AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 330 PM CST SAT MAR 11 2006 .SHORT TERM...NEXT 24 HOURS TO BE RELATIVELY QUIET...AT LEAST IN COMPARISON TO A MORE ACTIVE PERIOD SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. ATMOSPHERE ACROSS THE REGION IS QUITE MOIST AND UNSTABLE THIS AFTERNOON...WITH SOUTHERN AND WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE AREA HAVING MLCAPE VALUES OF 1500 TO 2500 J/KG. LOOKS TO BE A BIT OF A FORCING MECHANISM IN THE FORM OF A SUBTROPICAL JET STREAK ALONG NORTHWEST GULF COAST...WITH OUR AREA IN LEFT EXIT REGION. IN SPITE OF ALL OF THIS...COVERAGE OF CONVECTION HAS REMAINED ISOLATED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS...POSSIBLY DUE TO A LITTLE WARMING AROUND 700 MB AS SHOWN BY THE RUC. WILL KEEP ISOLATED CONVECTION IN THE FORECAST FOR TONIGHT...AND THERE IS STILL THE SMALL POTENTIAL FOR A STRONG OR SEVERE STORM THIS EVENING MAINLY IN THE SW SECTIONS WHERE BEST INSTABILITY AND FLOW EXISTS. A VERY ACTIVE OVERNIGHT IS EXPECTED TO THE NW OF US WHERE SPC HAS MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE FORECAST. STILL EXPECT THAT MOST OF THIS WILL SLIDE N AND NW OF FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT...BUT KEPT A LITTLE HIGHER POPS AND MENTION OF ISOLATED SVR IN HWO FOR UPPER DELTA BASED ON PROXIMITY OF BETTER FORCING AND INSTABILITY. SUNDAY OVERALL LOOKS EVEN LESS ACTIVE THAN TODAY. MODELS GENERALLY AGREE ON RELATIVELY STRONG NEGATIVE 850 MB THETA-E ADVECTION OVER MOST AREAS AS BEST MOISTURE ADVECTION FOCUSES TO OUR WEST AHEAD OF NEXT SYSTEM. COULD STILL BE SOME ISOLATED DIURNAL CONVECTION IN CONTINUED MOIST AND UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE...BUT WILL GENERALLY KEEP POPS IN THE 20 PCT RANGE. WINDS COULD BE A BIT OF A PROBLEM AGAIN SUNDAY...AS GFS SHOWS 30-35 KT 925/850 MB FLOW AND GOOD MIXING. WILL PROBABLY BE LOOKING AT A LOW END LAKE WIND ADVISORY AGAIN SUNDAY...BUT WILL HOLD OFF ON LOCKING LATER SHIFTS INTO THIS DECISION YET AND JUST MENTION IN HWO FOR NOW. AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES...CONTINUED WELL ABOVE NORMAL. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN IN THE 60S TONIGHT WITH DECENT SOUTHERLY FLOW AND HIGH DEWPOINTS. MODEL SOUNDINGS IMPLY A LITTLE MORE HIGH CLOUDINESS ON SUNDAY WHICH MAY KEEP TEMPERATURES FROM GETTING AS OUT OF CONTROL AS TODAY...BUT SHOULD STILL SEE 80 TO 85 AREAWIDE. WENT NEAR OR A BIT ABOVE MAV GUIDANCE THROUGH THE PERIOD. /AEG/ && SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...THE PRIMARY SHORTWAVE TROUGH AXIS WILL APPROACH LATE SUNDAY WITH A SIGNIFICANT SURFACE LOW DEVELOPING IN ASSOC WITH LARGEST HEIGHT FALLS OVER THE CNTRL PLAINS/MID MS VALLEY REGION. A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER THE FORECAST AREA AHEAD OF A STRENGTHENING EASTWARD MOVING COLD FRONT THAT WILL TAIL SSW FROM THE SURFACE LOW. ALTHOUGH THE STRONGEST UPWARD FORCING WILL PUSH NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA...SUFFICIENT WIND FIELDS COMBINED WITH IMPRESSIVE THERMODYNAMIC FIELDS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO SUPPORT SEVERE WEATHER GIVEN TSTM DEVELOPMENT...BEGINNING LATE SUNDAY EVENING IN NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE AREA AND CONTINUING OVER THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA MONDAY...AND THEN INTO EAST CENTRAL/SE MS MONDAY EVENING. THERE IS CONSIDERABLE CONCERN FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS OVER EXTREME SE AR AND NORTHWEST MS LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AS AN IMPRESSIVE SPLIT UPPER JET STRUCTURE IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP ABOVE NOSE OF 336K 850MB THETAE RIDGE. 50KT SOUTHWEST 850MB WINDS ARE FORECAST TO OVERLAY 15KT SOUTH WINDS AND RICH BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE WILL CREATE A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR TORNADO DEVELOPMENT AND HAVE MENTIONED THE POSSIBILITY OF SUPERCELL TSTMS/TORNADOES IN THE HWO. AS THE FRONT PUSHES SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...A NEW SURGE OF ENERGY/MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE IN MONDAY AFTERNOON WITH PRECIP WATER VALUES EXCEEDING 1.5 INCHES DURING AFTN PEAK HEATING OVER EC/SE MS. AM SOMEWHAT CONCERNED WITH HOW THE TIMING OF PEAK HEATING COULD ENHANCE SEVERE WEATHER RISK LATE MONDAY...ESPECIALLY IF LIMITED FORCING RESULTS IN CELLULAR NATURE OF STORMS. AS MENTIONED...WIND FIELDS WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR SEVERE WEATHER...WITH SUPERCELLS STILL A POSSIBILITY. TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...COOL HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION BEHIND THE FRONT. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF SOME FROST OCCURS TUESDAY NIGHT IN NE/EC MS. WED NIGHT THRU THURS NIGHT...CONFIDENCE IS LOW WITH TIMING AND STRENGTH OF THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM TO MOVE ACROSS LOWER MS VALLEY REGION. 12Z GUIDANCE CAME IN MUCH WETTER AND A BIT SLOWER WITH THIS SYSTEM. THE GFS/UKMET/ECMWF ALL SHOW A SIGNIFICANT SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH...WITH THE GFS PERHAPS THE STRONGEST. WENT AHEAD AND UPPED POPS AND SLOWED TIMING IN THE GRIDS. /EC/ && .JAN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MS...LAKE WIND ADVISORY UNTIL 6 PM TODAY. LA...LAKE WIND ADVISORY UNTIL 6 PM TODAY. AR...LAKE WIND ADVISORY UNTIL 6 PM TODAY. && AEG/EC
