NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Aug 25, 4:50 PM CST, 24 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 550 PM CDT SAT AUG 25 2007 .DISCUSSION... DID A QUICK UPDATE TO TONIGHTS FORECAST BASED ON LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE AND CURRENT RADAR TRENDS. CONVECTION IS PRETTY MUCH GONE THROUGH A MAJORITY OF THE FORECAST AREA WHERE EARLIER ACTIVITY HAVE PRETTY MUCH USED UP AVAILABLE INSTABILITY. HOWEVER...BOUNDARY SINKING SOUTHEAST INTO THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE CWA IS BRINGING SOME STORMS INTO SOUTHEAST AR AND NORTHWEST MS COUNTIES. ALSO...NUMEROUS STORMS IN WEST AL ARE TRYING TO BACK-BUILD WEST INTO EASTERN MISSISSIPPI RIGHT NOW. MODELS SUGGESTS THAT THE BACKBUILDING TREND INTO EASTERN MS COULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT AS A WEAK LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AXIS SETS UP. IN THE NORTHWEST...CONVECTION ALONG THE MENTIONED FRONT SHOULD TREND TOWARDS DISSIPATING IN THE EARLY EVENING HOURS. WILL DO A MORE COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE A LITTLE LATER. /BB/ && .PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT). LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE TUTT CIRCULATION ROTATING OVER THE NORTHERN GULF NEARING SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. MEANWHILE AN UPPER TROUGH WAS MOVING THROUGH THE MID TO UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS WAS ASSOCIATED WITH AN APPROACHING FRONT...WHICH WILL AFFECT THE REGION FOR SUNDAY. AREA RADARS SHOWS SOME CONVECTION ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS. VISIBLE IMAGERY SHOWS A GOOD CLOUD LAYER FROM THE ANVIL CANOPY. FOR TONIGHT...EXPECT THE CONVECTION THROUGH MOST OF THE EVENING WITH SOME SHOWERS LINGERING AFTER MIDNIGHT. A FEW OF THE STORMS COULD STILL BE STRONG TO SEVERE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING WITH SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING POSSIBLE. THIS WILL BE DUE TO THE TUTT LOW CONTINUING TO PUSH GULF MOISTURE INTO THE REGION. WILL PUT THE BEST SCATTERED POPS ACROSS AREAS EAST OF THE DELTA REGION. WENT CLOSE TO GUIDANCE OF OVERNIGHT LOWS WITH NUMBERS IN THE LOWER 70S. FOR SUNDAY...THE UPPER TROUGH WILL PUSH A WEAK FRONT EARLY INTO THE NORTHERN COUNTIES. THIS WILL HELP WITH SOME ADDED LIFT. TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL STILL BE PLENTIFUL WITH 2 PLUS INCHES OF PRECIPITABLE WATER. COULD STILL GET SOME ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE DURING THE DAY SUNDAY WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS. WILL PUT LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE SOUTH DURING THE AFTERNOON AND ISOLATED POPS ACROSS THE FAR NORTHWEST. TEMP WISE EXPECT ANOTHER ANVIL CANOPY TO SLOW DOWN HIGHS. SO CUT TEMPS AROUND 1 TO 2 CATEGORIES ACROSS AREAS EAST OF THE DELTA REGION. SO WILL HAVE NUMBERS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 80S EAST TO THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 90S WEST. FOR SUNDAY NIGHT...THE TUTT LOW WILL HAVE MOVED FAR ENOUGH WEST TO BE AWAY FROM INFLUENCING OUR WEATHER AT THIS TIME. THIS WILL ALLOW THE SHOWERS TO END DURING THE EVENING HOURS. THE WEAK FRONT WILL BECOME STATIONARY ACROSS THE NORTH BY SUNDAY EVENING. WENT CLOSE TO MAV GUIDANCE ON POPS AND TEMPS. ON POPS WE WILL GO WITH ISOLATED POPS IN THE NORTH TO LOW SCATTERED POPS ACROSS THE SOUTH. LOWS WILL ONCE AGAIN BE IN THE LOWER 70S./17/ LONGER TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY).DEEP MOISTURE WILL LIFT INTO THE LOWER MS RIVER VALLEY IN THE LONGER TERM WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WELL ABOVE 2 INCHES FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD. A GULF TROUGH WILL PIVOT ALONG THE SRN FRINGES OF THE UPPER RIDGE EARLY IN THE WORK WEEK WHILE A BROAD DIFFUSE TROUGH WORKS ITS WAY IN FROM THE NW LATER IN THE WEEK. MODELS DISAGREE ON TIMING AND PROGRESSION OF THE SURFACE TROUGH INTO THE REGION NEXT WEEK BUT RAIN CHANCES WILL INCREASE LATER ON THE WEEK AS THE BOUNDARY STALLS. LOW LEVEL TROUGHING PERSISTS