Area forecast discussion, May 28, 10:00 AM CST, 3 hours 45 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 1100 AM CDT SUN MAY 28 2006 .DISCUSSION...HAVE ISSUED AN UPDATE TO TWEAK A FEW ELEMENTS OF THE FORECAST. THE MAIN ITEM WAS HOURLY TEMPS...THE AREA HAS WARMED QUICKER THAN ANTICIPATED AND I HAVE ADJ GRIDS TO REFLECT THAT TREND. EVEN WITH THE QUICK WARM UP...I THINK THE FORECAST HIGHS ARE RIGHT ON. TEMPS HERE HAVE SLOWED SUBSTANTIALLY AND WITH DEEPER MOISTURE MOVING IN...OR ALREADY IN PLACE TO OUR WEST...WILL KEEP TEMPS FROM GETTING TOO HIGH. THE MAIN REASON WILL BE THAT CONVECTION WILL BREAK OUT WITH TEMPS IN THE MID/UPPER 80S AND THAT INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND PRECIP WILL STOP MAX TEMPS FROM GETTING TOO WARM. AS FOR THE CONVECTION...MORNING SOUNDINGS SHOWED MUCH DEEPER MOISTURE AROUND WITH NO LIMITING CAPPING INVERSION. THINGS SHOULD FIRE SHORTLY AND JUST INCREASE IN COVERAGE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SEABREEZE FRONT WILL AGAIN BE THE MAIN PLAYER AND STEADILY PUSH NORTHWARD. THE DIFFERENCE TODAY IS THAT MORE OF THE REGION IS ALREADY MOIST AND FAVORABLE FOR CONVECTION. THE UPPER JET IS QUITE FAVORABLE AS WELL WITH A LEFT FRONT QUAD OF THE SUBTROPICAL JET MOVING OUT OF SE TX. AFTER IN DEPTH ANALYSIS OF THE MORNING SOUNDINGS...IM GETTING AN UNEASY FEELING ABOUT STRENGTH OF CONVECTION. TEMPS AT 300MB ARE QUITE COOL (-35C) AND WITH MODIFIED AREA SOUNDINGS FOR 87-89 DEGREES WITH AROUND 70 SFC DEWPT...INSTABILITY WILL BE BETWEEN 3000-3600 SBCAPE AND (-7 TO -8) LI. DUE TO THE COLD 300MB TEMPS...THE CAPE PROFILE IS SOMEWHAT FAT ABOVE 500MB. THIS SUGGESTS DEEP CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL AND QUITE ROBUST UPDRAFTS. DUE TO THIS...SMALL PENNY TO NICKEL SIZED HAIL LOOKS TO BE POSSIBLE ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS. THE MAIN AREA FOR THIS ISOLATED SEVERE ACTIVITY WILL BE FROM AROUND NATCHEZ TO VICKSBURG TO GREENVILLE AND POINTS WEST. THE REST OF THE CWA...EAST AND NE...WILL HAVE A MUCH HARDER TIME SUPPORTING CONVECTION AS THE BEST LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE AND THETA E ADV WILL BE W AND SW. WITH ALL THIS...WILL MODIFY THE HWO AGAIN TO INCLUDE THE ISO SVR AREA. && .AVIATION...NOTHING TOO MAJOR THIS AFTERNOON AS THE MAIN ISSUE WILL BE TIMING THE SCT CONVECTION FROM GLH...GWO...JAN AND HBG. THE EVENING WILL BE QUIET WITH DEBRIS CLOUDS DISSIPATING AND IM EXPECTING MOSTLY VFR CONDITIONS. AROUND SUNRISE WE WILL LIKELY SEE MORE MVFR VIS RESTRICTIONS FOR A FEW HRS. EXPECT BKN CEILINGS DURING THE MORNING WITH CONVECTION DEVELOPING BEFORE 18Z AT A FEW LOCATIONS. && .JAN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MS...NONE. LA...NONE. AR...NONE. && CME
