.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 456 PM CDT Mon Mar 25 2024
Through tonight:
All continues to be on track concerning the near term severe
weather event as a linear convective system evolves over northeast
Louisiana and southeast Arkansas ahead of an approaching
shortwave trough. The warm sector environment in this area is
characterized by extreme wind shear with effective SRH of 500-700
m2/s2, modest instability with ~500 to 1000 j/kg of MLCAPE, and
an influx of mid/upper 60s sfc dewpoints. Expect the strongest
convergence zone and this associated environment to shift east
through tonight across central/eastern MS, and timing in our
graphic has been updated to reflect a slightly slower trend in the
CAM guidance. An enhanced risk for mesovortices producing damaging
wind gusts/tornadoes continues to be the primary concern in the
messaging, and the extreme shear will promote the potential for a
few strong tornadoes as well. In addition, we are also maintaining
the wind advisory through the evening along with a hazard graphic
for localized flash flooding. /EC/
Tuesday through Sunday: Following the early week system, a dry and
cool airmass will persist through mid week. The airmass will
modify as a ridge builds over the central CONUS late this week
into the weekend, but we should maintain rain-free weather. /EC/
