NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 30, 7:19 PM CST, 1 minute earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 819 PM CDT SUN JUL 30 2006 .DISCUSSION... MERGER OF TWO THUNDERSTORM COMPLEXES OCCURRED IN THE VICINITY OF CLARKE COUNTY IN SE MS A LITTLE EARLIER. SUBSEQUENT COMBINATION OF CONVECTION IS RATHER VIGOROUS AND PROPAGATING SOUTH/SOUTHWEST DOWN THE I-59 CORRIDOR...PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS AND PRODIGIOUS AMOUNTS OF LIGHTNING. UPDATED THE FORECAST TO INCREASE POPS FOR THE FAR SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE CWA...INCLUDING THE HATTIESBURG AREA. REST OF ACTIVITY ACROSS THE CWA IS PRETTY MUCH NEGLIGIBLE. EXPECT MOST OF THE ACTION TO BE OVER IN SOUTHEAST ZONES WITHIN AN HOUR OR TWO. HOWEVER...RUC IMPLIES 850 MB CONVERGENCE IS INCREASING INTO THE BACKSIDE OF THIS DEVELOPING SYSTEM. THIS COULD SPAWN SOME HIGHER BASED...BUT ISOLATED CONVECTION ACROSS A WIDER AREA LATER ON TONIGHT. NEW ZONES AND GRIDS OUT WITH ANOTHER UPDATE ANTICIPATED BEFORE 10 PM. /BB/ && .PREVIOUS 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/ && .JAN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MS...NONE. LA...NONE. AR...NONE. && 50
