NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 9, 2:23 PM CST, 5 hours 11 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 323 PM CDT WED JUN 9 2010 .DISCUSSION...CONVECTIVE LATE AFTERNOON STILL LOOKING PROBABLE AS PWATS OF NEAR 2 INCHES OVER MUCH OF THE REGION ALONG WITH WIDESPREAD SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE M70S...ESPECIALLY FOR THE DELTA. EARLY MORNING ROUND OF TSRA OVER NERN MS DEPOSITED A WEAK OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM NEAR MACON TO GRENADA THAT WAS LIFTING NEWD. AN AXIS OF INSTABILITY WITH MINUS 9 LIFTED INDEXES REMAINS FROM BASTROP/WINNSBORO IN NERN LA TO AROUND GRENADA/WEST POINT AREAS. A STEADY SSW FEED OF GULF MOISTURE REFUELING THE AIR MASS AND EARLIER RAOBS IMPRESSIVE WITH RATHER HIGH WET MICROBURST CHECKLIST VALUES IN THE LIKELY CATEGORY. PROGGED TEMP/DEWPTS OF 93/74 YIELD SBCAPES NEAR 4300J/KG... DCAPE 11-1200J/KG...AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES NEARLY 7C. WILL KEEP MENTION OF POTENTIAL GUSTY WINDS/HEAVY RAINS IN PORTIONS OF NERN LA...SE AR AND NW MS THROUGH SUNSET. REF SPC DAY 1 OUTLOOK. LATEST RUC DEVELOPS CONVECTION ALONG THE MS RIVER WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND THEN BUILDS IT EWD TO AROUND I-55 AND THEN DISSIPATING BY 04-06Z. AS A RESULT...KEEPING POPS TO 60 PERCENT N AND W BEFORE DARK WHILE KEEPING 30-40 ALONG AND W OF THE NATCHEZ TRACE. HWOJAN HANGING ON WITH ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS...ESPECIALLY NORTHWEST OF A LINE FROM JONESVILLE TO NATCHEZ TO JACKSON TO MACON. LATER TONIGHT/THURSDAY THE MID LEVEL COLD POOL IN NRN TX OPENS UP AND LIFTS INTO THE OZARKS AS LONG WAVE TROUGH DIGS OVER THE WRN CONUS. PLENTY OF CONVECTIVE CLOUD DEBRIS AND OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES TO WORK WITH ON THURSDAY SO POPS WILL REMAIN IN THE SCATTERED CATEGORY FOR MAINLY AFTERNOON SHRA/TSRA. BY THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY...THE WRN CONUS TROUGH AMPLIFIES RIDGING OVER THE SERN CONUS WHICH WILL BRING WARMER AFTERNOON TEMPS/HEAT INDEXES THAT THE MEX HAS BEEN TRYING TO FORECAST AROUND HERE FOR THE PAST WEEK TO TEN DAYS. STILL BELIEVE WE MAY START PUSHING ON THE HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA STARTING FRIDAY AND LASTING THROUGH THE WEEKEND HOWEVER MODELS PERSIST IN TRYING TO MIX OUT OUR AFTERNOON DEWPOINTS TO KEEP US BELOW THE 105F THRESHOLD...WE SHALL SEE IF THAT PANS OUT. SOME PROGGED RAOBS SUGGEST U90S MAY OCCUR WHICH WOULD BE PUSHING CLOSER TO RECORD HOT LEVELS./40/ LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE EXTENDED PORTION OF THE FORECAST WILL MOSTLY BE DOMINATED BY BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION AND CONTINUED WARM AND MUGGY CONDITIONS. BUILDING 500MB HEIGHTS OVER THE ARKLAMISS REGION CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND TO AROUND 595DM AS A TROUGH DIGS OUT WEST. THIS WILL RESULT IN CONTINUED WARM TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE REGION. HIGHS EACH DAY SHOULD REACH INTO THE MIDDLE 90S. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL NOT DROP OFF MUCH AND ONLY FALL TO THE LOWER TO MID 70S. THESE TEMPERATURES...COMBINED WITH AMPLE MOISTURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE...SHOULD CREATE RATHER UNCOMFORTABLE CONDITIONS FOR RESIDENTS FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. AFTERNOON HEAT INDEX VALUES DURING THE WEEKEND WILL REACH INTO THE LOW 100S...FLIRTING WITH 105 IN SOME LOCATIONS. WHILE THIS WILL REMAIN SLIGHTLY BELOW LOCAL HEAT ADVISORY CRITERIA...THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED WITH LATER FORECASTS. IN ADDITION...SMALL POPS WILL REMAIN IN THE FORECAST DURING THIS TIME AS DAYTIME HEATING SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO DESTABILIZE THE ATMOSPHERE FOR MOSTLY DIURNAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. BY LATE SUNDAY...THE UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO BREAK DOWN SOME AS A FRONT TRIES TO ENTER THE REGION FROM THE NORTH. THIS WEAK FRONT WILL SLOWLY OOZE DOWN INTO THE ARKLAMISS SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACCOMPANYING THE FRONT. THE FRONT LOOKS TO STALL GENERALLY AROUND THE COAST AND SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BECOME SLIGHTLY CLOSER TO NORMAL WITH THIS FROPA AND OVERNIGHT LOWS A LITTLE COOLER THAN RECENT DAYS DUE TO SLIGHTLY DRIER AIR FILTERING IN BEHIND IT. GFS MOS TEMPS HAVE BEEN RUNNING A LITTLE WARM AS OF LATE AND ADJUSTED TEMPS A LITTLE CLOSER TO ENSEMBLE NUMBERS FOR PORTIONS OF THE PERIOD. /28/ && .AVIATION...EXPECT VFR OCNL MVFR SKIES THIS AFTERNOON WITH SCT-BKN DECKS 1500-3000 FEET AND BKN-OVC 3-5K FEET. SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL BE SCATTERED OVER THE AREA TODAY...ESPECIALLY OVER WRN AND NRN SECTIONS OF THE REGION...WITH BRIEF PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL LOWERING CIGS/VSBY TO IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS. ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WILL ALSO DEVELOP WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS. SHOWERS AND TSTMS WILL BE ON THE DECREASE BY EARLY EVENING WITH MOST ACTIVITY ENDING BY 10 PM. CLOUD DECKS WILL GENERALLY BE SCT BY 10 PM. LIGHT FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT WITH PATCHES OF IFR VSBY POSSIBLE TOWARD MORNING IN AREAS WHERE HEAVIER RAINFALL OCCURS./03/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

THUNDERSTORMS WILL ALSO HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH MAY PRODUCE PONDING WATER ON ROADWAYS AND IN AREAS WHERE DRAINAGE IS POOR. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AS A WEAK DISTURBANCE MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. A FEW STORMS WILL BECOME SEVERE...FUELED BY THE VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS CURRENTLY POSITIONED OVER THE AREA. THE CHANCE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL DECREASE AFTER SUNSET AND MOST ACTIVITY WILL END BY MIDNIGHT. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY THE PROBABILITY FOR WIDESPREAD HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS LOW. .SPOTTER CALL TO ACTION STATEMENT...
