Hail in Arkansas, February 29, 2012

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1020 AM CST WED FEB 29 2012

...SEVERE WEATHER EXPECTED NORTH OF I-20 THIS AFTERNOON...

.UPDATE...LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT
DRAPED ACROSS CENTRAL AR BACK INTO NORTHEAST TX. BRISK SOUTHERLY
WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT CONTINUE TO PULL UP SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE/PW
VALUES NEAR 1.5IN WHICH IS AOA THE 99TH PERCENTILE FOR THE END OF
FEB. MORNING SOUNDING ANALYSIS AT JAN MODIFIED FOR THIS AFTERNOONS
TEMP/DP SHOW SBCAPE CLIMBING OVER 1500J/KG BY MID AFTERNOON...ONLY
CAVEAT WILL BE OVERCOMING A RATHER STRONG 750-800MB CAP THAT IS IN
PLACE. HEIGHT FALLS ASSOCIATED WITH APPROACHING SOUTHERN FRINGE OF
UPPER TROUGH CROSSING THE UPPER MIDWEST SHOULD HELP MINIMIZE CIN BY
THIS AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF I-20. THIS AREA STILL APPEARS TO
HAVE THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL KEEP
THIS HIGHLIGHTED IN HWO/GRAPHICS.

STORMS WILL LIKELY BEGIN TO IMPACT THE DELTA REGION NEAR OR JUST
AFTER MID DAY...WITH SOME VERSION OF A BROKEN LINE OF STORMS EXPECTED
TO SHIFT EAST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. OVERALL SEVERE RISK WILL BEGIN
TO TAPER OFF THIS EVENING...HOWEVER IT APPEARS THAT STORMS MAY BE
ONGOING ALONG THE I-20 CORRIDOR(MAINLY EAST OF I-55) THIS EVENING
KEEPING A MARGINAL SEVERE RISK GOING FOR THIS REGION UNTIL MIDNIGHT.

GOING FORECAST WAS GENERALLY ON TRACK...ONLY CHANGE WAS TO DECREASE
POPS FOR THIS MORNING AND NUDGE AFTERNOON HIGHS UP A TAD AT A COUPLE
SPOTS. UPDATED PRODUCTS ARE POSTED. /BK/

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 449 AM CST WED FEB 29 2012/

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...

SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR.

TODAY...AS OF EARLY THIS MORNING THE SLOW-MOVING COLD FRONT WAS
SITUATED WELL TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE ARKLAMISS REGION HAVING JUST
RECENTLY PUSHED INTO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. IN THE WARM SECTOR AHEAD OF
THE FRONT...A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT HAS INCREASED SOUTHERLY
WINDS AND DRAWN A MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER NORTHWARD TO ENCOMPASS THE
ENTIRE ARKLAMISS WITH SFC DEWPOINT TEMPERATURES IN THE MID/UPPER
60S. ABOVE THE MOIST LAYER CONTINUES TO EXIST A MID LEVEL CAP AND IT
WILL REQUIRE LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACHING COLD FRONT TO
INITIATE THUNDERSTORMS. MODEL GUIDANCE GENERALLY AGREES THAT THIS
WILL NOT TAKE PLACE UNTIL THE EARLY/MID AFTERNOON FOR AREAS ALONG
THE HWY 82 CORRIDOR IN SOUTHEAST AR/NORTH CENTRAL MS WHEN MIXED
LAYER CAPE IS FORECAST TO INCREASE TO NEAR 1000 J/KG. A BROKEN LINE
OF STORMS IS LIKELY TO DEVELOP AND COULD FORM INTO A LINEAR
CONVECTIVE SYSTEM GIVEN 0-6KM SHEAR VECTORS OF 50-60KTS LARGELY
ORIENTED ALONG THE FRONT AND STRONG LOW LEVEL JET WITH ABOUT SAME
ORIENTATION. WITHIN THE LINE WOULD EXPECT A FEW SUPERCELL TSTMS AND
BOWING SEGMENTS CAPABLE OF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...WITH THE GREATEST
RISK FOR TORNADOES DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING OVER
EASTERN PORTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL MS WHEN EFFECTIVE 0-1KM SRH IS
FORECAST TO INCREASE TO ABOVE 200 M2/S2. FOR AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH
OF I-20...THE CAP WILL HOLD STRONG AND WITH LITTLE FORCING EXPECT
TSTMS TO HOLD OFF UNTIL THE EVENING.

