NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 7, 1:45 AM CST, 8 hours 11 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 245 AM CDT THU JUN 7 2001 ON SATELLITE REMNANTS OF A WARM CORE ALLISON WAS NOTED ACROSS EAST TEXAS...WHICH HELPED TO PROVIDE A RICH TROPICAL AIRMASS OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THE MAIN SHOWER ACTIVITY WAS NOTED OVER THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY WARNING AREA. ON THE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH ALLISON WAS OVER EAST TEXAS. LOOKING AT THE SHORT TERM IT WILL BE A WET ONE...MAINLY THROUGH TONIGHT. ALL MODELS INITIALIZED FAIRLY WELL. THE AVN MODEL DID HAVE A SPURIOUS SHORT WAVE COME OUT OF THE GULF...AND SENDS IT EAST OVER THE REGION THROUGH FRIDAY. OTHERWISE THE MODELS AGREED FAIRLY WELL IN THE MASS FIELDS THROUGH FRIDAY...WITH MINOR DIFFERENCES. REMNANTS OF ALLISON WILL SINK SLOWLY TO THE SOUTH...TO THE SOUTHEAST TEXAS COAST BY FRIDAY MORNING. THIS WILL ALLOW ADDITIONAL RAINFALL OVER MUCH OF THE CWFA FOR MAINLY TODAY INTO TONIGHT. THE BEST RAINFALL AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN IN THE SOUTH...RANGING FROM 3 TO LOCALLY 5 INCHES DURING THE PAST FEW DAYS. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL BE EXTENDED FOR THE WHOLE COUNTY WARNING AREA FOR TODAY. THE MODELS ARE EMPHASIZING THE BEST RAINFALL OVER THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE REGION FOR TODAY WITH RAINFALL AMOUNTS FROM 1 TO AROUND 2.5 INCHES POSSIBLE BY EARLY FRIDAY. THIS WILL BE AIDED BY A LOW LEVEL JET OF AROUND 30 KNOTS...A THETA RIDGE AXIS AND IS ALSO THE PRIME AREA FOR NORTHWARD MOVING SHORTWAVES AND THE GREATEST LIFT. ON FRIDAY...A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BEGIN MOVING SLOWLY SOUTHEAST OVER THE FORECAST AREA. DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH TROPICAL MOISTURE IS REMAINING FROM ALLISON...THE FRONT COULD ALSO PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL RAINS UNTIL SATURDAY. THIS BOUNDARY SHOULD BE ALONG THE COAST ON SATURDAY. GUIDANCE: TEMPS LOOK GOOD AND WILL ONLY MAKE SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS. FOR POPS...WILL HAVE THE GREATEST POPS IN THE SOUTH (CATEGORICAL) TAPERING OFF TO THE NORTHWEST (GOOD CHANCE) FOR TODAY. WILL HAVE THE BEST POPS FOR THE EAST TONIGHT. ON FRIDAY WITH FRONT COMING IN WILL HAVE SCATTERED POPS ACROSS THE REGION...ESPECIALLY AROUND THE FRONT. AS NOTED BY DAY SHIFT CONFIDENCE IS NOT REALLY HIGH ON LINGERING TROPICAL MOISTURE AND EXACTLY HOW MUCH FRONTAL FORCING WILL BE PRESENT. 24 HR QPF DISCUSSION: PRECIPITABLE WATER WILL BE AROUND 2 INCHES THROUGH THE PERIOD. MODELS ARE GOING FOR AROUND 1 TO 2 INCHES WITH THE BEST AMOUNTS IN THE EAST...WHERE THE LOW LEVEL JET/THETA RIDGE WILL LINGER OVER. NCEP QPF AMOUNTS SIMILAR WITH 1 TO 2 INCHES OVER THE EASTERN HALF...WHICH SEEMS REASONABLE. EXTENDED DISCUSSION: WITH FRONT MOVING OFF THE COAST BY LATE SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD DRY THE REGION OUT SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. MEAN UPPER RIDGE WILL DOMINATE OUR PATTERN DURING THE PERIOD WITH A CUT OFF LOW IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THE CANADIAN MODEL TRIES TO BRING IN SOME MOISTURE ACROSS THE REGION FROM THE CUT OFF LOW MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. IT BRINGS THE LOW NORTH OF THE REGION...WHILE PUTTING THE FORECAST AREA INTO A SHORT WAVE TROF BY TUESDAY. THE NAVY NOGAPS KEEPS SHOWERS AROUND FOR THE SOUTH HALF ON SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. THE EUROPEAN MODELS ALSO HAVE A CUTOFF LOW THAT HANGS AROUND THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY DURING THE PERIOD. SO AT THIS TIME CONFIDENCE IS LOW ON THE EXTENDED FORECAST...BUT WILL LEAVE IT ALONE TO MAINTAIN CONSISTENCY. WILL LET THE DAY SHIFT TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT IT.
