AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 855 AM CDT MON SEP 18 2006 .DISCUSSION...THE PREFRONTAL BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM A NATCHEZ TO JACKSON TO GRENADA LINE IS MAKING AN EARLY ENTRANCE INTO CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI THIS MORNING. HAVE UPDATED GRIDS AND ZONES TO RAISE POPS THIS MORNING AND REMOVE AFTERNOON WORDING. THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT IS STILL OVER CENTRAL ARKANSAS AND EASTERN TEXAS WITH LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWING A SFC LOW TRYING TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT IN SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS. THIS IS EXPECTED TO SLOW THE EASTWARD MOVEMENT OF THE COLD FRONT THROUGH OUR CWA TODAY. THE 12Z JAN SOUNDING HAD A PW OF 2.05 WHICH IS JUICY BUT SLIGHTLY DRIER THAN THE GFS PROGGED ALL WEEKEND. THE LOW AND MID LEVEL FLOW OFF THE JAN SOUNDING IS ALSO LIGHTER THAN PROGGED. STILL...WITH A MOIST AIRMASS IN PLACE AND AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT WITH UPPER JET SUPPORT HEAVY RAIN WILL SPREAD ACROSS OUR CWA TODAY. THERE WERE A FEW BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS NOTED ON SATELLITE IMAGERY IN OUR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES THAT WILL ALLOW FOR GREATER DESTABILIZATION THERE TODAY AND PERHAPS LEAD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A STRONG THUNDERSTORM OR TWO. && .JAN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS .DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT... ...THUNDERSTORMS... ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER EAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...GENERALLY EAST OF A LINE FROM FOREST TO MONTICELLO. THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER RISK WITH THESE STORMS WILL BE DAMAGING GUSTY WIND...POSSIBLY UP TO 60 MPH. STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER SECTIONS OF EAST CENTRAL LOUISIANA AND MUCH OF MISSISSIPPI THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING EAST OF A LINE FROM WINONA TO VICKSBURG TO JONESVILLE. THESE STORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY WINDS FROM 30 TO 40 MPH. A COLD FRONT WILL TRACK SLOWLY EASTWARD ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS TODAY. A HEALTHY UPPER JET WILL ALSO SHIFT INTO THE AREA TO PROVIDE SUPPORT ALOFT AND INCREASING WIND SHEAR TO AID IN THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. THE LIMITING FACTOR FOR SEVERE STORMS TODAY WILL BE THE FACT THAT THE AIR MASS WILL REMAIN SOMEWHAT STABLE DUE TO EXPANSIVE CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE REGION. THE AREAS THAT WILL DESTABILIZE THE MOST THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE EAST CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI ZONES BEFORE THE FRONT AND ASSOCIATED CLOUD COVER MOVE IN. THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE STORMS WILL BE GREATEST IN THESE AREAS BUT ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN ISOLATED AT BEST. THUNDERSTORMS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH FROM THE NORTHWEST THIS EVENING. STRONG THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE OVER AT MOST LOCATIONS BY 9 PM. ...FLOODING... A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE VERY SLOWLY ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS TODAY AND TONIGHT. THUNDERSTORMS WITH PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL WILL OCCUR OVER SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS...NORTHEAST LOUISIANA AND MUCH OF MISSISSIPPI TODAY.