FOR TONIGHT...EXPECT THE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM...SHOULD IT INDEED
FORM...WILL MAKE A GRADUAL SOUTHWARD PUSH INTO CENTRAL MS AND NE LA
EARLY THIS EVENING. AS THE FRONT APPROACHES THE I-20 CORRIDOR AND
STALLS...THE ASSOCIATED CONVECTIVE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO STALL AS
WELL. THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE ENOUGH SHEAR/INSTABILITY FOR A
DECREASING RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER...WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL
POSSIBLY BECOMING A CONCERN AS CORFIDI VECTORS SHOW A WINDOW OF SLOW
SYSTEM SPEED GIVEN NEARLY PARALLEL 850MB-300MB WINDS WITH THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THE FRONTAL ASCENT ZONE WILL BE NARROW AND IT IS
VERY DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT WHERE THE TSTMS MAY HAVE GREATEST
COVERAGE/IMPACT. THE NEAR TERM GUIDANCE SUGGESTS IT WILL BE JUST
NORTH OF I-20...BUT MESOSCALE INFLUENCES/COLD POOLING WILL HAVE
SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT...PERHAPS SENDING CONVECTIVE FARTHER SOUTH
THAN MODEL FORECASTS.

FOR THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH THE FRONT STALLING AND
WEAKENING ALONG WITH FRONTAL LIFT...EXPECT THE CONVECTION TO
DIMINISH FURTHER THURSDAY MORNING OVER CNTRL MS. THE AIRMASS WILL BE
REMAIN WARM AND HUMID AND MOSTLY CAPPED. THE NEXT APPROACHING
SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL INCITE A NEW ROUND OF RETURN FLOW AND THIS
WILL PROVIDE LIFT FOR SHOWER DEVELOPMENT ALONG AND NORTH OF THE
RETREATING FRONTAL BOUNDARY. IF THUNDERSTORMS CAN DEVELOP IN SPITE OF
THE CAP...INSTABILITY/SHEAR WOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF STRONG/SVR STORMS
THURS AFTN/EVNG AND THIS WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED. /EC/

LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE MAIN CONCERN REMAINS THE
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT AS A STRONG
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM COMES OUT OF THE PLAINS AND BRINGS A COLD FRONT
THROUGH THE REGION. THROUGH THE REST OF THE PERIOD...GENERALLY DRY
WEATHER IS EXPECTED.

MODELS CONTINUE TO BE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT REGARDING THE SYSTEM
FOR FRIDAY NIGHT...ESPECIALLY GIVEN HOW WISHY WASHY THEY HAVE BEEN
WITH PREVIOUS SYSTEMS OF LATE. BY FRIDAY MORNING THE COLD FRONT THAT
HAD MOVED INTO PORTIONS OF THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY WILL HAVE MOVED
NORTH AS A WARM FRONT BY THURSDAY NIGHT. THE RESULT OF THIS IS THAT
WE WILL BE FAIRLY WELL ENTRENCHED IN THE WARM SECTOR AND CONDITIONS
WILL BE WARM AND RATHER MUGGY COME FRIDAY MORNING. GIVEN THE WAA
REGIME...ALONG WITH AN INCREASING LLJ OVER THE AREA...THERE COULD
LIKELY BE SOME SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS ONGOING ACROSS THE AREA COME
12Z FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY NORTH OF I-20. THE DEEPENING SFC LOW BY 12Z
FRIDAY WILL BE AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE OK/MO/AR BORDERS. DURING
THE DAY...THIS LOW WILL LIFT OFF TO THE NORTH AND EAST AND BE NEAR
THE GREAT LAKES REGION BY 00Z SATURDAY. AS IT DOES THIS...IT WILL
DRAG A COLD FRONT SOUTH AND EASTWARD ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS THROUGH
FRIDAY NIGHT AND INTO EARLY SATURDAY.

