Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Jackson MS
1202 AM CST Tue Nov 6 2018

.UPDATE...
Updated for forecast update & 06Z aviation discussion

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Did a quick update to the forecast as we removed the tornado watch
out of the area. However, previous thinking is still intact that
we could continue to have some potential for severe weather,
including tornadoes & damaging wind gusts. Some of these storms
are right on the northern significant tornado parameter of 2-4 &
effective helicity ~300-400 m2/s2 per mesoscale analysis. As we
previously mentioned, we advise to not let your guard down
overnight, even though the tornado watch has been expired. /DC/

Prior discussion below:

After storms got off to an impressive start over NW Louisiana with
multiple confirmed tornadoes early this evening, they have since
struggled to remain established as they have moved into the
ArkLaMiss Delta region. Thus far, the imbalance between the very
impressive wind shear (effective bulk shear 70-80 kt/effective SRH
500-600 m2/s2) and the more modest instability (MLCAPE 1000-1500
J/kg) has resulted in the faltering updrafts being effectively
sheared off. This should continue to limit the threat for better
established discrete supercells through the evening as there is
little evidence shear will decrease significantly or instability
will increase significantly. Otherwise, a broken line of
convection has organized closer to the front. We certainly do not
want people to let their guard down just yet. As this activity
translates eastward, the threat for transient rotation and bowing
segments with damaging wind potential will remain given the
impressive ambient shear. However, with the decreasing potential
for deeper updrafts, the threat for severe hail has all but gone
away. We still anticipate a marked decrease in the severe weather
threat overnight as the convection outruns the weakening subtle
forcing. We're in the process of making some adjustments to our
HWO/graphical products to reflect the latest thinking, and will
have these updates out shortly. /DL/

Relevant portions of the prior discussion below:

Through Tuesday: With decreasing upper level support through the
evening, the storms will evolve into more of a line or broken line
as they approach the Natchez Trace corridor pushing
southeastward. A somewhat lower damaging wind and tornado threat
will remain, with a lessening hail threat as updrafts become less
robust. With the front expected to stall, the line will slow down
and weaken overnight, with the severe threat dissipating after
midnight. What's left of the line likely will not even reach the
US 98 corridor by daybreak Tuesday.

With the front slowing across the area, lightening winds, and a
moist environment remaining in place across SE Mississippi, areas of
fog are anticipated across the Pine Belt tonight through Tuesday
morning. Some of this fog could be locally dense, and thus this
threat has been added to the HWO. Confidence is not high enough to
issue a preemptive advisory, but we will need to monitor for the
potential need for one through the evening hours. The fog threat
will end from north to south tomorrow morning as the front slips
through the area. The good news is clearing is expected tomorrow,
with dry conditions for the vast majority of the area through the
rest of the day. Enjoy it while you can, because the rest of the
work week is looking quite wet... /DL/

Tomorrow tonight through Monday...high pressure moves into the
region Tuesday, forcing the boundary southeast, but not really
clearing the region. It will stall south of the cwa before
gradually lifting north, bringing rain back and likely a little
warmer air. The next disturbance and boundary moves in Wednesday
and lingers with some weak disturbances traveling along the
boundary. There could be a period of decent lapse rates, but
nothing great Wednesday night into early Thursday. The next system
moves in Friday with the boundary looking better as it moves
across the I-59 corridor. The upper jet also looks good with
100kts or more moving across the cwa. May be worth watching.
Guidance continues to show temperatures falling about 20 degrees
by the weekend, so cooler air is finally on the way. Overall no
real changes to the previous forecast. /7/

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF discussion:
Areas of MVFR and IFR stratus remain scattered across the area
this evening. SHRA/TSRA are moving across NE LA & central-N MS
through the overnight hours. Some of these storms could be severe
with tornadoes, large hail, and 50 kt wind gusts. The storms will
continue to spread east-southeastward overnight and gradually
weaken as they get closer to GTR/JAN/HKS/MEI, though strong wind
gusts and a tornado are still possible. Ceilings will fall to
MVFR/IFR at most sites overnight through early Tuesday morning,
and IFR visibilities are possible around HBG/PIB. Conditions
should improve through early-mid morning as the cold front has
already moved through the NW Delta at GLH & is moving through GWO.
Expect a gradual wind shift to the west-northwest in the wake, with
VFR conditions prevailing areawide by late morning and continuing
through the remainder of the TAF period. /DL/DC/
