NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 27, 2:50 PM CST, 27 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 350 PM CDT THU JUL 27 2006 .DISCUSSION...AS TALKED ABOUT EARLIER...CONVECTION HAS REMAINED TO OUR NW WITH NO ACTIVITY ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN 2/3 OF THE CWA. ACROSS THE SOUTH...STRONG DEEP THETA E ADV HAS ALLOWED FOR CONVECTION TO FIRE OVER SE MS/LA. THE DECENT SOUTHERLY LOW-LEVEL FLOW IS ALLOWING FOR GOOD OUTFLOW PROPAGATION AND STORM REGENERATION ON THE NNW SIDE OF THE NORTHWARD MOVING BOUNDARIES. THIS SHOULD ALLOW STORMS TO ENTER THE S-CENTRAL AND SW PORTION OF THE CWA BETWEEN NOW AND 7-8 PM. HERE IS WHERE I WILL MENTION POPS AND ISO/SCT CONVECTION FOR THE FIRST FEW HRS OF THE EVENING. ACTIVITY SHOULD NOT MAKE IT TOO FAR NORTH BEFORE INSTABILITY AND LESS MOISTURE CUT THE STORMS OFF AND ALLOW THEM TO DISSIPATE LIKELY BEFORE REACHING I-20. IF THEY DO REACH I-20...THEY WONT MAKE IT MUCH FURTHER NORTH. THE NW PORTION OF THE CWA WILL LIKELY MISS THE LARGE PRECIP COMPLEX AS IT SHIFTS JUST NW OF THE CWA. ON SAT...ALL THE STRONG MOISTURE ADV FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT SHOULD SET THE STAGE FOR A GOOD DEAL OF ACTIVITY ON FRI. WE SHOULD SEE SOME S/W ENERGY SPREAD OUR WAY FROM THAT WEAKENING UPPER FEATURE CURRENTLY OVER AR AND HELP TO FIRE UP SHOWERS AND STORMS. AT THIS POINT...IT DONT HAVE A STRONG FEELING ABOUT WHERE THE GREATEST COVERAGE WILL BE...THUS I WILL JUST GO WITH THE LATEST GFS POPS WHICH IS BASICALLY 60%. WE SHOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO WARM UP A BIT MORE AND REACH THE LOWER 90S. THIS WILL GIVE US ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO SUPPORT A FEW STRONG TSRA WITH WIND GUSTS TO 40 MPH OR SO. ACTIVITY SHOULD DECREASE BY MID EVENING WITH A QUIET OVERNIGHT. ON SAT...JUST ABOUT ALL GUIDANCE SUGGESTS HEIGHTS WILL BE RISING AS THE UPPER RIDGE CENTER POSITIONS IT SELF OVER OR SLIGHT WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA. THIS TYPICALLY SUPPRESSES CONVECTION. DUE TO THIS...FEEL THE LASTEST GFS IS TOO AGGRESSIVE WITH POPS AND HAVE OPTED TO CUT THEM DOWN AND STAY IN THE CHANCE RANGE. ADDITIONALLY...IF FRI WILL BE AS ACTIVE AS IT LOOKS...WE WILL NEED SAT TO RECOVER SOME. AS FOR TEMPS...STARTED TO TWEAK TEMPS UP A TAD ON FRI AT A FEW LOCATIONS...BUT FOR THE MOST PART STAYED WITH OR VERY CLOSE TO GUIDANCE. SAT WILL BE DIFFERENT SINCE WE ARE EXPECTING LESS CONVECTION TEMPS SHOULD BE QUITE A BIT WARMER. WILL GO WITH LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S. /CME/ LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. DID NOT STRAY FROM THE MODELS MUCH. MADE A FEW TWEAKS TO THE TEMPS AND GUIDANCE HAD LOWER POPS SO STUCK WITH THOSE. BY SATURDAY NIGHT THE UPPER TROUGH IS OFF TO THE EAST WITH THE TAIL END OF THE TROUGH AXIS STILL OVER THE CWA. THE MODELS CONTINUE TO GENERATE PRECIP...SO WILL HOLD ON TO THE EVENING ACTIVITY. CONDITIONS LOOK SIMILAR FOR SUNDAY WITH THE BEST POPS IN THE EAST. BY MONDAY THE TROUGH AXIS HAS MOVED OUT OF THE AREA BUT THE SURFACE HIGH WAS PUSHING INTO THE AREA FROM THE EAST. SOUTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES AND THE MOIST AIR STAYS IN PLACE. PW VALUES NEVER REALLY FALL BELOW 2 INCHES...SO EXPECTING DIURNAL ACTIVITY FOR THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEK...MON-WED. A WEAK DISTURBANCE SEEMS TO DROP INTO THE SOUTHEAST US...WHILE A COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST AROUND THURSDAY. THE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW A GOOD AMOUNT OF MOISTURE ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE I-20 CORRIDOR. THE BOUNDARY SEEMS TO MOVE INTO THE CWA AROUND FRIDAY AND HOLD ON THROUGH THE WEEKEND. CHANCE POPS LOOK GOOD THROUGH THE PERIOD. RAISED TEMPS A LITTLE NEXT WEEK TO SHOW TEMPS IN THE MID AND UPPER 90S. MODEL VALUES SHOW MID 20 925 TEMPS...SO WENT WITH IT. OTHERWISE STUCK WITH GUIDANCE. /07/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
