NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 27, 5:10 AM CST, 6 hours 50 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED TO ADD AVIATION DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 610 AM CDT SUN JUN 27 2004 .AVIATION...WIDESPREAD MVFR CONDS AND LOCAL AREAS OF IFR/LIFR CONDS WILL EXIST IN THE VICINITY OF JAN...GLH...GWO...CBM...MEI...AND NMM UNTIL AT LEAST 14Z THIS MORNING AS PRECIP ASSOC WITH A SMALL MID LEVEL DISTURBANCE PASSES TO THE EAST. VFR CONDS ARE EXPECTED THIS MORNING FOR KHBG. A MESOSCALE BOUNDARY FROM NEAR MCCOMB TO SHUBUTA WILL KEEP MOST TSTM ACTIVITY ANCHORED TO THE SOUTH OF MEI/NMM THIS MORNING. HBG WILL SEE RISK FOR TS IN VICINITY DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS THE BOUNDARY SINKS SLOWLY SOUTH. PRIMARY CONSIDERATIONS LATER TODAY AND THIS EVENING CONCERN TSTM REDEVELOPMENT WITH APPROACH OF E TX SHORTWAVE TROUGH. EXPECT CURRENT SHOWER/TSTM ACTION AND MVFR/IFR CONDS TO DIMINISH QUICKLY LATER THIS MORNING AS DISTURBANCE MOVES EAST...BUT QUICK REGENERATION IS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AS SOME DESTABILIZATION TAKES PLACE AND BOUNDARIES ARE IN ABUNDANCE. GLH AND GWO LOOK TO BE UNDER GREATEST RISK FOR TSTM CONDS THIS AFTN. 43/EC && .SYNOPSIS...A STALLED BOUNDARY ALONG THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA IS ALLOWING FOR A CONSTANT TRAINING OF PRECIPITATION OVER NEARLY SATURATED SOILS IN THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA. UNFORTUNATELY...NO SIGNIFICANT RELIEF IS IN SIGHT FOR THE NEXT 48 HOURS. THE PERPETUAL ONSLAUGHT OF WAVE AFTER WAVE MOVING EASTWARD THROUGH THE BOUNDARY CONTINUES WITH THE LATEST WAVE OVER CENTRAL TEXAS SHOWING GOOD ORGANIZATION IN WV SATELLITE IMAGERY. && .DISCUSSION...THE WET WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY OVER THE AREA AS A STRONG SHORT WAVE TROUGH OVER CENTRAL TEXAS SLOWLY TRACKS TO THE EAST/NORTHEAST. MODEL PW VALUES ARE ABOUT .3 INCHES OVERDONE WHEN COMPARED TO THE 00Z SOUNDING DATA. THIS IS PROBABLY THE SOURCE FOR THE OVERESTIMATION OF THE PRECIPITATION VALUES IN THE MODEL DATA. NEVER-THE-LESS...FFG GUIDANCE VALUES REMAIN EXTREMELY LOW OVER NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA WITH FORECAST VALUES OF .7 INCHES/HOUR BEING SHOWN IN THE GUIDANCE NUMBERS. FOR THIS REASON...FEEL CONFIDENT IN EXTENDING THE FFA THROUGH TODAY (AND EVENTUALLY THROUGH TONIGHT) AS THE PRECIPITATION CONTINUES TO TRAIN OVER THE AREA ALONG THE BOUNDARY. SOME GOOD NEWS IN ALL OF THIS IS THAT THE ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER OVER THE AREA TODAY SHOULD HELP KEEP THE STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS FROM BECOMING WIDESPREAD. FOR MONDAY..THE ON AND OFF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE AS THE WAVE SLOWLY MOVES OFF TO THE EAST. EXPECT THE FOCUS OF THE PRECIP TO MOVE SOUTHWARD THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS THE WAVE EXITS THE AREA AND AS THE BOUNDARY BEGINS TO RESETTLE DOWN ALONG THE COAST. GIVEN LESS FAVORABLE JET POSITIONING AND LESS MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE AREA (AND THUS LOWER PW VALUES)...THE RAINFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD BE LESS THAN THE PREVIOUS TWO DAYS. WEDNESDAY COULD BE THE DRIEST DAY OF THE FORECAST PERIOD AS A VERY BRIEF PERIOD OF SHORT WAVE RIDGING BUILDS OVER THE AREA. GIVEN THE FACT THAT SIGNIFICANT LINGERING MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN OVER THE AREA IN THE LOWER LEVELS AND GIVEN THAT EXPECTATION THAT WE WILL FINALLY SEE THE SUN AGAIN (AN THEREFORE SOME INSTABILITY FROM HEATING IN THE AFTERNOON)...HAVE CHOSEN TO GO WITH MID RANGE SCATTERED POPS FOR AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS. ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THE CONVECTION SHOULD DIMINISH IN MOST AREAS...EXCEPT IN THE WEST WHERE ANOTHER APPROACHING SHORT WAVE TROUGH BEGINS TO LIFT THE BOUNDARY BACK TO THE NORTH AGAIN AND OVER THE AREA. BY AFTERNOON ON THURSDAY...EXPECT A RETURN TO THE WET PATTERN AS THE TROUGH SLOWLY APPROACHES. SHEAR PROFILES WITH THIS WAVE ARE EXPECTING TO BE WEAK. GIVEN THE ANTICIPATED SLOW APPROACH OF THIS NEXT SYSTEM...ANTICIPATE ANOTHER CIRRUS SHIELD TO ADVANCE OUT AHEAD OF THE MAIN SYSTEM...THUS HAVING A SOMEWHAT STABILIZING EFFECT AS IT ARRIVES THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. FOR THIS REASON...THINK THAT THIS WAVE WILL BEHAVE IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE PREVIOUS ONES. FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...WILL KEEP THE AREA IN THE WET PATTERN...DUE TO HIGH UNCERTAINTY IN THE MODELS. THE ONLY THING THAT THEY APPEAR CLEAR ON IS THAT THEY DONT REINTENSIFY THE BERMUDA HIGH (WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR US TO TRY OUT.) HOWEVER...DUE TO THE ABSENCE OF ANY MAJOR SYSTEMS APPROACHING...HAVE GONE WITH CLIMO POPS. GIVEN THE ENTRENCHED CLOUDY/WET PATTERN...HAVE GONE WITH TEMPS LOWER THAN NORMAL THROUGH THE 7 DAY FORECAST PERIOD. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
