AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1045 AM CST THU DEC 24 2015

.UPDATE...DEEP CONVECTION IS CURRENTLY TRAINING FROM NEAR LAKE
PONCHATRAIN EAST/NORTHEAST THROUGH FAR SOUTHERN MS AND INTO SOUTHERN
AL. THIS ACTION IS ENTIRELY SOUTH OF OUR REGION AT PRESENT...BUT IS
SHOWING A TENDENCY TO GRADUALLY LIFT. THE ACTUAL SURFACE BOUNDARY IS
ROUGHLY PARALLEL TO THIS CONVECTIVE AXIS...BUT WELL TO THE
NORTH...AND AT THIS POINT ONLY ROUGHLY SKIRTING OUR FAR NORTHWEST
ARKLAMISS DELTA. FOG HAS BEEN AN ISSUE THIS MORNING ACROSS MAINLY
WESTERN ZONES AND IS ONLY GRADUALLY LIFTING (ALTHOUGH VISIBILITIES
ARE HIGH ENOUGH HAVE ALLOWED THE DENSE FOG ADVISORY TO EXPIRE AT 10
AM). EXPECT COMPLETE VISIBILITY IMPROVEMENT IN THE AFTERNOON.

THE WEATHER SITUATION OVER THE NEXT 36 HOURS WILL BE TRICKY OWING TO
THE ANOMALOUSLY WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS INTERACTING WITH THE BOUNDARY
STALLED IN THE VICINITY OF THE REGION. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT
TONIGHT AS LOW LEVEL FLOW BACKS ENHANCED MOISTURE CONVERGENCE WILL
SET UP NEAR SAID SURFACE BOUNDARY AND FOCUS SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT ACROSS NORTHERN (ESPECIALLY NORTHWESTERN) ZONES. THERE IS
SUFFICIENT SHEAR AND INSTABILITY TO WORRY ABOUT SOME SEVERE WEATHER
WITH DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND HAIL BEING THE PRIMARY
CONCERN...ALTHOUGH A TORNADO CANNOT BE COMPLETELY RULED OUT. THAT
ACTIVITY STARTING TONIGHT WILL LINGER IN NORTHERN ZONES WELL INTO
TOMORROW BUT THERE IS SOME QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT CONVECTION
MIGHT NOT GET FOCUSED ENTIRELY NORTHWEST OF OUR REGION DURING THIS
TIME FRAME.

OTHERWISE...FOR TODAY...WE ARE SOMEWHAT CONCERNED A FOCUSED HEAVY
RAIN THREAT MIGHT TEMPORARILY DEVELOP NEAR THE HBG AREA INTO THE
AFTERNOON BEFORE THIS CONVECTIVE TRAINING LINE BREAKS UP. AFTER THAT
POINT EXPECT LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING FOR ISOLATED TO
SCATTERED STORMS OF PERHAPS SOME POTENCY TO BREAK OUT ACROSS THE
HEART OF THE REGION BEFORE QUICKLY SETTING UP NEAR THE STALLED
FRONT...AS MENTIONED EARLIER.

AS FAR AS THE HWO AND GRAPHICS GO...WE WILL DO UPDATES RIGHT NOW TO
FOCUS CONCERN TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW ON A LIMITED RISK OF SEVERE
STORMS AND HEAVY RAINFALL IN NORTHERN ZONES. HOWEVER...THE SITUATION
IS ONE THAT IS QUICKLY EVOLVING AND MIGHT THROW A SURPRISE...SO AT
LEAST SOME MINOR TWEAKS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON. /BB/

