AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
355 PM CDT WED APR 15 2015

.DISCUSSION...COVERAGE OF SHOWERS/STORMS LOOK TO BE ISOLATED OVERNIGHT
AS THE SFC LOW TRACKS TO THE NORTHEAST. MOISTURE WILL BE A BIT
HIGHER THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT AS PW VALUES RETURN TO NEAR 1.8
INCHES. THIS...ALONG WITH DAYTIME HEATING AND WEAK
DISTURBANCES...WILL BRING BETTER COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS TO
THE REGION ESPECIALLY FOR SOUTHERN PORTIONS. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE
IN THE 60S WITH HIGHS THURSDAY MAINLY IN THE UPPER 70S TO AROUND 80.

FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE UNSETTLED WET PATTERN WITH THE ACTIVE
SOUTHERN JETSTREAM WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY. THE UPPER JET
WILL CONTINUE TO AID IN PROVIDING PERIODS OF LIFT AS A SERIES OF
DISTURBANCES TRACK THROUGH THE SOUTHERN STREAM. MODELS CONTINUE TO
HAVE ISSUES WITH TRACKING THE HIGHEST RAINFALL POTENTIAL AREAS WITH
MESO-SCALE FEATURES INVOLVED. THUS TIMING AND DETAILS REMAIN TOUGH
TO NAIL DOWN THROUGH THE UNSETTLED PERIOD. ANOMALOUS MOISTURE WILL
CONTINUE UNTIL SATURDAY NIGHT. EXPECT THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL RATES...WHICH WILL BRING SOME
RISK OF FLASH FLOODING. AN ADDITIONAL 1-3 INCHES APPEARS POSSIBLE
FRI WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. A TREND THAT DOES SEEM A
BIT MORE CLEAR IS THAT THE S 2/3RDS OF THE CWA HAS THE BEST
POTENTIAL TO SEE THE HIGHER RAIN TOTALS.

FOR THE SUN-WED PERIODS...LOOK FOR DRIER AND SLIGHTLY COOLER TO BE
THE TREND AS SOME GUIDANCE PUSHES THE FRONT THROUGH THE REGION AS
THE NORTHERN STREAM FINALLY PHASES. /27/28/17/CE/

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL AT ALL TAF SITES THROUGH THE
EVENING. VCTS WILL CONTINUE IN THE HBG AREA UNTIL AROUND 16/02Z.
MVFR/IFR CEILINGS WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA ONCE AGAIN AFTER 16/06Z.
VSBYS WILL MOSTLY STAY IN THE MVFR CATEGORY...BUT LIFR VSBYS IN FOG
ARE MORE PROBABLE OVER HBG HEADING TOWARD 16/12Z. CONDITIONS WILL
IMPROVE TO MVFR BY 16/15Z./26/
