.DISCUSSION...mid morning surface analysis had the cold front just
northwest of a Greenwood Mississippi to Winnsboro Louisiana line
with a 1022mb high centered over Oklahoma. This high will edge
east today and help push the weak cold front farther south across
our CWA. Our winds aloft remain west southwest so regional radars
still showed anafrontal storms across southern Arkansas that were
dissipating over portions of our delta region. Elsewhere, local
radar had dissipating showers across our southeast. Hi-res models
suggest very little convection in our area until the afternoon and
mainly along and ahead of the cold front. A few strong to severe
storms will be possible by late afternoon across our south with
damaging wind gusts being the main threat. PWATs are still around
an inch and three quarters so locally heavy rain will also be
possible. /22/

Prior discussion below:

Today through tonight: An anomalous upper low will become
anchored over the Great Lakes region in the near term, and this
will maintain active westerly flow aloft over the ArkLaMiss
region. While the synoptic pattern is fairly straight-forward, the
mesoscale influences will once again have much to say about
convective evolution. The convectively overturned and relatively
stable airmass over most of Central MS in the wake of yesterday's
MCC needs considerable modification before it can support much
deep convection.

Current scattered storms over Northeast LA into Southwest MS will
struggle to move into the more stable air farther east this
morning, but recent HRRR runs are suggesting that by mid/late
afternoon we will see enough airmass recovery to support storms
over southeast portions of the area as mixed layer CAPE
approaches/exceeds 2500 j/kg. For now, the latest analysis
reflect the effects of yesterday's convective event, and have
followed a more conservative POP approach for now. When storms do
develop, relatively weak deep and low level shear will limit the
potential for any organized severe storm threat, but expect
isolated severe storms due to the increasing instability.

For tonight, we could see convective precipitation increase as a
minor shortwave trough begins to act on what should be a more
favorable airmass with precipitable water. /EC/

Monday through Sunday:

The upper-level low pressure system will continue to spin over the
Great Lakes on Monday, and at least some portion of it will remain
over that region through most of the upcoming week. At the surface,
the remains of a cold frontal boundary will persist through Tuesday.
A few waves are expected to develop along this boundary and lift
northeastward through the Gulf Coastal states, bringing the
potential for heavy rain to at least the southern half of our
forecast area. The period to watch for the greatest heavy
rain/flooding potential currently looks to be between Monday
afternoon and Tuesday afternoon - especially for areas south of
Interstate 20. Forecast PWAT values ranging from 1.5 to 2.0 inches
across southeastern Mississippi and the possibility for a round or
two of heavy rain between Monday and Tuesday will warrant inclusion
of an Elevated Threat area there in our Hazardous Weather Outlook. A
Limited Threat for flooding will extend farther north and west to
around the Interstate 20 corridor.

A stronger cold front should push through the region Tuesday night
into Wednesday, this time with more upper level support to push
southward into the Gulf. Rebounding temperatures for the second half
of the week under shortwave ridging aloft and a more progressive
weather pattern. The next chance for rain may come by next weekend
if a cold front can dip this far south. /NF/
