NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 22, 10:35 AM CST, 3 hours 30 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 1135 AM CDT SAT JUL 22 2006 .DISCUSSION... FORECAST UPDATED TO ADJUST TEMPS MOST AREAS AND RAIN CHANCES NRN ZONES. AFTERNOON TEMPS WILL CLIMB HIGHER THAT PREVIOUSLY FORECAST AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRIFTS SWD SLOWER THAN EXPECTED. HEAVIER CLOUD DECKS LIMITED TO VICINITY OF THE BOUNDARY SO FAR SO WILL SEE ANOTHER HOT DAY SRN AND SOME CENTRAL AREAS...ESPECIALLY SE WHERE HAVE ADJUSTED HIGHS BACK INTO UPPER 90S. LOWERED AFTERNOON POPS NWRN ZONES WHERE DEWPOINTS HAVE BEGUN TO FALL SOMEWHAT BEHIND THE PREFRONTAL TROUGH. INCREASED RAIN CHANCES NERN ZONES AS A BAND OF CONVECTION THAT HAS DEVELOPED WILL MOVE THROUGH THOSE AREAS SHORTLY. HIGH POPS CENTRAL AND SRN ZONES STILL LOOK GOOD. SOUNDINGS ADJUSTED FOR AFTERNOON CONDITIONS INDICATE CAPE VALUES FROM 3400-4500 WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND 1.9 INCHES. && .PREV DISCUSSION... 355 AM CDT SAT JUL 22 2006 ABNORMALLY STRONG COLD FRONT EARLY THIS MORNING LIES FROM DALLAS NORTHEAST TO LITTLE ROCK TO LOUISVILLE KENTUCKY. A DEVELOPING LONGWAVE TROUGH PLOWING SOUTHEAST TOWARD OUR REGION IS DRIVING MOVEMENT OF THIS FRONT TOWARD THE ARKLAMISS...AND THE FEATURE SHOULD BE WELL INTO THE REGION BY SUNDOWN. MOST OF THE STRONG SYNOPTIC LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER TROUGH WILL REMAIN NORTH OF OUR AREA...BUT THERE STILL WILL BE A LITTLE ENHANCED MID LEVEL LIFT IN OUR NECK OF THE WOODS DUE TO FRONTAL CONVERGENCE AND DIFFERENTIAL VORTICITY ADVECTION. ALSO AIDING CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT WILL BE LOCALIZED UPPER TROPOSPHERIC DIVERGENCE PROGGED BY THE GFS IN THE AFTERNOON OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ZONES. ANTECEDENT AIRMASS OVER THE ARKLAMISS DOES NOT SHOW POTENTIAL FOR HIGH INSTABILITY...BUT HEATING WILL IMPART MODERATE INSTABILITY WITH ML CAPES OVER 2000 J/KG IN MANY SPOTS AFTER MIDDAY. EXPECTING BEST HEATING AND SUBSEQUENT DESTABILIZATION TO OCCUR ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE CORRIDOR THROUGH AFTERNOON WITH SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS INITIALLY DEVELOPING IN THESE AREAS BY MIDDAY...AND THEN INCREASING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AREAS TO THE NORTHWEST WILL STILL SEE SOME ACTIVITY...BUT MORNING CLOUDS AND EARLIER PASSAGE OF RESIDUAL STORM OUTFLOWS AND THE ACTUAL COLD FRONT WILL LIMIT DESTABILIZATION. SPC HAS MOST OF THE REGION IN THE SLIGHT RISK...MAINLY FOR HIGH WIND POTENTIAL. WE CONCUR WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS...BUT THINK THAT COVERAGE WILL NOT BE GREAT WITH MOST STORMS REMAINING BELOW SEVERE LIMITS. REITERATING...A BIG OUTBREAK OF SEVERE STORMS IS NOT ANTICIPATED. RISKS WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED IN THE HWO. STORMS SHOULD HAVE DECENT MOVEMENT SOUTHEAST BY LATE IN THE DAY...BUT COULD BE TORTOISE-LIKE THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON AND THUS HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN. THIS WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED IN THE HWO AS WELL. MAV GUIDANCE POPS SEEM A LITTLE LOW CONSIDERING CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL IN THE SOUTHERN HALF OF ZONES THIS AFTERNOON...SO THEY WERE INCREASED. TEMPS WILL BE TRICKY AND GOVERNED STRONGLY BY CONVECTION. STILL POTENTIAL TO HEAT UP QUICKLY IN SOUTHEAST ZONES AND TEMPS BUMPED UP A BIT OVER MAV THERE. HEAT ADVISORY NOT REQUIRED...BUT IT WILL BE QUITE UNCOMFORTABLE IN MANY AREAS THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY AFTERNOON. MOVEMENT SOUTHEAST OF MENTIONED COLD FRONT WILL BE AIDED BY STORM OUTFLOW THIS EVENING...AND SHOULD MAKE IT TO A POSITION ALONG THE SOUTHEAST BORDERS OF THE CWA BY MORNING. UNSEASONABLY DRY AIR WILL FILTER SOUTH BEHIND THE FRONT OVER MOST OF THE REGION TOMORROW...BRINGING RELATIVELY PLEASANT CONDITIONS WITH MOST OF THE RAIN CHANCES CONFINED ALONG AND EAST OF THE I-59 CORRIDOR. REMAINED VERY CLOSE TO MAV POP AND TEMP NUMBERS FOR TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. /BB/ OVERALL...NOT A GREAT DEAL OF CHANGE IN THE FORECAST FOR THE MED/LONG RANGE FROM PREV FORECAST. THE REGION WILL SEE THE UPPER TROUGH BASICALLY GET STUCK AND