NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Nov 17, 9:15 PM CST, 1 hour 22 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Nov 17, 9:15 PM CST, 1 hour 22 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
915 PM CST TUE NOV 17 2015

.UPDATE...AREA RADARS WERE PICKING UP THE CONVECTIVE BAND OF
THUNDERSTORMS OVER WESTERN MISSISSIPPI PUSHING TO THE EAST. CURRENT
HI-RES MODELS HAS BEEN PERSISTENT WITH THE TIMING OF THE LINE MOVING
THROUGH THE CWA. CURRENTLY WE HAVE TORNADO WATCH IN EFFECT FOR MOST OF THE
REGION UNTIL 3 AM. LATEST NAM MODEL PUSHES THE FRONT END OF THE
CONVECTIVE LINE OUT OF THE ARKLAMISS PRIOR TO DAWN WEDNESDAY. CURRENT LOWS IN THE
LOWER 50S NORTHWEST TO LOWER 60S EAST LOOK TO BE ON TRACK./17/

./PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...350 PM CST TUE NOV 17 2015
.DISCUSSION...SQUALL LINE IMPINGING ON WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA AT
THE MOMENT AND EXPECT IT TO CONTINUE SWEEPING EAST OVERNIGHT. BACK
EDGE OF PRECIP STILL EXTENDS AS FAR WEST AS EAST TX. RAINFALL
AMOOUNTS HAVE BEEN QUITE HEAVY OVER NORTH LA WITH REPORTS OF NEAR 3.5
INCHES TODAY IN SHV. THESE AMOUNTS WERE EXPECTED AND SHOULD SEE
AMOUNTS SIMILAR TO THIS OVER THE CWA OVERNIGHT.

SEVERE THREAT STILL LOOKS IMPRESSIVE ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING SHEAR AND
INSTABILITY HAVE OVERACHIEVED FROM WHAT WAS EXPECTED. BETTER
WARMTH/MOISTURE HAS YIELDED CAPES OVER 1000 J/KG ALONG THE MS RIVER
AHEAD OF THE SQUALL LINE LATE THIS AFTERNOON. ALSO...0-1KM BULK SHEAR
VALUES IMMEDIATELY AHEAD OF THE LINE HAVE MAXIMIZED AT 40 TO 50
KNOTS. WHILE CELLS HAVE JUST STARTED MOVING INTO THE AREA...HAVE
ALREADY NOTICED THE PREPONDERANCE WANTING TO ROTATE AS WOULD BE
EXPECTED. EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE...AT LEAST THROUGH THE
EVENING WHILE THE GOOD INSTABILITY LASTS.

HAVE OBSERVED 20 TO 30 KNOTS OF WIND ACROSS THE AREA WITH SOME GUSTS
AROUND 35 KNOTS OVER THE DELTA AS 80 DEGREE HEATING HAS CREATED DEEP
MIXING THIS AFTERNOON. WHILE PRESSURE GRADIENT SHOULD REMAIN TIGHT
ENOUGH AHEAD OF SQUALL LINE THIS EVENING FOR SUSTAINED WINDS OF 15 TO
25 KNOTS...BELIEVE THE GUSTS WILL DIMINISH SOMEWHAT WITH THE LOSS OF
HEATING. THUS...WILL LET WIND ADVISORY EXPIRE AT 00Z.

THE HEAVY RAINFALL SHOULD BE COMING TO AN END OVER WESTERN SECTIONS
TOWARD DAWN...BUT LINGER IN THE EAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING.
CLOUDS WILL QUICKLY MOVE OUT BEHIND THE RAIN WITH THE ENTIRE AREA
BEING CLEAR BY SUNSET WEDNESDAY.

OTHER THAN A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS WITH A PASSING WEAK DISTURBANCE
SATURDAY...DRY WEATHER WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD IN THE
DOMINANT ZONAL FLOW PATTERN./26/

&&

.AVIATION...WINDS WILL REMAIN RATHER GUSTY THROUGH THE NIGHT THE
WITH GUSTS OVER 30 KT POSSIBLE. LOWER STRATUS WILL FILL IN ACROSS
THE REGION BRINGING MVFR/IFR CIGS. A LINE OF TSRA WILL PUSH WEST TO
EAST CROSS THE REGION, REACHING THE I-55 CORRIDOR AROUND MIDNIGHT
AND THE I-59 CORRIDOR IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS WED. SEVERE WIND
GUSTS AND A FEW TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG THIS LINE. VISBYS
WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED AT TIMES IN +TSRA. IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS
WILL PERSIST ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION INTO WED MORNING BEHIND THE
LINE DUE TO LINGERING LOW STRATUS. /17/
