NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 31, 2:50 PM CST, 1 hour 45 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 350 PM CDT THU JUL 31 2008 .SHORT TERM...THE GENERAL OUTLOOK FOR THE WEATHER PATTERN IN THE SHORT TERM HAS NOT CHANGED MUCH. UPPER TROUGHING WILL BE POSITIONED OVER THE REGION THROUGH TOMORROW BEFORE UPPER RIDGING IS AMPLIFIED JUST UPSTREAM OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS WEEKEND. THIS WILL RESULT IN ANOTHER DAY OF HEALTHY RAIN CHANCES FOR FRIDAY WITH DECREASING POPS THIS WEEKEND AND WARMER DAYTIME TEMPERATURES. A SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION TONIGHT AND DROP SWD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH TOMORROW. THE WAVE WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH A BAND OF DEEPER MID LEVEL MOISTURE WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WELL ABOVE 2 INCHES AHEAD OF THE WAVE. PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL WILL OCCUR WITH STRONGER STORMS AND LOCAL FLOODING CONCERNS WILL CONTINUE. GENERALLY FOLLOWED THE PREVIOUS FORECAST REGARDING TEMPERATURES AND RAIN CHANCES. MOS POPS OVERNIGHT MAINTAINED LIKELY POPS FOR MANY AREAS TONIGHT. THERE WILL BE AT LEAST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF OVERNIGHT CONVECTION IN THE TROPICAL LIKE AIR MASS OVER THE REGION...ESPECIALLY WITH THE NEXT DISTURBANCE APPROACHING THE AREA TONIGHT...BUT WIDESPREAD RAIN COVERAGE LOOKS A LITTLE OVERDONE AT THIS TIME. 850 MB RIDGING DEVELOPS FROM THE WEST STARTING FRIDAY NIGHT. A MORE NWLY DEVELOPMENT IS SUGGESTED FOR THE UPPER RIDGE WHICH MAINTAINS WEAK TROUGHING JUST TO OUR SOUTH. WILL BEGIN TO SEE SLIGHT INCREASES IN MID LEVEL FLOW AS WE SIT UNDER THE ERN FRINGES OF HIGH PRESSURE. AN UPPER WAVE WILL SLIP SWD EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA SATURDAY BUT THE WEAK WRN PORTION OF THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE TROUGH WILL MOVE OVER THE ARKLAMISS. MOISTURE IS FORECAST TO BE LIGHT WITH THIS FEATURE AS UPPER RIDGING INTENSIFIES TO OUR WEST AND MOS POPS ARE DRY. WILL FOLLOW PREVIOUS FORECAST POP NUMBERS FOR SATURDAY. ALTHOUGH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE LOWER THEY REMAIN ABOVE 1.5 INCHES. WITH WARMER AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR AROUND 20 KTS WILL KEEP LOW END CHANCE POPS IN FOR NOW. ALSO UNDERCUT MOS HIGHS FOR SATURDAY WHICH PAINT WIDESPREAD 100S OVER THE AREA. UPPER RIDGING WILL BE IN ITS INITIAL STAGES AND RESIDUAL SOIL MOISTURE WILL HELP HAMPER HEATING A DEGREE OR TWO. IN ADDITION...MODEL CONFIDENCE NUMBERS HAVE COME IN UNUSUALLY LOW FOR HIGHS FOR SATURDAY. ONCE AGAIN PREVIOUS FORECAST NUMBERS LOOK MORE REASONABLE RIGHT NOW. /03/ .LONG TERM...OUR PRIMARY SOURCE OF GUIDANCE (THE GFS MODEL) HAS BEEN DISAPPOINTING FOR ANOTHER DAY. CONSENSUS OF OTHER MODELS (AND ITS OWN ENSEMBLE MEMBERS) STRONGLY SUGGESTS THE 00Z GFS HAS WAY TOO MUCH ENERGY DIVING SOUTH INTO AN EASTERN CONUS TROUGH LATE THIS WEEK. SOME OF THIS ENERGY THEN CUTS OFF AND RETROGRADES WESTWARD UNDERNEATH THE EXPANSION OF A VAST HEAT RIDGE EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. AN EVOLUTION OF EVENTS IN THIS FASHION WOULD DEFINITELY TAKE THE EDGE OFF THE NEXT ROUND OF HEAT...AND COULD EVEN KEEP MOST OF THE TRUE HEAT TO OUR NORTH. HOWEVER...THE STRONG POSSIBILITY THAT THE GFS HAS DEPICTED THE UNDERCUTTING UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE TOO STRONGLY MAKES THE COOLER 00Z MEX NUMBERS SEEM VERY DUBIOUS. YESTERDAYS EUROPEAN RUN ALSO SHOWED A SEMBLANCE (ALTHOUGH WEAKER) OF THE CURRENT GFS EVOLUTION...BUT THE LATEST EUROPEAN RUN HAS FAILED TO ARRIVE IN TIME TO BE OF HELP IN THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS. HOW MUCH ENERGY INITIALLY DIVES DOWN THE EASTERN TROUGH