AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
345 PM CDT THU JUN 9 2005

.SHORT TERM...THIS MORNINGS SNDG SHOWED A DECENT DRY LOW LAYER OVER
THE AREA AND THIS RESULTED IN THE CU FIELD TAKING QUITE A WHILE TO
DEVELOP OVER THE CWA TODAY. THIS ALONG WITH A SLIGHT CAP ALSO KEPT
CONVECTION FROM DEVELOPING OVER MUCH OF THE AREA AS EARLY AS WE HAVE
SEEN THE PAST FEW DAYS. SHRA AND TSRA DID START TO DEVELOP LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND THIS LOOKS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. STILL NO CHANGE TO THE THINKING THAT
CONVECTION WILL DIE DOWN SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET WITH MOST OF THE RAIN
GONE BY MIDNIGHT AND CLOUDS CLEARING OUT FOR THE MOST PART.

FRIDAY WILL CONTINUE A SIMILAR PATTERN TO TODAY HOWEVER...EXPECT
CONVECTION TO START OFF A LITTLE EARLIER THAN IT DID TODAY.  SEVERAL
OLD BOUNDARIES COULD BE LAYING AROUND FROM TODAYS CONVECTION THAT
WILL AID IN SUBSEQUENT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.  SURFACE WINDS
WILL BE PREDOMINANTLY OUT OF THE SOUTH SOUTHEAST PULLING IN ABUNDANT
MOISTURE.  WE ARE STILL PRETTY SATURATED WITH PWS AROUND 2 INCHES
AND K-INDICES ARE STILL RIGHT AROUND 34 SO ANY RAINFALL WILL HAVE
THE POTENTIAL OF BEING QUITE HEAVY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
LIKELY DIE OUT AND BE OUT OF OUR HAIR SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET.
AFTERNOON TEMPS WILL BE SIMILAR TO TODAYS...WITH HIGHS IN THE MID TO
UPPER 80S ACROSS THE CWA.  CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO FILTER IN FROM THE
SOUTH OVERNIGHT FRIDAY DUE TO THE APPROACH OF TROPICAL STORM ARLENE
THAT WILL BE ENTERING INTO THE GULF BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON KEEPING US
MOSTLY CLOUDY INTO SATURDAY. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL HOVER AROUND 70 FOR
THE ENTIRE CWA.

FOR SATURDAY...WE WILL BEGIN TO SEE TROPICAL STORM ARLENES AFFECTS
ON THE AREA.  WINDS WILL PREDOMINANTLY BE OUT OF THE EAST TO
SOUTHEAST AS SHE MOVES NORTHWARD AND WE COULD BEGIN SEEING RAIN AS
EARLY AS MID-DAY.  /CAB/MUELLER/

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT WEEK)...PRIMARY CONCERN
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY WILL BE FOR HEAVY RAINFALL OVER EASTERN
PORTIONS OF MISSISSIPPI AS TROPICAL CYCLONE ARLENE CONTINUES A
NORTHWARD TRACK ALONG THE VICINITY OF THE MS/AL BORDER. MODELS
INDICATE SOME TENDENCY TOWARDS EXTRA-TROPICAL BEHAVIOR ON THE NORTH
SIDE OF SYSTEM BY THIS WEEKEND. TROPICAL MOISTURE TRANSPORT VECTORS
ARE FORECASTED TO POINT STRONGLY INTO EASTERN MS LATE SATURDAY UNDER
INCREASING AREA OF UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE. AS IS TYPICALLY THE CASE
WITH ANY SORT OF LAND-FALLING TROPICAL SYSTEM...EXPECT THERE WILL BE
A SHARP CUT-OFF BETWEEN HEAVY RAIN AND NO RAIN...BUT IT IS VERY
DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT WHERE THAT WILL HAPPEN THIS FAR OUT IN TIME.
THE BEST GUESS IS FOR THE AREA EAST OF INTERSTATE 55 TO RECEIVE THE
BULK OF HEAVY RAIN...WITH HEAVIEST OCCURRING FROM COLUMBUS TO
MERIDIAN. MODELS ARE AGGRESSIVE WITH DRYING AND SUBSIDENCE FOR EARLY
NEXT WEEK...BUT THE GFS DOES BRING A FRONTAL BOUNDARY DOWN FOR THE
MIDDLE OF THE WEEK AND HAVE KEPT POPS GOING. /EC/