&&

.AVIATION...CONDITIONS HAVE IMPROVED TO VFR ACROSS THE NORTH, BUT
REMAIN AT MVFR/IFR AT MOST OTHER SITES AS CIGS ARE SLOW TO RISE AND
LOW VISBYS PERSIST ACROSS W MS AND NE LA. VISBYS SHOULD IMPROVE
THROUGH LATE MORNING, BUT MVFR CIGS WILL LIKELY HANG ON IN CURRENTLY
AFFECTED AREAS THROUGH THE DAY. CIGS WILL THEN LIKELY DETERIORATE AT
ALL LOCATIONS TONIGHT INTO IFR/LIFR RANGE AS LOW STRATUS REDEVELOP.
THESE STRATUS MAY BE SLOW TO LIFT THROUGH THE MORNING ON CHRISTMAS
DAY. SCATTERED SHRA WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS SE MS TODAY, THEN THIS
EVENING INTO TONIGHT SCATTERED TSRA WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS ALL OF
THE AREA AND PARTICULARLY NORTH OF I-20 OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY
CHRISTMAS DAY. /DL/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 454 AM CST THU DEC 24 2015/

SHORT TERM...

THIS MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...

UPPER S/WV AND SFC LOW THAT BROUGHT SEVERE WEATHER JUST N OF
THE REGION...MAINLY IN AREAS IN N MS WHERE BEST HEIGHT FALLS AND
LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE FORMED...HAS NOW LIFTED QUICKLY INTO THE
GREAT LAKES. THE REGION IS STILL UNDER MODERATE LOW/MID LEVEL SHEAR
AND SOME AREAS ARE STILL GETTING GOOD RAINFALL ALONG A
MOISTURE CONVERGENT BAND OVER E/SE MS. WOULD NOT RULE OUT A
POSSIBILITY SOME STORM COULD BECOME STRONG IN THIS AREA THIS MORNING
BUT EXPECT MOST TO STAY TAME OVERALL. MAIN CONCERN THIS MORNING WAS
DENSE FOG MOVING INTO NE LA AND WRN MS. THE LIGHT FLOW AHEAD OF THE
STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS AIDING IN SOME DECOUPLING AND ENOUGH
RADIATIONAL COOLING FOR DENSE FOG TO DEVELOP. THIS HAS ALSO ADVECTED
INTO THE AREA FROM THE SW. EXPECT THIS TO BE AN ISSUE MAINLY ALONG
AND WEST OF THE MS RIVER THROUGH 10AM. UPDATED THE HWO/GRAPHICS AND
DENSE FOG ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR THESE AREAS THROUGH 10AM.

ANOTHER FEW ANOMALOUSLY WARM...RAINY AND STORMY DAYS ARE AHEAD AS
WE MOVE INTO CHRISTMAS EVE AND CHRISTMAS DAY. ENSEMBLE SITUATIONAL
AWARENESS TABLE IS INDICATING ANOMALOUSLY WARM 850 TEMPS PER THE
NAEFS/GEFS AS WE GO INTO THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. DUE TO THIS...TEMPS
FROM SOME WARMER GUIDANCE WAS USED AS WE HAVE BEEN NEAR RECORD WARMTH
OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS AND THE AIRMASS LOOKS TO REMAIN THE SAME
THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PERIOD.

OVERALL A STORMY AND WET PATTERN LOOKS TO REMAIN AS THE
BOUNDARY REMAINS IN THE REGION AND UPPER LEVEL ASCENT WILL STAY OVER
THE AREA. THERE COULD BE SOME POTENTIAL FOR SOME FOG UP IN THE
DELTA AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING BUT THERE WILL BE INCREASING RAINFALL
CHANCES FRIDAY MORNING. OVERALL THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WILL REMAIN
SIMILAR TODAY THROUGH THE SHORT TERM PERIOD WITH A VERY STRONG 597DM
UPPER LEVEL HIGH BUILDING TO THE W OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC
AND INCREASING HEIGHTS OVER OUR REGION THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THIS WILL
HELP TO SLOWLY MOVE THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY BACK TO THE NW AND
MOVE RAIN/STORM CHANCES TO THE NW GRADUALLY TODAY THROUGH
SATURDAY MORNING. SOME STORMS ARE POSSIBLE AS THERE WILL REMAIN
SUFFICIENT FLOW AND INSTABILITY. WOULD NOT RULE OUT SOME STRONGER
STORMS NEXT DAY OR SO AS 0-3KM FLOW WILL REMAIN AROUND 20-30KTS OR
SO WITH EFFICIENT INSTABILITY. BUT JUST LIKE THE CASE OF THE WEATHER
YESTERDAY...INCREASING HEIGHTS DOES NOT LOOK AS FAVORABLE AND WILL
KEEP THIS OUT OF THE HWO FOR NOW. MAIN STORY LOOKS TO BE RAINFALL
AS THE CIPS AND ENSEMBLE SITUATIONAL AWARENESS TABLE ARE INDICATING
ANOMALOUSLY HIGH...NEAR 99TH PERCENTILE...OF PWATS MOVING THROUGH
THE AREA. THIS WILL OCCUR AS MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND ISENTROPIC ASCENT
OCCURS AHEAD OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH SITUATED OVER THE WRN CONUS AND
GRADUAL SFC LOW CYCLOGENESIS TAKES PLACE OVER THE ERN ROCKIES/CENTRAL
PLAINS INTO THE WEEKEND. SOME HEAVY RAINFALL IS EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY
AS THE BOUNDARY DRIFTS NW INTO THE WEEKEND INTO THE OZARKS. DID NOT
MENTION IN THE HWO FOR NOW BUT WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED FOR LATER
UPDATES. /DC/

