Hail and Damaging Winds in Mississippi, May 13, 2011

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1140 AM CDT FRI MAY 13 2011

.UPDATE...WATER VAPOR IMAGERY/RUC ANALYSIS SHOWS THE CLOSED LOW
MOVING INTO WESTERN MISSOURI. PLENTY OF DRY AIR ALOFT WAS NOTED
WRAPPING AROUND THE LOW AND INTO THE WESTERN HALF OF OUR CWA. THIS
DRYING WAS IN THE WAKE OF A WAVE THAT HELPED PRODUCE MORNING
CONVECTION ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF OUR AREA. PLENTY OF
SUNSHINE HAS BROKEN OUT IN THE WEST ALLOWING FOR A TEMPERATURES TO
WARM FASTER THAN EXPECTED. IN THE NORTHEAST WHERE THICK CLOUD COVER
AND RAIN LINGERED...TEMPERATURES WERE RUNNING COOLER AND WILL TAKE
UNTIL THIS AFTERNOON TO RECOVER. THE UPPER LOW WILL CONTINUE
TRACKING EAST THIS AFTERNOON RESULTING IN CONTINUED HEIGHT FALLS AND
COOLER TEMPS ALOFT MOVING OVER OUR CWA AND SUPPORT AN APPROACHING
COLD FRONT. SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED THE COLD FRONT FROM CENTRAL
ARKANSAS AND BACK ACROSS NORTHWEST LOUISIANA. CONVECTION IS EXPECTED
TO REDEVELOP ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS
THE COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA. THERE IS STILL EXPECTED TO BE
ENOUGH MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY ACROSS THE AREA TO SUPPORT A FEW
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. THE PRIMARY RISK WITH ANY STORM WILL
BE QUARTER SIZE HAIL. WIND GUSTS TO 60 MPH WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.
ANY STORM TRACKING ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND BACK WATER AREAS
THAT ARE IN FLOOD WILL ALSO RAISE THE CONCERN FOR FLASH FLOODING.
THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THOSE AREAS. /22/

&&
.AVIATION...ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE
ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY
DOWNPOURS CAN BE EXPECTED BRINGING WITH IT BRIEF MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS. THE BOUNDARY WILL MOVE INTO THE DELTA THIS EVENING AND
THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA THROUGH THE EVENING INTO THE EARLY
OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE WINDS WILL SWING AROUND TO THE NW BEHIND THE
FRONT. THERE MAY BE SOME PATCHY FOG AROUND MEI/HBG DURING THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS ON SATURDAY./15/

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 424 AM CDT FRI MAY 13 2011/

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. MODELS DO NOT HAVE A
GOOD HANDLE ON THE DAY...TRIED TO USE A BLEND FOR THE FORECAST.
LOOKS LIKE THERE COULD BE TWO ROUNDS OF RAIN...NOT CONFIDENT IN THE
AMOUNTS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN GOING AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT FOR THE PAST FEW HOURS. ACTIVITY HAS BEEN LIMITED TO THE
NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE AREA. HOWEVER...CLOUDS WERE THICKENING TO
THE SOUTH AND WEST...WITH A FEW WEAK ECHOES APPEARING. RAIN CHANCES
WERE LIKELY IN THE WEST THROUGH 12Z...SO MAINTAINED THE HIGHER
VALUES. MAY ADD A PRE-FIRST PERIOD. AFTER 12Z...GUIDANCE BACKS OFF
ON THE RAIN. USED A BLEND OF THE MET/MAV FOR POPS AND HELD ON TO
VALUES FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST IN A FEW INSTANCES. A LINE OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WAS STARTING FORM...WITH SOUTHWESTERLY
WINDS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE AREA. FOR A LITTLE WHILE...THE AREA
SEEMED CUT OFF FROM THE MOISTURE...WITH THE DISTURBANCE MOVING
ACROSS THE NORTHERN GULF. WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH THE RAINFALL
AMOUNTS WITH MOST OF THE RAIN FALLING NEAR OR OVER THE RIVER. THE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL THIS EVENING.

