Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jackson MS
233 PM CDT Wed Sep 1 2021

.DISCUSSION...
Through Thursday: It's a hot and humid day as moisture pools
ahead of a cold front which is moving southward toward the area.
Heat indices have been meeting advisory criteria consistently
since midday at many locations mainly west of I-55. Meanwhile, a
convective cluster clipped the Golden Triangle earlier this
afternoon, resulting in tree damage in Lowndes County. Additional
scattered convective development is expected later this afternoon
into this evening, both ahead of the front across south AR and
north MS and along a seabreeze boundary pushing northward from
south MS and south LA. Given the strong instability that has
materialized across the area and modestly strong 0-3 km flow, a
few more strong storms cannot be ruled out with damaging wind
gusts being the main concern. Weak mid level lapse rates and
marginal deep layer shear should preclude a more noteworthy severe
threat.

With the presence of the front, convection may fester later into
the evening, though it should lose intensity as instability
greatly diminishes. By tomorrow morning, the front will extend
roughly from southeast AR through the Meridian area and continue
slowly southward through the day. Isolated to scattered convection
will remain possible Thursday in the area south of the front from
central LA across the US 98 corridor in south MS. It will remain
warm in that area as well, with enough moisture lingering for heat
indices to possibly tease 100F-105F in the MissLou area.
Confidence in this is not high enough to add mention to the HWO,
but once again we'll reassess later tonight with an eye toward
remaining power outages in areas most heavily impacted by Ida.
/DL/

Thursday night through Tuesday...
Cooler and drier air filters into the region behind the front,
resulting in more comfortable conditions across the region.
Overnight lows Thursday night/Friday morning will be the coolest
temperatures in the forecast with lows dropping to the low to mid
60s. Temperatures will only climb into the 80s in most locations
on Friday with the Delta most likely in the lower 90s. Surface
ridge axis slips through the region Friday night and winds come
around to more southerly. At first though, the southerly winds are
generally light and the dewpoints take a bit to respond. As a
result, Saturday is warm but still noticeably less humid.
Southerly flow picks up a bit through the weekend, and temps begin
to rebound in earnest by Sunday as the warmer mid level temps in
the southwest begin to advect into the region...and the dewpoints
climb back to the 70s as well. With the moisture return and the
heat back into the 90s, the pops return to the forecast as well to
wrap up the weekend...lingering into the start of the work week.

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF discussion:
VFR conditions prevail across the area this afternoon. Scattered
SHRA/TS will develop and move across the region ahead of a cold
front late this afternoon through this evening, with brief
categorical reductions possible in localized +RA. Early Thu
morning to around daybreak, brief patchy fog development is
possible again, mainly across south MS and central LA. Otherwise,
VFR conditions will continue. /DL/
