AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 308 PM CDT WED JUN 30 2004 ...FORECAST CHALLENGE CONTINUES TO BE PRECIP THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK... .SHORT TERM...MORE OF THE SAME IN THE FORECAST FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS AS UPPER TROUGH REMAINS JUST WEST OF THE REGION AND IMPULSES CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUGH THE UPPER FLOW. FIRST CONCERN IS WHERE WILL MOST OF THE SHRA AND TSRA FORM/CONTINUE TONIGHT. WITH NO DISTINCT BOUNDARY OR S/W MOVING ACROSS THE AREA...IT WILL BE HARD TO DO THIS. SHRA AND TSRA FORMED TODAY FURTHER SOUTH THEN WHAT WAS INITIALLY THOUGHT AND THIS IS LINING UP WELL WITH THE UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE. FLASH FLOOD WATCH MAY BE NEEDED FOR AT LEAST THE NORTHERN TWO THIRDS OF THE CWA. THESE SHRA AND TSRA HAVE CONTINUED TO DEVELOP OVER THE SAME AREA ALL DAY AND LOOK TO LAST THROUGH THE EVENING. WITH PW VALUES OF NEAR 2 INCHES...HOURLY RAINFALL RATES COULD EASILY APPROACH UP TO 2 INCHES AN HOUR. THE STATIONARY FRONT HAS MOVED FURTHER NORTH AND WILL REMAIN THERE. THIS WILL KEEP LL WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTH ALLOWING GULF MOISTURE FREE REIGN NORTHWARD AND WITH SW WINDS ALOFT PW VALES WILL REMAIN NEAR 2 INCHES THROUGH SATURDAY. SHRA AND TSRA WILL REMAIN IN THE FORECAST AS UPPER LEVEL PATTERN REMAINS THE SAME. BY FRIDAY A STRONG AND NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH WILL BE JUST WEST OF THE CWA. WITH THIS NEGATIVE TILT AND THE NEGATIVELY TILTED RIDGE AHEAD OF THE TROUGH... LOOK FOR A VERY SLOW PROGRESSION EAST WITH THIS SYSTEM...MAYBE GETTING OUT OF THE AREA BY LATE SUNDAY. .LONG TERM...ON THE FOURTH OF JULY THE TROUGH AXIS LOOKS TO FINALLY MOVE THROUGH THE CWA BY SUNDAY EVENING/MONDAY MORNING. IF THIS HOLDS TRUE THEN THE REGION WILL START TO GO BACK TO NORMAL WITH MAINLY AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS SCATTERED ACROSS THE REGION. THERE ARE SOME MODEL CONTINUITY ISSUES BY LATE SUNDAY THOUGH. THE ECMWF TRIES TO BUILD IN THE UPPER RIDGE SUNDAY WHILE THE GFS CONTINUES TO SHOW WEAK TROUGHING WEST OF THE AREA IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. GFS DOES GO TOWARDS CLIMO BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK AND THIS WOULD INDICATE A MORE NORMAL WEATHER PATTERN WITH CLOSER TO NORMAL TEMPERATURES. ONLY GOING TO MAKE MINUTE CHANGES TO THE FORECAST AS MODELS HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO THIS FOR THE LAST WEEK. && .SYNOPSIS...12Z H5 HAND ANALYSIS SHOW A COUPLE OF UPPER LOWS OVER CANADA. ONE SITTING OVER BRITISH COLUMBIA AND ANOTHER ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE HUDSON BAY. RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN CONUS WITH THE RIDGE AXIS THROUGH THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE AND NORTH INTO ALBERTA. WV ALSO SHOWS THESE UPPER LOWS PRETTY WELL AND MOISTURE CONTINUING TO STREAM ACROSS THE ARKLATEX REGION. VISIBLE SATELLITE AT 18Z SHOWED CLOUDS TRYING TO BURN OFF OVER NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN MS. THIS HAS ALLOWED SOME AREAS IN SOUTH MS TO JUMP UP QUICKLY AND IN RESPONSE MORE THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING EAST OF KHEZ AND THE SEABREEZE ACTIVITY IS PICKING UP NEAR KGPT AND KMOB. 18Z REGIONAL RADAR HAS SHRA AND TSRA ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL MS WITH MORE ACTIVITY NORTH OF THE FRONT IN TN. RADAR SHOWS THE SHRA AND TSRA PICKING UP IN SOUTH CENTRAL LA AND THIS WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. && .JAN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
