AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1029 AM CST THU JAN 21 2016

.UPDATE...RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE WIDESPREAD THIS MORNING OVER NW
AND WC PORTIONS WITH SOME INTENSE THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING ALONG ITS
SOUTHERN FLANK. HRRR SEEMS TO BE HANDLING THE CURRENT SITUATION AND
ITS SCENARIO FOR THIS AFTERNOON LOOKS REASONABLE AS WELL.

CLOUDINESS IS CURRENTLY BREAKING UP IN THE WARM SECTOR OVER SOUTH
MS. EXPECT THIS TO CONTINUE AS TEMPS WARM THROUGH THE 60S INTO THE
LOWER 70S THERE. THIS WILL ALLOW CAPES TO JUMP UP TO 1500-2000 J/KG
WITH VERTICAL TOTALS NEAR 30. HRRR IS INDICATING SOME SUPERCELL
STRUCTURES IN FORECAST REFLECTIVITY WITH HIGH UPDRAFT HELICITIES
INDICATING POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL AND A FEW TORNADOES./26/

&&

.AVIATION...WARM FRONT EXTENDED ALONG A AEX-JAN-HBG LINE AT 16Z. AS
TEMPS WARM INTO THE 60S ALONG AND SOUTH OF THIS LINE...EXPECT
CIGS/VSBYS TO BECOME HIGH MVFR IF NOT VFR. TO THE NORTH...CONDITIONS
WILL REMAIN MOSTLY IFR IN STRATUS...FOG AND RAIN. AFTER
00Z...CONDITIONS EVERYWHERE WILL FALL BACK TO IFR AS A COLD FRONT
MOVES THROUGH THE AREA./26/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 450 AM CST THU JAN 21 2016/

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...A VERY COMPLEX WEATHER
SITUATION LOOKS TO UNFOLD OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 48 HOURS ACROSS THE
ARKLAMISS REGION. CURRENTLY A RATHER MOIST AIRMASS IS FILTERING BACK
INTO THE REGION AS INDICATED BY THE PRESENCE OF FOG ACROSS THE AREA.
SOME LOCATIONS ARE SEEING PATCHY DENSE FOG THIS MORNING WHICH SHOULD
STICK AROUND FOR AT LEAST A LITTLE BIT AFTER DAYBREAK. THE FRONT THAT
MOVED INTO THE REGION YESTERDAY HAS STALLED GENERALLY ALONG THE
HIGHWAY 84 CORRIDOR AND THIS WILL ALSO HELP WITH FOG DEVELOPMENT
THROUGH THIS MORNING. CURRENT ANALYSIS INDICATES A SFC LOW THAT HAS
DEVELOPED ACROSS NORTHERN TEXAS AND AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH/LOW OVER
CENTRAL KANSAS. IT IS THESE TWO FEATURES THAT WILL PLAY PIVOTAL ROLES
IN THE EVOLUTION OF OUR WEATHER THROUGH THE NEXT TWO DAYS. SHOWERS
HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PART OF MY CWA IN ASSOCIATION WITH
THIS STALLED FRONT/WARM FRONT AND DISCRETE STORMS ARE MOVING EAST
ACROSS CENTRAL LOUISIANA.

OVERALL THE THINKING OF THE ATMOSPHERIC SET UP HAS NOT CHANGED FOR
TODAY. THROUGH THE MORNING...THE FRONT WILL MOVE BACK NORTH AS A
WARM FRONT. AS THIS DOES...WARM MOIST AIR WILL SURGE BACK NORTH
ACROSS AT LEAST THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE ARKLAMISS REGION. AS THIS
OCCURS THE SFC LOW OVER TEXAS WILL TRACK EAST AND DEEPEN. AHEAD OF
THIS FEATURE AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT...TEMPERATURES IN THE WARM
SECTOR WILL RISE INTO THE 60S AND POSSIBLY EVEN 70S ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN PART OF THE CWA. THIS WILL HELP DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE.
MODELS INDICATE THAT WHILE DEWPOINTS WILL ONLY REACH THE MID 50S TO
LOWER 60S ACROSS THE WARM SECTOR...THERE SHOULD BE AROUND 700-1200
J/KG OF MUCAPE PRESENT. THIS...ALONG WITH AROUND 28C VERTICAL TOTALS
AND 60KTS OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR...SHOULD HELP GENERATE STRONG TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE REGION. THESE STORMS MAY BE ISOLATED
TO SCATTERED AT FIRST BEFORE CONGEALING INTO A SQUALL LINE ACROSS
WEST CENTRAL MS AND TRACKING EAST THROUGH THE REST OF THE CWA DURING
THE EVENING HOURS. THE PRIMARY RISK WITH THESE STORMS WILL BE FROM
DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL AND GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF WIND SHEAR THERE
WILL ALSO BE RISK OF TORNADOES. OVERALL THE CONFIDENCE AND AREA
OUTLOOKED PREVIOUSLY SEEMS GENERALLY ON TRACK STILL. THE OVERALL
TRACK OF THE SFC LOW WILL DICTATE HOW MUCH OF THE REGION OR WHICH
PARTS OF THE REGION WILL SEE THE SEVERE WEATHER. THE MAIN AREA IN
QUESTION AS TO HOW MUCH SEVERE WEATHER COULD BE SEEN IS THE
NORTHWEST. CURRENTLY MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT THE SFC LOW
WILL TRACK GENERALLY FROM NATCHEZ TO THE JACKSON METRO AREA TO
COLUMBUS. POINTS ALONG AND SOUTH OF THIS TRACK WILL BE PRIMED FOR
POTENTIAL TO SEE SEVERE WEATHER...WHEREAS NORTH OF THIS WILL LIKELY
REMAIN TOO STABLE TO SEE MUCH IF ANY...THOUGH SOME ELEVATED STORMS
THAT COULD PRODUCE HAIL COULD BE POSSIBLE. THAT BEING SAID...WILL
CONTINUE TO WITH CURRENT HWO/GRAPHICS AS IS. IN ADDITION TO THE
SEVERE THREAT...THERE WILL BE A RISK FOR HEAVY RAIN GIVEN MULTIPLE
ROUNDS OF STORMS FROM THIS MORNING ALONG THE WARM FRONT TO THE MORE
VIGOROUS CONVECTION LATER THIS AFTERNOON. EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE NOT
SEEN RAIN IN A WHILE...VEGETATION THIS TIME OF YEAR DOESNT ABSORB
THE RAINFALL AS EFFICIENTLY. WILL ALSO KEEP THE FLOODING OUTLOOK AS
IS. HI-RES GUIDANCE ALSO AGREES THAT THE BEST TIMING SHOULD BE
AROUND NOON TO 9-10PM.

