Area Forecast Discussion

.UPDATE...
Aviation Update Below

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 555 AM CDT Sat Oct 10 2020/

DISCUSSION... /issued 513 AM CDT Sat Oct 10 2020/

Surface observations showed Tropical Storm Delta centered near
Vicksburg, MS at 5 AM, with 40 to 50 mph winds extending as far
out as 50 miles from the low pressure center.

Delta is forecast to weaken to a tropical depression by midday,
followed by a track to northeast MS by the early overnight tonight.

Delta's flooding rain and strong wind potential will remain
greatest over the Mississippi River delta this morning. Those
threats will decrease further north and east, reflective of
expected further weakening of Delta's remnant low. However,
convective bands in advance of this remnant low will present a
risk of stronger winds just of off the surface mixing to the
ground over north central MS, perhaps as far north as the Memphis
area. The wind advisory has been extended east to include Tupelo,
given the possibility of transient strong wind gusts near the
convective bands.

The tornado potential remains over north central and northeast
MS, but has been trimmed back temporally to extend into early
afternoon. Beyond this period, the low level instability axis and
forced convective banding will have shifted into AL.

Delta's will lift to middle TN and transition to post-tropical
status by midday Sunday. The Midsouth can then look forward to a
return to seasonal autumn weather. Shortwave ridging and strengthening
low level return flow will bring warm temps on Monday, preceding
a Pacific cold frontal passage Monday afternoon. This front will
only bring a modest cooldown, but will lower humidity levels
noticeably Monday evening and the days following. A few post
frontal sprinkles cannot be ruled out over west TN Monday evening.

West-northwest flow aloft will prevail during the mid to late week
periods. GFS, ECMWF, and Canadian models showed good consensus in
depicting midlevel height falls over the plains and MS River
valley late next week. An associated strong cold front through
the Midsouth Thursday afternoon, bringing cooler temps for Friday
and next weekend.
