Area forecast discussion, Apr 6, 4:11 PM CDT, 1 hour 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 411 PM CDT Sat Apr 6 2019 .DISCUSSION... Tonight and Sunday: Mainly isolated intense convection over portions of east central LA at the moment along surface warm front. Presently, expect these storms to continue moving east along the boundary with more isolated convection developing along the boundary as it continues to lift northward over the next few hours. More widespread convection will develop over the ArkLaMiss Delta later into this evening as surface low over the ArkLaTex moves into eastern AR. While shear away from the boundary is not overly impressive, steep mid level lapse rates should compensate sufficiently for robust updrafts and a severe threat continuing through midnight with large hail and damaging winds being the main threats. Loss of heating and diminishing wind fields later tonight will allow for convection to wind down and low clouds to fill back in with the cooling boundary layer. The forecast area looks to stay firmly in the warm sector Sunday with no appreciable approaching features for much of the day. Thus, only expecting isolated convection in locations where the cap is weakest. Cap looks to diminish by late afternoon as the surface low over southeast TX begins to lift out to the northeast. An uptick in convective coverage and intensity should occur from the southwest by late afternoon./26/ Sunday night through Monday night: A couple of small perturbations aloft will periodically enhance storm coverage during the evening before the main upper trough begins to approach late Sunday night into early Monday. Increasing low level flow and deep layer shear will support organized storms and a slight risk for severe weather, so will continue to mention this in the HWO/graphics. Additional storms may develop with heating Monday in direct association with the upper trough. Timing details in the Sunday night through Monday period are of low confidence. Look for showers to end Monday night as the trough moves off to east. Tuesday through Saturday: A shortwave ridge will bring generally dry and warm weather to the ArkLaMiss region during the mid to late week, but will need to monitor convective potential with a trough passage for Thursday into Friday. At this time it looks like the trough will pass before for a significant storm/severe weather threat can develop. High pressure will briefly move in behind the trough as we go into the weekend, but another significant system may be quick to follow. /EC/ && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF discussion: MVFR ceilings early in the period will become VFR by mid afternoon with isolated showers and thunderstorms developing. More widespread showers and thunderstorms will move through the GLH, GWO and GTR areas between 07/00Z and 07/06Z where IFR conditions will exist along with west northwest winds from 15 to 25 knots and gusts from 25 to 35 knots. Elsewhere, isolated showers and thunderstorms will persist through 07/06Z. Vicinities impacted by these storms will see brief lowerings of ceiling and visibility to IFR. After 07/06Z, MVFR to IFR conditions will develop and linger through mid morning before improving./26/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