THE NEW RUNS HAVE COME IN SHOWING A LITTLE LESS ACTIVITY THAN
BEFORE. THE 00Z RUNS SHOW A LINE OF CONVECTION WELL AHEAD OF THE
BOUNDARY AND A SECOND LINE OF CONVECTION DEVELOPING WITH THE LINE.
THE FIRST ROUND WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK EAST ACROSS THE CWA THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON. STILL ANTICIPATING MORE WIDESPREAD ACTIVITY WITH
AFTERNOON HEATING...SO KEPT LIKELY POPS EVEN THOUGH NEW GUIDANCE WAS
LOWER. THE MODELS HAVE THE BOUNDARY MOVING IN THIS AFTERNOON WITH
RAIN LINGERING IN THE EAST UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT. ADDED A FEW MORE
WEATHER SEGMENTS TO TRY A GIVE A ROUGH TIMING ON THE RAIN. LOOKING
FOR MOST OF THE RAIN TO BE DONE THIS BY LATE EVENING. HEAVY
DOWNPOURS ARE LIKELY TODAY. ALTHOUGH...PW VALUES WERE NOT GREAT ON
THE 00Z SOUNDING...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS IN PLACE. MODEL
SOUNDINGS SHOW MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY INCREASING THIS AFTERNOON.
WILL CONTINUE STRONG TO SEVERE WORDING IN THE HWO...BUT WILL ADJUST
THE WORDING TO INCLUDE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SHEAR WAS LIMITED
WITH VERY LITTLE LOW LEVEL SHEAR AND AROUND 35KTS OF 0-6KM SHEAR.
WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION WIND AND HAIL.

WITH THE BOUNDARY BEING DELAYED TO THE AFTERNOON THE WARMER VALUES
WERE GOOD FOR TODAY. MOST LOCATIONS SHOULD REACH THE MID TO UPPER
80S TODAY. OTHER THAN CLOUDY SKIES...SATURDAY SHOULD BE OK. IT WILL
BE COOLER...MAINLY IN THE MID AND UPPER 70S. 850 TEMPS/CLIMO SUGGEST
IT MAY BE A LITTLE WARMER FOR HIGHS AND LOWS...WENT WITH GUIDANCE.

LONG TERM (SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY) COMFORTABLE TEMPERATURES
AND MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH MUCH OF THE
EXTENDED PERIOD WITH PERIODS OF CLOUDS PIVOTING ACROSS THE REGION
FROM THE NORTHWEST.

PREDOMINATE NORTHWEST FLOW WILL BE THE NAME OF THE GAME THROUGH THE
EXTENDED PERIOD AS A LARGE...VERTICALLY-DEEP CUT-OFF LOW WILL EXIST
ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER VALLY ON LATE THIS WEEKEND THROUGH MUCH OF
NEXT WEEK BEFORE FINALLY LIFTING OUT OF THE EASTERN CONUS BY
THURSDAY-FRIDAY. A SERIES OF PIVOTING MID- TO UPPER-LVL SHORTWAVES
WILL DROP DOWN ON THE BACK SIDE OF LARGER CLOSED LOW THROUGH THE
WEEK THAT WILL BRING PERIODS OF COLD ADVECTION STRATOCUMULUS CLOUDS
AS WELL AS SOME MID TO HIGH CLOUDS.  THESE CLOUDS WILL PLAY IN
IMPORTANT ROLE IN TEMPERATURES OVER THE EXTENDED PERIOD.