WILL BE CRUCIAL TO SATURDAYS FORECAST. SOME GFS SOLUTIONS SUGGEST A GLANCING BLOW FROM A NORTHERLY WAVE WITH SOLID CONVERGENCE ALONG A LOW LEVEL BOUNDARY COMING IN FROM THE NORTH. PLENTY OF JUICE WOULD EXIST IN THE LOW LEVELS WITH WARMING ALOFT REALLY HEATING THINGS AT THE SURFACE WHILE UPPER LEVEL TEMPS COOL A BIT. THE OCCURRENCE OF THE LATTER WOULD CREATE HIGH INSTABILITY WITH THE BOUNDARY BEING THE FOCUS FOR POTENT (POSSIBLE SEVERE) CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. BUT CHANCES ARE ALMOST ALL THE TROUGH ENERGY WILL BE SHUNTED EAST OF HERE WITH ANY BOUNDARY REALLY LOSING STEAM QUICKLY AS IT TRIES TO WORK INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTH. THIS WOULD LIMIT POTENT CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL AND THEREFORE I WILL NOT MENTION SEVERE STORM POTENTIAL IN THE HWO FOR NOW (ALTHOUGH SUBSEQUENT SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO WATCH). STILL UPPED MEX POPS FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON REGARDLESS AS THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH LINGERING DEEP MOISTURE (ESPECIALLY IN SOUTHEAST ZONES) TO TRIGGER WIDELY SCATTERED (TO SCATTERED) CONVECTION. THEREAFTER...OUR OFFICIAL FORECAST DOES NOT FOLLOW 00Z MEX GUIDANCE VERY CLOSELY...MAINLY BECAUSE THIS GUIDANCE IS LIKELY TOO COOL FOR ABOVE MENTIONED REASONS. LOW LEVEL TEMPS EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO AT LEAST NORTHERN ZONES SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY SHOULD BE EXTREMELY WARM (22 TO 24 DEGREES CELSIUS)...AND THIS COULD BE CAPABLE OF SURFACE TEMPS UP TO 105 DEGREES IN IDEAL SITUATIONS. BUT SITUATION FOR MAXIMUM HEATING WILL LIKELY NOT BE IDEAL WITH MODERATE TO LOCALLY HIGH LEVELS OF SURFACE MOISTURE AND NON-WESTERLY 850 MB WIND VECTORS NOT ALLOWING THE TOTAL HEAT POTENTIAL TO MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE. ANOTHER REASON FOR NOT GOING OVERBOARD WITH THE HEAT IS THAT THE GFSS IDEA OF THE UNDERCUTTING DISTURBANCE IS PROBABLY NOT TOTALLY WRONG (ALTHOUGH LIKELY OVERDONE). ANY UPPER LEVEL WAVE UNDERCUTTING THE RIDGE CENTER TO OUR NORTH WILL PROVIDE THE REGION WITH SOME PRECIP CHANCES AND ASSOCIATED CLOUD COVER. IT IS HARD TO SAY WHEN THIS NEXT HOT STRETCH WILL BREAK DOWN...BUT THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR IT TO PERSIST (ALTHOUGH LACKING THE TRUE TRIPLE DIGIT HEAT) INTO THE LATTER PORTION OF NEXT WEEK. MODEL IDEAS OF A LARGE TROUGH BREAKING UP THE RIDGE QUICKLY BY NEXT TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY ARE JUST NOT BELIEVABLE AT THIS POINT BECAUSE OF THE CRY WOLF SYNDROME AND LACK OF SUPPORT FROM MORE CONSISTENT MODEL ENSEMBLE OUTPUT. WITH ALL THIS IN MIND I WENT LARGELY WITH WARMER ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE EXTENDED...ALTHOUGH REMAINING NEARER MEX POPS IN MOST CASES. REALLY NOT EXPECTING HIGHS TO BE BELOW THE MID OR UPPER 90S IN THE MAJORITY OF THE REGION SATURDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY. RAIN CHANCES WILL NOT BE VERY HIGH THROUGH THIS PERIOD...BUT THERE SHOULD STILL BE SOME AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING ACTIVITY AROUND (ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF ZONES). CONTINUED TO MENTION EXPECTED HEAT AND HEAT INDEX ISSUES IN THE HWO. PROBLEMS OF THIS SORT SHOULD BEGIN SATURDAY WHEN HEAT INDICES COULD PEAK UP TO 110 IN SOME SPOTS IN THE AFTERNOON GIVEN HIGH EXPECTED AMOUNTS OF SURFACE MOISTURE. /BB/ && .AVIATION...NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT HBG/JAN/GTR/MEI FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS. OCCASIONAL DOWNPOURS MAY REDUCE VISIBILITIES TO A MILE OR LESS BRIEFLY. IT WAS MOSTLY SHOWERS...SO VCTS WAS GOOD. A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE WEST OF THE RIVER MAY APPROACH GLH BEFORE SUNSET...BUT VCTS SEEMS OK FOR NOW. