Area forecast discussion, Oct 12, 6:44 PM CDT, 1 hour 10 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Jackson MS 644 PM CDT Wed Oct 12 2022 ...New AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 314 PM CDT Wed Oct 12 2022 Tonight and Thursday...The threat for severe storms will exist across the forecast area late this afternoon into tonight. Adequate instability and sufficient wind shear across the region will result in some of the most intense storms being capable of producing damaging wind gusts between 60-70 mph and hail to the size of quarters, but a tornado can't be ruled out within any breaks in the line of storms. This potential currently looks most favorable over areas north of the Interstate 20 corridor, where the above ingredients look best, along with the addition of the best forcing in the vicinity of the front. South of the Interstate 20 corridor, isolated severe storms will remain possible overnight as the front progresses further south and convection weakens. Damaging wind gusts and hail to the size of quarters are possible, but a tornado cannot be ruled out. In the wake of the front, some light rain will linger for an hour of two as winds become northwesterly. Once the rain comes to an end, conditions will steadily improve through mid-morning as cooler drier air advects into the region. By Thursday afternoon, mostly sunny skies are expected areawide as highs top out from the mid 70s to lower 80s. /19/ Late week through early next week (Friday-next Tuesday)...Late week-weekend (Friday-Sunday): By Fri morn, sfc high will be building across the S MS Valley & gradually building to the E. Mean trough will remain parked over the N Great Lakes. Under this sfc ridge, much drier air, with PWs falling to half to three quarters of an inch, will persist. This will lead to cool & near climo temps, with highs in the upper 70s-mid 80s Fri. Light winds & dry conditions aloft will support decent rad cooling Fri morn. Lows will fall below climo in the mid-upper 40s NE of I-20 to low 50s to the S. Some even more pronounced cooling is possible in cold drainage areas in NE MS, so wouldn't rule out some areas briefly falling into the upper 30s-low 40s. Will continue to monitor this potential. Omega block pattern is progged to persist into early weekend as strong ridging persists over the Pacific NW & over N Atlantic. This will lead to mean troughing over the E half of the nation, while upper low slowly ejects E into Baja Peninsula/Desert SW into the weekend. As broad ascent increases & upper jet diffluence moves over, the column will begin to saturate, with PWs climbing back in excess of an inch & a half. This will help rain chances to increase from NW-SE through the day Sun. Highs prior this weekend will be above climo as 925 temp profiles warm into the upper teens-low 20s C. This will support high temps above climo into the mid-upper 80s Sat before increased rain/storm & clouds with slightly cooler conditions Sun into the low 80s. Early next week (Next Monday-Tuesday): Stronger upper jet/PV will amplify S-SE into the Great Lakes & potentially OH Valley, but there is some spatial uncertainties on amplitude of the longwave trough. This will drive a front down towards the area into next Mon, with strong sfc ridging & subsidence/drier air building in. Rain chances will quickly move S of I-20 into Mon aftn before moving out before daybreak Tues. This pattern will support much cooler thermo with temps below climo, with highs only into the low-mid 70s Mon & only mid-upper 60s next Tues. Lows could fall into the low-mid 40s Mon night. The first frost looks possible into mid week, only if winds decouple & strong pressure gradient can lighten up enough maximize the most efficient rad cooling. /DC/ && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 639 PM CDT Wed Oct 12 2022 Isolated TSRA in the east will gradually dissipate over east MS during the next hour but a line of TSRA along and just ahead of a cold front will move in vcty of GLH by 06Z and move se through the whole area tonight. The TSRA will bring IFR/LIFR conditions for an hour or two along with a wind shift to the nw. Away from TSRA activity VFR conditions wl continue to prevail through the TAF period. /22/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