AS THE SFC LOW MOVES NORTHEAST TOWARD THE TENNESSEE VALLEY...THE
UPPER LOW WILL BE LAGGING SHORTLY BEHIND. AS THIS MOVES ACROSS THE
REGION...WRAPAROUND MOISTURE WILL MIX WITH THE INCOMING COLD AIR TO
GENERATE A WINTER WEATHER POTENTIAL FOR AT LEAST THE NORTHERN PART
OF THE CWA IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OF FRIDAY. /28/

CONCERNING WINTER WEATHER POTENTIAL...SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL REMAINS A
POSSIBILITY OVER NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS FROM LATE
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MUCH OF FRIDAY. FARTHER SOUTH...FLURRIES OR
EVEN A FEW PERIODS OF LIGHT SNOW POSSIBLE DOWN TO THE I-20
CORRIDOR...WITH SOME DRIZZLE OR FREEZING DRIZZLE A CONCERN AS WELL.

MODEL CONSENSUS SEEMS TO HAVE SETTLED ON A TRACK OF THE MID/UPPER
LOW ACROSS NRN LA AND NW/NRN PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS...WITH THE
ECMWF/GEM FARTHEST SOUTH. THE GFS SOLUTION OFFERS MORE OF A MIDDLE
ROAD AND WILL FOLLOW CLOSER TO ITS DETAILS WHICH MATCH UP WELL WITH
THE PREVIOUS FORECAST. ASIDE FROM THE LOW POSITIONING AND CORRELATED
PRECIP AMOUNTS...THERE ARE UNCERTAINTIES INVOLVING PRECIPITATION
TYPE AS WARMER MID LEVEL AIR COULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR SLEET TO MIX IN
WITH SNOW...AND OF COURSE THE TIMING OF RAIN TO FROZEN PRECIP IS
ALWAYS A BIG QUESTION IN THIS SET-UP. IT SEEMS A CONSENSUS POINTS TO
THE 09-12Z TIME FRAME FOR A CHANGE-OVER TO FROZEN PRECIP IN THE
DELTA REGION...WITH THE TRANSITION ZONE MOVING EAST ACROSS CENTRAL
MS LATER IN THE MORNING. THE INHERITED FORECAST MAY HAVE BEEN A
LITTLE TOO FAST IN THIS REGARD...BUT WILL KEEP IT ROUGHLY THE SAME
TO MAINTAIN CONSISTENCY WITH THE WATCH PRODUCT. IN THE END...SNOW
AMOUNTS COULD STILL BE JUST AS...IF NOT MORE SIGNIFICANT THAN
PREVIOUSLY ANTICIPATED...BUT A LITTLE MORE DELAYED.

THE MAIN CHANGES IN THIS FORECAST WERE TO EXPAND THE WATCH TO
INCLUDE SE ARKANSAS AND WASHINGTON COUNTY BASED ON IDEA OF QUICKER
STRENGTHENING AND STRONGER LIFT WITH THE MID LEVEL LOW PREVIOUSLY
DISCUSSED...WHICH WOULD SUGGEST A SNOW SWATH WITH A LITTLE MORE OF A
SW-NE ORIENTATION FOR THE HEAVIER AMOUNTS OVER NRN PORTIONS OF THE
DELTA REGION. HAVE COORDINATED WITH WPC TO BUMP UP AMOUNTS SOME IN
THE WATCH AREA...BUT CONFIDENCE IS STILL NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO WARRANT
AN UPGRADE. FOR LOCATIONS SOUTH OF THE WATCH AREA AND DOWN TO THE I-
20 CORRIDOR...ICE CRYSTAL GROWTH NECESSARY FOR SNOW WILL BE MORE
FLEETING GIVEN MORE SHALLOW MOISTURE AND LIFT...BUT STRONG COLD
ADVECTION WILL CERTAINLY SQUEEZE OUT SOME DRIZZLE WHICH COULD BECOME
PROBLEMATIC BY FRIDAY EVENING WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS EXPECTED TO
DROP BELOW FREEZING...AND THE NEAR SURFACE LAYER COULD BECOME COLD
ENOUGH FOR SNOW GRAIN PRODUCTION. IN ANY CASE...PRECIPITATION
AMOUNTS SHOULD BE LIGHT AND SNOW AMOUNTS STILL LOOK INCONSEQUENTIAL
FARTHER SOUTH. /EC/

