AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1136 AM CST TUE FEB 2 2016

.UPDATE...OVERALL THE THINKING REMAINS THE SAME WITH REGARD TO TODAYS
SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL. CURRENTLY...STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE
PUMPING MOISTURE NORTH INTO THE REGION. DEWPOINTS HAVE REACHED THE
UPPER 60S ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA WITH EVEN A FEW LOWER 70S ACROSS
THE FAR SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF MISSISSIPPI. THIS HAS HELPED FUEL WARM
ADVECTION SHOWERS OVER THE REGION WITH EVEN SOME ISOLATED THUNDER.
THE 12Z KJAN SOUNDING INDICATED A SUFFICIENT CAP IN PLACE AROUND
750MB WITH PLENTY OF DRY AIR ABOVE IT. THIS CAP WILL SLOWLY ERODE
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS BREAKS IN CLOUD COVER WILL CONTINUE TO
DESTABILIZE THE REGION. SOME MORE ROBUST STORMS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
PART OF THE CWA HAVE ALREADY REACHED AROUND 10-18 KFT...WHICH
INDICATES THAT SOME AREAS HAVE ALREADY BEEN ABLE TO PENETRATE THIS
CAP.

HI-RES GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO INDICATE THAT THE BETTER STORMS SHOULD
BE ACROSS THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE CWA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS
STORMS ARE ABLE TO TAP INTO INSTABILITY AND THE AMPLE WIND ENERGY IN
PLACE ONCE CONVECTIVE INHIBITION IS OVERCOME. AS HAS BEEN INDICATED
THERE IS AMPLE SHEAR ACROSS THE REGION SO ANY STORM THAT DEVELOPS
WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM ROTATING. GIVEN THIS...AND THE NATURE OF
DISCRETE STORMS...SOME TORNADOES COULD BE STRONG ESPECIALLY ACROSS
THE EASTERN HALF OF THE REGION AS STORMS HAVE AMPLE TIME TO MATURE BY
REACHING THAT LOCATION. ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE EARLIER TO
EXTEND THE SIGNIFICANT THREAT AREA FURTHER SOUTH IN HWO/GRAPHICS.

MODELS INDICATE THAT AS THE FORCING OF THE FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE
REGION...SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD CONGEAL INTO A BROKEN SQUALL
LINE/QLCS BY LATE IN THE EVENING ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN
MISSISSIPPI BEFORE MOVING OUT OF THE REGION CLOSE TO OR AFTER
MIDNIGHT.

OVERALL THE FORECAST IS IN DECENT SHAPE AND ONLY MINOR ADJUSTMENTS
WERE NEEDED. /28/

&&

.AVIATION...A MIX OF MVFR TO IFR CEILINGS OCCURRING THIS MORNING.
SOME LOCATIONS IN THE DELTA ARE STILL SEEING VFR CEILINGS. ALL TAF
SITES SHOULD BE AFFECTED BY TSRA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SOME STORMS
COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES.
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BE GUSTY TODAY WITH GUSTS OVER 30KTS POSSIBLE.
WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM SOUTH AHEAD OF THE FRONT TODAY TO
WEST/NORTHWEST BY WED MORNING. /28/DL/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 508 AM CST TUE FEB 2 2016/

DISCUSSION...

(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)...THE MAIN FOCUS CONTINUES TO BE ON
ACTIVE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT, INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL
FOR SEVERE STORMS, LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL, AS WELL AS STRONG GRADIENT
WIND.

WE ARE OFF TO A WARM AND BREEZY START THIS AM AS A BROAD REGION OF
WARM/MOIST LOW LEVEL ADVECTION REMAINS OVER THE AREA. YET AGAIN A
DECK OF LOW STRATUS HAS DEVELOPED AND SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA, THIS
TIME WITH ISOLATED LIGHT SHOWERS/DRIZZLE NOTED ON RADAR. AS THE CWA
REMAINS IN THIS REGIME THROUGH THE DAY, CLOUDS WILL ONCE AGAIN
PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD, THOUGH OCCASIONAL BREAKS ARE
POSSIBLE. REGARDLESS OF INCREASED SKY COVER, TEMPS WILL AGAIN BE
WELL ABOVE NORMAL, WITH NEAR RECORD READINGS POSSIBLE AT A FEW SITES.