LONG TERM...

SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

THE LONG TERM WILL START OUT WITH RECORD WARM TEMPERATURES BUT A
LARGE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MONDAY WILL KNOCK TEMPERATURES BACK DOWN TO
SEASONAL NORMALS BY WEDNESDAY.

ANOTHER RECORD WARM START IS EXPECTED SATURDAY MORNING AS MOST SITES
WILL LIKELY SET NEW RECORD WARM MORNING LOWS. A WARM AND MOIST AIR
MASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE SATURDAY WITH PWATS AOA AN INCH AND A HALF
AND SURFACE DEW POINTS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S. AFTERNOON HIGHS WILL
BE NEAR RECORD AT MOST SITES AS WELL TOPPING OUT IN THE UPPER 70S TO
NEAR 80 DEGREES. NORMAL HIGHS RUN FROM THE LOWER 50S NORTH TO THE
LOWER 60S SOUTH. A DEEPENING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL CLOSE OFF OVER
THE DESERT SOUTHWEST BY NOON SATURDAY AND SWING EAST TO THE TEXAS
BIG BEND REGION BY NOON SUNDAY. INDUCED MID LEVEL RIDGING AHEAD OF
THIS CLOSED LOW AND SURFACE RIDGING FROM THE EAST WL WORK TO LIMIT
CONVECTION OVER OUR CWA SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY BUT DAYTIME HEATING
WILL LEAD TO SCATTERED STORMS SATURDAY AFTERNOON. RAIN CHANCES WILL
INCREASE FROM THE WEST SUNDAY AS THE CLOSED LOW MOVES EAST OVER THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS. THE GFS AND CANADIAN HAVE COME IN CLOSER TO A
SLOWER AND FARTHER SOUTH TRACK OF THE CLOSED LOW DEPICTED BY THE
ECMWF THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. THE CLOSED LOW AND ITS ASSOCIATED
SURFACE LOW WILL LIFT NORTHEAST MONDAY FROM CENTRAL TEXAS SENDING A
STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS OUR CWA. THERE REMAIN FAVORABLE
ENVIRONMENTAL INGREDIENTS SUGGESTING SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE
OVER OUR CWA FROM LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY INCLUDING THE DEVELOPMENT
OF A SQUALL LINE. 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. AS THIS CLOSED LOW SYSTEM
TRACKS FARTHER NORTHEAST OF OUR CWA TUESDAY OUR WINDS ALOFT WILL
BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST AHEAD OF A SECOND CLOSED LOW SWINGING OVER THE
DESERT SOUTHWEST. THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES WITH THE TRACK
AND EVOLUTION OF THIS LOW BUT SOME FORM OF AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
LOOKS TO SWING OVER OUR CWA WEDNESDAY AND BRING AT LEAST LOW CHANCES
FOR RAIN GOING INTO THURSDAY. /22/
