Area forecast discussion, Feb 11, 5:53 PM CST, 47 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Jackson MS 553 PM CST Sun Feb 11 2024 ...New AVIATION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 346 PM CST Sun Feb 11 2024 Tonight through Saturday night: Severe storms are expected across the CWA this afternoon and evening. The most intense storms are expected along and south of a line from Winnsboro, Louisiana to De Kalb in Kemper County Mississippi where damaging wind gusts, large hail and a few strong tornadoes will be possible. Mid afternoon radars showed a line of severe storms tracking east from the Highway 82 Corridor to well north of Interstate 20. This activity is expected to hinder the development of additional severe storm develop in its wake. Farther south though a surface low over the east Texas/southwest Louisiana line is expected to track northeast through Monday. This surface low was being supported by a closed low as noted on mid afternoon satellite imagery/RAP analysis spinning over the Texas panhandle. A warm front associated with the surface low was noted on surface analysis near a line from Natchez to Meridian. This warm front will try to push a little farther north through this evening while the surface low rides along it. Storms developing south of the warm front are expected to become focused along the warm front to maximize potential for severe development. In addition, locally heavy rain will also be possible with the strongest storms and will fall over wet soils from previous rainfall last several days. Some runoff issues should be expected and may briefly lead to flooding of poor drainage and low lying areas. Although the severe threat is expected to end before midnight tonight the surface low will still be over our CWA and note shift east of Mississippi along with its cold front until Monday morning. This will end most of the significant rain however, light rain chances will continue due to the closed low that will take until Monday night to move far enough to the northeast of Mississippi to end any chance of measurable precipitation. Cooler than normal temperatures are expected Monday night through Tuesday night but near normal temperatures are expected again Wednesday afternoon. Dry weather is expected Monday night through Thursday night but rain chances return from the southwest Friday as another low pressure system approaches the region. Friday there will be a surface low in the northwest Gulf that will help increase moisture over our area while a strong cold front approaches from the central Plains. These two features will form a squeeze play over our CWA Saturday resulting in widespread rain followed by a return to dry weather and cooler than normal temperatures Saturday night and Sunday. /22/ && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 547 PM CST Sun Feb 11 2024 Local radars showed numerous TSRA across the area resulting in IFR cigs across the northern half and a mix of MVFR/VFR cigs across the southern half of the CWA. Poor flying conditions are expected to continue through 16Z Mon as a center of low pressure moves across the area MVFR/IFR conditions will prevail with occasional VFR and LIFR conditions. After 16Z Monday cntrl and southern TAF sites wl begin to improve. /22/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