LEAVE THE TROUGH AXIS SITUATED JUST W OF THE CWA WITH A SW-NE ORIENTATION. THIS LINGERING TROUGH AXIS WILL CAUSE THE INITIAL SURGE OF DRY/COOLER AIR...WITH THE ASSOCIATED COOL FRONT...TO NOT REACH ITS FULL POTENTIAL AND TO STALL ACROSS THE SE PORTION OF THE CWA. BY TUE AFTERNOON AND WED...THE FRONT SHOULD MIX OUT AND MOISTURE WILL RETURN AND THIS WILL SET UP SOME MUCH BETTER THAN NORMAL PRECIP CHANCES FOR MID-WEEK WHICH MAY LAST INTO THE WEEKEND. FOR MON...THE BEST MOISTURE AND DISSOLVING FRONT WILL BE LOCATED ACROSS THE SE CWA AND THAT IS WHERE THE BEST PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE. GUIDANCE SHOWS THIS AND I WILL FOLLOW. THE NW CWA WILL REMAIN QUITE DRY ALOFT AND HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL CAP...DUE TO THIS WILL CUT POPS DOWN TO 5%. BY TUE...WE SHOULD SEE THE MOISTURE SLOWLY RETURN AS THE OLD FRONT REALLY DISSOLVES AND WITH THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS STILL IN A FAVORABLE POSITION...WILL FOLLOW GUIDANCE POPS AND MENTION ISO/SCT POPS FOR THE S 2/3RDS. DEEP MOISTURE REALLY LOOKS TO MAKE A COMEBACK FOR WED WHICH SEEMS TO PERSIST INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS DEEP MOISTURE RETURN WILL COMBINE WITH THE FAVORABLE TROUGH POSITION AND WILL BRING THE REGION SOME MUCH BETTER THAN AVG PRECIP CHANCES FOR WED AND AT LEAST THU. MOST MED RANGE MODELS HAVE BEEN SHOWING THIS ALONG WITH A STRONG TREND FROM THE PAST SEVERAL GFS ENSEMBLE RUNS. DUE TO THIS...I HAVE INCREASED POPS FOR A PORTION OF THE CWA EACH AFTERNOON ABOUT 10-20%. THE MAIN AREA WILL BE THE S HALF AND THEN W HALF. BEYOND THU...CONDITIONS LOOK TO REMAIN FAVORABLE WITH MOISTURE LINGERING AND UPPER SUPPORT STILL AROUND. WITH THIS...WILL FOLLOW GUIDANCE POPS AS IT SEEMS TO HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON THE SITUATION WITH CHANCE POPS FRI/SAT. AS FOR TEMPS...DRIER LOW-LEVEL AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION BY SUN WITH THE DRIEST ACROSS THE NW CWA. DUE TO THIS...WILL LOWER TEMPS TO THE LOWER 60S AS SFC DEWPTS LOOK TO BOTTOM OUT IN THE UPPER 50S ACROSS THE NW CWA. ELSEWHERE...GUIDANCE LOOKS GOOD AND WILL STICK WITH THE MID/UPPER 60S. FOR TUE...SOME MOISTURE RETURN SHOULD SUPPORT WARMER TEMPS AND GUIDANCE REFLECTS THIS. HOWEVER...IT SEEMS TOO COOL ACROSS THE S AND WILL WARM A FEW DEGREES. FOR WED-SAT...GUIDANCE WARMS QUITE A BIT AND THAT SEEMS VERY REASONABLE AND WILL FOLLOW. AS FAR AS HIGH TEMPS GO...THE LATEST GUIDANCE HAS WARMED UP FROM YESTERDAYS RUN AND IS OFFERING LOWER TO MID 90S FOR ALL PERIODS. THIS MATCHES WITH PREV FORECAST THINKING AND WILL BASICALLY JUST FOLLOW. THE ONLY ADJ WERE TO MEI WHEN IT STAYED AROUND 90 DEGREES. IT IS JUST HARD TO GO THAT COOL AFTER THE WARM BIAS MEI HAS HAD. I KNOW THERE WILL BE PRECIP TODAY WHICH WILL MOISTEN SOILS AND THERE WILL BE MORE AROUND DURING THE WEEK. HOWEVER...I DO NOT FEEL THAT ANY OF THAT WILL OVERCOME THE DEEP DRY CONDITIONS AND THAT REACHING 93-95 FOR MEI WILL BE QUITE EASY IF NOT REACHING HIGHER TEMPS. /CME/ && .AVIATION... BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING FROM SE ARKANSAS ACROSS NRN MS ZONES WILL DRIFT SWD WITH TIME THIS AFTERNOON. WILL ALSO SEE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP CENTRAL AND SRN ZONES IN THE VERY UNSTABLE AIR MASS IN PLACE. PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING WILL DEVELOP. OCCASIONAL MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS WILL OCCUR IN STORMS WITH LOCAL IFR CONDITIONS IN HEAVIER STORMS. && .JAN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MS...NONE. LA...NONE.

A FEW STRONG STORMS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE FOR AREAS NORTH OF THIS LINE BUT SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 82 THROUGH SUNSET. A HEALTHY COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO DROP SLOWLY TO THE SOUTH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA TODAY AND TONIGHT.

AREAS OF TORRENTIAL RAINFALL WILL OCCUR WITH STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. STORMS WILL TRACK ALONG SOME AREAS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME...PRODUCING STANDING WATER ON ROADWAYS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR PONDING WATER IN LOW LYING AREAS. DOWNPOURS IN HEAVIER STORMS MAY ALSO REDUCE VISIBILITY ALONG ROADWAYS.
