AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1030 AM CDT SAT AUG 27 2005
.DISCUSSION...CONTINUING TO WATCH POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS HURRICANE
KATRINA AND POSSIBLE SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE NORTHWEST.
CURRENTLY TSRA ARE MOVING SOUTHEAST OUT OF AR AND INTO THE DELTA
AND THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO BUST THE HEAT ADVISORY UP THERE BUT
DOWN SOUTH INTO VICKSBURG AND NATCHEZ. WILL UPDATE THE FORECAST TO
INCREASE POPS IN THE NW AND COOL HIGHS AS WELL. BUT AS FOR THE REST
OF THE FORECAST HIGH PRESSURE AND MUCH DRIER CONDITIONS WILL LEAVE
THE AREA WARM AND SUNNY. THESE LOW THETA E VALUES SHOULD HELP KEEP
THINGS FROM REFIRING ALONG THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY LATER TODAY.
JUST TO KEEP YOU UPDATED ON KATRINA. HURRICANE WATCHES HAVE NOW BEEN
POSTED FROM THE MOUTH OF THE PEARL RIVER TO MORGAN CITY AND WILL
LIKELY BE EXTENDED EAST THIS AFTERNOON. KATRINA AT 15Z HAD A MINIMUM
CENTRAL PRESSURE OF 940 MB AND SUSTAINED SFC WINDS OF 115 MPH MAKING
KATRINA A DANGEROUS CAT 3 STORM. CURRENT FORECAST STILL HAS IT
COMING ON SHORE ON THE EXTREME EASTERN EDGE OF LA AND MISSISSIPPI

NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS .DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT... ...THUNDERSTORMS... ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE NORTHWESTERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA TODAY. THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE POSSIBLE AS A COMPLEX OF STORMS MOVE OUT OF ARKANSAS AND NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI AND PUSHES A BOUNDARY INTO THE REGION. ASSOCIATED WITH THIS COMPLEX WILL BE A STRONG DISTURBANCE ALOFT WHICH WILL HELP TRIGGER STORMS DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY. DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN WITH ANY STORMS. ...SEASONAL THREATS... HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL LINGER FOR AT LEAST ONE MORE DAY ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. AS HAS BEEN THE CASE...THE COMBINATION OF HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 90S AND HIGH HUMIDITY WILL RESULT IN HEAT INDEX VALUES OF BETWEEN 105 AND 110 DEGREES TODAY. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY... ...DAYS TWO AND THREE...SUNDAY AND MONDAY... THE EXPECTED TRACK OF MAJOR HURRICANE KATRINA HAS BEEN SHIFTED WEST TO A LANDFALL ALONG THE LOUISIANA COAST MONDAY EVENING. THIS WOULD RESULT IN SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER IMPACT TO THE ARKLAMISS REGION THAN EARLIER THOUGHT...WITH POSSIBILITY OF HIGH WINDS AND HEAVY RAINS...ESPECIALLY ALONG EAST OF INTERSTATE 55. AT THIS TIME...THE HIGHEST THREAT FOR WINDS OF AT LEAST TROPICAL STORM FORCE WOULD BE ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE. HEAVY RAINFALL OF AT LEAST 3 TO 5 INCHES WOULD ALSO BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE TRACK OF KATRINA. THIS SITUATION WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED CLOSELY OVER THE WEEKEND. ...DAYS FOUR THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY... NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. .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 TODAY ACROSS THE NORTHWEST.
