Damaging Winds in Mississippi, June 12, 2006

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
400 PM CDT MON JUN 12 2006

.DISCUSSION...
SCORCHING TEMPS...COMBINED WITH A BIT OF SURFACE MOISTURE...HAS
FUELED SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS
EASTERN MISSISSIPPI AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT SURGING SOUTH FROM THE TN
VALLEY. ANOTHER DISTURBANCE (MCV?) TOPPING THE UPPER RIDGE CENTERED
IN THE UPPER PLAINS IS JUST NOW INSTIGATING SOME POTENT STORMS THAT
ARE MOTORING TOWARD CENTRAL ARKANSAS. THOSE LATTER STORMS WILL HAVE
TO BE WATCHED BECAUSE MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY GRADIENTS (NOT TO
MENTION CURRENT AMBIENT MOTION) WOULD SUPPORT THEM HEADING TOWARD
NORTHWEST ZONES. NONE OF THE COMPUTER GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THIS
(PROBABLY DUE TO A MAJOR H700 THERMAL CAP)...BUT CONVECTION THAT
MIGHT NOT HAVE A CHANCE AT INITIATING IN A CAPPED ENVIRONMENT COULD
MANAGE TO SURVIVE IF IT MOVED INTO SUCH ENVIRONMENT.

FOR TONIGHT...I WILL DISCOUNT STORMS TO OUR NORTHWEST FOR NOW (WITH
THE CAVEAT THAT THEY WILL BE WATCHED)...BUT THE FRONT STILL SEEMS
TO HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BRING AN ISOLATED STORM OR TWO TO EASTERN
ZONES THROUGH MID EVENING. HOT TEMPS SUGGEST DEEP MIXING AND
POTENTIAL FOR QUITE A BIT OF SUBCLOUD EVAPORATION...AND THEREFORE
GUSTY WINDS...WITH ANY STORMS. WORDING LEFT OUT OF THE HWO
HOWEVER...MAINLY BECAUSE THUNDEROUS CONVECTION THIS EVENING IS
EXPECTED TO BE MINIMAL. OTHERWISE...EXPECT PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES
BECOMING GENERALLY CLEAR BY MIDNIGHT WITH DRIER AIR IN THE BOUNDARY
LAYER GRADUALLY FILTERING SOUTH THROUGH THE ARKLAMISS AS THE COLD
FRONT PASSES. TEMPERATURES BY DAWN WILL NOT BE TERRIBLY COOL THOUGH
WITH MOST AREAS UP AROUND 70.

TOMORROW...DRIER AIR WILL CONTINUE TO FILTER SOUTH INTO THE REGION
WITH THE BOUNDARY MOVING FURTHER SOUTH. ALBERTO (COMFORTABLY TO OUR
EAST-SOUTHEAST) WILL BE BRINGING RAIN AND SOME WIND TO THE WESTERN
FL COASTLINE...BUT NARY A CLOUD IS ANTICIPATED FROM THIS SYSTEM IN
OUR CWA. FORTUNATELY...LOTS OF SUN TOMORROW SHOULD NOT YIELD TEMPS
QUITE AS HOT BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...AND SOME AREAS MAY NOT TOP 88
OR 89. WENT WITH LATEST MAV IN THIS REGARD. PLEASANT TREND IN TEMPS
WILL CONTINUE TOMORROW NIGHT WITH DRIER AIR AND DECENT RAD COOLING
CONDITIONS. THE ONLY IMPEDIMENT TO MAX COOLING MAY BE NORTHERLY
SURFACE WINDS THAT MAY HAVE A BIT OF A HARD TIME RELAXING ON THE FAR
WESTERN PERIPHERY OF ALBERTOS CIRCULATION. CUT MAV NUMBERS A FEW
DEGREES...BUT THEY MORE CUTTING MAY BE NEEDED IF CONFIDENCE IS HIGH
THAT WINDS WILL BE NIL. /BB/

.WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY...NORTHWEST FLOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE
AREA WEDNESDAY AS THE BOUNDARY WILL HAVE PUSHED WELL TO THE SOUTH OF
THE AREA. TROPICAL STORM ALBERTO SHOULD BE WELL OFF TO THE EAST OF
OUR AREA ALSO. AT THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE CENTERED OVER
THE OHIO VALLEY WITH A SURFACE RIDGE NOSING IN OVER THE REGION. THIS
PATTERN WILL HOLD THROUGH THURSDAY UNTIL UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BEGINS
TO BUILD IN OVER THE AREA ON FRIDAY AS THE PERSISTENT UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH OVER THE EAST BEGINS TO SHIFT EASTWARD. AFTER OUR VERY BRIEF
SLIGHT COOLDOWN IT LOOKS LIKE THE HEAT WILL RETURN THURSDAY AND
CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH 850MB TEMPERATURES WARMING TO NEAR
20C ON FRIDAY AND EVEN WARMER (21-22C) THROUGH THE WEEKEND. GUIDANCE
TEMPERATURES SEEM ON TRACK THROUGH THE PERIOD SO HAVE PRETTY MUCH
STUCK WITH THEM. WITH STRONG SUBSIDENCE AND VERY LITTLE MOISTURE
THROUGH FRIDAY...HAVE CUT GUIDANCE POPS TO ZERO MID WEEK AND
ADJUSTED LOWER THROUGH FRIDAY.

THE GFS INDICATES THAT THE MID LEVEL AND SURFACE RIDGE WILL SHIFT
EAST OF OUR AREA SATURDAY...AND THE NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN AT ALL OVER
OUR AREA LOOKS LIKE SATURDAY AS WE GET INTO A STRONGER SOUTHERLY
FLOW. THE GFS INDICATES DECENT LAPSE RATES (6.5 TO 7.0) AND
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES NEAR 1.8 OVER THE ENTIRE AREA TO NEAR 2.1
INCHES OVER OUR SOUTHWEST COUNTIES ON SATURDAY AND ONLY SLIGHTLY
LOWER PWS ON SUNDAY...BUT THE EURO AND THE UKMET ARE NOT QUITE AS
AGGRESSIVE WITH PUSHING THE RIDGE CENTER EAST OF OUR AREA OVER THE
WEEKEND WHICH WOULD KEEP US UNDER STRONG SUBSIDENCE AT LEAST THROUGH
SATURDAY. DUE TO THESE FACTORS HAVE DECIDED TO JUST STICK WITH
GUIDANCE THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS FAR AS POPS GO WHICH BRINGS ISOLATED
AFTERNOON STORMS ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY./15/

.AVIATION...
ALL VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. ONLY
EXCEPTION WILL BE AROUND ISOLATED EVENING SHOWERS AND STORMS...WHICH
WILL MAINLY ONLY THREATEN MEI...GTR...AND HBG. /BB/
