353 PM CST Tue Nov 29 2022

...New DISCUSSION...

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 330 PM CST Tue Nov 29 2022

Rest of today-tonight...

The potential for significant severe weather event remains &
severe weather is ongoing across the region. Sfc analysis earlier
today indicates strong WAA & moisture return have quickly
recovered with temperatures in the low 70s N to mid-upper 70s S
with dewpoints in the upper 60s-low 70s, especially in S MS. This
has led to strong WAA with intense LLJ around 40-45kts at 850mb.
Combined with anomalous warmth & destabilization around 1000-1500
MLCAPE, per SHV & JAN 18Z soundings, will continue to favor
significant severe weather event. Some thermo values haven't been
seen per SPC sounding climatology & SPC mesoanalysis indicates
long clockwise curved hodographs with +300-400 m2/s2 effective SRH
& mean layer bulk shear around 30-45kts in the 0-1km/0-3km &
50-60kts in the 0-6km layer. In addition, very steep lapse rates
approaching 7.0 C/km in the 700-500mb layer will support more
intense hail. This will continue to support all modes of
significant severe weather, including tornadoes, some strong &
long track, damaging winds up to 80mph & large hail of tennis ball
size. Highest threat looks to be along & NW of the Natchez Trace
corridor into Hwy 45 corridor. Some storms have developed earlier
in S LA & are progged to continue to the NE. In SE MS could have
better mid-level capping & 700mb heights around which could
suppress some convection into the Pine Belt. After collaboration
with SPC, the "Moderate" & "Enhanced" risk areas remain mostly the
same, but were slightly expanded to the E to the MS/AL state
line. In addition, the PDS tornado watch for a large portion
along & NW of the Natchez Trace corridor through 7PM & was
extended slightly E to account for storms in the S in Lawrence to
Jeff Davis County. Timing for the most significant severe weather
looks to be through midnight, with some lingering after midnight
through 4A. Increased confidence remains of around 9PM-midnight
in the NW Delta, the I-55 corridor around 1AM-3AM & most potential
moved out by 4AM-6AM into E-SE MS, especially the I-59 corridor.

Some localized flash flooding potential remains today. Kept the
graphic as is, but confidence has increased some areas along & NW
of the Natchez Trace, especially N of the I-20 corridor could see
some additional training of supercells & more vigorous convection.
For now, kept the ongoing Flash Flood Watch in SE MS & no changes
to the HWO, but definitely can't rule out a quick +3 inches for
areas along & N of the I-20 corridor where more intense
storms/multiple rounds occurs.

Strong WAA will help highs warm near-above normal into low-mid
70s today, while above normal into low to low 40s in the Delta to
low-mid 60s in SE MS for the frontal passage tonight.

Wednesday through early next week...

As strong sfc ridging builds in, much drier air & subsidence will
move in the wake. Sfc & mid-level ridging is progged to shift
across central Plains on Wed & mid S to Appalachians by Thurs &
Atlantic Seaboard by Fri. A quiet & cool pattern will persist
through the period as thermo profiles cool into the 4-10 deg. C
range. Highs will be in the low 50s in NW to upper 60s S on Wed,
solid freeze for areas along & N of the I-20 corridor Thurs &
gradual WAA & moderating highs late week on Fri. Moisture
advection will gradually increase into late week on Fri. Shortwave
trough is expected to move into the Intermountain W by late week
& progged to swing E in zonal flow through the Great Lakes & NE by
late weekend. With anomalous ridging over the W Gulf of Mexico &
increased WAA/moisture (i.e. PWs in the inch to inch & a half
range or so) by late weekend, stalled frontal zone will help spark
rain chances Fri through the weekend, building to the N into late
weekend on Sat to Sun. With warm thermo increasing into the mid-
upper teens by the weekend, highs will moderate above climo into
the mid-upper 70s by late weekend into early next week. /DC/
