AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 1130 AM CDT FRI JUL 8 2005 .DISCUSSION... THE PREVIOUS FORECAST FOR THE REST OF TODAY IS LOOKING PRETTY GOOD RIGHT NOW...BUT I DID GO AHEAD AND MAKE A FEW TWEAKS BASED ON CURRENT RADAR TRENDS AND THE LATEST MODEL INPUT. CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY THAT STARTED EARLIER THIS MORNING SEEMS TO BE LOCATED WITHIN THE MID LEVEL DEFORMATION ZONE OF THE UPPER TROUGH BISECTING THE FORECAST AREA. THIS AREA ALSO APPEARS TO BE IN THE RIGHT ENTRANCE OF DECENT 250 MB JET...WHICH IS PROVIDING ADDITIONAL LIFT. RAIN RATES HAVE DECREASED A BIT OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS SO FLOODING IS RIGHT NOW NOT AS BIG OF A CONCERN IN OUR NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST PORTIONS OF MS. OTHER CONVECTION IS QUICKLY TRYING TO GET UNDERWAY IN THE SOUTH AS RELATIVELY LOW CONVECTIVE TRIGGER TEMPS ARE MET. AS THE SITUATION EVOLVES INTO THIS AFTERNOON I ANTICIPATE SOUTHEAST ZONES WILL COME TO EXPERIENCE THE BEST PRECIP COVERAGE...AIDED BY ABOVE FACTORS AND LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE SUBTLE REMNANTS OF A BOUNDARY. GIVEN THE CURRENT LOCATION OF THE UPPER TROUGH...ALL (OR ALMOST ALL) OF THE COUNTIES/PARISHES IN OUR CWA WILL HAVE AT LEAST SOME RISK OF RAIN...DESPITE DRIER AIR ATTEMPTING TO WORK INTO THE DELTA IN BUILDING LOW LEVEL NORTHEAST FLOW. THUS...THE PREDOMINANT UPDATE TO 1ST PERIOD WAS TO REORIENT POPS WHICH BASICALLY ENTAILED RAISING POPS 5 TO 15 PERCENT IN CERTAIN REGIONS. MAX TEMPS GENERALLY BUMPED DOWN A LITTLE DUE TO CURRENT CLOUD TRENDS BUT ADJUSTMENTS WERE ONLY A DEGREE OR TWO AT MOST. ALL OTHER TWEAKS WERE MINOR. && .JAN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MS...NONE. LA...NONE. AR...NONE. && 50
