AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 1110 AM CDT MON AUG 21 2006 .DISCUSSION...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CLEARLY SHOWS THE CIRCULATION AROUND THE MID-UPPER LEVEL ANTICYCLONE CENTERED OVER NORTHEAST TEXAS. THIS IS RESULTING IN FAIRLY SWIFT EASTERLY FLOW ALONG THE GULF COAST THAT WILL LIKELY BRING A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LATER THIS AFTERNOON TO OUR EASTERN COUNTIES AROUND HIGHWAY 84. LOCAL RADARS INDICATED A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS ALREADY TRYING TO DEVELOP OVER SOUTHWEST ALABAMA AND SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAPED ACROSS NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI THIS MORNING. A WEAKENING SHORTWAVE WAS NOTED ON SATELLITE IMAGERY/RUC ANALYSIS DROPPING SOUTH OVER NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI. THIS WAS RESULTING IN CLOUD COVER ALONG HIGHWAY 82 BUT NO PCPN YET THIS MORNING. AS THE FRONT DRIFTS SOUTH INTO OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES THIS AFTERNOON ALONG WITH THE SHORTWAVE... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP. THE MORNING WET MICROBURST CHECKLIST SUGGEST THERE IS A RISK FOR DAMAGING WINDS FROM THE THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES HAVE WARMED A LITTLE FASTER THAN EXPECTED IN OUR NORTHEAST COUNTIES THIS MORNING. MOST SITES THERE WERE IN THE LOWER 90S BUT GTR REPORTED 97 LAST HOUR. THIS AREA MAY BE THE FIRST TO SEE STRONG THUNDERSTORMS IN OUR AREA THIS AFTERNOON. UPDATED GRIDS FOR TEMP TRENDS BUT REMAINDER OF FORECAST LOOKED GOOD AND NO ZONE UPDATES NEEDED AT THIS TIME. && .JAN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MS...NONE. LA...NONE. AR...NONE. && 22
