...New DISCUSSION...

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 316 AM CDT Thu Sep 12 2024

Today and Tonight: Local radars showed the center of circulation
around Tropical Storm Francine moving close to the south central
Mississippi state line. Francine will continue moving to the north
northeast this morning before shifting more to the north this
afternoon and continue to weaken in the process. Francine will
essentially bisect our CWA today and bring a wind threat, flooding
rain threat and a tornado threat. Wind gusts of 40-55mph will remain
possible the next several hours over our southeast zones but lighter
wind gusts of 30-45mph will remain possible today over the remainder
of our CWA. There exists a low tornado threat over our southeast and
east Mississippi zones this morning. The heaviest rainfall is
expected to fall along and east of the track of Francine. Storm
totals of 4-6 inches remain possible through this morning generally
along and east of Interstate 55 with storm totals of 2-4inches in
the area between I-55 and the Mississippi river. Rainfall intensity
will lower from the south this morning as Francine moves north.
Drier air as seen on early morning satellite imagery wrapping into
Francine is expected to help this process. By this evening
conditions are expected to have improved considerably over our CWA
with the threats from Francine having ended. The considerable cloud
cover and rainfall today will help hold temperatures well below
normal only topping out in the 70s. There will still be plenty of
cloud cover tonight in our north but temperatures will bottom out
cooler than normal in the low to mid 60s. /22/

Friday through next Wednesday...The surface remnants of Francine
will reside over the Mid-South region Friday, and meander about
there into Saturday while steadily dissipating.  Meanwhile aloft,
the closed low associated with Francine will follow suit into the
first half of the weekend, before drifting east into the Tennessee
Valley on Sunday.  As we move into the new work week, a longwave
troughing pattern will set up across nearly the entire Southeast
United States through at least mid-week.

Some lingering light rain will remain possible across mainly north
central and northeast Mississippi through late Friday afternoon.
This activity will eventually come to an end, with clouds gradually
lifting out of the area Friday evening.  Overall, the majority of
the forecast area will remain dry over the weekend into next week.
However, the aforementioned troughing pattern will reside across
much of the Deep South Saturday through Monday.  This, coupled with
daytime heating in the continued moist airmass over the region,
could yield some isolated to scattered convection each afternoon
across mainly eastern portions of the area Saturday through Monday.
Tuesday into Wednesday, rain chances will become more isolated and
confined to far eastern parts of the area as ridging aloft begins
building into the forecast area from the west.

As far as temperatures are concerned, muggy conditions will again
persist across the CWA through out the forecast period.  Highs on
Friday will range from the mid 70s north to middle 80s south. Then
highs each afternoon Saturday through Tuesday will generally reside
in the middle to upper 80s, with some lower 90s expected on
Wednesday. Lows each night will fall into the 60s. /19/