FOR SUNDAY...A COLD-CORE /-22 C AT H5/ CUT-OFF LOW WILL BE LOCATED
ACROSS THE CENTRAL OHIO RIVER VALLEY AS A VORTICITY LOBE ROTATES
DOWN ACROSS THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BUT MAINLY STAYS NORTH OF THE
REGION. WITH THE ADDITIONAL LIFT AND MID-LEVEL LAPSE
RATES...COLD-ADVECTION STRATOCUMULUS WILL PIVOT AROUND THE LOW AND
INFILTRATE NORTHERN AND EASTERN AREAS THE MOST. HOWEVER...GIVEN
PWATS OF 0.5-0.7IN AND LITTLE TO NO LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE...LIGHT
RAIN SHOWERS COULD BE POSSIBLE WITH LITTLE ACCUMULATION EXPECTED.
WITH H85 TEMPS COOLING TO 8-9 DEGREES C...CLOUD COVER...AND WEAK
CAA...SURFACE TEMPERATURES LOOK TO ONLY REACH LOW TO MID 70S SUNDAY
AFTERNOON. ENDED UP CUTTING A COUPLE OF DEGREES OF MAV GUIDANCE AND
REDUCED POPS FOR LATE SUNDAY AND EARLY MONDAY TIME FRAME.

BY MONDAY...STRONGER CAA TAKES PLACE WITH H85 TEMPS DROPPING DOWN
BETWEEN 2 TO 4 DEGREES UNDER STRONGER NORTH LOW-LVL FLOW AS ANOTHER
MID-LEVEL WAVE ROTATES ACROSS THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. WITH SOME
AREAS RECEIVING LIMITED INSOLATION GIVEN CONTINUED STRATOCUMULUS
DECK...SOME LOCATIONS MAY NOT MAKE IT OUT OF THE 70S EXCEPT FOR SOME
SOUTHERN LOCATIONS ACROSS THE 84 CORRIDOR. HIGHS MONDAY WILL BE SOME
10 DEGREES BELOW NORMALS FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. LOW TEMPERATURES
INTO TUESDAY MORNING COULD FALL INTO THE UPPER 40S ACROSS
NORTHERN AND EASTERN AREAS AS CLOUDS BEGIN TO EXIT THE REGION.

TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...MODEL SOLUTIONS BEGIN TO DIVERGE BUT SHOW
ENOUGH AGREEMENT/CONTINUITY THAT SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE APPEARS TO
NOSE IN ACROSS THE SOUTH-CENTRAL PLAINS AND THE SOUTHEAST.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE COMFORTABLE WITH HIGHS GENERALLY IN THE
MID TO UPPER 70S AND LOWS IN THE MID 50S AFTER REDUCING MEX GUIDANCE
AND USING LOW END MENMOS VALUES GIVEN DEWPOINTS IN THE LOW TO MID
40S. THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL LEAD TO A SLOWLY MODIFYING AND
WARMING AIRMASS TOWARDS THE END OF THE WEEK. RETURN FLOW COULD
HAPPEN AS EARLY AS THURSDAY WITH DEWPOINTS CLIMBING BACK UP IN TO
THE LOW 60S ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN AREAS OF THE CWA. BY THE END OF THE
WEEK(FRIDAY)...THE OPS GFS IS MUCH MORE PROGRESSIVE THAN THE ECMWF
IN RESOLVING A POTENT SHORTWAVE ACROSS THE DESERT SOUTHWEST INTO THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS THAT ALLOWS FOR SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS AND POTENTIALLY
THE NEXT BIG CHANCE OF RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO NEXT WEEKEND. ON
THE FLIP SIDE...THE ECMWF IS DEPICTING THE POTENT MID-LVL TROUGHING
MUCH FARTHER WEST ACROSS THE GREAT BASIN GIVEN THAT IT HAS RESOLVED
THE EASTERN CONUS CUT-OFF LOW FARTHER SOUTH AND SLIGHTLY
DEEPER...THUS POSSIBLY CREATING MORE MID- TO UPPER-LVL BLOCKING
AND THUS NOT AS PROGRESSIVE AS OPS GFS. HAVE OPTED TO PLAY THE
MIDDLE ROAD AT THIS STAGE AND REDUCED MEX POPS FOR FRIDAY GIVEN GFS
BIASED NATURE OF BEING TOO PROGRESSIVE./ALLEN/
