NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 7, 1:30 AM CST, 5 hours 30 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 230 AM CDT MON JUN 7 2004 .SYNOPSIS...A WEAK WAVE WITH GOOD PVA OVER THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA...ALONG WITH A MODERATELY STRONG THETA-E RIDGE AND SOME INSTABILITY...HAS LED TO SOME NOCTURNAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EARLY THIS MORNING. HIGH PW VALUES IN THE SOUNDING DATA FROM 00Z INDICATE THAT THERE IS HIGH ENOUGH MOISTURE CONTENT AVAILABLE IN THE ATMOSPHERE TO PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS IN THE AREAS AFFECTED BY THE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. ELSEWHERE...THINGS ARE QUIET. && .DISCUSSION... EXPECT THE WAVE TO MOVE OFF TO THE EAST BY MID MORNING WITH MOST OF THE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHUTTING OF AS SHORT WAVE RIDGING IN AN ENTRENCHED SOUTHERLY FLOW BUILDS IN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY. AS THE RIDGE APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTHWEST THIS MORNING...SKIES SHOULD BEGIN TO CLEAR OUT SOME. HOWEVER...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD REDEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON. MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE CAPE VALUES BETWEEN 1000 J/KG AND 3000 J/KG DURING THE AFTERNOON PERIOD AND PW VALUES AROUND 1.6 INCHES. A WEAK THETA-E RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO SET UP ALONG THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR. GIVEN THE GOOD INSTABILITY...BUT SOMEWHAT LIMITED MOISTURE SUPPLY (ALONG WITH THE SHORT WAVE MID LEVEL RIDGING) AM HESITANT TO GO ANY HIGHER THAN LOW END...SCATTERED POPS FOR THIS AFTERNOON. AT ANY RATE...THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY SHOULD END AROUND SUNSET AS DAY TIME HEATING IS LOST. OVERNIGHT...FOR FORMATION SHOULD BE LIMITED. ANTICIPATED BL MOISTURE PROFILES SHOULD REMAIN BELOW 90 PERCENT IN MOST AREAS. HOWEVER...IN AREAS THAT HAVE RECEIVED AFTERNOON CONVECTION...FOG FORMATION WILL PROBABLY OCCUR AS SKIES CLEAR. ON TUESDAY...EXPECTING SIMILAR CONDITIONS TO THOSE FROM TODAY...ONLY WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER POPS. EXPECT FOCUSES OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION TO BE ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND ALSO ALONG THE STATE LINE OF MISSISSIPPI WITH ALABAMA. THE CONVECTION ALONG THE WESTERN BOUNDARY WILL BE MOSTLY DUE TO AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE FLUX FROM THE GULF (ADVECTING INTO EASTERN TEXAS AND LOUISIANA) COUPLED WITH AFTERNOON INSTABILITY. THE CONVECTION ALONG THE EASTERN BOUNDARY WILL BE MOSTLY DUE TO THETA-E RIDGING AND INSTABILITY. GIVEN A MORE ABUNDANT MOISTURE PROFILE IN THE WESTERN AREAS...THINK THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE ACTIVITY WILL OCCUR THERE. ONE THING THAT WILL PROBABLY INHIBIT SOME OF THE CONVECTION WILL BE THE ABSENCE OF ANY SHORTWAVES MOVING THROUGH THE AREA. ON TUESDAY NIGHT...EXPECT THE CONVECTION TO DIE OUT AROUND SUNSET. THE MAIN MOISTURE PLUME OVER THE WEST SHOULD REMAIN OVER THE ARK-LA-TEX AS A LOW PRESSURE CENTER IN THE MIDDLE LEVELS BEGINS TO MOVE OFF TO THE NORTH...WITH LITTLE EASTWARD PROGRESSION. ON WEDNESDAY...A DIRTY SHORT WAVE RIDGE SHOULD MOVE OVER THE AREA AGAIN AND HELP SUPPRESS SOME OF THE AFTERNOON CONVECTION. HOWEVER...THE AFOREMENTIONED AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY AND SOME OF THE MOISTURE THAT ADVECTS NORTHWARD ALONG THE EASTERN FLANK OF THE SYSTEM COULD MAKE IT INTO THE DELTA DURING THE AFTERNOON. WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE WESTERN AREAS COULD GET GRAZED BY A PASSING MCS AS IT MOVES NORTHEASTWARD FROM CENTRAL LOUISIANA. ANTICIPATED SHEAR AND INSTABILITY PROFILES SUGGEST MORE A MULTICELLULAR ENVIRONMENT OF NONSEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. CONVECTION ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON IS EXPECTED TO BE MOSTLY CONCENTRATED IN THE NORTH AS THE MCS MOVES THROUGH THE NORTHERN AREAS. AFTER IT MOVES THROUGH LATE IN THE AFTERNOON...EXPECT THE BERMUDA HIGH TO BEGIN TO REINTENSIFY OVER THE AREA AS THE RIDGE AXIS BUILDS WESTWARD AND INTO MISSISSIPPI. THIS SHOULD HELP KEEP THE AREA MOSTLY STABLE AND DRY THROUGH SATURDAY. THE MODELS DO PICK UP ON ANOTHER WAVE MOVING UP FROM THE SOUTHWEST ON SUNDAY. IF THIS PANS OUT...SUNDAY COULD BE A STORMY DAY WITH MOSTLY STRONG (NONSEVERE THUNDERSTORMS). MODELS SHOW A PRETTY MOIST AND UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE OVER THE AREA. WITH ANTICIPATED L.I. VALUES OF -6...INSTABILITY SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM. DEEP LAYER SHEAR SHOULD BE AROUND 30 KTS...WHICH IS SLIGHTLY LESS THAN THE DESIRED VALUE OF 40 KTS NEEDED FOR SUPERCELLULAR DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER...LOW LEVEL SHEAR SHOULD BE PRETTY GOOD WITH 25 KTS AT 850 MB. KEEP IN MIND THAT...THIS IS DAY 7 AND THE MODELS WILL PROBABLY DO A FLIP FLOP OR TWO BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
