NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Mar 30, 3:50 PM CST, 2 hours 10 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 350 PM CST WED MAR 30 2005 .SHORT TERM...A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT IS ON TAP TONIGHT. STRONG LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT (340K+ 850MB THETAE RIDGE AXIS THROUGH NORTH CENTRAL GULF) LATE THIS AFTERNOON COMBINED WITH COLD MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES (500MB TEMPS -12 DEG G) IS YIELDING STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND GREAT CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY. DEEP LAYER SHEAR HAS INCREASED TO 50KT IN 0-6KM LAYER...AND 0-1KM SHEAR HAS INCREASED TO >20KTS. A CAPPING INVERSION 750MB IS LIMITING THE DEVELOPMENT OF DEEP CONVECTION ATTM...BUT THE CONTINUED MOISTURE TRANSPORT COMBINED WITH WEAK UPWARD FORCING AND AN APPROACHING PSEUDO-DRYLINE WILL ALLOW FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO ERUPT QUICKLY EARLY THIS EVENING. THINKING HAS NOT CHANGED MUCH IN TERMS OF CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION: TSTM INITIATION IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR OVER NRN PORTIONS OF THE OUTLOOK AREA IN NOSE OF STRONG LOW LEVEL THETAE RIDGE...WHERE THE CAP WILL ERODE MORE QUICKLY...AND THEN IT SHOULD DEVELOP SOUTHWARD AS THE NIGHT WEARS ON. GIVEN THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR EXPECTED (0-6KM SHEAR 50KM)...FAIRLY GOOD COVERAGE OF SEVERE WEATHER IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY AND THE RISKS FOR LARGE HAIL/DMG WINDS/TORNADOES ARE BEING CONVEYED IN THE HWO. ALSO OF SIGNIFICANCE IS THE RISK FOR HEAVY RAINFALL LATE TONIGHT INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS THURSDAY...ESPECIALLY TO THE EAST OF INTERSTATE 55. MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT ON KEEPING A RESERVOIR OF HIGH CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY AND PRECIPITABLE WATER (1.50 INCHES) UPSTREAM FROM TSTM ACTIVITY THAT DEVELOPS OVERNIGHT. CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATION OVER THE SOUTHEAST WILL BE PERSISTENT AS IT CONTINUES TO BE FED FROM THIS MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS...AND THIS COULD RESULT IN LOCALIZED VERY HEAVY RAINFALL TOTALS. EXPECT A RELATIVE LULL IN THE ACTION FROM MID MORNING UNTIL LATE AFTERNOON THURSDAY. THE PRIMARY SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO APPROACH LATE IN THE DAY...RESULTING IN A RAPID INCREASE IN CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATION THURSDAY EVENING. GENERALLY SPEAKING... SEVERE WEATHER IS LIKELY TO OCCUR THURSDAY NIGHT AS DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL BE STRONG AND CONVECTIVE INSTABILITY SHOULD BE GREAT...BUT FORECAST DETAILS ARE NOT OF HIGH CONFIDENCE AS MUCH WILL DEPEND ON WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT. MODELS DO SUGGEST THAT AN EAST-WEST ORIENTED BOUNDARY WILL SET UP SOMEWHERE BETWEEN I-20 AND HWY 82...AND THIS COULD CERTAINLY ENHANCE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL IF IT HAPPENS. BEST GUESS AT THIS TIME IS THAT SOME SORT OF LINEAR CONVECTIVE SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP OVER THE ARKLATEX REGION IN THE EVENING AND SWEEP EASTWARD ACROSS THE REGION...BRINGING THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER AND VERY HEAVY RAINFALL. DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH RAIN OCCURS TONIGHT...ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN THURSDAY NIGHT COULD RESULT IN FLOODING PROBLEMS. /EC/ .LONG TERM...FRI BULK OF PRECIP LOOKS TO BE INTO AL BUT THERE WILL STILL LIKELY BE SOME LIGHT SPRINKLES DURING THE DAY AS CAA SQUEEZES EVERYTHING OUT OF THE ATMOSPHERE. ONE PROBLEM WE WILL HAVE FRI WILL BE WINDS. H925 WINDS AT H925 ARE UP TO 30KTS. WITH STRONG CAA IN THE MID LEVELS...UNIDIRECTIONAL WINDS UP TO H7 AND 6 HR SFC PRESSURE RISES B/T 7 AND 8 MB DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HRS...WE WILL HAVE NO PROBLEM TRANSPORTING THESE STRONGER WINDS DOWN TO THE SFC. A WIND ADV WILL POSSIBLY BE NEEDED FOR THE FRI AFTERNOON/EVENING. WINDS WILL FINALLY BEGIN TO DIE DOWN LATE SAT MORNING AS THE STRONG CAA IN THE MIDLEVELS MOVES TO THE EAST. AFTER AN ACTIVE 48HRS THE WEATHER SEEMS TO QUIET DOWN. UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BEGINS TO TAKE PLACE SATURDAY WHILE A SFC HIGH WILL DOMINATES THE LANDSCAPE SAT THROUGH MIDDAY MONDAY. NW WINDS IN THE LL WILL KEEP TEMPS BELOW NORMAL SAT BUT BY SUN WEST WINDS IN THE LOWER AND MID LEVELS WILL BEGIN TO WARM THINGS UP. H85 TEMPS WARM FROM 2C FRI TO CLOSE TO 10C BY MONDAY AFTERNOON. MIXING UP TO H85 MAY BE A PROBLEM UNTIL MONDAY WHEN WINDS BECOME MORE UNIDIRECTIONAL UP TO THAT LEVEL. SFC MOISTURE FROM RAINS THU AND INTO FRI WILL HELP KEEP TEMPS DOWN AS WELL. I WILL USE H925 TEMPS AS A BASE FOR FORECAST HIGHS SAT AND SUN KEEPING TEMPS AT OR JUST BELOW MEX GUIDANCE AND THEN I WILL USE H85 TEMPS FOR MON HIGHS. BY MON AFTERNOON THE SFC HIGH WILL BE SITUATED JUST OFF THE SESTRN CONUS AND SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL ONCE AGAIN TRANSPORT MOISTURE BACK INTO THE REGION. THIS IS AGREED BY ALL OF THE EXTENDED RANGE MODELS. A STRONG S/W WILL APPROACH OUT OF THE NW LATE TUE AND THIS WILL BRING SHRA AND TSRA BACK INTO THE FORECAST BY LATE TUE/EARLY WED. /CAB/ && .JAN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MS...NONE. LA...NONE.

NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS .DAY ONE...TONIGHT AND THURSDAY... ...THUNDERSTORMS... THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE STORMS TONIGHT FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI ALONG AND EAST OF A GRENADA...TO VICKSBURG...TO NATCHEZ LINE. THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE UNDER A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER. SUPERCELLS WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY THREAT...WITH GOLFBALL SIZE HAIL OR LARGER POSSIBLE WITH A FEW STORMS. TORNADOES ARE ALSO A POSSIBILITY...ESPECIALLY IN THE PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA COVERED BY THE MODERATE RISK. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BRING GULF MOISTURE INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY LATE THIS AFTERNOON WHILE A DISTURBANCE IN THE UPPER-LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE WILL MOVE INTO THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS FEATURE IS EXPECTED TO PUSH A SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT INTO NORTH MISSISSIPPI TONIGHT. AN UNSTABLE AIRMASS...COMBINED WITH COLD TEMPERATURES ALOFT...AND THE APPROACHING FRONT COULD RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF GENERATING VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THIS EVENING. IN ADDITION...INCREASING LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR THIS EVENING ALONG AND EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 55 CORRIDOR WILL GIVE STORMS HERE AN ENHANCED POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE TORNADOES. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO CONSOLIDATE INTO LINES AND CLUSTERS LATE TONIGHT AS PRECIPITATION BECOMES MAINLY CONFINED TO EASTERN MISSISSIPPI AFTER MIDNIGHT. THERE WILL LIKELY BE A BREAK IN THE ACTION THURSDAY MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS BETWEEN WEATHER SYSTEMS. HOWEVER...ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS MAY REDEVELOP DURING THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON TOMORROW AS A STALLED SURFACE FRONT OVER THE NORTHERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA SERVES AS A BOUNDARY TO INITIATE CONVECTION DURING THE MIDDAY AND AFTERNOON HOURS. LEVELS OF WIND SHEAR AND INSTABILITY IN THE ENVIRONMENT WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO WARRANT A LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND RISK. ...FLOODING... LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT OVER PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 55 CORRIDOR. THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT COULD TEND TO AFFECT INDIVIDUAL LOCATIONS MULTIPLE TIMES...WHICH MAY RESULT IN ISOLATED RAINFALL TOTALS OVER 2 INCHES. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY... ...DAYS TWO AND THREE...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT... MORE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND HEAVY RAIN MAY DEVELOP OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. A POTENT UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE REGION FROM THE WEST THURSDAY. THIS UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL DRIVE A SURFACE LOW AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY. AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM... INCREASING MOISTURE FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO COMBINED WITH COLD AIR ALOFT WILL MAKE FOR A VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. STRONG JET STREAM ENERGY WILL COMBINE WITH THE MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY TO CREATE A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR SEVERE WEATHER. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS LIKELY THAT ORGANIZED SEVERE STORMS...INCLUDING SUPERCELLS...WILL OCCUR DURING THIS PERIOD. LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES WILL ALL BE POSSIBLE...ALTHOUGH THE RISK OF SIGNIFICANT WEATHER SHOULD BE HIGHER IN EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE SWATH OF HEAVIEST RAIN AND MOST SIGNIFICANT SEVERE SHOULD BE CLOSELY TIED TO WHERE THE WARM FRONT AND THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES EVENTUALLY END UP FROM TONIGHTS STORMS. THIS IS DIFFICULT TO PREDICT MORE THAN ABOUT 6 HOURS IN ADVANCE. IN ADDITION...VERY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL LEAD TO THE PONDING OF WATER ON ROADS AND AT LEAST MINOR FLOODING PROBLEMS. THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE SIGNIFICANT FLOODING PROBLEMS WILL BE ACROSS EASTERN MISSISSIPPI WHERE 1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN MAY FALL UPON AREAS OF ALREADY-SATURATED GROUND. LOCAL STORM TOTALS OF 3 TO 5 INCHES ARE EXPECTED. ...DAYS FOUR THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY... NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. .SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT... THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTER GROUPS...HAM RADIO OPERATORS...AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL...IN SUPPORT OF SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS WILL BE NEEDED ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA STARTING LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO TONIGHT. ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED AGAIN THURSDAY NIGHT FOR MOST OF THE REGION...ALTHOUGH IT CANNOT BE RULED OUT FOR PORTIONS OF THE REGION DURING THE DAY TOMORROW. OTHERWISE...THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY. FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE AT WWW.SRH.NOAA.GOV/JAN.
