National Weather Service Jackson MS
624 PM CST Mon Jan 2 2023
...New AVIATION...
.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 357 PM CST Mon Jan 2 2023
Tonight-Tuesday...
Main focus remains on the severe weather potential across the
region. Spoke of energy is progged to eject ENE into the Mid-W to
Great Lakes tonight-Tues around the periphery of the subtropical
ridge to the SE. Strong sfc cyclone will develop, with a deepening
sfc low expected nearly or sub 1000mb moving out of the Plains into
the Mid-W. With strong upper jet moving across the Plains & into the
Ozarks, increasingly favorable jet dynamics, diffluence/right
entrance region of upper jet will propagate near the region tonight
through Tues. There is increasingly favorable conditions for severe
storms, but decreased confidence in recent CAM guidance for some of
the more organized aftn convection & even significant & organized
QLCS. With more recent runs of the HRRR adding more uncertainty on
organization of any convective line sweeping in, confidence in
strong tornadoes has lowered some. There remains the best potential
for strong LLJ & clockwise curved hodographs with more sweeping wind
profiles into the overnight hours. If a more semi-organized QLCS can
develop to the W this aftn & spread E into the evening & persist,
all modes of severe weather are possible, including tornadoes,
damaging winds up to 70mph & some hail. As the cold front swings to
the E, expect increased ascent & redevelopment of storms in E-SE MS.
This area is where the "Enhanced" Risk was added earlier. After
earlier collaboration with SPC, keeping this as is. However, wind
profiles become to veer into the early aftn hours, limiting
strong tornado potential. Definitely can't rule it out further
E-NE, especially closer to the MS/AL state line, as storms will
initiate in SE MS in the I-59 corridor & spread ENE. After this
initial round of storms Tues move out by mid-aftn Tues, some
increased lapse rates, but more veered wind profiles/deep shear
will support some large hail up to golf ball size. Main
adjustments to the going graphic were to break it up to two, with
one for first round late tonight through early Tues & the second
round into Tues. Timing is tricky, if a QLCS develops early &
persists, it could go later into the night. Confidence is
increasing that not much in the way of aftn convection will
develop & will be focused more after midnight in the NW Delta.
This line of storms should weaken before redevelopment by mid-
morning through late aftn-evening.
Flash flooding is also another caveat, but there is continued
support for heavy rain probs in the Delta & now increased potential
into SE MS for the area of redevelopment. This is all dependent on
actual evolution of organized convection, so if recent trends of
HRRR are correct, could decrease potential in the NW Delta. For now,
there remains potential for heavy rain of 2-4" with locally higher
amounts to 6" in the NW Delta, where the Flash Flood Watch remains
in effect. Can't rule out some needed adjustments in SE MS where
HREF ensemble neighborhood probs > 3" have increased & localized
prob match mean values have bumped up to nearly +2-4". Coordinated
some increase in QPF for SE MS, but if trends continue, another area
of increased messaging of flash flooding potential may be needed or
more focus may turn to this.
Lastly, strong low-level jet & tightening pressure gradient of +5mb
is expected, leading to sustained winds up to 25mph, with brief
gusts up to 35-40mph, mainly NW of a line from SW MS into Jackson
Metro up to Hwy 45 just S of the Golden Triangle. There is potential
for some of those higher gusts to 45mph in the Delta mainly from SE
AR, NE LA & extreme NW MS. This area will have to evaluated for
future updates for a later wind advisory, if confidence in sustained
winds increases. Lows tonight will be much warmer due to clouds &
storms around, mainly in the mid-upper 60s. Highs Tuesday will be
warm into the mid 70s. /DC/
Tuesday Night through Monday... Ongoing convective activity is
anticipated at the start of the period across central and eastern
areas as the slow moving front maintains deep moisture convergence
to support showers/storms. The final push of large scale ascent
will occur during the Tue night period and will make the most of
what deep moisture remains along the front with all activity
exiting the area around midnight. Some of this activity could be
strong to severe but really depends on what instability remains
from earlier activity. PoPs and weather grids will reflect the
latest timing and exit of this activity.
On Wednesday, mid level dry slot will punch into the area putting an
end to any precip potential. Additionally, large scale mid/upper low
will close off and slow its eastward progression. The result will be
not much of a cold frontal push in the lower levels. As a result,
WSW winds will exist and allow for a decent warm up Wed with 67-75
the more likely MaxT range. The cold air advection associated with
the main part of the cold front will arrive later Wednesday night
into Thursday bring in cooler and more seasonal conditions. The
coolest period will be Friday morning when the surface high is over
the region and radiational cooling will be maximized. Much of the
area (esp N half) should reach freezing with other locations getting
close.
By the weekend, look for a steady moderation as a short wave
approaches the region. This will allow for return flow to develop
and bring some precip chances. There remains uncertainty in how this
wave and other features will evolve. The result is lower confidence
in any timing of precip for the area. If the wave is stronger, then
better moisture return will occur and precip is more likely to
develop later Saturday into Sunday. If weaker, then some moistening
will happen, but it would be more likely the next wave will make the
most of the moisture and precip would have better chances sometime
Sunday into Monday. Overall, lower type chances will exist in the
forecast to cover all of this until details can get ironed out. /CME/
.AVIATION...Rain moving in and steadily moistening the column which
is going to gradually lower the ceilings. This will take some time,
but we should see MVFR ceilings begin 20-23z (W to E) then be
prevailing across all sites by 00-04z. We will then trend to see IFR
by tonight and linger those conditions into early Tue. Much of this
will be driven by precip and then linger as some precip moves out.
Steady improving conditions look to take place after 18z Tue, so
anticipate that trend in future forecasts. /CME/
