Area forecast discussion, Sep 5, 6:16 PM CDT, 2 hours before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Jackson MS
616 PM CDT Sun Sep 5 2021

.UPDATE...
Updated for 00Z aviation discussion

&&

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF discussion: A weak cold front moving across the area from
the northwest will keep isolated to scattered showers and
thunderstorms around through much of the period. With the frontal
passage winds will become light northeasterly with MVFR ceilings
developing and lingering through Monday morning./GG/

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Tonight and tomorrow...

A smattering of showers is developing across portions of the
ArkLaMiss this afternoon. Very little of this is being sustained as
the airmass is trying to moisten but instability remains on the low
side. The KJAN 12Z sounding had a PW of 1.07 inches and dewpoints
were actually mixing into the upper 60s this morning. Dewpoints have
come up some and are in the lower to mid 70s across the western half
of the forecast area. Dewpoints remain in the upper 60s in the east.
Further north, showers and an isolated thunderstorm have regenerated
along the cold front that will push through the region later this
afternoon through tonight. There could be a strong storm with this
but overall parameters look low for severe weather and I am not
overly confident in much thunder even with some of this activity.

Convection will continue to push south and east through the region
overnight with the frontal passage. There looks to be a lull in
activity early tomorrow morning before another round of storms will
affect the southeast part of the forecast area later tomorrow
afternoon. Behind the front, drier air will seep south. Dewpoints
will drop into the lower to mid 60s through Monday night with the
exception being in the southeast, where 70s dew points will stick
around. There could be some locally heavy rainfall with the storms
along the front tonight into tomorrow as PW values look to be around
2.1-2.3 inches with this activity. Cooler weather looks to occur
tomorrow with highs mainly in the 80s. /28/

Monday night through Saturday night...Whats left of the frontal
boundary will be stationary over the southern portions of the area
Monday night, as the upper trough pulls away. The front along with
PWATS of 2.0 plus inches will linger across the area on Tuesday,
with another round of isolated scattered storms Tuesday afternoon.
Most of the thundestorm activity will be generally along and south
of the Natchez Trace Corridor. Drier air will build in behind the
front on Wednesday, but some moisture will continue to hang around
in the southeast, with afternoon showers and storms possible.
High temperatures will mostly be in the mid/upper 80s on Tuesday,
but will range from the mid 80s to mid 90s in the west on
Wednesday. Both the GFS/ECMWF are in agreement of an upper tough
deepening over the eastern CONUS early on Thursday and this will
drag a dry cold front south across the area. High pressure will
build in Thursday into Friday and continue into the weekend. As
upper ridging strengthens Saturday, temperatures will be on the
hot side, climbing into the 90s for much of the area./15/
