..SOUNDING DISCUSSION...

TWO LOW LEVEL TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS IN THE LOWEST 2200 FEET
SHOULD MIX OUT BY LATE THIS MORNING. AN ELEVATED INVERSION AROUND
8000 FEET MAY TAKE A BIT LONGER TO MIX OUT ALLOWING FOR A CAP OVER
THE AREA AS HAS BEEN INDICATED BY PAST FORECAST SOUNDINGS. THIS
INVERSION WILL ERODE AS MID-LEVEL COOLING TAKES PLACE. WHILE
MUCAPE IS RATHER WEAK AT 200 J/KG AND 0-1KM AND 0-3KM SHEAR ARE
ALSO LOW...THESE WILL MODIFY AS THE SURFACE LOW DYNAMICS APPROACH
AND PERHAPS A BIT OF DIABATIC HEATING OCCURS. THE FREEZING LEVEL
IS CURRENTLY AT 11500 FEET AND THE WET BULB ZERO IS AT 8400 FEET
AND BOTH OF THESE ARE EXPECTED TO LOWER INCREASING THE POTENTIAL
FOR HAIL. WINDS AT THE SURFACE ARE FROM THE SOUTHEAST AT 5 KNOTS
AND THEN ROTATE CLOCKWISE AND BLOW FROM THE SOUTHWEST IN THE MID-
LEVELS AND THEN WEST-NORTHWEST IN THE UPPER LEVELS. AN INCREASE IN
SPEED SHEAR WILL OCCUR AS THE LOW APPROACHES INCREASING HELICITY
VALUES. AN 18Z SPECIAL RELEASE IS PLANNED TO FURTHER ASSESS THE
SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL.

12Z BALLOON INFO: A ROUTINE FLIGHT THAT LASTED 98 MINUTES AND
TRAVELED 62 MILES DOWNRANGE FROM THE OFFICE. THE BALLOON BURST
OVER RAMSEY SPRINGS AT A HEIGHT OF 20.9 MILES ABOVE THE GROUND.

SHORT TERM...
SPC HAS OUTLOOKED THE MAJORITY OF THE AREA WITH A MODERATE RISK
OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR TODAY. MODERATE RISKS ARE NOT COMMON
TO BEGIN WITH BUT ARE ESPECIALLY RARE ALONG THE GULF COAST. SYSTEM
ALREADY GETTING STARTED AND DEEPENING OVER SOUTH TEXAS. THE SFC
LOW IS DISORGANIZED AT THE MOMENT BUT THIS WILL CHANGE OVER THE
NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. SEVERE TS ARE MOVING OUT AHEAD OF THE LOW OVER
SOUTH TX. THIS TREND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY OVER OUR AREA
AS WELL. SHOULD EXPECT TO SEE TS CELLS AHEAD OF THE MAIN FRONTAL
AXIS BY LATE MORNING AND ALONG THE FRONTAL AXIS AS THE LOW EJECTS
NE. THE SFC LOW CONTINUES TO DEEPEN AS IT APPROACHES MEMPHIS BY
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. THE GFS HAS PRESSURES DOWN TO 989MB WHILE THE
EURO SPORTS A 982MB LOW. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THE REASON FOR THE WIND
ADVISORIES TODAY AND TONIGHT. THESE PRESSURES ARE ROUGHLY
EQUIVALENT TO A STRONG TROPICAL STORM OR WEAK CAT 1 HURRICANE. BUT
THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO TYPES OF
SYSTEMS. TROPICAL SYSTEMS (TROPOSPHERIC WARM CORE)FOCUS MORE
ENERGY NEAR THE SFC AND CENTER OF THE STORM WHILE BAROCLINIC
(STRATOSPHERIC WARM CORE...TROPOSPHERIC COLD CORE) SYSTEMS TEND
TO FOCUS THEIR ENERGY NEAR THE UPPER LOW ABOUT 8 MILES UP. AT THE
SFC OF A COLD CORE SYSTEM LIKE THIS...THE ENERGY IS SPREAD OUT
OVER A LARGE AREA TO PRODUCE THE COLD FRONT...WARM FRONT...AND
SFC LOW. ENOUGH WITH THE MET LESSON.

NO DIFFERENCE IN THINKING THIS MORNING. ALL DYNAMIC VARIABLES ARE
STILL VERY IMPRESSIVE. SRH VALUES FROM 0-3KM AND 0-6KM ARE HIGHER
THAN I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. THIS WILL HELP ANY TS CELLS
ROTATE AS THEY DEVELOP. IT WILL ALSO MAKE IT EASIER TO PRODUCE
TORNADIC WEATHER. ONE OR TWO OF THESE COULD BE RATHER STRONG.
BOW ECHOES ON RADAR WILL BE VERY INDICATIVE OF DAMAGING STRAIGHT
LINE WINDS. LARGE HAIL WILL ALSO BE ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THESE
STORMS AS WBZ HEIGHTS WILL BE AROUND 10K FT WITH THE FREEZING
LEVEL ONLY ABOUT 100 FT HIGHER. THIS IS NOT VERY NORMAL IN A NON-
WINTER WX STRONGLY CONVECTIVE SYSTEM HERE ON THE GULF COAST. THE
ONLY THING THAT DOES NOT STAND OUT IS THE MASS FIELDS. ALTHOUGH
MID 60 DP TEMPS SHOULD BE ENOUGH WITH THE COOLING ALOFT TO ALLOW
THE LATENT HEATING PROCESS TO BE QUITE EFFICIENT AS THIS MOISTURE
IS LIFTED. ALL ACTIVITY TODAY WILL BE SFC BASED AS THE LCL AND LFC
ARE VERY CLOSE TO THE SFC.

THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE ACTIVITY SHOULD START TO MOVE INTO THE
WESTERN MOST PORTION OF THE AREA AHEAD OF THE FRONT BY 11AM. THE
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THIS SAME AREA AROUND 4PM. THIS MEANS
THAT EACH INDIVIDUAL POINT OF REFERENCE OVER THE AREA CAN EXPECT
ABOUT 5 TO 6 HOURS OF DEALING WITH INCLEMENT WEATHER TODAY. SEVERE
WX WILL THEN BEGIN TO MOVE THROUGH PASCAGOULA AROUND 7PM AND THE
COLD FRONT SHOULD EXIT THE AREA AROUND MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. ALL IN
ALL...THE ENTIRE SCENARIO OF SINGLE CELL TS AHEAD OF THE FRONT AS
WELL AS THE FRONT ITSELF WILL TRAVERSE THE ENTIRE AREA STARTING AT
11AM TODAY AND ENDING AROUND MIDNIGHT.

WE SHOULD SEE A CLEARING LINE BEHIND THE FRONT BUT THE THERMAL
TROUGH ON THE BACK SIDE WILL BRING CLOUD COVER AND RAIN BACK OVER
THE AREA FAIRLY RAPIDLY WED MORNING BEFORE SUNRISE. NO SEVERE
TS WILL OCCUR ONCE THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH BUT WINDS WILL BE
QUITE STRONG AND WILL CAUSE DRIVING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT
ESPECIALLY IN OPEN AREAS.

LONG TERM...
THE NEXT SYSTEM LOOKS TO AFFECT THE AREA BY THE START OF NEXT
WEEK.

MARINE...CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE THROUGH THE DAY AS THE SFC
LOW RAPIDLY DEEPENS AND MOVES THROUGH THE LOWER MS VALLEY. STRONG
ONSHORE WINDS WILL DEVELOP LATER THIS MORNING WITH MOST OF THE
COASTAL WATERS QUICKLY SEEING SCY CONDITIONS BY 15Z. AS THE SFC LOW
CONTINUES TO DEEPEN THIS EVNG THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL FURTHER
TIGHTEN WITH GALE FORCE WINDS OCCURING BUT THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL
OCCUR AFTER THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH OVERNIGHT AND WINDS SHIFT
TO OUT OF THE W AND WNW APPROACHING 30-35KT SUSTAINED WITH GUSTS
GREATER THAN 45 KTS. SEAS IN THE OUTER WATERS WILL LIKELY BE GREATER
THAN 13-14 FT.

WINDS WILL RELAX SOME THROUGH THE DAY WED WHICH SHOULD ALLOW
THE GALE WARNING TO DROP BACK DOWN SCY CRITERIA BUT WINDS WILL REMAIN
QUITE STRONG OVER THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH WED NIGHT AND INTO THU
WHEN FLAGS MAY FINALLY BE LOWERED. /CAB/

AVIATION...HIGHLY TRANSITIONAL PERIOD THROUGH THIS TAF PACKAGE.
MARINE LAYER ADVECTION INTO STATIONARY FRONTAL ZONE DRAPED OVER THE
AREA WHICH WILL BE DRIFTING NORTH AS WARM FRONT BY DAYBREAK. VERY
STRONG COLD FRONT TAKING SHAPE OVER CENTRAL TEXAS AND PLACED TIMING
OF MORE ORGANIZED SQUALL LINE CONVECTION AROUND 24/00Z FOR KBTR THEN
CLEARING MS COAST/KGPT BEFORE 24/06Z. EXPECTING LINE MOVEMENT OF
CLOSE TO 50 KT WITH INDIVIDUAL CELLS MOVING SIMILARLY FAST. TRIED
TO RESTRICT HEAVIEST WEATHER TO A 3-4 HOUR WINDOW BUT GRADIENT WINDS
WILL BE STRONG AFTER 18Z. IFR AND MVFR CIGS WILL BE PREVALENT FOR
MUCH OF THE VALID PERIOD WITH MAYBE SOME CLEARING FROM WEST TO EAST
NEAR THE END DEPENDING ON INTEGRITY OF DRY SLOT.
STRATOSPHERIC INTRUSION POST-FRONTAL WILL ALSO PRODUCE SEVERE
TO EXTREME TURBULENCE IN WAKE OF LOW TUESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY
MORNING HOURS WEDNESDAY.
