AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
430 AM CDT SUN JUL 5 2015

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...THE DOGGED UPPER LOW IS
STILL SPINNING IN THE VICINITY OF THE REGION...WITH THE CENTER OF
CIRCULATION EARLY THIS MORNING MADE OBVIOUS BY ROTATING SHOWERS IN
SOUTHERN MIDDLE TN. DESPITE THE LOWER MS VALLEY BEGINNING TO BE IN
THE WAKE OF THIS LOW ITS INFLUENCE ON OUR WEATHER WILL STILL BE
CONSIDERABLE TODAY. EXPECT THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AXIS
FEEDING INTO THE UPPER LOW TO TRAIL ACROSS THE HEART OF THE
REGION...HELPING TO INSTIGATE A FAIR AMOUNT OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS. CURRENT POSITION OF CONVECTION REVEALS THAT HIRES
MODEL CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE WITH FINE DETAILS OF CONVECTIVE
PLACEMENT...MAINLY SINCE SYNOPTIC FORCING IS GROWING MORE SUBTLE AND
THEREFORE MAKING THESE MODEL SOLUTIONS PRONE TO LARGE CHANGES BASED
ON MESOSCALE FEATURES. MANY PREVIOUS MODEL RUNS IN THE PAST 24 HOURS
SUGGESTED POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS BREAKING OUT BY
NOW IN THE NORTHWEST HALF OF ZONES...BUT BY FAR THE MOST VIGOROUS
AND ORGANIZED STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED JUST SOUTH OF MERIDIAN AND ARE
NOW TRYING TO PUSH IN WEST-CENTRAL AL.

THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH SHOWERS AND STORMS AROUND THROUGH THE MORNING
TO MIDDAY HOURS TO LIMIT HEATING IN MANY LOCATIONS...THUS HELPING TO
KEEP INSTABILITY FROM GETTING OUT OF HAND IN MOST SPOTS. THAT IS
GOOD SINCE ABOVE AVERAGE SHEAR LEVELS FOR MID-SUMMER COULD HELP KICK
UP SOME SEVERE STORMS IF INSTABILITY WAS HIGH. HOWEVER...EXPECTED
PARAMETER SPACE THIS AFTERNOON IN SOUTHERN ZONES IS STILL A BIT
WORRISOME BECAUSE THERE ML CAPE VALUES MIGHT APPROACH 3000
J/KG...BOOSTED BY INCREASING TROPOSPHERIC LAPSE RATES. IN THOSE
SOUTHERN AREAS THE POTENTIAL SHEAR AND INSTABILITY COMBO SEEMS
SUFFICIENT TO INCLUDE A LIMITED SEVERE RISK IN THE HWO. ALSO FOR
THOSE SAME AREAS WE WILL MENTION A LIMITED RISK OF FLASH FLOOD SINCE
SOME OF THAT AREA GOT SOAKED YESTERDAY AND COULD END UP WITH A LARGE
DOUSING AGAIN TODAY.

THE UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE WEAKENING GRADUALLY TONIGHT ALTHOUGH THE
TRAILING LOOSE LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE AXIS WILL STILL RUN ACROSS THE
THE REGION FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST. SHOWERS AND STORMS COULD
VERY WELL BE ISOLATED AT BEST IN THE EVENING BUT THE PRESENCE OF THE
BOUNDARY COULD BE A FOCUS FOR LATE NIGHT CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT YET
AGAIN. AT THIS POINT NOTHING WAS INCLUDED FOR THAT PERIOD OF THE HWO
SINCE UNCERTAINTY IN DETAILS IS LARGE AND INGREDIENTS FOR FOCUSED
TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF TORRENTIAL RAINFALL WILL BE
DECREASING.

ON MONDAY THE UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE WEAKENING AND MOVING FURTHER
EAST. THE TRAILING CONVERGENCE AXIS WILL STILL BE HANGING AROUND AT
LEAST IN EASTERN PORTIONS OF MS THROUGH MIDDAY TO EARLY AFTERNOON
ALTHOUGH IT SHOULD BE ENTIRELY EAST OF OUR REGION BY EVENING.
ANTICIPATE SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS OVER EASTERN ZONES ALTHOUGH
WESTERN ZONES WILL BE DRYING OUT AND STARTING THE GRADUAL PROCESS OF
HEATING UP. /BB/

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...AFTER A RATHER ACTIVE AND
WET NORTHWEST FLOW REGIME....THE WEATHER PATTERN WILL SHIFT FOR MUCH
OF THE WORK WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. ON TUESDAY A FRONT LOOKS TO BE
NEARING THE REGION BUT NEVER QUITE MAKES IT IN AS THE UPPER RIDGE
BUILDS BACK TO THE WEST ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES. THIS
WILL KEEP THE FRONT PUSHED OFF TO OUR NORTH AND MOST OF THE RAIN
CHANCES OUT OF THE REGION THROUGH THE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.
HOWEVER...THIS WILL ALSO MEAN THAT TEMPERATURES WILL INCREASE DURING
THIS TIME PERIOD. WHILE RECENT RAINS MAY LIMIT HOW QUICKLY WE HEAT
UP THROUGH THE WEEK...IT LOOKS LIKE THE AREA SHOULD SEE TEMPERATURES
AROUND 90-95 DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. WITH ENOUGH MOISTURE
PRESENT...WE COULD SEE HEAT INDICES REACH BACK CLOSE TO THE CENTURY
MARK BY MID-WEEK AND PERHAPS NEAR 105 DEGREES BY WEEKS END.
OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S WILL PROVIDE SOME RELIEF.
SOME AFTERNOON CONVECTION COULD BE POSSIBLE BUT IT LOOKS LIKE ANY
ACTIVITY WOULD BE ISOLATED AND POPS ARE KEPT RATHER LOW DURING THE
PERIOD. BY THE WEEKEND...THE CENTER OF THE RIDGE WILL BE LOCATED
ACROSS TEXAS AND HEADING WEST TOWARD THE WEST COAST THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR SOME TROUGHING TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE
EASTERN THIRD OF THE COUNTRY AND MAY ALLOW FOR SOME BETTER RAIN
CHANCES TO SNEAK INTO THE REGION. /28/

&&

.AVIATION...PATCHY MVFR FLIGHT CATS DUE TO CEILINGS AND/OR FOG
CANNOT BE RULED OUT THROUGH 9 OR 10 AM THIS MORNING...ALTHOUGH MOST
SPOTS WILL EXPERIENCE MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS. SOME VERY LOCALIZED AND
RATHER BRIEF IFR ALSO CANNOT BE RULED OUT THROUGH THE DAY AS
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP. WINDS WILL BE FROM THE
WEST TO SOUTHWEST AND MAINLY 10 MPH OR LESS. /BB/
