Severe Thunderstorm Warning 287, NWS Jackson, MS

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
430 PM CDT WED JUL 15 2015

.DISCUSSION...A LOOSE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENT BOUNDARY LEFT IN THE WAKE
OF ORGANIZED MIDSOUTH STORMS YESTERDAY IS NOW ALIGNED FROM LIT ESE
TO BHM AND TRIGGERING SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. THIS BOUNDARY IS ALSO
ESSENTIALLY WORKING TO POOL BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE IN MY NORTHERN
ZONES...SPIKING HEAT INDICES ABOVE 110 IN SOME CASES AND DRIVING
SBCAPE VALUES UP TO NEARLY 6000 J/KG. MY LATE MORNING ASSESSMENT DID
NOT QUITE ANTICIPATE SO MUCH CAPE MATERIALIZING ALONG THE BOUNDARY
THIS AFTERNOON...BUT WITH THE NEW INFO IT SEEMS THE HIGH INSTABILITY
COULD INDEED OVERCOME CAPPING AND LACK OF SYNOPTIC FORCING
RESERVATIONS FROM EARLIER. FOR THAT REASON WE INCLUDED A LIMITED
RISK OF SEVERE STORMS IN THE HWO ACROSS BASICALLY NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL ZONES THROUGH THIS EVENING AS LATEST HRRR THINKING OF VERY
LOOSELY ORGANIZED STORM SEGMENTS ADVANCING SOUTHWARD INTO THE
EVENING LOOKS ENTIRELY BELIEVABLE. THE MAIN THREAT WITH THIS
ACTIVITY WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS GUSTS ALTHOUGH TREMENDOUS RAINFALL
RATES MAY BE CAPABLE OF VERY ISOLATED FLOODING ISSUES. ALSO EXPECT
SOME EXTREME LIGHTNING RATES FROM SOME OF THESE STORMS ALONG THE
HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR...WHICH IS OF COURSE ALWAYS A HAZARD.

THE HEAT IS THE OTHER BIG...AND CONTINUING...STORY. THE PREVIOUSLY-
MENTIONED EXTREME SPIKE IN HEAT INDEX VALUES UP IN THE ARKLAMISS
DELTA THIS AFTERNOON HAS BRIEFLY EXCEEDED EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING
CRITERIA AND THERE WAS TALK OF PERHAPS GOING WITH A HEAT WARNING IN
THOSE SPOTS THROUGH TOMORROW. HOWEVER...UPON FURTHER
CONSIDERATION...WE DECIDED TO MAINTAIN THE HEAT ADVISORY STATUS
SINCE THE MOISTURE POOLING NEAR THE CONVERGENCE ZONE SHOULD NOT BE
SUCH AN ISSUE TOMORROW AND THUS PEAK HEAT INDICES UP THERE A LITTLE
TAMER. OVERALL...THE HEAT ADVISORY IN OUR AREA FOR AREAS ALONG AND
NORTH OF ACME LA...TO JACKSON MS...TO MEI LINE THROUGH THURSDAY WAS
EXTENDED THROUGH FRIDAY. SOME LOCATIONS CURRENTLY TO THE SOUTH OF
THE ADVISORY MAY HAVE TO BE ADDED IN BEFORE FRIDAY...BUT THE CURRENT
REGIME IS OFFERING INCREASED MIXING OF DRIER DEWPOINTS ALOFT TO THE
SURFACE ACROSS SOUTHERN ZONES (WHICH IS EFFECTIVELY LIMITING PEAK
HEAT INDEX VALUES TO AROUND THE CENTURY MARK). PAST FRIDAY THERE IS
DEFINITELY DECENT POTENTIAL THAT THE HEAT WILL ACTUALLY WORSEN IN
ALL AREAS THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH SOME ACTUAL AIR TEMPERATURES IN
SPORADIC SPOTS HITTING 100 DEGREES. IT IS AT THIS POINT THAT A
WIDESPREAD HEAT ADVISORY...AND PERHAPS EVEN SOME HEAT
WARNINGS...WILL HAVE TO BE STRONGLY CONSIDERED.

IN TERMS OF CONVECTIVE TRENDS...AFTER EVENING ACTIVITY DIMINISHES
EXPECT LITTLE POTENTIAL FOR MUCH TO LINGER OVERNIGHT WITH ANY
DIURNALLY-DRIVEN CONVECTION TOMORROW LIKELY CONFINED TO FAR EASTERN
MS (AND THEN INTO SOUTHEAST MS BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON). THE UPPER RIDGE
CENTER MIGRATING MORE FIRMLY OVERHEAD OF THE REGION DURING THIS TIME
FRAME WILL PUSH SEMI-ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WAY NORTH AND
EAST OF OUR REGION. /BB/

&&

.AVIATION...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT MOST SITES THROUGH
THE FORECAST PERIOD. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS LOOK TO DEVELOP AND
SINK  SOUTH INTO THE AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING. GLH/GWO/GTR MAY BE
IMPACTED WITH BRIEF GUSTY WINDS...MVFR FLIGHT CATS AND COPIOUS
LIGHTNING. TOMORROW ANY AFTERNOON ISOLATED STORMS SHOULD MAINLY BE
CONFINED TO GTR/CBM/NMM/MEI AREA. /7/BB/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 417 AM CDT WED JUL 15 2015/

PREVIOUS LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...WE'RE BEGINNING TO
SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD BUT...EXCESSIVE HEAT CONTINUES TO BE THE
PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN THROUGH THE EXTENDED.

THE MID/UPPER RIDGE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RECENT HOT STREAK WILL BUILD
EASTWARD LATE THIS WEEK AND BECOME CENTERED OVER THE DEEP SOUTH OVER
BY THE WEEKEND, BRINGING POSSIBLY THE WARMEST CONDITIONS SO FAR
DURING THIS HEAT WAVE. AT THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE CENTERED
OVER THE GULF OF MEXICO, MAINTAINING MAINLY SWLY LOW LEVEL FLOW.
ALONG WITH CONTINUED ABOVE NORMAL SURFACE TEMPS, HIGHER MID LEVEL
TEMPS WILL MAKE FOR STRONGER CAPPING, ESPECIALLY THE FARTHER WEST
YOU ARE IN THE CWA. WHILE POPS (PRIMARILY ISOLATED) WILL REMAIN IN
THE FORECAST OVER SOUTHERN AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA EACH
AFTERNOON THROUGH THE WEEKEND, MOST ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE
RATHER INNOCUOUS. THOUGH SOME MIXING WILL OCCUR DURING THE DAY,
DEWPOINTS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN UP IN THE 70S, ESPECIALLY ACROSS
THE ARKLAMISS DELTA. THIS MEANS TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT INDICES WILL
CONTINUE TO BE PERVASIVE DURING THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON HOURS
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

BY EARLY NEXT WEEK, THERE ARE SOME HINTS THE MID/UPPER RIDGE WILL
BEGIN TO WEAKEN OR AT LEAST THE RIDGE AXIS WILL RETROGRADE BACK
TOWARD THE LOWER PLAINS. THOUGH MODEL AGREEMENT BECOMES WORSE BY
THIS TIME FRAME, INDICATIONS ARE THAT DIURNAL CONVECTION MAY BECOME
MORE PREVALENT BY MONDAY OR TUESDAY. THE EURO EVEN HINTS AT A WEAK
FRONT MAKING A PUSH TOWARD THE AREA BY MIDWEEK. REGARDLESS, THE
PRESENCE OF MORE CLOUDS WOULD SUGGEST MAX TEMPS WILL AT LEAST BEGIN
TRENDING BACK IN THE "RIGHT" DIRECTION. /DL/