THERE CONTINUES TO BE SOME LOWER LEVEL CAPPING IN PLACE OVER THE
REGION FOR MUCH OF THE DAY FRIDAY AND THIS COULD LIMIT ANY SORT OF
CONVECTION THROUGH SOME OF THE AFTERNOON BUT FEEL THIS IS NOT VERY
STRONG AND COULD BE EASILY OVERCOME. WE WILL HEAT UP AGAIN AS HIGHS
SHOULD REACH INTO THE UPPER 70S AND LOWER 80S DURING THE AFTERNOON
WITH GOOD SOUTHERLY WIND AT THE SFC. AS THE COLD FRONT
APPROACHES THE DELTA BY LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY
EVENING...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE
AREA...MOST LIKELY IN THE FORM OF A SQUALL LINE. GIVEN GOOD LOW
LEVEL AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR VALUES...GOOD LAPSE RATES...PLENTY OF
INSTABILITY...GOOD HELICITY...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS WITH ALL SEVERE HAZARDS POSSIBLE ANYWHERE FROM LATER
FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT AS THE COLD FRONT AND
ASSOCIATED SQUALL LINE PUSH THROUGH THE CWA. IN ADDITION TO THE
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS...HEAVY RAINFALL MAY BE A CONCERN AS
WELL. GIVEN A GOOD LLJ IN PLACE AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING LINE
ALLOWING FOR GOOD MOISTURE TRANSPORT(50-55KTS ACROSS CENTRAL AND
EASTERN MS BY 06Z SATURDAY)...AS WELL AS SOMEWHAT WEAK CORFIDI
VECTORS(AROUND 10KTS IN EAST MS)...THIS COULD LEAD TO SOME SLOWER
MOTION AND LOCALLY HEAVIER RAINFALL. GIVEN WE HAVE SEEN QUITE A LOT
OF RAIN THIS MONTH...WILL INCLUDE MENTION OF THIS IN THE HWO.

THE TIMING OF THE FRONT THROUGH THE AREA IS JUST A LITTLE DIFFERENT
ON EACH MODEL WITH THE ECMWF AND THE NAM BEING SLOWER THAN THE GFS.
ALL SHOW SOME POST FRONTAL RAINS WHICH SHOULD LINGER THROUGH EARLY
SATURDAY MORNING BEFORE MOVING OUT BY THE AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES
BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BE MORE SEASONAL FOR SATURDAY AS A DRIER
AIRMASS MOVES IN. THE UPPER TROUGH WILL SWING THROUGH AND HIGH
PRESSURE WILL PUSH IN AT THE SFC BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT.
SPRINGLIKE TEMPERATURES AND DRY WEATHER WILL REMAIN THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AND INTO THE FIRST PART OF THE NEXT WEEK AS HIGH PRESSURE
REMAINS AT THE SFC AND RIDGING ALOFT. ANOTHER TROUGH SWINGS THROUGH
MID-WEEK...BRINGING SOME ISENTROPIC LIFT AND SHOWERS AROUND
WEDNESDAY.

OVERALL...GUIDANCE NUMBERS GENERALLY ACCEPTED. POPS CAME IN HIGH FOR
FRIDAY NIGHT BUT CANT REALLY ARGUE WITH THIS AS THIS TIME PERIOD
SHOULD BE OUR BEST CHANCE TO SEE RAIN. /28/

.AVIATION...

MIX OF VFR/MVFR CIGS ACROSS MOST TAF SITES WITH KMEI OBSERVING IFR
CIGS BUT SHOULD IMPROVE TO MVFR NEXT HOUR OR SO. MIXTURE OF HIGH MVFR
TO VFR CIGS WILL BE ONGOING THROUGH TODAY. STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS NRN AND CNTRL TAF SITES THIS AFTN/NGT WITH
STRONG WINDS...HAIL...AND TORNADOES POSSIBLE (ESPECIALLY TOWARDS
KGTR). EXPECT HIGH TURBULENCE 30 KFT AND BELOW IN VICINITY OF STORMS.
STORM TOPS COULD REACH UPWARDS OF 40 KFT. BRIEF IFR CONDITIONS WILL
BE POSSIBLE IN THE HEAVY DOWNPOURS. S/SW SFC WINDS OF 10-15 KT AND
GUSTS TO 25 KT WILL OCCUR THIS TODAY THEN VEER SW/W TONIGHT AS FRONT
SLOWS AND STALLS WITH STORMS WEAKENING BY 06Z TONIGHT. WINDS MAY
BRIEFLY BECOME NRLY ACROSS NRN SITES 08-14Z THURSDAY BEFORE QUICKLY
VEERING SRLY BY THURSDAY NIGHT AS MIXED IFR/MVFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE
WITH SCATTERED TSRA. STORMS AND ASSOCIATED REDUCED CIGS/VIS WILL BE
TIMED IN ACCORDINGLY THIS AFTN/NGT. /ALLEN/
