Area forecast discussion, Mar 17, 4:50 PM CDT, 1 hour 6 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
450 PM CDT THU MAR 17 2016

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...THE RADARS WERE LIT UP
AT MID AFTERNOON WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS ALONG THE HIGHWAY 84
CORRIDOR WHERE A STALLED COLD FRONT WAS NOTED. NUMEROUS REPORTS OF
LARGE HAIL HAVE BEEN RECEIVED AND LARGE HAIL WILL REMAIN THE MAIN
THREAT INTO THIS EVENING ACROSS THE SOUTH WHERE A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT. MUCH OF THE CONVECTION WL
WEAKEN WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING BUT THE SOUTHERN BRANCH OF
THE JET WITH SUBTLE SHORTWAVES MAY HELP TRIGGER ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY.
SOME MODELS SUGGEST THE BOUNDARY WILL DRIFT NORTH TOWARD INTERSTATE
2O TONIGHT WITH CONVECTION REDEVELOPING AFTER MIDNIGHT. HAVE
THEREFORE MAINTAINED DECENT POPS THROUGH THE NIGHT. MODEL CONSENSUS
SUGGESTS ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS FRIDAY ALONG AND
JUST NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY. THIS LOOKS TO OCCUR MAINLY BETWEEN
HIGHWAY 84 AND INTERSTATE 20 SIMILAR TO THIS AFTERNOON. LARGE HAIL
WOULD BE THE MAIN THREAT AGAIN DUE TO MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND DEEP
LAYER SHEAR. THE CONVECTION WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN FRIDAY EVENING BUT
BY MIDNIGHT A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL ENTER OUR NORTHWEST ZONES AND
PROLONG RAIN CHANCES IN THE NORTH. A POTENT NORTHERN STREAM CLOSED
LOW DROPPING OUT OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS FRIDAY AND OVER THE GREAT
LAKES REGION SATURDAY WILL SUPPORT THE COLD FRONT THAT WILL STILL BE
NORTHWEST OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE AT SUNRISE SATURDAY. GUSTY NORTHWEST
WINDS IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT WILL USHER IN MUCH COLDER AND DRIER
AIR THAT WILL BRING AN END TO THE RAIN. /22/

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...SATURDAY WILL BE A TRANSITION
DAY OVER THE CWA. WHILE WE WILL START OFF THE DAY WITH SCATTERED
CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE STALLED BOUNDARY NEAR THE COAST...
VEERING FLOW PATTERN WILL FINALLY GIVE THE COASTAL BOUNDARY A NUDGE
OUT TO SEA TAKING THE CONVECTION WITH IT.

A REINFORCEMENT OF LOW LEVEL DRY/COOL AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE CWA
SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY RESULTING IN MARKEDLY COOLER TEMPERATURES.
HIGHS IN THE 50S WILL BE COMMON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AS MINS DROP INTO
THE 30S. WHILE CAA WILL PRECLUDE FROST DEVELOPMENT SATURDAY
NIGHT/SUNDAY MORNING...HIGH PRESSURE SETTLING OVER THE AREA SUNDAY
NIGHT WILL SETUP CALM WINDS AND EXCELLENT RADIATIONAL COOLING
CONDITIONS. FROST FORMATION WILL BE A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY WHERE
TEMPS CAN FALL INTO THE MID 30S OR LOWER WHICH LOOKS TO OCCUR
PRIMARILY OVER THE EAST.

MID LEVEL RIDGING FROM THE WEST DURING THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK
WILL RESULT IN DRY WEATHER AND MODERATING TEMPERATURES./26/

&&

.AVIATION...AS OF MID AFTERNOON STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WERE MAKING
THEIR WAY ACROSS MAINLY SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI. MVFR TO VFR FLIGHT
CATEGORIES WERE PREVAILING ACROSS THE REGION AT THIS TIME. CIGS WILL
CONTINUE TO LOWER AS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SPREADS ACROSS THE
REGION....ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR EXPECTED.
THIS CONVECTION COULD BRIEFLY REDUCE FLIGHT CATEGORIES TO IFR
STATUS. MVFR CIGS WL THEN BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING
WITH ISOLD TO SCATTERED STORMS CONTINUING ACROSS THE REGION. WINDS
TODAY WILL VARY FROM NORTHEAST TO EAST TODAY BETWEEN 4-9 KNOTS...
AND REMAIN SUCH TONIGHT. /17/
