Area forecast discussion, Apr 18, 4:25 PM CDT, 3 hours 11 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 425 PM CDT SAT APR 18 2015 .DISCUSSION... PERSISTENT THUNDERSTORMS IN THE WESTERN AND NORTH CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO HAVE HAD A BIG IMPACT ON THE WEATHER OVER THE LOWER MS VALLEY TODAY...DELAYING THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AND SOMEWHAT LIMITING INGREDIENTS NEEDED FOR SEVERE WEATHER PRODUCTION. AS I WRITE WE ARE FINALLY SEEING A BETTER COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND A FEW STORMS BUILD NORTH INTO THE REGION AS A SURFACE LOW NEAR THE ARKLATEX GAINS A LITTLE STRENGTH AND PULLS SLOWLY NORTHWARD. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE TO INCREASE OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS...BUT MLCAPE VALUES LESS THAN 1000 J/KG AND LOW LEVEL SHEAR COMPROMISED BY ANOMALOUS GULF CONVECTION WILL ONLY SUPPORT OF LIMITED THREAT OF SEVERE OF WEATHER (AND MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE CORRIDOR). IN THESE SAME AREAS LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN...ALTHOUGH NOT A LARGE ENOUGH CONCERN AT THE MOMENT TO STRONGLY CONSIDER A FLASH FLOOD WATCH. LATER TONIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY THE TROUGH CURRENTLY IN THE PLAINS WILL BE APPROACHING AND INCREASING ATMOSPHERIC LAPSE RATES FROM WEST TO EAST. THIS EVOLUTION WILL CREATE A SITUATION WHERE CAPE/SHEAR COMBINATIONS WILL TREND TO BEING MORE FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE WEATHER PRODUCTION...DESPITE A SYNOPTIC SITUATION NOT FAVORABLE FOR MORE THAN ISOLATED STORMS. THIS REGIME WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY LATER TONIGHT AND THROUGH THE MORNING TOMORROW. PERSONALLY...CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING THAT A STRAY AND VERY ISOLATED (YET POTENTIALLY DAMAGING) SUPERCELL MAY AFFECT A FEW LOCATIONS NORTH OF I-20 IN THE AFTERNOON. THE RISK FOR THIS WILL OF COURSE BE MONITORED...BUT WE STILL ANTICIPATE THE MAIN WINDOW OF SEVERE WEATHER RISK FOR TOMORROW TO COME IN THE EVENING HOURS ALONG A PRE- FRONTAL TROUGH AXIS SLIDING IN FROM THE WEST. DURING THAT TIME A BROKEN LINE OF SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND A TORNADO OR TWO WILL BE MOVING INTO THE ARKLAMISS DELTA BETWEEN 8 AND 10 PM. THE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER IN THESE ARKLAMISS DELTA ZONES WILL INITIALLY BE SIGNIFICANT...WITH THE RISK GRADUALLY WANING THROUGH THE LATE EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AS ACTIVITY PUSHES SOUTHEAST AND BECOMES MORE ISOLATED AND PROGRESSIVELY WEAKER. HOWEVER...JUST BECAUSE A GRADUAL WEAKENING TREND IS EXPECTED AS ACTIVITY PUSHES THROUGH THE CWA DOESN'T MEAN ANYBODY IN THE ARKLAMISS REGION SHOULD IGNORE THE RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER TOMORROW NIGHT. /BB/ && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 454 AM CDT SAT APR 18 2015/ LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY....MONDAY MORNING THE LARGE CLOSED LOW IS EXPECTED TO BE CENTERED OVER THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WITH ASSOCIATED LARGE AMPLITUDE UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING OVER THE EASTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE CONUS. MODELS AGREE THAT THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW WILL BE OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION MONDAY MORNING BUT THERE ARE TIMING DIFFERENCES WITH THE TRAILING COLD FRONT THAT IS EXPECTED TO BE OVER SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. CONSENSUS PLACES THIS COLD FRONT AND THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION JUST SOUTHEAST OF OUR CWA AT DAYBREAK BUT WL MAINTAIN LOW CHANCES OF LIGHT RAIN IN OUR NORTHEAST THROUGH MID MORNING AS A WEAK SHORTWAVE PASSES OVER OVERHEAD. DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED AREAWIDE BY NOON. SLIGHTLY COOLER AND MUCH DRIER AIR WILL FILTER INTO OUR CWA MONDAY KNOCKING DEW POINTS INTO THE 40S DURING THE AFTERNOON. DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO LAST OVER OUR CWA THROUGH TUESDAY AS A SURFACE HIGH MOVES EAST ACROSS OUR AREA. THIS SURFACE HIGH WILL SHIFT EAST WEDNESDAY AND THE RESULTING RETURN FLOW WILL INCREASE MOISTURE TO SUPPORT RAIN CHANCES AGAIN FROM THE WEST BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. WARMER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND GREATER RAIN CHANCES ARE EXPECTED FOR THE END OF THE WEEK BUT THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN THE MODELS WITH SOME MAIN FEATURES. THE NORTHERN CLOSED LOW WILL MOVE SLOWLY EAST ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AND BE OVER THE NEW ENGLAND STATES BY FRIDAY. THIS LOW WILL TRY TO HELP SUPPORT ANOTHER COLD FRONT DROPPING INTO OUR CWA THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY BUT INDUCED SHORTWAVE RIDGING DOWNSTREAM OF A SECOND CLOSED LOW MOVING OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST THURSDAY LOOKS TO IMPEDE THE COLD FRONT INTO OUR AREA. SHORTWAVES ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE SOUTHERN CLOSED LOW LOOK TO COMBINE WITH INCREASING MOISTURE AND DAYTIME HEATING FOR A ROUND OF CONVECTION THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. BOTH GFS AND ECMWF OPEN THE CLOSED LOW AND BRING THE REMAINING SHORTWAVE TROUGH ACROSS OUR REGION SATURDAY BUT DIFFER ON THE SURFACE FEATURES WITH THE GFS DEPICTING A MUCH DEEPER LOW AND STRONGER COLD FRONT ACROSS OUR AREA. FOR NOW...GREATEST POPS THROUGH THE LONG TERM WILL BE CARRIED FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. /22/ && .AVIATION...MOST SITES ARE MVFR THIS AFTERNOON AND EXPECT THESE CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS. SHRA/TSRA ARE DEVELOPING AND WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING BRINGING WITH IT OCCASIONAL IFR CONDITIONS. SHRA WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD WITH IFR CONDITIONS RETURNING AFTER 07-08Z FOR ALL SITES. THE WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT OUT OF THE EAST TO SOUTHEAST BECOMING SOUTHWESTERLY EARLY ON SUNDAY./15/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