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WAS MOVING AWAY FROM GWO...WITH VERY LITTLE REDEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA. STORMS MAY BACK BUILD INTO THE AREA...SO WILL NOT ADJUST THE FORECAST. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY SHOULD DISSIPATE BY 03Z. SOUNDINGS SUGGEST FOG WILL DEVELOP AT MOST SITES...SO ADDED MVFR CONDITIONS AROUND 09Z. EXPECTING BRIEF REDUCTIONS TO IFR CONDITIONS AT HBG AND MAYBE MEI TOWARD SUNRISE. SINCE GLH HAS BEEN DRY AND WILL LIKELY REMAIN DRY...LEFT FOG OUT FOR TONIGHT. STILL LOOKS LIKE RAIN WILL GET STARTED ACROSS THE SOUTH EARLY FRIDAY AND POSSIBLY BY MID MORNING ACROSS THE NORTH...SO TIMING OF RAIN MAY HAVE TO BE ADJUSTED. OVERALL...LOOKS LIKE MORE SHOWERS WITH A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL IMPACT JAN/HBG AND MAYBE MEI IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING...GENERALLY IN THE 18-02Z TIME PERIOD. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

NORTHEAST LOUISIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS. .DAY ONE...TONIGHT AND FRIDAY ISOLATED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING AND FRIDAY. WIND GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH...SMALL HAIL...HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND FREQUENT DANGEROUS LIGHTNING WILL BE POSSIBLE. SLOW MOVING STORMS MAY PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND MINOR FLOODING IN POOR DRAINAGE AND LOW LYING AREAS TONIGHT AND FRIDAY. SOUTHERLY WINDS CONTINUE TO BRING WARM AND MOIST GULF AIR INTO THE REGION. CLOUDS LINGERED OVER THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA FOR MUCH OF THE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...AREAS ALONG AND JUST SOUTH OF THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR HAVE GOTTEN LARGE AMOUNTS OF SUN TODAY. INCREASED INSTABILITY AND PLENTY OF MOISTURE MAY LEAD TO A FEW STRONG THUNDERSTORMS FOR AREAS NORTH OF INTERSTATE 20 LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE STORMS WILL DIMINISH SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET. BY LATE FRIDAY MORNING...AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AND WEAK BOUNDARY WILL BE MOVING INTO THE REGION. AS THE SYSTEM TRACKS SOUTHWARD...A FEW STRONG STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. IN ADDITION...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE SEA-BREEZE AND MOVE NORTH. THE SYSTEMS WILL MERGE NEAR THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR...WHERE A FEW STRONG STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS RETURN SATURDAY...WITH TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO PEAK BETWEEN 95 AND 100 IN MOST LOCATIONS. HEAT INDICES WILL RANGE FROM 105 TO 110 DEGREES. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE LOWER AND MID 70S. A HEAT ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED FOR PORTIONS OF THE ARKLAMISS SATURDAY. THE HEAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. ALTHOUGH WIDESPREAD 100 DEGREE READINGS WERE NOT ANTICIPATED...THE COMBINATION OF HEAT AND HUMIDITY MAY CAUSE HEAT INDEX VALUES TO PEAK NEAR OR ABOVE 105 DEGREES EACH AFTERNOON FROM SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. IN ADDITION... OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE IN THE MID AND UPPER 70S. HEAT ADVISORIES MAY BE NEEDED FOR PORTIONS OF THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK. .SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT... THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...HAM RADIO OPERATORS...AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL IN SUPPORT OF SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY.
