Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jackson MS
606 AM CST Sat Jan 11 2020

...SEVERE STORMS ONGOING THIS MORNING...

.UPDATE...
Updated for 12Z aviation discussion

&&

.AVIATION...
12Z TAF discussion:
Severe thunderstorms are moving through the region this morning
and will continue to from west to east through 18Z. This will make
for very messy flying conditions during this time. Ceilings will
be MVFR or lower for most of the day. There could be a small
window of time where VFR ceilings are achieved late this afternoon
before more MVFR to IFR ceilings resume overnight. Winds ahead of
the line of storms will be gusty out of the south around 15-25kts
sustained and gusts to near 40kts. With storms, winds could gust
to near 60kts. Winds will gradually diminish this evening, with
speeds dropping to 10kts or less overnight. /28/

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Today and tonight...

Much anticipated severe weather event is beginning to unfold across
the region this morning. A line of severe thunderstorms is moving
through southeast Arkansas, northeast Louisiana and barreling toward
Mississippi. Ahead of this, some warm advection showers continue to
affect eastern portions of the state. Tornado Watches are now in
effect for the western part of the forecast area, with locations
closer to the eastern part of the state likely needing a watch
closer to daybreak.

Thinking remains the same with the system as it passes through the
region. More than enough shear, on the order of 60kts, is present as
well as 500-600 m2/s2 helicity, around 1000-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE,
dewpoints in the upper 60s and lower 70s across the region. All of
these parameters along with strong forcing from the incoming front
and negatively tilted trough will be enough to bring widespread
damaging winds to the region with embedded QLCS tornadoes. It won't
be out of the question for there to be a strong tornado with any
that does develop in this environment. Discrete storms ahead of the
squall line are looking increasingly less likely but if one does
develop, this would also bring potential for a strong tornado.
Timing on this line remains roughly the same with it just now
entering the western edge of my forecast area, tracking into the I-
55 corridor by around 9am  and toward the AL/MS state line by noon.
While this squall line should be fairly progressive, it could
produce a quick 1 to 3 inches of rainfall given the anomalous amount
of moisture present. Will continue with limited risk for flooding.
Some light lingering precipitation could occur behind the line but
overall drying conditions should occur fairly quickly and dry
weather will occur tonight.

Outside of the line of storms, southerly gradient winds have been
strong overnight with 15 to 20 mph sustained speeds and gusts to
near 40 mph at times. A Wind Advisory remains in effect through the
afternoon for this reason and these winds could bring down trees or
power lines, even without thunderstorms. Temperatures today will be
warm early but cool with the passage of the cold front. A cooler
night will be in store for tonight with overnight lows in the mid
30s to lower 40s. /28/

Sunday night through Friday night...High pressure will prevail
across the area on Sunday, but as the surface high shifts east, the
flow will once again swing back around to the southeast. The frontal
boundary will push back north as a warm front Sunday night into
Monday as a short wave moves into the area. Showers/storms will
move into the southeast Sunday night and continue to spread
northward through the day into the evening hours. Showers will
continue to be possible overnight as the boundary stalls across
the delta. Another short wave will move across the area on Tuesday
with another round of storms. The global models indicate steep
mid level lapse rates on Tuesday, ranging from 6.5- 7.5 C/KM. This
combined with dewpoints in the mid 60s and decent shear, may kick
off strong to possibly severe storms on Tuesday. Highs on Tuesday
will climb into the 70s, with lows in the 50s/60s Tuesday night.

The pattern will change very little on Wednesday with a continued
chance for showers, as moist southerly flow continues. The GFS/ECMWF
are in decent agreement of a stronger cold front dropping south
across the area Wednesday night into Thursday, with another round of
showers/storms. The front will usher in drier/cooler air for
Thursday and into Friday, but yet another short wave/cold front will
move into the area Friday night. /15/
