS
GRADUALLY BECOMES CUT OFF AS A STRONG UPPER JET CUTS OFF THE FLOW TO
THE DEVELOPING UPPER LOW TO THE S. THIS WILL HELP DEVELOP A CUTOFF
LOW OVER THE FAR SRN PLAINS SAT NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING WHICH WILL
GRADUALLY INCREASE ISENTROPIC LIFT BACK AGAIN AND BEGIN SOME HEIGHT
FALLS IN THE AREA BEGINNING SUNDAY. THIS WILL HELP DEVELOP A LOW IN
SRN/CENTRAL TX AND STRONG BAROCLINIC ZONE TO OUR W WITH EXTREMELY
EFFICIENT RAINFALL RATES DUE TO ANOMALOUS MOISTURE AND FLOODING
ISSUES LIKELY IN THE OZARKS. OUR AREA WILL GRADUALLY BRING IN MORE
RAIN CHANCES IN THE WEST. WITH LESS LAPSE RATES...EXPECT SOME LIGHT
SHOWERS AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS IN OUR NW WITH SHOWERS ELSEWHERE. /DC/

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...MAIN FOCUS IN THE LONG TERM
REMAINS THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. SUNDAY
MORNING A LARGE CLOSED LOW WILL BE NEAR THE TEXAS BIG BEND REGION
WITH AN ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW NEAR THE TEXAS/MEXICO BORDER. OUR CWA
WILL HAVE A SLIGHTLY DRIER AIRMASS EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER BUT
PWATS WL POOL AROUND 1.80IN WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AHEAD OF
THE APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. BUFR SOUNDINGS INDICATE A
FAIRLY FORMIDABLE CAP OVER OUR CWA INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON
WHICH SHOULD  LIMIT CONVECTION AND HELP TEMPERATURES WARM WELL ABOVE
NORMAL AGAIN. MOST SITES SHOULD REACH THE UPPER 70S. RAIN CHANCES
WILL INCREASE OVER OUR WEST SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS THE CLOSED LOW MOVES
EAST OVER CENTRAL TEXAS. A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE
POSSIBLE OVER OUR WESTERN MOST ZONES BUT THE MAIN TIMING FOR SEVERE
STORMS IS EXPECTED SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING. THE
CLOSED LOW AND ITS ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE
NORTHEAST TO THE ARKLATEX REGION BY MONDAY MORNING THEN CONTINUE
NORTHEAST TO THE MIS MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY BY MONDAY EVENING.
THIS WILL SEND A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS OUR CWA SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY MORNING. A SQUALL LINE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NEAR OR JUST
AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT AND ENCOUNTER AN ENVIRONMENT
WITH MLCAPES AT LEAST 500-1000J/KG...0-6KM BULK SHEAR OF 45-50KTS
AND 0-3KM SREH AROUND 300M2/S2. DAMAGING WINDS LOOK TO BE THE
PRIMARY THREAT WITH A FEW TORNADOES AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
POSSIBLE AS WELL. MODEL CONSENSUS SUGGESTS THE SEVERE WEATHER
POTENTIAL WILL END A LITTLE FASTER MONDAY THAN THE THINKING LAST
NIGHT. DRY SLOTTING SHOULD END MOST OF THE SIGNIFICANT RAIN BY NOON
MONDAY BUT LIGHT PCPN WL REMAIN POSSIBLE UNTIL THE CLOSED LOW MOVES
A LITTLE FARTHER NORTH MONDAY EVENING. COOLER AND MUCH DRIER AIR IS
EXPECTED TO BE BACK OVER OUR CWA TUESDAY. TUESDAY MORNING LOWS WILL
BE BACK IN THE 40S WITH HIGHS TUESDAY MOSTLY IN THE 50S. TUESDAY
WILL BE DRY AS THE CLOSED LOW SYSTEM TRACKS FARTHER NORTHEAST OF OUR
CWA BUT OUR WINDS ALOFT WILL BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST AHEAD OF A SECOND
CLOSED LOW SWINGING OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. THE GFS AND ECMWF
ARE IN A LITTLE BETTER AGREEMENT AND OPEN THE LOW AND SWINGS A TROUGH
ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS WEDNESDAY. MOISTURE RETURN WILL BE
LIMITED WITH THIS TROUGH BUT BOTH MODELS GENERATE LIGHT QPF ACROSS
OUR REGION WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THURSDAY WILL BE COOL AND
DRY ACROSS OUR REGION. /22/