WHILE WARM CONDITIONS WILL BE PREVALENT TODAY...STRONG COLD AIR
ADVECTION WILL MOVE IN BEHIND THE FRONT AND FRIDAY WILL BE A RATHER
RAW AND MISERABLE DAY ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION. LOCATIONS ACROSS
THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR WILL STRUGGLE TO GET OUT OF THE 30S DURING
THE DAY...ESPECIALLY WITH SNOWFALL OCCURRING AND MAY LINGER NEAR
FREEZING FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. IN ADDITION...NORTH/NORTHWESTERLY WINDS
WILL BE RATHER BLUSTERY WHICH MAY RESULT IN BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW
AT TIMES. GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT SPEEDS OF 30MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE
WITH HIGHER GUSTS AND THIS COULD WARRANT A WIND ADVISORY FOR
PORTIONS OF THE DELTA ON FRIDAY. THE WIND AND COLD COMBINED WILL
CREATE WIND CHILLS IN THE 20S ACROSS MOT OF THE AREA DURING THE DAY
ON FRIDAY AND THE UPPER TEENS IN THE DELTA. /28/

LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY...AFTER A VERY ACTIVE
SHORT TERM PERIOD (THURSDAY AND FRIDAY)...OTHER THAN A SMALL "BUMP
IN THE ROAD" MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...THE LONG TERM PORTION OF THE
FORECAST CURRENTLY APPEARS RATHER SUBDUED.

AS THE SURFACE LOW CONTINUES TO LIFT NORTHEAST UP THE EAST COAST AND
THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER TROUGH EXITS THE REGION...CLOUDS
AND ANY POSSIBLE LINGERING FLURRIES SHOULD EXIT THE CENTRAL AND
EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA SATURDAY MORNING. DESPITE THE
CLEARING SKIES...A RATHER BRISK DAY IS EXPECTED AS HIGHS SATURDAY
AFTERNOON RANGE FROM THE MID 30S TO MID 40S. THESE COLD TEMPERATURES
WILL BE BACKED BY NORTHERLY WINDS BETWEEN 10-15 MPH...GUSTING UP TO
AROUND 20 MPH AT TIMES...PRIMARILY THROUGH MID-AFTERNOON.  THIS
COMBINATION OF COLD TEMPERATURES AND WINDS WILL RESULT IN AFTERNOON
WIND CHILLS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 20S TO UPPER 30S.  CLEAR SKIES
AND LIGHT TO CALM WINDS ARE EXPECTED SATURDAY NIGHT AS A SURFACE
HIGH SHIFTS OVER THE REGION. THIS WILL CAUSE OVERNIGHT LOWS TO
PLUMMET INTO THE LOW TO MIDDLE 20S AREAWIDE.

A BRIEF WARMING TREND WILL BEGIN ON SUNDAY AND CONTINUE INTO MONDAY
AS THE SURFACE HIGH SHIFTS EAST OF THE CWA...AND FLOW ACROSS THE
REGION BECOMES SOUTHERLY.  STILL...AN OVERALL SEASONABLE DAY WILL BE
ON TAP AS HIGHS RANGE FROM THE MID 40S TO MID 50S UNDER SUNNY SKIES.
CLOUDS WILL INCREASE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING AS LOWS RANGE
FROM THE MID 30S TO MID 40S.  HIGHS MONDAY UNDER MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES
WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 50S TO MIDDLE 60S...AND FALL INTO THE
UPPER 30S TO UPPER 40S MONDAY NIGHT.

THE BEFORE MENTIONED INCREASE IN CLOUDS SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY
MORNING IS RESPONSE TO AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SWINGING ACROSS THE
NATION'S MID-SECTION MONDAY INTO TUESDAY.  THIS WILL SEND ANOTHER
COLD FRONT INTO AND THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA MONDAY EVENING INTO
TUESDAY.  THIS WILL ALSO BRING AN INCREASE IN RAIN CHANCES FROM
MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON.  RAIN LOOKS TO COME TO
AN END TUESDAY EVENING...WITH GRADUAL CLEARING AND COOL CONDITIONS
EXPECTED TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY.  HIGHS BOTH TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY WILL BE FROM THE MID 40S TO MID 50S.  LOWS TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY NIGHTS WILL FALL INTO THE 30S. /19/
