AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
400 AM CDT MON JUN 2 2003
DIFFICULT FORECAST SHAPING UP FOR TODAY AS DIFFERENCES CONTINUE
BETWEEN FCST MODELS AGAIN THIS RUN WITH THE DEVELOP OF A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT WILL AFFECT OUR AREA LATER TODAY.
LATEST SFC ANALYSIS HAS THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS SOUTHERN
MISSISSIPPI...NEAR A HATTIESBURG TO NATCHEZ TO JONESBORO,LOUISIANA
LINE. THIS BOUNDARY WILL LIFT SLOWLY NORTHWARD TODAY AS A WARM FRONT
IN RESPONSE TO A DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE CENTER OVER NORTHERN TEXAS.
THE STRENGTH AND MOVEMENT OF THIS LOW IS HANDLED DIFFERENTLY BY THE
GFS AND ETA. THE GFS DEEPENS THE LOW A LITTLE TOO RAPIDLY AND MOVES
THE LOW TOO QUICKLY ACROSS OKLAHOMA TODAY AND INTO EASTERN MISSOURI
BY SUNDOWN. THE ETA SOLN IS MORE IN LINE WITH THE OTHER GLOBAL
MODELS AND WILL BE LEANED TOWARDS IN THE FCST.
AS THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS THIS MORNING DRAWS
CLOSER TO OUR AREA AND THE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH...DEEP SOUTHWEST
FLOW WILL INCREASE MOISTURE ACROSS THE AREA. DEW PTS WILL CLIMB BACK
INTO THE LOWER 70S AND PWS WILL APPROACH TWO INCHES. WITH ENOUGH
INSTABILITY...MOISTURE AND WIND SHEER ACROSS THE AREA LATER TODAY
THE THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME
SEVERE. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL BE LIKELY AS WELL...ESPECIALLY SOUTH
OF INTERSTATE 20. WL MENTION CAUTION ON AREA LAKES TODAY GENERALLY
WEST OF INTERSTATE 55. GOING WITH THE SLOWER ETA...WL CONTINUE PCPN

STALLS. THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL LINGER OVER SOUTHERN
MISSISSIPPI THROUGH THURSDAY BEFORE LIFTING BACK AS A WARM FRONT
