Area forecast discussion, Jul 15, 4:09 PM CDT, 21 hours 41 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 409 PM CDT FRI JUL 15 2016 .SHORT TERM...tonight through Saturday night... It has rained most of the day over our southeast most zones but at mid afternoon very little activity was noted on local radars in our CWA. There will remain a chance of rain areawide this afternoon and evening but the greatest chance for rain will be over our western zones. A weak shortwave noted on water vapor imagery/RAP analysis over the ArkLaTex will track east and help set off a few storms. A strong wind gust will be possible but nothing comparable to last evening is expected. Much of this activity will dissipate with the loss of daytime heating but weak upper level troughing will remain over our area through Saturday and a late night storm or two will be hard to rule out. Our moist airmass with a PWAT near 2 inches will remain over the area Saturday. Daytime heating will combine with our moist airmass and weak troughing aloft to lead to the development of isolated to scattered storms again. Afternoon highs will be close to normal in the lower 90s leading to decent surface based CAPE but overall wet microburst parameters look less favorable than today. Ridging aloft will begin to build back over the region from the west Saturday night. Sunday morning lows will be a degree or two warmer than normal again. /22/ .LONG TERM...Sunday through Friday... Hot temps and limited convection will be the rule during this period. A building mid/upper level ridge with its axis oriented west- to-east across the southern CONUS will be in place at the beginning of the period. As the ridge builds, convection will be increasingly suppressed as warmer/drier air becomes dominant aloft. Only the eastern/southeastern periphery will have any convective potential, but coverage will be isolated to widely scattered at best. Model consensus is that max temps will rise a couple of degrees daily as the ridge builds. Mid 90s at the beginning of the week will rise into the upper 90s by weeks end. With dewpoints holding firm in the low to mid 70s, high heat indices will likely become a problem during the week./26/ && .AVIATION... A mix of VFR/MVFR ceilings continue to be observed at sites across the region this afternoon. This will likely be the case throughout much of remainder of the forecast period thanks to low clouds across much of the area along and convection that's sporadically developing this afternoon, primarily south of the Interstate 20 corridor. Winds will subside this evening, becoming light to calm. /19/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
