NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Apr 7, 8:43 PM CST, 37 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 943 PM CDT FRI APR 7 2006 .DISCUSSION... VOLATILE SITUATION CONTINUES. INITIAL ROUND OF TORNADIC SUPERCELLS WITH VERY LARGE HAIL HAS SHIFT NORTHEAST OF CWA. A SQUALL LINE THAT INITIATED ALONG DRYLINE NOW IS CROSSING NORTHWEST PART OF CWA BUT HAS NOT YET BUILT SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 20. MEANWHILE...STRONG DYNAMICS ARE APPROACHING FROM THE NORTHWEST WITH WELL DEFINED COLD FRONT NOW CROSSING KSHV. THIS WILL LIKELY CATCH UP WITH THE DRYLINE STORMS AT SOME POINT AND WE SHOULD SEE LINE BUILD SOUTH WITH TIME TONIGHT. EXACTLY WHEN THIS SOUTHWARD BUILDING OCCURS IS UP TO DEBATE BUT PROBABLY SHOULD OCCUR BEFORE THE LINE GETS PAST INTERSTATE 55 IN THE JACKSON AREA. SUFFICIENT SHEAR FOR SUPERCELLS AND TORNADOES WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT. DEEP MIXING FROM THE DAYTIME THAT SENT DEWPOINTS TO AROUND 60 IN THE WARM SECTOR HAS RELAXED AFTER DARK AND THE MIDDLE 60S ARE STARTING TO RETURN NORTH TO INTERSTATE 20. ALWAYS DIFFICULT TO CALL...BUT THERE IS A CHANCE THAT WE BREAK BACK INTO A LINE OF SUPERCELLS AS NOCTURNAL JET KICKS IN AND LOW LEVEL SHEAR INCREASES. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TORNADO THREAT INCREASES...VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS WILL CONTINUE MUCH OF THE NIGHT WITH LINE GIVEN STEEP LAPSE RATES. && .AVIATION... OUTSIDE OF SQUALL LINE COMING THROUGH WITH POTENTIAL FOR HIGH WINDS AND HAIL AND BRIEFING IFR CONDITIONS...SHOULD BE VFR MOST OF THE PERIOD. STORMS SHOULD CLEAR KGLH AND KGWO BY 06Z...KJAN AROUND 09Z...AND KHBG AND KMEI AROUND 11Z. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS .DAY ONE...TONIGHT AND SATURDAY... ...THUNDERSTORMS... A FEW DISTURBANCES MOVING ACROSS THE REGION HAVE SET THE STAGE FOR A SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK THROUGH TONIGHT. THE MAIN CONCERNS WILL BE VERY LARGE HAIL...DESTRUCTIVE WINDS AND TORNADOES. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR THE ENTIRE OUTLOOK AREA...HOWEVER LOCATIONS ALONG A LINE FROM RAYVILLE LOUISIANA...TO YAZOO CITY TO GOLDEN TRIANGLE ARE IN A MORE FAVORABLE POSITION FOR TORNADO DEVELOPMENT LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THUNDERSTORMS WERE DEVELOPING JUST WEST AND NORTHWEST OF THE OUTLOOK AREA...AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT. AN AXIS OF MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY HAS SETTLED TO THE NORTH AND WEST AND WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON. SUPERCELLS WILL DEVELOP AND TRACK EAST AND NORTHEAST THROUGH THE REGION. BASEBALL OR LARGER HAIL...DESTRUCTIVE LONG TRACK TORNADOES AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH ANY STORM. AS THE STORM SYSTEM BARRELS THROUGH THE CENTRAL STATES...THE ENVIRONMENT WILL BECOME MORE FAVORABLE FOR THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA. THE GREATEST RISK FOR TORNADOES WILL SHIFT TO AREAS EAST OF INTERSTATE 55 AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 20. IN ADDITION TO LONG TRACK TORNADOES...LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL REMAIN A CONCERN. LATER THIS EVENING...A LINE OF STORMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. AS THE LINE OF STORMS SWINGS THROUGH CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI...MORE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE. EVERYONE IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS ON THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING WEATHER SITUATION. ...FLOODING... THERE IS A RISK OF FLASH FLOODING AND HEAVY RAIN THIS EVENING ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA. PLENTY OF MOISTURE IS FLOW INTO THE REGION. ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HEAVY RAINFALL IN SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. IN ADDITION...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING OVER THE SAME AREAS MAY LEAD TO PONDING OF WATER ON ROADWAYS AND OTHER LOW LYING AREAS. FLASH FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR THE ENTIRE AREA...HOWEVER STORMS TRACKING ACROSS THE SAME AREAS IS MORE LIKELY FOR NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY NIGHT 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 WILL BE NEEDED THROUGH TONIGHT.
