NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Mar 8, 9:36 PM CST, 5 hours 49 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 936 PM CST MON MAR 8 2010 .DISCUSSION...SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO LOWS/EVENING TEMPS FOR TONIGHT AS READINGS SOME AREAS REMAIN A BIT COOLER THAN EARLIER ADVERTISED...ALTHOUGH ADVECTION OF WARMER TEMPS AND DEWPOINTS WILL DEVELOP LATER TONIGHT ACROSS THE REGION. ALSO ADJUSTED WORDING TO SLIGHTLY DELAY THE ONSET OF PRECIP THAT WILL DEVELOP INTO THE AREA TONIGHT. OTHERWISE...WE REMAIN ON TRACK FOR THE BRUNT OF SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL TO HIT THE AREA WEDNESDAY. AGREE WITH PREVIOUS SHIFT ON THE POSSIBILITY OF A FEW STRONG STORMS IN THE WEST TUESDAY. CAPE AND VERTICAL TOTAL VALUES INCREASE INDICATING THAT THE AIR MASS WILL BECOME UNSTABLE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT POSSIBLY SEVERE CONVECTION. HOWEVER...SUBSTANTIAL CIN IS FORECAST FOR WRN ZONES AND FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT CONVECTION MAY NOT YET BECOME SURFACE BASED IN MANY AREAS SO WILL FOLLOW CURRENT FORECAST LIMITING SEVERE POTENTIAL TOMORROW WITH MUCH GREATER SEVERE POTENTIAL MAINTAINED FOR WEDNESDAY. 18Z MAV GUIDANCE IS INDICATING SLIGHTLY LIGHTER WIND SPEEDS FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON. THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BE ON THE INCREASE TUESDAY AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING LOW AND A LAKE WIND ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED FOR LARGER LAKES. .PREV DISCUSSION...337 PM CST MON MAR 8 2010 TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE WILL SLIDE FURTHER EAST OF THE REGION TONIGHT...WITH THE UPPER RIDGE FOLLOWING SUIT...IN RESPONSE TO THE DEEPENING UPPER LEVEL LOW AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW MOVING OUT OF THE ROCKIES AND INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS STATES. RADAR THIS AFTERNOON IS ALREADY SHOWING ACTIVITY MOVING INTO NORTHEAST LOUISIANA AND SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI. RIGHT NOW OTHER THAN A FEW SPRINKLES HERE AND THERE...MUCH OF THIS ACTIVITY ISN'T REACHING THE GROUND. HOWEVER... AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONTINUES TO INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON AND THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...LIGHT RAIN WILL BEGIN TO FALL HERE...AND CONTINUE TO SPREAD FURTHER EAST ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE NIGHT. WITH STRONG RIDGING NOW OVER THE EAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES... THE EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF THE UPPER AND SURFACE LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL COME TO A HALT CAUSING THE SYSTEM TO BECOME VERTICALLY STACKED OVER THE NATION'S MID-SECTION TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. DURING THIS TIME...A WARM FRONT WILL BEGIN TO LIFT NORTHWARD INTO WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA EARLY TUESDAY MORNING...THEN FURTHER NORTH INTO AND EVENTUALLY ACROSS THE CWA THROUGHOUT THE DAY. AS IT DOES SO...MOISTURE WILL SURGE NORTHWARD INTO THE REGION IN ITS WAKE. THIS WILL BE MOST NOTICEABLE ACROSS WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA WHERE DEW POINTS WILL CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 50S. AS THIS HAPPENS...A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL TRAVERSE THE CWA TAPPING INTO THIS MOISTURE THUS KEEPING GOOD RAIN CHANCES OVER THE FORECAST AREA TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. WHILE WE'LL CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE THE POTENTIAL FOR A STRONG STORM OR TWO LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...PARTICULARLY IN MY WEST AND SOUTH...CONFIDENCE IS LESSENING IN THAT ANY OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE OF A SEVERE NATURE. MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT THAT DURING MUCH OF THIS TIME THERE WILL BE A PRETTY GOOD CAP IN PLACE OVER THE AREA...COUPLED WITH JUST OVERALL LIMITED INSTABILITY AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES DURING THIS TIME. HOWEVER...A RATHER STOUT UPPER LEVEL JET...140-160 KNOTS...WILL NOSE EASTWARD INTO THE NORTH CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO