Area forecast discussion, Aug 4, 2:53 PM CDT, 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 253 PM CDT Sun Aug 4 2019 .DISCUSSION... Tonight and Monday: Convection has been more abundant this afternoon owing to greater deep layer moisture and a lingering weak surface trough. Moderate to strong instability has allowed a few convective cores to become robust; however, weak shear has limited the ability of stronger convection to sustain itself. As this activity is primarily diurnal in nature, coverage should decrease quickly after sunset. Patchy fog will be possible late tonight through daybreak Monday, particularly given the greater coverage of rain today and anticipated calm/light wind overnight. While it could be locally dense in a few spots, confidence in coverage is too low to warrant mention in the HWO at this point. The weak surface trough will shift slightly southward on Monday, with relatively drier air advect into the northern portion of the region. This should shift the balance of highest rain chances toward the Pine Belt, with coverage more isolated around the Delta tomorrow. Forecast weak shear and lapse rates suggest any severe threat will be limited. Lesser clouds/precip should result in slightly higher, but still seasonable, max temps. /DL/ Monday night through Saturday: Mid level flow pattern will undergo a slow change through the upcoming week as quasi stationary trough over the eastern US begins to pull away further east with high over the Intermountain West ridging eastward. For sensible weather this will translate into lessening rain chances and increasing daytime temperatures. While weak shortwaves will continue in the weakening northwesterly flow to aid in diurnal convective activity, the increased ridging will begin to skirt these waves further around the forecast area, mostly affecting far northeastern areas. To the southwest, less convection and warmer temperatures aloft will allow surface temperatures to climb as well. With nothing to scour away the low to mid 70s dewpoints, the higher temperatures will result in heat indices reaching around 105 over areas west of the river Tuesday and Wednesday and areawide Thursday through Saturday, especially over the ArkLaMiss Delta region./GG/ && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF discussion: VFR conditions prevail across most of the area, but scattered SHRA/TSRA are developing at midday. This activity will continue through the afternoon hours, bringing potential for brief categorical reductions in ceiling/visibility, before tapering off during the early evening. VFR conditions will prevail through most of the night, then some patchy fog development is possible around daybreak Monday morning, with reductions to MVFR visibility possible. Conditions will then improve to VFR again shortly after daybreak. /DL/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