ON TO THE SEVERE THREAT...IN TERMS OF THE BIG PICTURE, OUR THINKING
HAS CHANGED LITTLE, THOUGH THERE ARE A FEW MINOR CHANGES WITH
RESPECT TO LOCATION DETAILS. THE UPPER JET MAX IS NOW OVER THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS AND WILL INTENSIFY TO AROUND 160 KT AS IT MOVES OVER
THE MID MS VALLEY THIS EVENING. A 994 MB SURFACE LOW IS CURRENTLY
LOCATED OVER KANSAS WITH A COLD FRONT TRAILING THROUGH EAST TX. THE
LOW WILL ADVANCE NORTHEASTWARD FOLLOWING THE CORRIDOR OF UPPER
DIVERGENCE CREATED BY THE JET STREAK, DRAGGING THE FRONT TO THE MS
RIVER BY AROUND 00Z THIS EVENING. LOW TO MID 60S DEWPOINTS ALREADY
OVERSPREAD THE AREA AND WITH STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW PERSISTING
THROUGH THE DAY, LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL ONLY INCREASE. EARLY IN THE
DAY, A LACK OF FORCING AND A MID LEVEL TEMP INVERSION WILL INHIBIT
SUBSTANTIAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT, THOUGH SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL
REMAIN POSSIBLE.

THOUGH GREATER FORCING FOR ASCENT WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE CWA
CLOSER TO THE UPPER SPEED MAX/MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE, BY MIDDAY MID
LEVEL HEIGHT FALLS WILL BEGIN TO OCCUR AHEAD OF THE FRONT, CREATING
SOME IMPETUS FOR STORMS TO BEGIN TO DEVELOP. THERE WILL LIKELY BE A
LATE MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON GESTATION PERIOD DURING WHICH UPDRAFTS
WORK TO ERODE INHIBITION BEFORE CONVECTION BECOMES MORE VIGOROUS.
THEN BY MID/LATE AFTERNOON CONDITIONS WILL BE MORE FAVORABLE FOR
SCATTERED SEVERE STORMS TO DEVELOP AS SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY IS
MAXIMIZED. GIVEN THE SUBTLE FORCING, A MIX OF STORM MODES INCLUDING
DISCRETE CELLS/QLCS SEGMENTS REMAINS POSSIBLE. THE ENVIRONMENT WILL
BE STRONGLY SHEARED PARTICULARLY FARTHER EAST DURING THE AFTERNOON,
SO ANY STORMS THAT CAN GET GOING WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME
SEVERE AND ROTATE. WHILE INSTABILITY WILL NOT BE HIGH, IT IS
FORECAST TO BE SUFFICIENT...SUGGESTING THAT SEVERE STORMS WILL NOT
NECESSARILY BE WIDESPREAD, BUT THOSE THAT DO DEVELOP COULD BECOME
RATHER POTENT.

CAM GUIDANCE HAS SUGGESTED MUCH OF THE MORE ROBUST DEVELOPMENT MAY
OCCUR OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE AREA, BUT SYNOPTIC SCALE MODELS
HAVE CONSISTENTLY SHOWN DEVELOPMENT OCCURRING FARTHER WEST BACK TO
AROUND THE MS RIVER. FACTORING IN TIME NEEDED FOR STORMS TO MATURE,
THIS SUGGESTS THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE (INCLUDING SOME SIG
SEVERE) WILL BE ALONG AND EAST OF I-55. THUS, THE SIGNIFICANT THREAT
AREA WILL BE ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY. THERE REMAINS A MORE CONDITIONAL
THREAT FOR SEVERE STORMS OVER THE WEST HALF OF THE AREA, BUT IT
SEEMS LESS LIKELY GOING WEST OF THE MS RIVER.

