NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 30, 4:58 PM CST, 1 hour 25 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 558 PM CDT SUN JUL 30 2006 .DISCUSSION... WEAK DISTURBANCE/CONVECTIVE VORT DRIFTING SLOWLY SOUTHWEST ON THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE MID LEVEL RIDGE EXTENDING EAST INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY IS TRIGGERING LOTS OF CONVECTION RIGHT NOW ACROSS EAST CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI. CONVECTION ACROSS THE REST OF THE MS REMAINS GENERALLY VERY ISOLATED WITH REMNANT SHOWERS DISSIPATING QUICKLY UP IN AROUND THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE. MESOANALYSIS SHOWS BEST POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH EARLY EVENING TO PUSH SOUTH ALONG THE CORRIDOR OF THE MS/AL STATELINE WHILE MOST OTHER ACTIVITY REMAINS ISOLATED OR NON-EXISTENT. ML CAPE VALUES PRECEDING CONVECTION ARE UP ABOVE 2000 J/KG GENERALLY...SO WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR SOME STRONG STORMS OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. UPDATED 1ST PERIOD FORECAST TO REFLECT THINKING IN TERMS OF PRECIP COVERAGE. THINK THAT MOST ACTIVITY WILL TEND TO WIND DOWN BY 8 OR 9 PM...BUT THE PRESENCE OF MENTIONED DISTURBANCE MAY STILL BE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SOME ISOLATED CONVECTION ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE MS ZONES THROUGH THE NIGHT. NEW ZONES AND GRIDS COMING OUT WITH ANOTHER UPDATE ANTICIPATED LATER ON THIS EVENING. /BB/ && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWED THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE REGION WITH A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES MOVING IN SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. ONE OF THE SHORT WAVES WAS MOVING INTO NORTH MISSISSIPPI WITH SOME ASSOCIATED SCATTERED STRONG CONVECTION OVER OUR NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI COUNTIES. ALSO SOME SEA BREEZE CONVECTION WAS DEVELOPING NORTHWARD OVER SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS WAS IN PLACE. ONCE AGAIN DEWPOINTS HAD MIXED OUT TO AROUND 68 TO 72...THUS NOT REACHING FULL INSTABILITY POTENTIAL...AS NOTED FROM ADJUSTING MORNING SOUNDINGS. BUT WE DO HAVE CAPES OF AROUND 3500 IN TH NORTHEAST. SO WILL PUT ISOLATED STRONG STORMS IN THE HWO FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EARLY THIS EVENING FOR THE EASTERN THIRD. OUR MOIST AIRMASS REGIME WILL CONTINUE AS LOW LEVEL WINDS CONTINUE TO BRING IN TROPICAL MOISTURE ACROSS THE REGION FOR THE PERIOD. PRECIP WATER WILL STAY AT 1.9 TO 2.4 INCHES. MODELS EXPECT A SERIES OF SHORT WAVES TO COME DOWN NORTHWEST FLOW AROUND THE UPPER RIDGE. EXPECT MOST OF THE CONVECTION TO END DURING THE EARLY EVENING HOURS WITH ISOLATED CONVECTION POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT. EXPECT ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVERGENCE FROM THE CONVECTION IN THE NORTH WITH THE SEA BREEZE CONVECTION IN THE SOUTHEAST. FOR MONDAY WE MAY GET SOME ISOLATED STORMS AND SCATTERED SHOWERS JUST BEFORE EARLY AFTERNOON. THERE WILL BE ENOUGH INSTABILITY(LIFTED INDEX...-6 TO -8.) FOR SOME GUSTY WINDS...FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND SOME LOCAL DOWNPOURS. THIS SHOULD CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING HOURS FOR MONDAY. EXPECT THE BEST SCATTERED COVERAGE TO BE SOUTHEAST OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE...WHERE INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE CONVERGENCE WILL BLEND TOGETHER. WILL KEEP LOW ISOLATED POPS IN THE EAST HALF FOR THE EVENING. WENT GENERALLY CLOSE TO GUIDANCE POPS. POPS FOR MONDAY LOOKED A LITTLE HIGH IN THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST FOR LIKELY POPS...LOWERED THEM TO HIGH SCATTERED POPS. AS FAR AS TEMPS ARE CONCERN DO NOT SEE A GREAT DEAL OF CLOUD COVERAGE FOR THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. SO WARM GUIDANCE TEMPS AND A MILD NIGHT SEEMS TO BE ON TRACK./17/ LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. THE SCENARIO FOR MUCH OF THIS WEEK REVOLVES AROUND A SPLIT BETWEEN TWO LARGE UPPER ANTICYCLONES THAT WILL DOMINATE THE CONUS. ONE CENTER DEVELOPS IN THE ERN TN VALLEY WHILE ANOTHER BECOMES ANCHORED IN NM. SEVERAL MINOR TUTT LOWS ROTATE NWWD THROUGH THE SPLIT ACROSS THE LOWER MS VALLEY WHILE OUR E-W LOW LEVEL RIDGING STAYS ABOUT STATIONARY ALONG THE GULF COAST. ENOUGH DIURNAL INSTABILITY STILL IN THE PICTURE FOR OUR TYPICAL AFTERNOON AND EVENING TSRA ALTHOUGH THEY SHOULD BE MORE ISOLATED TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. AT 300MB...A RATHER IMPRESSIVE TUTT LOW MOVES INTO THE CWFA ON FRIDAY FROM THE ERN GULF OF MEXICO AND COULD BOOST OUR RAIN CHANCES FOR NEXT WEEKEND. THIS LOW COMPLETE WITH A POOL OF NEAR -8C 500MB TEMPS AS WELL SO WILL NEED TO WATCH GUIDANCE RESPONSE IN THE POPS FOR NEXT FEW MODEL RUNS BEFORE JUMPING ON BOARD. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME MODEL SUGGESTIONS THAT A FRONTAL ZONE COULD MAKE A DIVE INTO THE GULF STATES BY THE WEEKEND HOWEVER WE ARE CURRENTLY SIDING WITH NCEP ON THAT FRONT REMAINING WELL TO OUR N FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...MAYBE AS FAR S AS TN VALLEY BUT MORE LIKELY HOLDING IN THE OH VALLEY. AT ANY RATE...PWATS STAY IN A FIXED RANGE OF 1.9-2.1 INCHES ALL WEEK. THE FRIDAY FEATURE COULD BOOST PWATS TO 2.4 INCHES HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND AND COULD MEAN MUCH HEAVIER TROPICAL DOWNPOURS. SINCE AUGUST WILL BE UNDERWAY...GREATER AWARENESS FOR TROPICAL SYSTEMS WILL BE IN ORDER AND THE GFDL HAS BEEN MAKING SOME NOISE IN THE BAHAMAS BY THE END OF THIS WEEK. OVERALL LOW LEVEL TRAJECTORIES ACROSS THE GULF OF MEXIOC CONSISTENTLY FROM THE CARIBBEAN ALL WEEK LONG SO WE ALL SHOULD BE PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION...STAY TUNED. OTHERWISE...EXPECT SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURE REGIME WITH MAX TEMPS VERY CLOSE TO ENSEMBLE MEANS. POPS GENERALLY ACCEPTED WITH HIGHEST CHANCES EACH DAY OVER SERN MS CLOSER TO COASTAL INFLUENCES. /40/ && .JAN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MS...NONE. LA...NONE. AR...NONE. && 50
