Area forecast discussion, Jul 4, 10:52 AM CDT, 3 hours 28 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1052 AM CDT SAT JUL 4 2015

.UPDATE...MAIN ISSUES THIS MORNING IS THE DEVELOPING MCS AND
HEAVY RAIN THREAT TO OUR W/NW AND HOW WILL THE EVOLUTION OF THIS
FEATURE ALONG WITH SFC OUTFLOW IMPACT STORMS FOR THE AFTERNOON. OUR
WEATHER TODAY IS BEING DRIVEN BY A COMPACT AND POTENT MID/UPPER
DISTURBANCE IN NW FLOW. THIS FEATURE HAS ENHANCED WIND FLOW THROUGH
ALL LEVELS ALONG WITH AN EXTREMELY DIFFLUENT UPPER JET TO OUR NW
WHICH IS CONTRIBUTING TO A SUBSTANTIAL RAINFALL EVENT WITH
BACKBUILDING CONVECTION. THE EARLY MORNING CONVECTION HAS PUSHED A
LARGE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SOUTHWARD AND THAT IS A FOCUS FOR NEW
DEVELOPMENT AS IT IS ENHANCING CONVERGENCE SOME AND INTERACTING
WITH INCREASING INSTABILITY DUE TO SFC HEATING. WHAT IS REALLY
IMPRESSIVE IS THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT ALONG THAT BOUNDARY
TO OUR W WHERE BACKBUILDING CONVECTION IS OCCURRING. THIS LOOKS TO
REMAIN A FOCUS FOR THE MOST INTENSE RAINFALL RATES AND MAY SHIFT
MORE INTO OUR AREA THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON. DUE TO THIS...HAVE
EXPANDED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH TO COVER W-CENTRAL AREAS. THE
ORIGINAL WATCH AREA WAS LEFT AS IS...BUT LOWER CONFIDENCE EXISTS
THERE FOR FLOODING AS THE BETTER CONVECTIVE RAINFALL RATES LOOK TO
GET FOCUSED IN ANOTHER PART OF THE CWA. THE WATCH PRODUCT HAS BEEN
UPDATED ALONG WITH THE HWO AND GRAPHICS WHICH ILLUSTRATE THE THREAT
AREA BEST AS WE HAVE RE-ORIENTED THE ELEVATED FLOODING RISK.

AS FOR SVR STORM THREAT...INCREASED FLOW WILL BE COMBINING WITH 3500-
4000 J/KG OF SBCAPE TO SUPPORT SVR STORMS. THE MAIN ISSUE RIGHT NOW
IS HOW THE SLOW MOVING MORNING COLD POOL IS OPPOSITE THE LOW LEVEL
SHEAR VECTORS. THIS IS NOT FAVORABLE FOR ENHANCING UPDRAFTS AND
LIKELY WHY STORMS HAVE BEEN TAME SO FAR. HOWEVER...AS THE ORIGINAL
COLD STALLS AND THE DEEPER PUSH COMES MORE E/SE FROM THE HEAVIER
RAINS JUST TO OUR W/NW (THE ACTIVITY CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH EAST
CARROLL AND ISSAQUENA) WE WILL LIKELY GET MORE INTERACTION WITH SB
INSTABILITY AND GENERATE MORE INTENSE STORMS OVER THE I-20 CORRIDOR
AND AREAS TO THE S/SE. CURRENT OUTLOOK/GRAPHICS HANDLE THAT. WE MAY
NEED TO UPGRADE THE E-CENTRAL OR SE AREAS TO AN ELEVATED DEPENDING
ON HOW THE LOW LEVEL SHEAR AND COLD POOL INTERACT.

AS FOR FORECAST MODIFICATIONS...BIG ADJ WERE MADE TO POPS AND TEMPS
WERE LOWERED FOR MUCH OF THE N HALF AS RAIN COOLED CONDITIONS WILL
LIKELY PERSIST.

THE FORECAST CHALLENGE FOR LATER WILL BE ON THE POTENTIAL
REDEVELOPMENT OF ANOTHER NOCTURNAL HEAVY RAIN COMPLEX LATER
TONIGHT...STAY TUNED. /CME/

&&

.AVIATION...MAIN ISSUE WITH THIS TAF CYCLE WILL BE SHOWERS/STORMS
AND THE ASSOCIATED REDUCTIONS IN VSBY AND CIGS. ACTIVITY ALREADY
AFFECTING SITES ALONG HIGHWAY 82 AND EXPECT THIS TO SPREAD TO SITES
ALONG THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. KHBG WILL
BE IMPACTED LATER THIS AFTERNOON. 18Z TAF ISSUANCE WILL FOCUS ON
TIMING OF ACTIVITY GOING INTO TONIGHT. /SW/
