Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jackson MS
716 PM CDT Sat Apr 13 2019
...THE THREAT FOR SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER WILL CONTINUE TO
THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT...
.UPDATE...
Updated for 00Z aviation discussion
&&
.AVIATION...
00Z TAF discussion:
Zone of numerous TSRA/+TSRA ahead of an approaching cold front will
gradually shift east across the forecast area overnight followed
by a cold advection pattern that should envelop the entire are by
daybreak. MVFR/IFR ceilings will be common along with variable
gusty surface winds making for poor to hazardous aviation weather
conditions. /EC/
&&
.DISCUSSION...
Through tonight: A powerful shortwave trough and associated cold
front moving from the southern plains into the lower MS Valley are
supporting a significant severe weather event over the ArkLaMiss
region. Prefrontal convection has been robust as it begins to
cross the Mississippi River and move into extreme western MS. The
warm sector environment in this area is characterized by an
extreme combination of instability and wind shear (ML CAPE up to
2500 J/KG and effective SRH > 400 m2/s2) that is supportive of
supercells and strong tornadoes. Expect the prefrontal convection
to gradually shift to the I-55 corridor by early evening, with
additional severe convection developing ahead of the cold front
that is approaching from the west. A broken linear convective
system will likely move across eastern MS late tonight with
straight-line wind damage becoming more of a concern vs strong
tornadoes. In addition heavy rainfall should become less of a
concern as the system becomes more progressive. One thing that is
of higher confidence is that the cold front should push east of
MS before daybreak. Primary points to be made here are that
threats remain about the same and updates going forward will be to
show a diminishing severe weather threat as the cold front pushes
across the area. /EC/
Sunday through Friday: As the upper trough lifts to the northeast
on Sunday morning, showers in cyclonic flow/cold advection will
affect the northern half of the CWA as the surface low lifts
away. A surface high quickly builds into the region on Monday and
upper ridging will set the stage for quiet weather for the first
half of the week. Temperatures will be near normal for this time
of year during this period - highs in the 70s/lower 80s and lows
near 50. Now, Monday morning will be a bit chilly with the surface
high developing over the area and temps will fall into the lower
40s, perhaps into the 30s in some sheltered locations.
The next weather-maker will come as another strong upper trough that
will move over the Central Plains on Wednesday. Being 5 days out,
the global models still differ a bit in solutions. The EMCWF still
has an open trough while the GFS has a deeper, closed low, both over
the same vicinity though. As the trough tracks eastward Wednesday
into Thursday, a frontal boundary will push through the ArkLaMiss.
Diffluent flow aloft will be conducive for intense vertical motion
and storm development over our region. In the warm sector of this
system, PWs will peak above 1.5 inches. At this time, the
instability and shear values appear to be conducive for another
potential round of severe storms. Will hold off of mentioning it in
the HWO at this time since there's so much going on in the short
term and we are still 5 days out with this system. Also, at this
time, it appears that the system will be progressive enough that
heavy rains and flash flooding shouldn't be much of an issue, but
depending on how the models continue to develop this system, that
will need to be re-evaluated. The model consensus has the system
exiting the area by Thursday night. The trough will push east and a
surface high builds into the region again. This appears to allow the
weather over the Easter weekend to be quiet and near normal.
Hopefully this solution continues. /10/
