AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1050 AM CDT THU AUG 10 2006
.DISCUSSION...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED WELL EARLIER THAN
EXPECTED ACROSS CNTRL MS THIS MORNING AND INVESTIGATING SOME THINGS
EARLIER IT APPEARS THAT SOME SUBTLE ISENTROPIC LIFT FEATURES WAS TO
MOST LIKELY CULPRIT. ELSEWHERE MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES HAVE DOMINATED AND
ALREADY THERE IS SOME CU DEVELOPING TO THE NORTH OF THE COMPLEX THAT
HAS DEVELOPED ACROSS CNTRL MS. WITH THAT WE STILL EXPECT A GOOD
COVERAGE OF TSRA ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON GIVEN THE WEAKNESS AND
ENHANCED DIVERGENCE ALOFT. AFTER RUNNING THROUGH THE MICROBURST
CHECKLIST THE THREAT OF DOWNBURSTS TODAY IS NOT AS HIGH AS YESTERDAY
BUT THERE IS STILL A SMALL THREAT MAINLY ACROSS THE NORTH WHERE TEMPS
WILL BE WARMEST. ONE PROBLEM WITH THE RAIN IS THAT THESE STORMS ARE
VERY SLOW MOVING AND WITH PWS TODAY GREATER THAN 2.25 WE COULD SEE
SOME FLASH FLOODING IN PROBLEMS IN ISOLATED AREAS.
THE OTHER PROBLEM(ALBEIT GOOD) IS THE HEAT ADV. ALREADY THIS MORNING
THE HEAT ADVISORY WAS CANCELED FOR CNTRL MS BUT IT DOES REMAIN IN
EFFECT FOR THE NORTH. IF CONVECTION AND EVEN THICK CU DEVELOP TOO
QUICKLY IN THAT AREA THEN THAT REGION WILL HAVE A HARD TIME MEETING
CRITERIA. ANYWAY THE BEST NEWS IS THAT WE SEEM TO BE GETTING SOME
MUCH BENEFICIAL RAIN OVER THE CWA AND THIS IS GOING TO KEEP TEMPS
FROM THE EXTREME VALUES WE SAW YESTERDAY.
UPDATE HAS ALREADY BEEN SENT TO UP POPS ACROSS CNTRL MS...LOWER TEMPS
ANOTHER DEGREE IN THAT AREA AND FIX THE CLOUD COVER.
&&
.AVIATION...MAIN PROBLEM TODAY WILL BE TSRA. RIGHT NOW THE CONVECTION
IS ELEVATED SO ONLY PROBLEM IS THE RAIN IS CAUSING MVFR VISBIES OVER
KJAN. ONCE THE CONVECTION BECOMES MORE SFC BASED THEN CEILINGS AND
VISBIES WILL BE THE PROBLEM ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. THAT SAID
SITES SHOULD REMAIN IN VFR STATUS UNTIL A STORM APPROACHES THAT
SITE.

NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS .DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT... ...THUNDERSTORMS... ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS BY EARLY AFTERNOON IN AN INCREASINGLY MOST AIRMASS BUILDING INTO THE REGION. ACTIVITY WILL INCREASE THROUGH AFTERNOON WITH STORMS BECOMING NUMEROUS AT TIMES ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN MISSISSIPPI. MODERATE TO LOCALLY HIGH ATMOSPHERIC INSTABILITY AND HOT SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL ALLOW STORMS TO PRODUCE WIND GUSTS TO 35 TO 45 MPH...WITH A FEW EVEN HIGHER GUSTS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION. IN ADDITION TO GUSTY WINDS...STORMS WILL ALSO GENERATE FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING STRIKES. PERSONS WITH OUTDOOR PLANS TODAY SHOULD BE PREPARED TO SEEK SHELTER IF STORMS THREATEN. ...FLOODING... THE SLOW-MOVING NATURE OF THUNDERSTORMS TODAY WILL ALLOW THEM TO DROP HEAVY AMOUNTS OF RAIN IN ISOLATED LOCATIONS. RAINFALL RATES UP TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING TEMPORARY PONDING OF WATER ISSUES...ALTHOUGH MAJOR FLOODING PROBLEMS ARE NOT EXPECTED. ...SEASONAL THREATS... HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM 95 TO 100 DEGREES TODAY OVER NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE OUTLOOK AREA...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF A RAYVILLE LOUISIANA TO JACKSON AND MERIDIAN MISSISSIPPI LINE WHERE A HEAT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. HEAT INDEX VALUES SHOULD TOP 100 DEGREES IN ALL OF THE ARKLAMISS BY EARLY AFTERNOON...BUT VALUES IN THE ADVISORY AREAS ARE EXPECTED TO AT LEAST BRIEFLY RANGE FROM 105 TO 110 DEGREES. THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING LATER TODAY SHOULD PRODUCE COOL OUTFLOW WHICH WILL BLUNT THE HEAT IN MANY AREAS BY LATE AFTERNOON WITH SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES ANTICIPATED ON FRIDAY. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY... ...DAYS TWO AND THREE...FRIDAY AND SATURDAY... SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM AGAIN FRIDAY AFTERNOON ALONG AND EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 55 CORRIDOR. THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY TO PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAINFALL...ESPECIALLY IN SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. THIS ACTIVITY WOULD EFFECT AREAS THAT MAY HAVE ACCUMULATED SEVERAL INCHES OF PRECIPITATION OVER THE PREVIOUS FEW DAYS...AND ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN WOULD PRESENT POTENTIAL FLOODING AND PONDING OF WATER PROBLEMS. ...DAYS FOUR THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
