AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1057 AM CDT WED JUN 27 2007

.DISCUSSION...FORECAST LOOKS TO BE ON TRACK. THE COOL POCKET NOTED
IN THE TROP IS OVER THE SERN HALF OF THE CWA AND THIS SHOULD HELP
SHRA AND TSRA TO GET GOING PRETTY SOON. CU IS STILL TO BUILD OVER
THE ERN HALF OF THE CWA AND IT APPEARS THAT OUR FIRST SHRA ARE NOW
DEVELOPING OVER COVINGTON COUNTY. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD INCREASE
THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY. THE GRIDS CURRENTLY SHOW THIS WITH SHRA
TILL ONE OVER THE ERN HALF OF THE CWA AND SWITCHING OVER THE SHRA
AND TSRA AFTER THAT OVER THE ENTIRE AREA. IT DOES APPEAR THAT THE
LOCATIONS WITH THE GREATEST CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL BE EAST OF I 55.
ALSO THE AREAS WEST OF I 55 WILL LIKELY SEE CONVECTION HOLD OFF
UNTIL MID TO LATE AFTERNOON WITH THE SW LIKELY BEING THE LATEST TO
SEE ANY CONVECTION. STRONG TO SEVERE DOES NOT SEEM VERY LIKELY BUT
THE MICROBURST CHECKLIST IS SHOWING A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR DOWNBURST IN
THE SE. THE BIGGEST CONCERN WILL BE TORRENTIAL RAIN AS THESE STORMS
WILL BE SLOW MOVING AND CAPABLE OF DROPPING AN INCH OR TWO IN A VERY
SHORT TIME. WILL UPDATE ZONES FOR MORNING WORDING.

&&

.AVIATION...MAIN AVIATION CONCERN TODAY WILL BE CONVECTION. CEILINGS
WILL STILL LIKELY REMAIN IN VFR STATUS BUT TEMPO MVFR RIGHT AROUND
3K FT MAY OCCUR...NOT TOO CONFIDENT ABOUT THAT THOUGH. THE MAIN
PROBLEM WILL BE VISBIES WITH ANY TSRA. IFR TO LIFR STATUS WILL BE
POSSIBLE AT SITES WHERE TSRA MOVE OVER. WITH AN ABUNDANT AMOUNT OF
MOISTURE AVAILABLE THESE STORMS WILL DROP TORRENTIAL AMOUNTS OF RAIN
WHICH WILL CAUSE VISBIES TO DROP TO OR BELOW 1SM EASILY. SHRA AND
TSRA WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM 17/18Z THROUGH 02Z. THIS CONVECTION WILL
START OVER CNTRL AND ERN MS AND EXPAND WWRD. IF CONVECTION FIRES TOO
EARLY THEN SITES MEI/GTR/HBG/JAN COULD SEE SHRA AND TSRA OVER WITH
BEFORE 00Z.
