Area forecast discussion, Jun 25, 3:04 PM CDT, 2 hours 14 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 304 PM CDT Thu Jun 25 2020 .DISCUSSION... Late afternoon through Friday: as we go through the remainder of the afternoon and early evening, considerable coverage of showers and storms will continue with strong low level flow help to organize a couple of arcing lines of storms. There is one line moving into northeast Louisiana and west Central MS, and this should continue to affect northern portions of the ArkLaMiss region while a stronger convective line moves into southern portions of the forecast area over the next few hours. Overall, the cloud cover helped to limit low level destabilization today, but there was more significant heating in the Pine Belt region where low level lapse rates are steepest and more supportive stronger downdrafts - so will maintain a marginal risk for damaging wind gusts along/s of the Highway 84 corridor, especially given the unseasonably strong low level flow. Storms should diminish quickly this evening with loss of heating, and a pattern transition will begin to take shape in the next 24 hrs. The strong eastern CONUS trough responsible for the recent active weather pattern is forecast to lift out and leave behind a general weakness in the subtropical ridge over the ArkLaTex region while heights build over the Lower MS Valley region. This should result in greater anticyclonic flow, and less convective precipitation coverage that is mostly focused on western/northern portions of the forecast area Friday afternoon. /EC/ Friday night through Wednesday: Persistent mid level troughiness in a light flow regime will continue through at least the early part of the weekend with another damp day in store Saturday. Despite continued low level southerly flow, dewpoints in the 70s and PWs around 1.75", mid level ridging will ensue Sunday and begin to limit convective coverage over much of the area. The exception will likely be in the south where southerly flow will lead to an active sea breeze that can move well inland. While the ridge will push east Monday, lighter low level southerly flow will result in a less active sea breeze, but best convective coverage will still be over the south. For the remainder of the period, light north to northwesterly flow regime with dewpoints in the 70s and PWs around 1.75" will result in continued scattered diurnal slow-moving convection mainly around peak heating times. As the pattern evolves through the long term period, temperatures will moderate closer to normal for this time of year, being modulated by localized convection and density of dust aloft./GG/ && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF discussion: Considerable coverage of mostly diurnal SHRA/TSRA activity will continue to be the focus in the TAFs this afternoon, but it looks like coverage will be more scattered in nature as we go into Friday and the weekend. Otherwise, given the very moist airmass, there will be a tendency for low stratus to develop, especially during the early morning over southern portions of the forecast area. /EC/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
