Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jackson MS
1143 AM CST Wed Feb 5 2020

...SEVERE WEATHER LIKELY AND FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE TODAY...

.UPDATE...
Updated for 18Z aviation discussion

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF discussion:
A mix of flight conditions will exist throughout today as a
frontal boundary and severe weather affects the region. The front
has already passed through GLH and GWO so that winds are from the
north- northwest now. As the front passes through this afternoon,
southerly winds at the rest of the TAF sites will rotate to a
northerly direction as well. Expect ceilings to drop universally
throughout the afternoon to IFR as scattered to numerous storms
ramp up and move across the region from southwest to northeast.
The severe storms will wane by 06Z with showers lingering through
much of Thursday. This will keep ceilings and visibilities low
through at least 18Z tomorrow. /10/

&&

.DISCUSSION...

An active weather day is on tap today & will bring severe weather
& flash flooding potential across the region. Severe weather,
including tornadoes & some possibly strong, is likely & some flash
flooding is possible.

Wednesday: This morning the mid-level ridge axis is centered over
the Caribbean Islands, leading to a an influx of sufficient low-
level southerly return flow of warmth & moisture. Surface analysis
this morning indicates a surface low & baroclinic zone across the
ArklaMiss Delta, ArkLaTex to mid-South & will only deepen through
the afternoon, while cooler conditions exist in the wake of the
boundary in the northwest Delta. The synoptic pattern consists of
a longwave amplification with the spoke of energy & jet streak
energy through southern Plains & northern Mexico. This will
continue to swing out along the base of the trough & eject
northeast across the ArkLaMiss region. In conjunction with low-
level deepening & surface cyclogenesis, strong reflection in the
low-level wind field response will occur. Morning sounding
analysis shows near the high end or climatological maximum in low-
level observed destabilization (i.e. LCH surface based CAPE ~2500
J/kg & JAN surface/mix-layer CAPE around 800-1000 J/kg). This
juxtaposition of steep mid-level lapse rates & strong mid-deep
layer shear (i.e. 6.5 deg C/km lapse rates @ 700-500mb & 40-70kts+
effective bulk shear @ 0-3km & 0-6km, respectively) continue to
support higher end severe weather potential.

This low-level feed of high Theta E is leading convection
development across areas in south-central to western Louisiana is
serving as the impetus for convective development. This will
continue to spread to the east-northeast across the region, with
hi-res CAM guidance indicative of storms along the northern
gradient of the significant tornado parameter gradient (STP).
Local HRRR guidance is definitely showing the potential for some
1500-2000+ J/kg surface based CAPE along & southeast of that
frontal & baroclinic zone & storms potentially riding along &
southeast of that boundary. SPC mesoanalysis & forecast indicate
nearly 2-3 STP along the Natchez Trace Corridor & especially from
near Winnsboro up towards Columbus & to the south. This area also
has pressure falls of 3-6mb as the surface low deepens. Hi-res
CAM guidance continues to paint area in this vicinity with the
highest potential for tornadoes, including some possibly strong.
Exact storm mode may be somewhat of a question, per some other
local CAM guidance, but there will be some potential for higher-end
severe weather. This environment is anomalously destabilized &
sheared. In conjunction with SPC, introduced an "Enhanced" severe
risk area from near Vicksburg to the Jackson Metro & to the
northeast to including near Grenada to the Golden Triangle. For
now, all modes of severe weather are possible. Due to the strong
clockwise curving hodographs, tornadoes are likely & some possibly
strong. Damaging winds up to 70mph & large hail of up to golf
ball size are also possible. These will be reflected in the
HWO/graphics.

In addition, the flash flooding potential remains across the area
as there will be high moisture in conjunction with a deepening
synoptic jet, upper diffluence along the low & also any convective
potential. In conjunction with anomalous deep layer moisture &
very wet antecedent conditions, especially from any heavy rain
this morning, will keep potential around. Due to that, rainfall
of 1-3 inches, with locally higher amounts, is possible across the
region. Local hi-res CAM guidance & HREF suite continues to
support this. No flash flood watch is needed for now as this
mesoscale driven & some details are not as clear. Kept the
HWO/graphics the same as before.

Lastly, due to a strong developing pressure gradient some gusts
upward of 25-30mph can't be ruled out. Expect these winds to really
ramp up into the afternoon as the surface low rapidly deepens &
moves through the Delta. For now, winds don't seem to ramp up
enough for a wind advisory or mention in the HWO/graphics. /DC/

Prior discussion below:

Today and tonight: Severe storms including locally heavy rain will
be possible across our CWA generally this afternoon and evening.
Early morning surface analysis had a stalled front across our Delta
region nearly along a line from Grenada, Mississippi to Bastrop,
Louisiana. This stalled front will move little today and the
greatest potential for severe weather will be along and south of
this boundary. Early morning satellite imagery/RAP analysis showed
the circulation around a deep upper level trough that extended
southwest from the Central Plains to the Baja region. This upper
trough will shift east through tonight and help develop a surface
low over Louisiana this morning that will track to the northeast
along the stalled boundary. The surface low will shift northeast of
our CWA this evening and drag the trailing cold front across our
southeast most zones well before sunrise. The warm sector ahead of
the surface low will feature PWATs greater than an inch and a half
with mid 60 dew points. MLCAPE values are expected to be 500-
1000j/kg while deep layer shear increases this afternoon into the
evening to support storm organization. There will be the potential
for severe storms capable of damaging winds a few tornadoes. Mid
level lapse rates look to limit large hail development but hail to
the size of quarters will also be possible. In addition, locally
heavy rainfall will accompany the storms and may result in some
flash flooding where the storms can train over the same area. Hi-res
models suggest the heaviest rainfall amounts will fall over our
northeast this afternoon and southeast this evening. Temperatures
will continue much warmer than normal today but the cooler air in
the wake of the cold front will knock temperatures down closer to
normal by morning, especially over the northwest half of the CWA.
/22/

Thursday through next Tuesday: Chances for rain will continue
Thursday into Thursday evening behind the cold front as cold
advection continues. Highs Thursday will range from the mid 40s
west to the mid 50s east. Expect a brief period of dry weather and
seasonable temperatures Friday and Friday night, with showers
returning Saturday as another system quickly moves into the
region. Another short period of dry weather will return Sunday as
high pressure influences the region. Unsettled weather returns to
the region Monday and Tuesday, along with continued warming as
another frontal system approaches the region. Highs by Tuesday
look to range from the lower 60s northwest to the lower 70s
southeast. /27/
