Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jackson MS
1027 AM CDT Sat Apr 29 2017

...SEVERE WEATHER AND FLOODING POSSIBLE THIS WEEKEND...

.UPDATE...
Updated for morning discussion.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

At 10AM, temperatures have already eclipsed the 80 degree mark
throughout the ArkLaMiss coupled with strong southerly winds.
Sustained windspeeds of 20 mph with gusts near 30 have already
been observed at several sites around the region. These winds
will continue to increase over the next few hours. Changes were
made to the forecast to increase thunderstorm chances this
afternoon and evening due to convection, associated with a
shortwave, already firing along the Texas-Louisiana border. Well
initialized short term models such as the HRRR, portray this blob
of convective storms racing towards the region today before
entering NE Louisiana this afternoon, eventually crossing the MS
River late this afternoon and evening. An unstable atmosphere
will be in place by this afternoon with SBCAPE readings exceeding
2000 j/kg and 0-6km lapse rates greater than 6.5 C/km. This
unstable atmosphere coupled with deep layer sheer values
approaching 30kts could result in some severe thunderstorms. The
best chances for storms today will be in the western portions of
the area but can't count out a storm reaching as far east as the
Jackson Metro during the early evening. /jpm3/

Prior discussion below:

Today through tonight,

The main concerns for today will be the potential for strong and
gusty winds across the entire forecast area, and perhaps a few
severe storms over western portions of the area this afternoon.
An upper-level closed low spinning over the Four Corners region
this morning will swing into the Southern Plains by tonight. A
surface low will move from central Texas toward the KS/MO border
during this time as well, advancing a north-south oriented cold
front through central Louisiana by late tonight. In response to
the advancing low pressure system, the pressure gradient and low-
level height gradients will tighten across the region. We expect
this to result in strong winds across the ArkLaMiss by mid-morning
and lasting through the afternoon. Sustained southerly winds
around 25 to 30 mph during peak afternoon heating will be
accompanied by gusts of 35 to 40 mph. A few stronger gusts can't
be ruled out especially through the Delta where the gradient
should be strongest. Although upper- level forcing will be fairly
meager during the afternoon and most of the area should remain
capped, a few showers and thunderstorms may develop across mainly
western portions of the area today. A compact shortwave
disturbance was noted on water vapor satellite imagery off the
TX/LA coastline this morning. Various model guidance responds to
this disturbance by generating a cluster of thunderstorms by late
afternoon. High amounts of instability coupled with around 20 to
30 kts of deep layer shear suggest that any storms that do develop
could be strong to severe. The primary hazards would be hail and
damaging wind gusts. Convection could also help to mix down some
of the stronger winds from a few thousand feet off the surface.

Then attention turns toward the approaching cold front and the
thunderstorms which are expected to accompany it into our region
late tonight. Most of the heavy rain and severe weather potential
with these storms will be during the day on Sunday, but the line is
currently expected to move into northeast Louisiana and far
southeast Arkansas just before sunrise tomorrow. See below for more
details on this round of thunderstorms. /NF/

Sunday through next Friday night,

Severe weather/heavy rainfall are still anticipated Sunday into
Sunday evening, and potentially again during the middle of next
week.

For Sunday, NWP guidance continues to portray a consistent
scenario with an intense linear convective system expected to
move into Southeast Arkansas and Northeast Louisiana by daybreak,
and then east of the MS River by mid morning. However, uncertainty
exists regarding convective evolution along and east of the I-55
corridor as we go into the afternoon.

Expect the potential for severe weather (including damaging wind
gusts, hail, and perhaps a few tornadoes) with the first round of
convection in the morning given ML CAPE ~ 1000 j/kg and strong
low level shear, and the potential for flash flooding due to
rainfall rainfall rates > 2 inches per hour in what will be a
maxed out airmass in terms of climatological moisture values
(Precipitable water ~ 2.2 inches, H850 Td ~ 16C). From there, CAM
guidance suggests the initial storms will diminish as the QLCS
moves east of the I-55 corridor and into a less favorable
environment, but continued impressive moisture transport
associated with a 50+ kt low level jet and ~350K low level theta-e
ridge should combine with upstream instability/convergence to
support renewed convection ahead of the surface cold front later
in the afternoon. So expect a new convective system to potentially
form farther west as the initial system dissipates during the
afternoon. This newer system would have a similar environment to
work with, one that is supportive of severe weather and heavy
rainfall, as it moves through Central and into eastern MS.

In the graphics/HWO, we are adding some timing detail and
generally conveying the same impacts as previously depicted, but
we're not quite ready to issue a flash flood watch until some
inconsistencies associated with coordination can be ironed out.
Would also like to see a clearer depiction of the convective
evolution Sunday afternoon - the current signals do not inspire a
lot confidence in where locally heavier rainfall may occur.

After storms move east of the area Sunday night, expect a couple
of days of dry weather. But the flow will back quickly ahead of an
amplifying trough Wednesday resulting the rapid return of very
moist and unstable air. Various ensemble/deterministic global
models offer a range of QPF scenarios, and they all point to the
potential for heavy rainfall and severe weather, especially for
locations along/south of the I-20 corridor. With this event
several days away, will continue to focus on the near term threats
before advertising this system in the HWO/graphics. It looks for
now like the potential will end as we go beyond Thursday. /EC/

.AVIATION...
12Z TAF discussion:
Scattered to broken stratus around 1500 to 2500 feet early this
morning will begin to scatter out and lift by mid-morning. As the
sun rises today, southerly winds will increase to around 20 to 25
kts, with gusts to around 30 kts at all TAF sites. A few gusts up
to around 35 to 40 kts will also be possible during the day
especially at KGLH and KGWO. Winds will stay breezy after 00Z
Sunday with some gusts possible throughout the night. The chance
for thunderstorms will increase late in the period, but do not
have high confidence in impacts to TAF sites before 12Z Sunday.
