NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 13, 3:33 PM CST, 37 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 433 PM CDT MON JUN 13 2011 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...MUCH ANTICIPATED MCS HAS MADE IT INTO THE NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA THIS AFTERNOON. JUST ABOUT THE ENTIRE CWA IS UNDER A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 473 UNTIL 9PM/02Z. IN ADDITION...ISOLATED STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED TO THE SOUTH OF THE MCS ACROSS EASTERN MISSISSIPPI. SOME OF THESE STORMS HAVE BECOME SEVERE WITH THE MAIN HAZARD BEING FROM QUARTER SIZE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS UP TO 70MPH. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE TO PUSH SOUTH AS THE REGION REMAINS UNDER NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THE MCS IS MOVING INTO A RATHER UNSTABLE AIRMASS AS TEMPERATURES HAVE REACHED INTO THE MID 90S SOUTH OF THE STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT IS DRAPED OVER NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI. IN ADDITION TO THE HAIL AND WIND...THERE COULD BE SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AS SOME OF THESE STORMS ARE MOVING VERY SLOWLY OUTSIDE OF THE MCS. THE ONLY LOCATION WHERE STORMS ARE LESS LIKELY TO DEVELOP WOULD BE ACROSS THE WEST WHERE THE INFLUENCE FROM THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE IS A BIT STRONGER. EXPECT THIS MCS TO CONTINUE TO PUSH SOUTH AND ARRIVE AROUND THE JACKSON METRO AROUND 6PM AND CONTINUE TO PUSH SOUTH. LOCAL HI-RES WRF INDICATES THAT THIS SHOULD BEGIN TO DISSIPATE AS IT PUSHES FURTHER SOUTH AND THERE IS THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. ONCE THIS PUSHES THROUGH...QUIET CONDITIONS SHOULD RESUME FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT. TOMORROWS FORECAST WILL BE A CHALLENGE AS WELL SINCE THE REGION WILL REMAIN UNDER NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT...AND MODELS INDICATE THERE COULD BE ANOTHER MCS DIVING DOWN FROM ILLINOIS INTO THE DEEP SOUTH TOMORROW AFTERNOON. THIS AGAIN MAY AFFECT OUR EASTERN COUNTIES THE MOST DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. WITH TEMPERATURES TOMORROW AGAIN REACHING INTO THE MID TO UPPER 90S...THE ATMOSPHERE WILL LIKELY BE UNSTABLE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE CONVECTION. THE QUESTION WILL BE WHERE WILL THIS SYSTEM TRACK AND IF OUR AREA WILL SEE ANY AFFECTS FROM IT. NATIONAL HI-RES WRF MODELS DO NOT RESOLVE THIS VERY WELL BUT WILL CONTINUE LOW POPS IN THE FORECAST. BY WEDNESDAY...A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY AND DRAG ANOTHER COLD FRONT TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA. THIS WILL PROVIDE SOME FOCUS FOR SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY...MOSTLY FOR THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA. THIS WILL HELP TO BREAK THE RIDGE DOWN SOME AND POTENTIALLY BRING SOME SMALL RELIEF FROM THE HEAT WITH AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES GETTING INTO THE LOWER TO MID 90S. GUIDANCE WAS GENERALLY ACCEPTED BUT DID INCREASE POPS FOR TONIGHT IN THE EAST AND AGAIN WEDNESDAY. /28/ .LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...GFS/ECMWF IN GENERAL AGREEMENT THROUGH THIS TIME PERIOD WITH MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGE RETROGRADING SOMEWHAT TO THE WEST AND ALLOWING A WEAKNESS TO DEVELOP OVER THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE COUNTRY...BUT RIDGE LOOKS TO REAFFIRM ITSELF BACK OVER THE LOWER MS VALLEY BY SUNDAY. AT MIDWEEK...NW FLOW REGIME WILL ALREADY BE IN CONTROL OVER THE REGION. THIS TYPE OF FLOW PATTERN CAN TYPICALLY GIVE US SOME ENHANCEMENTS TO AFTERNOON CONVECTION...PROVIDED WE CAN GET A WEAK SHORTWAVE IN THE FLOW TO TRAVERSE THE AREA DURING PEAK HEATING. ACTUAL RESOLUTION AND TIMING OF THESE TYPE OF FEATURES IS QUITE DIFFICULT FOR COARSE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS AND WILL HAVE TO WAIT TO SEE HOW THE MESOSCALE MODELS HANDLE THESE AS THE TIME FRAME NEARS. ANYWAY...SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ARE WARRANTED FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...ESPECIALLY IN THE EAST...FURTHEST AWAY FROM AFFECTS OF THE MID/UPPER RIDGE. FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...BROAD MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING MOVES OFF TO THE EAST AND ALLOWS MID/UPPER LEVEL RIDGE TO ONCE AGAIN BUILD OVER THE MS VALLEY. BROAD SCALE SUBSIDENCE WILL INHIBIT CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT WHILE ALLOWING MAX TEMPS TO CLIMB BACK UP INTO THE MID/UPPER 90S WITH LITTLE...IFY ANY...CONVECTIVE REPRIEVE./GRG/ && .AVIATION...A LARGE COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE TO THE SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AFFECTING ALL TAF LOCATIONS AT SOME POINT. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 58KTS OUT OF THE NORTH WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG WITH QUARTER SIZED HAIL. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD PUSH SOUTH OF HBG BY 04Z. ELSE...ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP MAINLY ALONG AND EAST OF I-55 AND CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING AHEAD OF THE MAIN COMPLEX. MVFR CONDITIONS DUE TO PATCHY GROUND FOG DEVELOPMENT WILL MAKE A RETURN AGAIN TUESDAY MORNING...ESPECIALLY IN THE NORTH WHERE HEAVY RAINS FALL WITH THE POSSIBLE MCS. /22/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
