NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at May 10, 9:30 AM CST, 2 hours earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1030 AM CDT WED MAY 10 2006
.DISCUSSION...ACTIVE WX DAY ALREADY UNDERWAY WITH ONLY MORE ACTION
TO COME. THIS UPDATE IS MAINLY TO PASS ALONG THE LATEST THOUGHTS ON
THE EVOLUTION AND TO ADJ CURRENT FORECAST FOR LASTEST TRENDS ON
TEMPS AND INCREASE THE POPS.
EARLY MORNING CONVECTION PUSHED THROUGH WAY MORE THAN ANTICIPATED
YESTERDAY...ALTHOUGH NOT A TOTAL SURPRISE. THIS LAID A VERY NICE SFC
BOUNDARY FROM JUST S OF GLH TO JUST S OF MEI. THE SECOND ROUND OF
CONVECTION MOVED OUT OF AR EARLIER THIS MORNING AND IS NOW MOVING
ACROSS THE HWY 82 CORRIDOR. THIS FEATURE IS KEY AS IT IS JUST
REINFORCING THE SFC BOUNDARY. EXTREMELY UNSTABLE AIR EXIST TO THE
SOUTH WITH 3000-4000 MLCAPE POSSIBLE. THE MAIN ISSUE IN THE WARM
SECTOR IS CAPPING. MUCH STRONGER CAP EXISTS TO OUR WEST WITH THE CAP
STEADILY ERODING THE FURTHER E YOU GO AND THEN NO CAP N OF THE SFC
BOUNDARY. THE FORCING THAT IS MOVING IS SHOULD BE MORE THAN
SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO ERODE THE CAP E OF THE MS RIVER. AT THIS
TIME...ALONG AND N OF THE BOUNDARY...IT IS RATHER EASY FOR THE
STORMS TO DEVELOP AND WITH THE ELEVATED INSTABILITY MORE THAN
SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT SVR STORMS. DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF
INSTABILITY...SIG HAIL (GOLFBALL TO BASEBALL) AND SIG WINDS WILL ALL
BE POSSIBLE. A DAMAGING SIG SQUALL LINE IS WHAT IM MOST CONFIDENT
IN. HOWEVER. IF ANY STORMS CAN GET GOING JUST IN ADVANCE OF THE
STRONG FORCING AND TRACK E AND SE NEAR THE SFC BOUNDARY...TORNADOES
WILL BE POSSIBLE. WITH THAT...CONDITIONS WILL SUPPORT THE
POSSIBILITY OF STRONG TORNADOES AS WELL. EVEN IF WE DONT GET
ISOLATED CELLS AHEAD OF THE LINE...THE SQUALL LINE WILL BE NASTY
ENOUGH TO SUPPORT A FEW TORNADOES.
AT THIS TIME...TIMING ON THE SYSTEM LOOKS TO BE NOON TO 2 PM ACROSS
THE NW AND W-CENTRAL...1-3 PM FOR TRACE AND WEST...3-7 PM EASTERN
SECTIONS. WITH THAT TIMING...IM EXPECTING THE WORST STORMS TO BE
LOCATED ROUGHLY 40-50 MILES EITHER SIDE OF THE SFC BOUNDARY. THIS
WOULD GENERALLY BE JUST S AND THEN N OF I-20 AND ALONG AND S OF HWY
82. I WILL UPDATE THE HWO TO SUPPORT THIS EVOLUTION.

NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS .DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT... ...THUNDERSTORMS... SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR THE REST OF THIS AFTERNOON...MAINLY NORTH OF A WINNSBORO TO CRYSTAL SPRINGS TO LAUREL LINE. AREAS ACROSS THE SOUTH WILL SEE ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS. A COMPLEX OF STRONG AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MOVED ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE REGION EARLY THIS MORNING AND HAS PLACED A SURFACE BOUNDARY ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI. THIS BOUNDARY WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR MORE STORMS FOR THE REST OF TODAY. VERY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS ARE DEVELOPING OVER THE REGION AND STORMS WILL RAPIDLY BECOME SEVERE AS THE UPPER DISTURBANCE NEARS AND THE COLD FRONT APPROACHES. AT THIS TIME...MAINLY DUE TO THE MORNING OUTFLOW AND STORMS...AREAS ALONG THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR WILL SEE THE RISK FOR LARGE HAIL AND WINDS GUSTS BETWEEN 40 AND 60 MPH. ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE SURFACE BOUNDARY...THE RISK FOR SIGNIFICANT SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. THESE STORMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP BETWEEN 1 AND 3 PM JUST WEST OF THE RIVER AND MOVE EAST ALONG THE SURFACE BOUNDARY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THESE STORMS WILL MAINLY ORGANIZE INTO AN INTENSE SQUALL LINE...WITH A FEW ISOLATED SUPERCELLS IN ADVANCE OF THE LINE. ANY STORM WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE GOLF BALL TO BASEBALL SIZE HAIL AND DESTRUCTIVE WINDS TO 70 OR 80 MPH. ANY SUPERCELL NEAR THE SURFACE BOUNDARY WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING TORNADOES...SOME OF WHICH COULD BE STRONG. EVERYONE IS URGED TO CLOSELY MONITOR THE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON AS THE RISK FOR A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT IS POSSIBLE. ...FLOODING... OVERNIGHT AND MORNING RAINS OF ONE TO THREE INCHES FELL ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 82 SETTING THE STAGE FOR POSSIBLE FLOODING FROM ADDITIONAL STORMS TODAY.
