CMEWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jan 2, 10:59 AM CST, 1 hour 5 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 2, 10:59 AM CST, 1 hour 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Jackson MS
1059 AM CST Mon Jan 2 2017
...SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY RAIN EXPECTED TODAY...
.UPDATE...
Updated for morning discussion.
&&
.DISCUSSION...An early morning upper level disturbance moved across
our CWA and set off strong convection with heavy rainfall. A band of
2 to 3 inch rainfall amounts occured along and just southeast of the
Natchez Trace. Although this disturbance has pushed east of
Mississippi, additional morning convection continues over east
Mississippi. This rainfall has occured ahead of the main weather
event this afternoon and evening which could total another 1 to 3
inches. As a result, have expanded the limited area in our HWO for
flash flooding northwest to the Natchez Trace and added an elevated
area across our southeast zones where a Flash Flood Watch has also
been issued. Concerning the potential for severe weather this
afternoon and evening, not much change from previous thinking.
Regional radars already show a large bowing line of storms over
southwest Louisiana. This activity will shift east through the day.
Damaging winds gusts to 70 mph looks to be the main threat but
tornadoes and quarter sized will be possible over our whole CWA. /22/
Prior discussion below: Made a quick update to the forecast to
remove the Dense Fog Advisory. The combination of the warm front
lifting north of the region and the storms this morning have just
about reduced the risk of dense fog. Some patchy fog will continue to
be possible through the morning but visibilities should remain above
one quarter of a mile. Latest observation trend also shows that dense
fog has not been panning out as much across the area. Update products
already out. /28/
Prior discussion: Today through Tonight, Latest vapor imagery showed
the intense shortwave trough, which will develop our severe weather
for today, over the Southern Plains. Meanwhile, areas of dense fog
continued over the advisory area. This was ahead of an advancing warm
front from the south with 60s dewpoints in its wake. Some locations
in the southern and eastern part of the advisory area have already
been affected by rain and seen the warm front passage, thus were
removed from the advisory for the rest of the morning. Some fog will
be possible but think that the prevalence of dense fog is a lower
chance. Overall the fog should lift by 8 am. Also area radars were
already showing showers and isolated strong elevated thunderstorms
coming from Southern Louisiana. This activity was developing in
advance of a stronger low level jet.
Otherwise the main focus will be the severe potential for this
afternoon into early this evening. Models have been consistent with
the track of this short wave in recent model runs. This fast
progressive pattern will bring the negatively tilted shortwave
trough to the forecast area by 00z today. The warm front will make
better progressive north across Mississippi for today which will
spread an unstable airmass across the region with middle 60s
dewpoints. However with some morning showers and embedded
thunderstorms pushing into our western and central areas this
morning ahead of the severe convection for this afternoon, this may
hamper airmass recovery some for this afternoon. This concern was
shown by one of the short range models, while the NAM, GFS, and
other short range models showed good recovery for this afternoon.
However with the strong dynamics of this system will assume that
there will be enough recovery for severe thunderstorms to take place.
As the system approaches, the warm front will make greater northward
progress over our forecast area, which will bring in some good
instability from the south. This shortwave will be preceded by a
surface wave on a pacific type front coming from the west. Looking at
some of the dynamics, we will be in the left front quad of the upper
jet as the low level jet increases across the region, midlevel
southwest jet of 70 knots, and midlevel lapse rates 7C. The 0-3 km
bulk shear will be around 30-50 knots in southwest flow, which will
be favorable for severe weather as discrete supercells comes ahead of
the broken QLCS line. Could get some tornadoes with the discrete
supercells. The general timing looks to be for this afternoon into
early this evening for the squall line to push through the region.
Will continue to highlight damaging winds, large hail and possible
tornadoes in an elevated risk in the HWO but push back the current
timing of the severe weather a little. Since the Pine Belt area has
received several inches of rainfall in the last few days will
continue to highlight the limited flash flooding potential there with
an additional 2 to 3 inches of rainfall possible. Our bout of severe
weather should exit the region with the front early this evening. The
rains will end from west to east in the wake of the departing
shortwave overnight as the front exits the region.
As far as temps are concerned, anomalous low level warming will help
to keep highs and lows around 15 to 20 degrees above normal. Readings
will range from the spring like lower to middle 70s. Lows will be
from the lower to upper 50s. As for POPs, will keep the current high
POPs for today across the CWA. The best POPs for tonight will be
across our northeast for early this evening as the rains depart
overnight./17/
Tuesday through the weekend...By Tuesday morning, the upper level
system will be to our east and cold high pressure at the surface will
be dropping south into our region. The cold air will lag just a bit
on Tuesday as highs should still warm nicely into the 70s. However,
cold advection will be in full force once that 1037mb high starts to
have some affect on our region following a weak cold frontal passage
late Tuesday into early Wednesday. However, models do indicate that
this surface high won't completely reach our CWA but should affect
the northern portions and it is in this location where the colder
highs should be on Wednesday. Dry weather will continue through the
week but much colder temperatures will prevail as highs will be in
the 40s across the north to the lower 50s in the south. Overnight
lows will again dip below freezing north of I-20 on Thursday morning
and areawide on Friday morning. In fact, some locations in the north
could see lows Friday morning in the lower to mid 20s.
Heading into the weekend, there remains disagreement among the
operational models as to our next chance for precipitation. The
Canadian and ECMWF appear to be the most in sync with bringing
moisture and precip back to the region from the west later in the
day on Friday. As a disturbance moves to our south, moisture will
remain across our region going into Friday night. This will combine
with cold temperatures already in place to bring the threat for some
wintry precipitation. At this time, it looks like there is some
potential for a rain/snow mix or just some snow, especially for
locations along and north of I-20. The operational GFS is most
different with this system as it develops more of a trough and sfc
low moving across Arkansas, and keeping temperatures on the warm
side. This would lead to strictly a rain scenario. All models do
indicate any precipitation that does develop will exit the region by
Saturday afternoon/night with temperatures continuing to feel like
winter. /28/
&&
.AVIATION...
12Z TAF discussion: Showers and storms continue to track
north/northeast across the ArkLaMiss as a warm front moves north as
well. Some of these storms might be strong this morning with hail
being the primary risk. In addition, patchy fog will also be possible
and some locations along and north of I-20 could see some dense fog,
reducing vis to 1/4sm or less at times. Fog issues should improve
after daybreak. Widespread IFR to LIFR categories are occurring this
morning thanks to either reduced vis/ceilings from the fog or the
storms. Additional storms are expected this afternoon from the west.
Some of these storms will be severe as well. These will reduce flight
categories to MFR to LIFR this afternoon. Rain will exit from west to
east by this evening, but some patchy fog will again be possible.
Overall, not good flying weather expected today. /28/
