AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
810 AM CST MON DEC 28 2015

.UPDATE...IN COORDINATION WITH MEMPHIS AND MOBILE HAVE EXTENDED THE
TORNADO WATCH UNTIL 10 AM FOR OUR COUNTIES ALONG THE ALABAMA BORDER.
HAVE ALSO CANCELED WIND ADVISORY AND MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO WEATHER
GRIDS BASED ON RADAR TRENDS./17/

./PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...523 AM CST MON DEC 28 2015

.DISCUSSION...

TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

THE SQUALL LINE AND ASSOCIATED SEVERE THREAT IS MOVING EAST OF THE
HIGHWAY 49 CORRIDOR AS OF THIS WRITING...AND IT WILL EXIT THE
FORECAST AREA BY MID MORNING. INTENSE LOW LEVEL WINDS ARE CONTINUING
TO MIX DOWN AND WILL THUS KEEP THE CURRENT WIND ADVISORY GOING FOR
THIS MORNING. OTHERWISE...A MUCH DRIER AND MORE SEASONABLE AIRMASS
WILL MOVE IN BEHIND THE FRONT AND PERSIST THROUGH TUESDAY. TODAY WILL
END AN INCREDIBLE STRETCH OF WARMTH THAT HAS SEEN DAILY RECORDS
SMASHED BY AS MUCH AS 14 DEGREES. SOME OF THE RECENT LOW
TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN WARM BY EVEN JULY STANDARDS. /EC/

TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...

SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL IS STILL FORECAST TO DEVELOP TUESDAY NIGHT AND
LAST INTO WEDNESDAY OVER ROUGHLY THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE ARKLAMISS.
THE NEXT SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO ENTER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL HELP TO
BACK THE LOW LEVEL FLOW OVER THE LOWER MS VALLEY REGION. AS THIS
HAPPENS...THE STALLED BAROCLINIC ZONE ALONG THE PERIPHERY OF THE
STUBBORN SOUTHEAST CONUS RIDGE WILL BEGIN TO SHIFT BACK TO THE
NORTHWEST. STRONG LOW LEVEL THETAE ADVECTION WILL INCREASE
CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY (SHOWALTER INDICES ~ -2 WITH MOST UNSTABLE
CAPE > 500 J/KG) AND RESULT IN WIDESPREAD RAIN AND ELEVATED
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. DEEP UNIDIRECTIONAL FLOW COULD RESULT IN
TRAINING OF CONVECTION AND LOCALLY HEAVIER RAINFALL GREATER THAN WHAT
IS FORECAST. THE ECMWF HAS BEEN MOST BULLISH AND A FEW ECENS MEMBERS
ARE STILL QUITE HEAVY...BUT THE GFS IS BEGINNING TO MATCH THE ECMWF
MASS FIELDS AND THE MOST RECENT SREF/GEFS IS SOMEWHAT DISCONCERTING
IN SHOWING THAT THE SET-UP COULD BE SLOWER TO LEAVE WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR AS THIS SCENARIO
MAY EVENTUALLY REQUIRE SOME MENTION OF HEAVY RAIN IN THE
HWO/GRAPHICS.

AS WE GO LATER INTO THE WEEK AND THE NEW YEAR...A BIG PATTERN CHANGE
IS IN STORE FOR THE ARKLAMISS. MODELS GENERALLY AGREE THAT RIDGING
ALONG THE WEST COAST WILL FORCE NORTHERLY FLOW AND THE INFLUX OF COLD
POLAR AIR INTO THE ARKLAMISS AND SUPPRESSION OF THE SOUTHEAST CONUS
RIDGE. WHILE THE INTENSITY OF THE COLD SHOULD NOT BE ANOMALOUS...IT
WILL FEEL THAT WAY DUE TO THE RECENT WARMTH. CURRENT FORECAST HIGH
TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 40S WOULD BE AROUND 35 DEG F COLDER THAN
CURRENTLY BEING EXPERIENCED. TO ADD TO THE CHILL...EXTENSIVE MID/HIGH
LEVEL CLOUDINESS ASSOCIATED WITH A MINOR PERTURBATION SHOULD LIMIT
HEATING FRIDAY AND POTENTIALLY KEEP HIGHS LOWER THAN FORECAST. EXPECT
THE COLDER PATTERN TO PERSIST INTO THE WEEKEND AND LIKELY BEYOND.

ONE THING TO ADD HERE IS THAT MODELS ARE COMING IN MORE PRONOUNCED
WITH THE COASTAL BAROCLINIC ZONE AND INDICATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF
SUFFICIENT ISENTROPIC UPGLIDE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIGHT
PRECIPITATION FROM FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY...ESPECIALLY ALONG/S OF THE
I-2O CORRIDOR WHERE SEVERAL GEFS MEMBERS SHOW MEASURABLE RAINFALL.
AT THIS TIME IT LOOKS LIKE THIS WOULD BE IN LIQUID PHASE...BUT WILL
NEED TO MONITOR FOR SLEET POTENTIAL IF TRENDS CONTINUE. IN THE
LEAST...WILL NEED TO CONSIDER INCREASING POPS FOR FRIDAY INTO
SATURDAY. /EC/

&&

.AVIATION...SQUALL LINE WILL MOVE EAST OF THE AREA BY MID MORNING
WITH ALL RAINFALL ENDING QUICKLY THEREAFTER. THERE SHOULD BE A SHORT
DURATION OF CLEARING BUT THIS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED BY MVFR CATEGORY
CIGS EXPECTED IN THE FOLLOWING COLD ADVECTION PATTERN GOING THROUGH
TONIGHT. /EC/
