Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Jackson MS
626 PM CDT Sat Mar 30 2019

.UPDATE...
Updated for 00Z aviation discussion

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF discussion: A cold front will continue to sweep southeast
across the area this evening. As it does so, scattered showers and
thunderstorms will be encountered along the frontal boundary which
may briefly lower ceilings and visibilities to IFR. Ahead of the
front VFR ceilings with isolated showers will prevail, but will
quickly drop to MVFR with the frontal passage. South southwesterly
winds ahead of the boundary will quickly switch to the northwest
as the front passes with sustained winds of 10 to 20 knots and
gusts up to 35 knots./26/

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Through Sunday: The cold front now extends from near Memphis to
Ruston LA and continues steady southeastward progress this
afternoon. As expected, scattered showers ahead of the front have
been limited in intensity due to a capping inversion and modest
upper level forcing. Along the front itself, there is currently just
a narrow band of showers. More robust development is anticipated
along or just ahead of the front over the next few hours given the
strong associated low level forcing. While deep layer shear and mid
level lapse rates remain sufficient for a few severe storms,
instability remains more marginal. Mixing ahead of the front has
resulted in a decrease in low level moisture in some areas as well.
Nevertheless, potential still exists for damaging wind gusts and/or
marginally severe hail as the front moves through this evening. Any
storms should lose intensity after sunset with waning instability.

This front will be quite sharp, resulting in a rather strong
pressure gradient and gusty winds. Across the Delta, we could see
some gusts through this evening that would result in minor issues,
so we'll continue to highlight the gradient wind threat in the HWO.
Otherwise, temperatures will turn noticeably cooler overnight, with
scattered lingering showers mainly across southeast MS. Those
showers should depart the CWA by around sunrise, but clouds will
linger through much of the day, especially over the southern half of
the area. These clouds, along with cold advection, will help hold
daytime highs Sunday well below normal in the 50s. /DL/

Sunday Night through Saturday:

As the pressure gradient relaxes overnight Sunday night, clearing
skies should allow for some better radiational cooling to occur and
for some frost to develop Monday morning. Have expanded the area in
the Hazardous Weather Outlook to be generally all the counties and
parishes along and north of Interstate 20.

A quick moving shortwave trough in the southern jet stream should
swing east over the Gulf Coast on Monday, and there could be some
light rain which develops with it late Monday into Monday night.
Given the lack of meaningful moisture return and the its eastward
speed, it looks doubtful at this time that there will be adequate
top-down moistening of the atmosphere to produce much measurable
rainfall. Have kept POPs on the lower end and focused more toward
the Gulf Coast for this period. Guidance has trended in this
direction with recent cycles, so felt confident in keeping POPs low.
Dry and gradually warming conditions expected through mid-week, with
chances for showers and thunderstorms increasing Wednesday night
into Thursday as a more substantial low pressure system moves out of
the Plains. As its associated cold front pushes southward, better
rain chances will shift towards the Gulf Coast Thursday night into
Friday. /NF/
