Severe Thunderstorm Warning 85, NWS Jackson, MS

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/