OVER SRN ZONES INTO THE WEEKEND TO MAINTAIN RAIN CHANCES ACROSS THE REGION. INCREASED SKY COVER BUT NO CHANGES MADE TO POPS FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD. ALSO MAINTAINED EARLIER FORECAST TEMPERATURES. TREND OF WARMER READINGS EARLY IN THE WEEK AND COOLER TEMPS LATE IN WEEK LOOKS REASONABLE AS HIGH PRESSURE GIVES WAY TO UPPER RIDGING. TEMPERATURE ANOMALIES SLIGHTLY ON THE WARM SIDE MON INTO MID WEEK WITH SLIGHTLY COOL ANOMALIES NOTED FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND. PREV DISCUSSION ATTACHED: A BIT OF A PATTERN CHANGE CAN BE EXPECTED OVER THE ARKLAMISS REGION FOR THE LONG TERM. WE SEE THE REMNANTS OF THE FRONT STALLED OVER PORTIONS OF THE CWFA FOR MONDAY. THIS FEATURE IS EXPECTED TO WAVER NORTH A BIT OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE CWFA THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK BEFORE WASHING OUT. THE AREA WILL HAVE PLENTY OF MOISTURE WITH PWATS AROUND 2.0 INCHES OVER AT LEAST THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWFA THROUGH THE WORK WEEK. THIS COMBINED WITH MLCAPES AVERAGING 1200-1500 J/KG EACH DAY SHOULD ALLOW ISOLATED TO SCATTERED AFTERNOON CONVECTION EACH DAY THIS WEEK...ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTH. PRETTY MUCH REMAINED WITH GUI FOR POPS THROUGH THE WORK WEEK WITH NO MAJOR DISAGREEMENTS. BY THE END OF THE WORK WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND WE BEGIN TO SEE A FRONT APPROACHING THE CWFA FROM THE NORTH. MODELS ARE COMING IN SLOWER WITH THIS FRONT...PLACING IT OVER THE PLAINS STATES DURING THE DAY FRIDAY...AND MOVING CLOSER TO THE AREA BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR MOISTURE TO POOL AHEAD OF THE FRONT FOR THE WEEKEND GIVING PWATS BETWEEN 2.0-2.2 INCHES FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. SO FRI THROUGH SUN SHOULD GIVE OUR BEST SHOT AT SOME MUCH NEEDED RAIN IN THE LONG TERM. TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE LONG TERM WILL BE COOLER THAN WHAT WE HAVE BEEN SEEING AS THERE WILL BE MORE IN THE WAY OF MOISTURE AND CLOUD COVER EACH DAY...ESPECIALLY BY NEXT WEEKEND. HOWEVER WE WILL STILL SEE TEMPERATURES ABOVE CLIMATOLOGY AT LEAST THROUGH THE WORK WEEK AS HIGHS WILL GET TO AT LEAST THE MIDDLE 90S MOST DAYS AND LOWS IN THE LOWER 70S. REMAINED RELATIVELY CLOSE TO GUI THROUGH MUCH OF THE LONG TERM FOR LOWS. I DID BUMP UP HIGH TEMPS IN A FEW LOCATIONS FOR MOST OF THE PERIODS...WHICH IS SUPPORTED BY 925MB TEMPS AVERAGING 24-26C AND 850MB TEMPS AROUND 18-20C THROUGH THE WORK WEEK AS WELL AS ENSEMBLE GUI. && .AVIATION... && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS AND MUCH OF MISSISSIPPI. .DAY ONE...TONIGHT AND SUNDAY ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND AGAIN DURING THE DAY SUNDAY. THEY WILL BE MOST NUMEROUS EAST OF INTERSTATE 55 DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING EACH DAY. THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER RISK WITH THESE STORMS WILL BE DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS UP TO 60 MPH. PERIODS OF TORRENTIAL RAINFALL WILL ALSO OCCUR AND MAY PRODUCE FLOODING NEAR STRONGER STORMS. FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING STRIKES AND SMALL HAIL WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THUNDERSTORMS. THE EFFECTS OF DEEP MOISTURE AND AN UNSTABLE AIR MASS WILL COMBINE TO PRODUCE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE ARKLAMISS TODAY AND SUNDAY. WIND FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH A GULF LOW TO THE SOUTH AND AN APPROACHING LOW FROM THE WEST WILL PROVIDE ADDED SUPPORT FOR STRONG THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY THE PROBABILITY FOR WIDESPREAD HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS LOW. .SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT... THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...HAM RADIO OPERATORS...AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL IN SUPPORT OF SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS...SHOULD NOT BE NEEDED THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY.