TUESDAY AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS COULD PROVIDE A LITTLE ENHANCEMENT AS THE CWA BECOMES MORE FIXED IN THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF THIS JET. ALSO DURING THIS TIME...THERE REMAINS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME MINOR AND LOCALIZED FLOODING OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA AS THERE COULD BE SOME TRAINING CONVECTION HERE. ON WEDNESDAY HOWEVER...THE CONCERN FOR STRONG AND SEVERE STORMS INCREASES THROUGH THE DAY ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA AS THE INITIAL UPPER LOW WEAKENS AND IS OVERTAKEN BE A MORE POWERFUL UPPER LEVEL LOW THAT KICKS OUT ACROSS THE MID MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. DURING THIS TIME...THE CWA WILL BECOME BETTER FIXED IN THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF A NOW ADVERTISED 170-190 KNOT UPPER LEVEL JET. THIS COUPLED WITH GOOD DEEP LAYER WIND SHEAR (0-6KM 50-60 KNOTS)...INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY...AS WELL AS STRONG FORCING...WILL ALL AID IN SETTING THE STAGE FOR WHAT...RIGHT NOW...LOOKS LIKE A GOOD CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE REGION. WITH THE CURRENT SETUP...IT LOOKS LIKE SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE SUPERCELLS AND CAPABLE OF PRODUCING TORNADOES ALONG WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. HOWEVER...WITH THE COLDER AIR ALOFT...MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ON THE ORDER OF 7-8C/KM AND 27-30C VERTICAL TOTALS...ANY STORM THAT DEVELOPS DURING THIS TIME WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL. THIS LIKELIHOOD OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FROM WEST TO EAST WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT/EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. WHILE THE LATEST MODEL SOLUTIONS ARE GIVING INCREASED CONFIDENCE TO THIS SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...THERE ARE SOME FAILURE MODES WHICH COULD INHIBIT BOTH THE INTENSITY OF AND COVERAGE OF THIS SEVERE WEATHER RISK...ALL OF WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO BE CLOSELY MONITORED. WITH THAT SAID...RESIDENTS ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS REGION SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND OUTLOOKS CONCERNING THIS SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. ELEMENTS OF THE FORECAST PAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT WILL REMAIN UNCHANGED THIS AFTERNOON. THUS THE PREVIOUS LONG TERM FORECAST DISCUSSION BEGINNING WITH THURSDAY FOLLOWS. /19/ THURSDAY THROUGH NEXT MONDAY...A SUBSTANTIAL MID-UPPER DRY PUNCH EARLY THURSDAY WILL PROVIDE CONSIDERABLE STABILITY ON WLY FLOW WITH LESS THAN ONE HALF INCH PWATS SWEEPING ACROSS OUR REGION. THE CUTOFF VERTICALLY-STACKED MID LEVEL LOW MOVES NEWD FROM THE OZARKS TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES BUT AT A SLOWING PACE AS A RIDGE BUILDS N OF THE CIRCULATION CREATING A REX BLOCK. THIS MOVEMENT SHOULD ALLOW A SECONDARY SURFACE TROUGH/FRONT TO DIVE THROUGH OUR AREA EARLY FRIDAY(FEW SHRA) BEFORE A WEAK LOW LEVEL RIDGE AXIS TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE LOWER MS VALLEY DURING THE WEEKEND. WHILE MID WEEK TEMPERATURES LIKELY TO HOLD ABOVE NORMAL AND CLOSE TO MEX GUIDANCE...READINGS SHOULD RETURN TO NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR THE WEEKEND(ALTHOUGH NIGHTS MAY SLIP BACK INTO THE U30S SUNDAY/MONDAY). THE SUBSEQUENT BREAKDOWN OF THE BLOCKING PATTERN FOR THE ERN CONUS COULD TAKE SEVERAL DAYS TO ACCOMPLISH AND MODELS MAY BE PREMATURE IN DOING SO EARLY NEXT WEEK. /40/ && .AVIATION...LOOK FOR VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH AT LEAST MIDNIGHT WITH CEILINGS LOWERING TO MVFR CATEGORY LATER IN THE TAF PERIOD WITH THIS LOWERING TREND OCCURRING FROM W-E INTO TUE MORNING. LIGHT RAIN WILL EVOLVE ACROSS THE NW HALF OF THE CWA LATER TONIGHT INTO THE FIRST HALF OF TUE. AS FOR SFC WINDS...LOOK FOR SOUTHERLY SFC WINDS TO INCREASE BETWEEN 09-14Z TUE WITH WINDS PEAKING FROM LATE MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON HRS TUE BETWEEN 10-15KTS. SOME HIGHER GUSTS MAY OCCUR AS WELL. /CME/ && .JAN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MS...NONE. LA...NONE. AR...NONE. && 19/CME 03