WITH THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM PULLING AWAY FROM THE REGION INTO THE
EVENING, EASTWARD PROGRESS OF THE FRONT AND CONVECTION WILL SLOW
OVER EAST MS. THIS WILL RESULT IN GREATER RAINFALL AMOUNTS FROM THE
GOLDEN TRIANGLE SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE PINE BELT...TO THE POINT THAT
SOME FLOODING IS POSSIBLE. WPC OUTLINED A DAY 1 SLIGHT EXCESSIVE
RAINFALL RISK FOR THIS AREA, AND WE WILL HIGHLIGHT A LIMITED FLOOD
THREAT.

A FAIRLY STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL EXIST OVER THE REGION TODAY,
SO WIND GUSTS IN THE 30-40 MPH RANGE WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE
DAY. THE LIKELIHOOD OF HIGHER GUSTS OUTSIDE OF STORMS IS A BIT TOO
LOW TO POST A WIND ADVISORY AT THIS POINT, BUT A LIMITED GRADIENT
WIND HAZARD WILL BE ADDED TO THE HWO.

PRECIP LOOKS TO TAPER OFF OVER THE PINE BELT AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER
DAYBREAK TOMORROW AS THE FRONT NUDGES EASTWARD. MODERATE COLD
ADVECTION WILL PERSIST AREAWIDE THROUGH THE DAY AND INTO THE
EVENING. DAYTIME TEMPS WILL BE A BATTLE BETWEEN THIS AND GOOD
INSOLATION AS NEAR FULL SUNSHINE APPEARS LIKELY. BELIEVE MANY AREAS
WILL STILL REACH THE LOWER 60S. OVERNIGHT, SURFACE WINDS WILL BEGIN
TO SLACK OFF, ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE AREA. WITH
THE SKY REMAINING CLEAR, FREEZING TEMPS ARE POSSIBLE IN SOME AREAS.
/DL/

THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

THE GENERAL POSITION OF THE UPPER LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE MS VALLEY
WILL TEND TO ANCHOR A CONTINENTAL POLAR AIRMASS OVER THE ARKLAMISS
FROM LATE THIS WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL FAVOR SEASONABLY COOL
AND DRY CONDITIONS WITH TEMPERATURE DEPARTURES SEVERAL DEG F BELOW
CLIMATIC AVERAGE. HAVE CONTINUED TO FOLLOW A COOLER GUIDANCE
TEMPERATURE BLEND FOR LOWS THURSDAY NIGHT GIVEN IDEAL SFC HIGH
POSITION AND NIGHTTIME COOLING CONDITIONS.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE DROPS QUICKLY AS WE GO FROM SUNDAY INTO MONDAY
DUE TO INCONSISTENT MODEL HANDLING OF A SHORTWAVE TROUGH THAT IS
FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH THE BASE OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH. IT IS
DEFINITELY PRUDENT TO FOLLOW THE BLENDED GUIDANCE WITH THIS SYSTEM
DUE TO WIDELY VARIED QPF SIGNALS. IT LOOKED YESTERDAY LIKE A MORE
SUPPRESSED SOLUTION WAS THE WAY TO GO...AND THAT STILL MAY BE THE
CASE...BUT THERE ARE MORE INDICATIONS NOW THAT WE COULD SEE THE
MOISTURE-STARVED SYSTEM INTERACT WITH A STRONG BAROCLINIC ZONE
RESULTING IN QUICK DEVELOPMENT OF COASTAL RAINFALL THAT COULD MOVE
INTO PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS. AT THIS TIME...IT LOOKS LIKE PHASING
WITH THE NORTHERN STREAM WITH THIS POTENTIAL SYSTEM SHOULD NOT HAPPEN
IN TIME TO BRING US ANY WINTRY PRECIP. LOOKING AHEAD...A MORE
SIGNIFICANT COLD AIR INTRUSION IS POSSIBLE FOR THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK. /EC/
