.AVIATION...
06Z TAF discussion:
Expecting storms to continue from the northwest overnight and
spread southeast. Right now, GLH GWO, GTR may see the bigger
impacts. Added tempo groups for worsening conditions. Some of the
storms may be strong to severe so added gusty winds at those
sites also. The rest of the sites may experience a few hours of
MVFR conditions for reduced visibility and briefly lowered
ceilings. Most of the area should have prevailing VFR conditions
by late afternoon Saturday./17/

&&

.DISCUSSION...
This has been a difficult week of unpredictable weather. Northwest
flow aloft has provided enough flow to force several rounds of
isolated severe storms through the CWA, just as it's about to do
tonight. None of the CAMs really have a handle on the situation.
The storms in Arkansas formed in the high theta e bullseye and are
now ascending and moving through the high CAPE environment. There
is plenty of instability in the atmosphere with 5200 J/kg from
the 00Z JAN sounding and about 35 kts of 0-6km shear. Already
there are reports of large hail coming out of the storms in
Arkansas. These storms will propagate into the CWA over the next
hour or two and move further into central MS. Again the greatest
threats remain as large hail and damaging wind gusts, but can't
rule out a tornado. May need to watch out for heavy rainfall as
well as storms may train to the southeast. /10/

Prior discussion below:

Through tomorrow:

Short segment of showers and thunderstorms coming in from the
northwest this morning managed to strengthen and produce some wind
damage across north-central MS going through the afternoon as it
moved into an environment of 4000 to 5000 j/kg of CAPE and more
than negligible wind shear. Severe thunderstorm watch # 291 was
issued to cover threat of this cell (and potential of other cells
instigated by tstorm outflow) going into SE MS through 7 pm. The
cell prompting the warning has weakened significantly in the past
hour but other cells are still trying to form along the outflow in
a volatile environment and some of the watch will be kept going
for now, at least until main triggering outflow moves to the
southeast or totally washes out.

Important to note that current Severe Thunderstorm Watch #291 does
not cover larger threat from severe storms that looks to develop
this evening into overnight hours. In the continued active
northwest flow pattern aloft there is a complex of storms just now
trying to take shape in southern MO. Similar to last night, a
growing complex should forward-propagate southeast into an air
mass over the Lower MS Valley containing 3000+ j/kg of CAPE well
into the evening hours. Convection last night produced wind damage
across portions of the Arklamiss Delta, but tonight the axis that
storm clusters should ride down is shifted a little east and there
is also potential for storms to hold onto their vigor longer into
the night, owing to more instability and a bit more wind shear to
aid in organization. The highest risk for damaging wind gusts
(possibly up to 70 mph in isolated spots) is across roughly the
Golden Triangle although there is still enough potential for
impact well into the heart of the region to support SPC expanding
their SLIGHT risk of severe weather with this afternoon's update.
There are some signals from HREF data to suggest training
convection could set up into northern zones late tonight into
tomorrow morning as low level flow vectors briefly veer to a
orientation more favorable for back-building. This will be an
aspect of the situation to watch closely as we go into this
evening, but for now we will refrain from hitting hard in the
HWO/graphics because of inherent uncertainties of finer scale
mesoscale evolution in this sort of setup.

We anticipate most of the convection should be ending and/or
shifting to our east very late tonight through midday Saturday
morning. There remains at least slight potential in central and
eastern zones that isolated potent storms could pop up in the
afternoon in the midst of convergent low level flow in the wake of
the main overnight convection. Considering the air mass will
remain very unstable and somewhat sheared on Saturday we will have
to monitor this potential later on Saturday closely. However, for
now, general model consensus suggests enough drying and capping aloft
coming in from the west Saturday afternoon to put a lid on most of
the worrisome convection. Otherwise, temperatures will still be
mainly in a range from the mid to upper 90s with a few readings
topping out at the century mark possible in far western zones.
Despite the continuing hot temperatures we do not anticipate
needing another excessive heat warning for tomorrow in any spots,
mainly because moisture looks to have a bit more ability to mix
out some into tomorrow afternoon. /BB/

Saturday night through middle of next week (Thursday):

Primary concerns looks to be dangerous heat lingering through late
weekend (Sunday), with somewhat brief drier conditions, less muggy &
less rain & storm chances by early week before gradual increase in
rain & storm chances through the extended period into next week.

Overall expect hot & dangerously humid conditions to be the main
concern. As a deep mid-level subtropical ridge slowly retrogrades
westward into the southern Plains & Rockies, a deep trough & cold
front will dig down through the Appalachians will dig down through
into the ArkLaMiss region by Saturday night & into Sunday morning.
This will slowly help thermal profiles cool (i.e. 925mb around 23-28
degrees C), which will help temperatures to only slowly cool down,
ever so slightly in the low-mid 90s while areas south of the front &
west of the Mississippi River should still be able to peak in the
upper 90s & possibly near 100 degrees in our far western Louisiana
parishes. Due to some slightly drier air in the inch to inch & a
quarter range & 850mb Theta E around 320K & isentropic subsidence,
expect drier conditions with lower surface dewpoints falling into
the upper 60s & better mixing. Thus, the heat issues should remain
confined south of I-20 & especially in the Highway 84 corridor to
over in the far southern Louisiana parishes. In these area south of
I-20 we could flirt with heat indices near the 105-110+ degree
range, with areas in the south more likely. Due to that, going to
keep an "Elevated" in the Highway 84 corridor & "Limited" south of I-
20 in the HWO. Will mainly keep this bridged with the previous
graphic & just mention in the HWO for now.

As the trough & cold front dig south, expect the upper trough to
gradually somewhat cut off over the northern Gulf & southeastern
states by early next week. This will lead to continued cooler
thermal profiles & some drier air advecting into the area, at least
by early week. Due to this, expect highs slowly cool down closer to
normals but still above normal in the low-mid 90s. In addition, lows
could fall into the upper 60s in the north-northeast, especially
into the Highway 82 corridor & Golden Triangle by Sunday & Monday
nights. Expect moisture advection to only slowly increase from east-
west through the week as the upper low slowly builds westward.
However, due to north-northeasterly low-level flow, moisture
advection will be slow to increase. Due to this, expect a dry & rain
free day on Monday before scattered rain & storm chances move back
in by early-mid portions of next week. Due to increasing rain
chances, cooler thermal profiles & some scattered cloud cover,
expect highs closer to normal & heat stress issues held in check.
Due to meager lapse rates & flow, not expecting much in the way of
stronger, more organized development. However, as PWs climb to above
2 inches & flow is light at times, some slow storm movement &
locally heavy downpours are possible. /DC/
