AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 458 PM CDT FRI JUN 28 2013 ...SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING THEN NEAR/BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK... .UPDATE...THE SRN TIER OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NO. 385 HAS BEEN CANCELLED. THE REGION OF BETTER LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH CONVECTION OVER ALABAMA IS SHIFTING SOUTH OF THE WATCH AREA. NRN PORTIONS OF THE WATCH WILL CONTINUE AS THEY ARE IN CLOSER PROXIMITY TO STORMS THAT ARE PERSISTING ALONG THE REGION OF FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACHING SURFACE BOUNDARY. && .SHORT TERM... FRIDAY EVENING THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...SOME THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON ALONG THE REMNANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM STORMS EARLIER THIS MORNING IN NORTHERN MS AND ALSO ON THE CONVERGENCE AXIS OF THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY/COLD FRONT IN CENTRAL AR. THIS COLD FRONT WILL BE THE FOCUS OF MOST THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON TO EVENING AS INCREASING LIFT AND UNSTABLE CONDITIONS AND FLOW ALOFT WILL SUPPORT STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS TONIGHT. OVERALL POPS FOR TONIGHT STAYED CLOSE TO MAV GUIDANCE BUT HAD TO INCREASE POPS SLIGHTLY UP IN THE NW DUE TO APPROACHING LIFT FROM UPPER DISTURBANCE/COLD FRONT MOVING INTO THE REGION. HI-RES GUIDANCE DOES INDICATE MORE ROBUST DEVELOPMENT POSSIBLE ALONG THE COLD FRONT TONIGHT AS CAPPING ERODES TONIGHT. GUIDANCE SEEMED IN GOOD AGREEMENT OVERNIGHT FOR LOWS AND WENT CLOSE TO MAV. ALSO INCREASING SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE FRONT WILL BEGIN TO CLEAR CLOUDS FROM NW/SE TONIGHT AFTER 00Z SATURDAY AND SHOULD BE CLEAR OF MOST OF THE AREA BY AROUND 12Z SATURDAY. HOWEVER..THE COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN TO SLOW AND SOME CLOUD COVER/SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG/SE OF A LINE FROM MCCOMB TO MERIDIAN. DEEP UPPER TROUGHING OVER THE UPPER MS VALLEY/GREAT LAKES REGION AND ~100KT H3 JET WILL GRADUALLY PROPAGATE SOUTHWARD..AIDING IN DEEPENING THE UPPER TROUGH AND LEADING TO HEIGHT FALLS OVER THE ARKLAMISS REGION OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. H5 UPPER WAVE WILL INCREASE ISENTROPIC LIFT AND LEAD TO SOME CLOUDS ALONG THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES WILL BE CLOSE TO MAV IN THE LOW/MID 90S ON SATURDAY WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES ALONG AREAS IN THE NORTH. THIS WAVE WILL ALSO HELP CLEAR THE COLD FRONT OUT OF THE REGION BY SUNDAY MORNING. GUIDANCE SEEMS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THE FRONT BEGINS TO MOVE OUT OF THE REGION BY 00Z SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER SUNDAY AND MONDAY MORNINGS IN THE MID/UPPER 60S WHICH IS NEAR A BLEND OF MAV/MET GUIDANCE. INCREASING TROUGHING AND ISENTROPIC LIFT FROM UPPER WAVES IN THE NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT WILL INCREASE CLOUD COVER IN THE HIGHWAY 82 CORRIDOR ON SUNDAY. ANOMALOUSLY LOW HEIGHTS/DECREASING TEMPERATURES ALOFT WILL LEAD TO BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 80S IN THE NORTH TO LOW 90S IN THE SOUTH. INCREASING LIFT WILL LEAD TO SOME SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS IN THE NORTH ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON TO EVENING. INCREASING MOISTURE AND VERTICAL TOTALS APPROACHING 24-25 DEG C WILL SUPPORT SOME THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IN THE N/NE SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD WEAKEN BEFORE 00Z MONDAY. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD BE MOSTLY LIGHT SHOWERS/RAINFALL AT MOST. REST OF THE FORECAST IS ON TRACK AND PREVIOUS LONG TERM DISCUSSION IS ATTACHED. /DC/ .LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY...SLIGHTLY TO DECENTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES EXPECTED WITH AT LEAST SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL CHANCES FOR RAIN/STORMS THROUGH THE LONG TERM PERIOD. GOOD MODEL AGREEMENT CONTINUES TO INDICATE AN ANOMALOUSLY DEEP TROUGH ACROSS THE ERN CONUS WILL DEVELOP DUE TO STRONG BLOCKING INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC LATITUDES TOWARDS THE ERN CANADIAN MARITIME. CIPS ANALOGS CONTINUE TO SHOW -2 TO -2.5 STANDARD DEVIATION (STD) BELOW NORMAL H5 HEIGHTS IN CONJUNCTION WITH -2 STD BELOW NORMAL H85 TEMPS BEGINNING SUNDAY AND PERSISTING TO A VARYING DEGREE THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS THE TROUGH SLOWLY RETROGRADES WEST. THIS SET-UP WILL CERTAINLY FAVOR BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES BY 3-7F DEGREES SUN-WED TIME-FRAME WITH PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE. PRECIPITATION WILL BE TRICKY THROUGH THE FIRST HALF AS FAR AS EXACT TIMING WITH LOW-LVLS INITIALLY BEING LIMITED IN MOISTURE WITH PWATS AOB 1" SUNDAY AND SLOWLY CREEP UP TO 1.3" INTO WEDNESDAY UNDER CONTINUED NW FLOW. ALSO, THE POSITIONING THE TROUGH AXIS MAY BE A TOUCH TOO FAR WEST SUNDAY INTO PORTIONS OF MONDAY TO REALIZE FULL DYNAMIC LIFT WHICH WILL LIKELY BE FARTHER NE OF THE REGION. YET, TUESDAY AND ESPECIALLY IN TO WEDNESDAY THE TROUGH AXIS SHOULD RETROGRADE WEST, PLACING REGION IN MORE FAVORABLE SW FLOW AND ENTRANCE REGION OF H25 JET WITH BETTER LIFT VIA Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE SIGNALS. RAISED POPS ABOUT 10% OR SO IN LINE WITH THIS THINKING. THE ANOMALOUS TROUGH WILL BACK AWAY FROM THE REGION TO THE WEST THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY, ALLOWING FOR INCREASING H7-5 HEIGHTS BACK ACROSS THE REGION FROM THE EAST. AS THIS OCCURS AND WITH SFC HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CAROLINAS, DEEP GULF MOISTURE LOOKS TO INFILTRATE BACK INTO THE REGION WITH PWATS UP OVER 2", SETTING THE STAGE FOR DECENT SHOWER/STORM COVERAGE LATE INTO NEXT WEEK. /ALLEN/ && .AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON. ADDITIONAL SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE AREA AS AFTERNOON HEATING INTERACTS WITH RESIDUAL BOUNDARIES ACROSS THE AREA. THIS WILL BRING LOCAL MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS. A STORM AFFECTING A SPECIFIC TAF SITE IS LOW CONFIDENCE BUT HAVE INCLUDED VCTS IN TAFS AND AMENDMENTS NEEDED AS CONVECTION DEVELOPS. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE NW DELTA BY 09Z SAT AND AROUND HBG BY 21Z SAT. OUTSIDE OF TSTM ACTIVITY...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH SATURDAY. /28/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
