...SEVERE WEATHER EXPECTED LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY...
.UPDATE...
Updated for 18Z aviation discussion
&&
.AVIATION...
18Z TAF discussion:
VFR flight categories will prevail at all TAF through much of the
daytime period today as high clouds increase from southwest to
northeast across the region. Convection, associated with a strong
storm system approaching from the west, will begin to impede upon
the western half of the area (KGLH & KGWO) as early as between
19-22Z today. Some of that convection could be severe, with severe
storms possible across the remainder of the area through the
overnight hours tonight into Monday morning as the storm system
pushes east through the region. Damaging wind gusts, large hail,
and tornados will be possible with severe storms from late this
afternoon into Monday morning. Winds today will become more south
southeasterly between 10-15 knots, with higher gusts, this
afternoon into tonight. /17/
&&
.DISCUSSION...
Latest satellite imagery showed the storm system developing
strong storms in the Southern Plains. SPC has extended the
moderate risk of severe to around the ms river south of Ashley and
Chicot counties. The enhanced risk of severe weather has been
extended to toward our eastern counties, while the severe risk
remains unchanged in the east. Latest 12z morning soundings showed
strong shear and cape developing across the region from the west.
Pwats were also increase from the west with LCH at 1.8 inches. 2
inch pwats were sitting in the northwest gulf waiting to come over
the region for tonight. Latest CAM guidance shows severe storms
erupting across our western flank for late this afternoon then
spreading across the region for tonight. The primary risks will be
damaging winds, golfball sized hail, and tornadoes. A few strong
tornadoes will be possible across moderate and enhance region.
Looks like we will get alot of mesoscale processes for the
potential of some heavy rainfall tonight with training of storms
as the MCS crosses the region. So will hold on to the current
flash flood watch. Made a light downward adjustment to afternoon
highs per latest guidance. Highs will range from the middle 70s to
the lower 80s./17/
Prior discussion below:
Today and Tonight...Quite an active period of weather is currently
being forecast across the ArkLaMiss from late this afternoon into
Monday morning. A closed and strengthening mid/upper low currently
seen on satellite over South Central Texas, will eject northeast
across the Ozarks towards the Mid-Mississippi River Valley today
into Monday. This will cause a surface low to develop over North
Central Texas this afternoon, deepen, and likewise lift northeast
across the Ozarks towards the Mid-Mississippi River Valley through
Monday. Very deep moisture increasing over the forecast area and
plenty of lift associated with a couple of pieces of energy that'll
begin traverse the region late this afternoon, will result in
increasing chances for storms late today, and continuing overnight
into early Monday morning as the second wave of energy traverses the
forecast area.
Good signals remain in both the global and high-res models that
severe storms will be possible across much of the CWA as early as
late this afternoon. This potential will then continue overnight
into early Monday morning. This severe potential is supported by
sufficient instability and steep mid-level lapse rates over the CWA,
increasing deep wind shear (50-70 knots 0-6KM by late tonight),
quite favorable jet dynamics positioned near/over the region, and
the again aforementioned strong forcing that'll pivot through the
region during this time.
Despite being within 24 hours of this severe event, the overall
evolution of how this will all progress exactly comes with some
uncertainty. However, most high-res modes currently indicate that
this will all unfold in two waves. The first wave will prompt the
development of an MCS near the ArkLaTex this afternoon, which is
currently progged to race east northeast out of the ArkLaTex and
into the Delta region and Northwest Mississippi late this afternoon
and early evening. Some weakening of this complex is expected as it
progresses east northeast across my northern zones, but damaging
wind gusts will be the primary concern through the life of this
complex. Large hail and even a tornado will be possible as well.
As a cold pool boundary is laid out in the vicinity of, or just
north of the Interstate 20 corridor, the second more southern wave
is progged to initiate storms, some supercells, across Central
Louisiana this evening. These could progress, and/or also develop,
into southwest portions of the ArkLaMiss region by late evening.
It'll be across portions of East Central Louisiana and portions of
Southwest Mississippi where the best conglomeration of severe
weather parameters exists across the ArkLaMiss. It's also here that
a "Moderate Risk" for severe storms now exists for late this
afternoon into tonight. Across this "Moderate Risk" area, damaging
wind gusts of 60-75 mph, quarter to golf ball size hail, and
tornadoes will be possible. Some tornadoes could be strong.
As the night progresses, much of this is activity is expected to
congeal into a line of broken storms, although some supercell
development will remain possible (especially south of the I-20
corridor), as it approaches the Interstate 55 corridor after
midnight. Still, damaging wind gusts ranging 60-75 mph, quarter to
golf ball sized hail, and tornadoes will remain possible as it does
so. This will remain the case as this line shifts further east into
East Central and Southeast Louisiana around sunrise Monday morning.
Another hazard during this timeframe will be that of torrential
rainfall leading to localized flooding. All of this lies in the
mesoscale details, as the overall synoptic pattern is quite
progressive. With anomalous 2+ inch precipitable H2O values over
the region, and the before mentioned cold-pool boundary being laid
out west to east along to just north of the Interstate 20 corridor
later today into tonight ahead of the second wave of energy, storms
producing high rainfall rates could train across the same locales.
As a result, some rainfall amounts ranging from 2-4 inches could
fall across some locations in a short amount of time. A Flash Flood
Watch will be issued for a portion of the CWA beginning later this
afternoon as a result. /19/
Monday through Saturday: Ongoing MCS early Monday morning will be
moving into eastern MS with still some severe potential given
ambient shear and instability, but that window will be closing
toward mid morning. Heavy rainfall will also continue through mid
morning, but flooding threat will be limited due to progressive
nature of convection by this time.
The mid level system responsible for the inclement weather will
shear out rapidly to the northeast Monday night into Tuesday morning
with zonal flow in its wake. This will quickly be replaced by
southwest flow as next system deepens on its way out of the
Intermountain West Tuesday afternoon. Though low level flow will
become southerly in advance of this system, relatively light flow
will be slow to increase adequate moisture over the CWA for much of
a precip event. Ingredients look to come together better further
east. Nevertheless, a few warm advection showers will be possible
late Tuesday night and some scattered thunderstorms mainly in the
east Wednesday.
Despite the relative weakness of the mid week system, its attendant
cold front will make an impact on temperatures by late week. A
gradual cool down will result in maximum temps in the 60s and lower
70s Thursday and Friday with chilly overnight lows in the 40s and
50s. Temps will begin to rebound over the weekend./26/
