AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
340 PM CST THU MAR 9 2006
.DISCUSSION...SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY.
LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWED A NEGATIVE TILTED TROUGH MOVING
THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WITH A SERIES OF TORNADO WATCH BOXES IN
EFFECT AHEAD OF IT. AREA RADARS WERE PICKING UP THE SQUALL LINE
MOVING THROUGH MISSISSIPPI. FROM NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST
MISSISSIPPI THROUGH EAST LOUISIANA. HAD SOME SUPERCELLS THAT
DEVELOPED AHEAD OF THE LINE. VISIBLE IMAGERY SHOWED THE CLEARING
LINE MOVING TOWARD THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
FOR TONIGHT...EXPECT THE LINE OF STORMS TO EXIT THE EASTERN COUNTIES
BY EARLY THIS EVENING AS THE NEGATIVELY TILTED UPPER TROUGH MOVES INTO
THE OHIO VALLEY. AFTER THE LINE EXITS THE SHOWERS AND A FEW
THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE EAST OF THE REGION BY MIDNIGHT. SOUTHERLY FLOW
WILL CONTINUE IN THE LOW LEVELS. AS WE STAY IN SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.
CLOUDS WILL QUICKLY DECREASE FROM THE WEST DURING THE NIGHT. WILL
LET THE WIND ADVISORY EXPIRE AT 8 PM AS WINDS SHOULD TAPER OFF BY
MID EVENING. AS FAR AS LOWS ARE CONCERN WILL 850 MB TEMPS WILL BE
10-13C...WHICH DERIVES FROM 48 TO 57...WHICH RUNS CLOSE TO ADJMAV
TEMPS. THOSE NUMBERS LOOK GOOD FOR TONIGHT.
FOR FRIDAY...WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE IN LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW WITH
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. WE WILL SEE SOME INSTABILITY DEVELOPING DURING
THE AFTERNOON AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVES IN THE REGION.
LAPSE RATES WILL BE AROUND 6-7C...PRECIPITABLE WATER WILL INCREASE
FROM THE SOUTH UP TO 1.30 INCHES...CAPES AROUND 2000...LIFTED INDEXES
-2 TO -4. CLOUDS WILL INCREASE FROM THE SOUTH DURING THE AFTERNOON.
SO WILL KEEP LOW MAV CONVECTIVE POPS IN THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST.
925 TEMPS WILL BE RATHER WARM WITH READINGS OF 18 TO 20C. THIS
DERIVES TEMPS IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER TO MID 80S. WILL GO WITH MAV
GUIDANCE OF MIDDLE 70S TO LOWER 80S WHEN WE EQUATE CLOUDS INCREASING
FROM THE SOUTH.
LONGER TERM (FRIDAY NIGHT THRU NEXT THURSDAY)...
WITH A DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AXIS REMAINING ANCHORED OVER THE
SOUTHWEST CONUS THIS WEEKEND...DISTURBED SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT
WILL REMAIN OVER OUR REGION INTO THE FIRST PART OF NEXT WEEK. THE
AXIS OF INSTABILITY THAT WILL BE SHOVED DOWN TOWARD THE COAST
TONIGHT WILL GRADUALLY EDGE BACK TO THE NORTH TOMORROW AS SOUTHERLY
LOW LEVEL FLOW STRENGTHENS IN ADVANCE OF MORE MID LEVEL ENERGY
GATHERING UPSTREAM OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THE ARRIVAL OF
NEGATIVE LI AND SHOWALTER INDICES OVER MY CWA FRIDAY NIGHT WILL BE
COINCIDENT WITH A MINOR SHORTWAVE THAT WILL PROVIDE AT LEAST A BIT
OF LIFT ALOFT IN THE ATMOSPHERE. MODERATE DEEP ATMOSPHERIC SHEAR
(0-6 KM SHEAR >=35 KTS) WILL ALSO REMAIN OVERHEAD FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY AND THIS...ALONG WITH THE INSTABILITY...PRESENTS A NON-ZERO
RISK OF SEVERE CONVECTION. FORTUNATELY...MECHANISMS FOR CONVECTIVE
INITIATION ARE NOT ABUNDANT DURING THIS TIME PERIOD SO THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT SHOULD BE HARD TO ACCOMPLISH (OR REMAIN GENERALLY
ISOLATED). GENERALLY STUCK NEAR CONSERVATIVE MAV/MEX POPS WHILE
HIGHLIGHTING THE SLIGHT RISKS FOR SEVERE CONVECTION IN THE HWO.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WARM AND I GENERALLY FOLLOWED MAV/MEX
GUIDANCE WHICH PLACED HIGHS MAINLY FROM 80 TO 85 WITH LOWS GENERALLY
FROM 60 TO 65.
LOOKS LIKE A FINAL PIECE OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY ROTATING THROUGH THE
BASE OF THE UPPER TROUGH IN THE SOUTHWEST CONUS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO
KICK THE WHOLE FEATURE OUT OF ITS RESTING SPOT EARLY NEXT WEEK.
THIS PATTERN SHIFT WILL EVENTUAL LEAD TO MORE SEASONAL (AND LESS
STORMY) WX FOR THE REGION BY MID-WEEK. BUT...UNTIL THEN...THE NEWLY
INSPIRED TROUGH WILL COMBINE WITH A SURFACE FRONT TO BRING
INGREDIENTS FOR ACTIVE WEATHER BACK OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY MONDAY. AT THIS POINT...THE SOLUTIONS FROM THE MOST
CONSISTENTLY-RELIABLE OPERATIONAL MODELS SUGGEST THAT ENOUGH SHEAR
AND INSTABILITY WILL BE PRESENT TO WARRANT DISCUSSION OF AT LEAST A
SLIGHT THREAT OF SEVERE STORMS. ALTHOUGH A MAJOR SEVERE WEATHER
OUTBREAK DOES NOT LOOK ON TAP AT THIS POINT...WE WILL DISCUSS IN OUR
HWO. /BB/

.AVIATION...MVFR CEILINGS WILL BECOME SCATTERED FROM THE NORTHWEST
THIS EVENING AS DRYER AIR PUNCHES INTO THE REGION. THE CLEARING LINE
WAS NOTED FROM SOUTHERN ARKANSAS TO LOUISIANA. THIS WILL PUSH
THROUGH THIS EVENING. WINDS WILL TAPER OFF FROM THE WEST BY MID
EVENING. VFR CONDITIONS WILL BE PREVALENT FROM MID EVENING THROUGH
