NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 11, 2:40 AM CST, 6 hours 20 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 315 CDT WED JUN 10 2003 ANALYSIS...LATEST INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS A STRONG SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVING EAST FROM OKLAHOMA. VERY HIGH ATMOSPHERIC INSTABILITY AND FAVORABLE UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS HAVE ALLOWED FOR THE FORMATION AND FORWARD PROPAGATION OF SEVERAL MCS. AHEAD OF THE TROUGH AXIS...A WARM...VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS HAS DEVELOPED. THE SUBTROPICAL JET STREAM REMAINS MOSTLY OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN TEXAS. GFS MODEL PERFORMANCE ON THIS SYSTEMS TRAJECTORY AND TIMING HAS BEEN EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD...WHEREAS THE ETA HAS HAD A FEW ISSUES REGARDING THE PREDICTED PATH OF THE SYSTEM AND ITS STRENGTH. THEREFORE...PLACING HIGH CONFIDENCE IN GFS SOLUTION FOR THE FIRST 48 HOURS. FOR TODAY...EXPECT THE MAJORITY OF THE ENERGY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM TO TAKE AN ABRUPT SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER...OVER ARKANSAS AS THE UPPER LEVEL WIND FLOW BECOMES MORE SOUTHWESTERLY. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR MOST OF THE STRONGEST STORMS TO PASS TO THE NORTH. HOWEVER ANOTHER...WEAKER SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE THROUGH EASTERN LOUISIANA AND CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI DURING THE MAXIMUM HEATING HOURS. THE DAILY HEATING COUPLED WITH AN ALREADY VERY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WILL ALLOW FOR SCATTERED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP...MAINLY ALONG THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR AND SOUTH. NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA...ESPECIALLY NEAR GREENVILLE...WILL BE MORE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE STRONGER SYSTEM TO THE NORTH. REGARDLESS OF THE AREA AFFECTED...THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE HEAVY RAIN PRODUCERS. RECENT UPPER AIR SOUNDINGS CONFIRM THE GFS MODEL DATA THAT SHOWS UP TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN MAY FALL WITH SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS. DUE TO THE VOLATILE ATMOSPHERE TODAY...SOME OF THE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS MIGHT BECOME SEVERE WITH GUSTY THUNDERSTORM DOWNDRAFT WINDS. HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF NICKELS IS POSSIBLE. THE THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DIMINISH LATE THIS EVENING AS THE SHORT WAVE MOVES EAST AND AS THE DAILY HEATING IS LOST. THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED SHORT WAVE TO THE NORTH WILL OBTAIN A CLOSED CIRCULATION THURSDAY AND WILL DEVELOP A WEAK COLD FRONT THAT WILL SLOWLY DRIFT SOUTHWARD THROUGH AREA BOTH DAYS. MEANWHILE TO THE SOUTHWEST...THE SUBTROPICAL JET WILL SLOWLY PROPAGATE EAST WARD TO BE IN THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA BY FRIDAY. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY ALONG WITH THE POSITIONING OF THE SUBTROPICAL JET WILL ALLOW FOR MORE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS BOTH DAYS. AGAIN...GIVEN THE WARM...VERY MOIST...AND UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS THAT ARE ANTICIPATED WITH THE SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW BOTH DAYS...A FEW OF THE STRONGER STORMS COULD BRIEFLY BECOME SEVERE. HOWEVER...THE CHANCES BOTH DAYS IS SMALL. EXTENDED...ANOTHER WAVE WILL DEVELOP IN THE MID LATITUDE FLOW SATURDAY. CONFIDENCE DECREASES IN THE MODEL/S PERFORMANCE WITH THE APPROACH OF DAY 7. GIVEN THE WEAK FLOW OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES AND THE PRESENCE OF A CUT OFF LOW NEAR THE AREA...WILL KEEP CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE EXTENDED BASED ON THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE MODEL/S HANDLING OF THIS SYSTEM. GIVEN CLIMATOLOGY...A SYSTEM OF THIS KIND WOULD SLOWLY DRIFT OFF TO THE EAST...NORTHEAST OVER A PERIOD OF 2 TO 4 DAYS. WILL LEAN MORE TO THAT AS A SOLUTION.

NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS .DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT... ...THUNDERSTORMS... SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE OUTLOOK AREA TODAY AND TONIGHT. SOME STORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE... ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. THE GREATEST RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXISTS OVER NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE OUTLOOK AREA...GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 82. THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER RISKS WILL BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH...AND LARGE HAIL TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS. AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE OVER EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS...WILL PROGRESS EASTWARD TODAY INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION. SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO TRANSPORT VERY MOIST AIR INTO THE REGION...CREATING A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP. THERE WILL BE ENOUGH SHEAR FOR STORM ORGANIZATION...AND DAYTIME HEATING WILL CONTRIBUTE TO A VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. BETTER UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL EXIST OVER NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE OUTLOOK AREA. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY... ...DAYS TWO AND THREE... STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE ENTIRE OUTLOOK AREA THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. AN ACTIVE JET STREAM COMBINED WITH A SLOW MOVING FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL HELP INITIATE SEVERAL ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION. THE AIRMASS WILL REMAIN VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE...AND SUPPORTIVE OF ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. ...DAYS FOUR THROUGH SEVEN... AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THIS WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK. STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER THE ENTIRE OUTLOOK AREA SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BECOME CENTERED OVER THE ARKLATEX REGION...AND SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF THE CENTER WILL PROVIDE A CONTINUED TRANSPORT OF VERY MOIST AIR INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION. A SLOW MOVING FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL COMBINE WITH THE VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS TO SUPPORT ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. .SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT... THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...HAM RADIO OPERATORS...AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL...IN SUPPORT OF SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS...MAY BE NEEDED...ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE OUTLOOK AREA.
