NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Feb 14, 3:50 PM CST, 2 hours earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 350 PM CST FRI FEB 14 2014 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...SHOWERS WILL BE EXITING THE CWA THIS EVENING AS THE FAST MOVING FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVES ON THROUGH. IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT ANTICIPATE CONCENTRATED COLD AIR ADVECTION...BUT NORTH WINDS WILL DIMINISH A GREAT DEAL BY DAYBREAK SATURDAY. THE POTENTIAL OF DECENT RADIATIONAL COOLING POTENTIAL BEFORE DAWN SHOULD ALLOW LOWS TO DIP BELOW FREEZING IN MOST AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF I-20...AND IN THE LOW TO MID 30S SOUTH OF THAT LINE. SATURDAY WILL BE A SEASONABLY COOL DAY WITH TEMPERATURES GENERALLY PEAKING IN THE 50 TO 55 DEGREE RANGE. SUNSHINE WILL PREVAIL IN MOST AREAS ALTHOUGH SCATTERED HIGH CLOUDS WILL AFFECT NORTHERN ZONES FROM TIME TO TIME. HIGH PRESSURE TRANSLATING EASTWARD QUICKLY BY SATURDAY NIGHT WILL ALLOW RETURN SOUTHERLY FLOW TO HOLD TEMPERATURES UP A BIT WITH LOWS ABOVE FREEZING IN MOST SPOTS...BUT STILL IN THE 30S. DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY AS STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION TAKES PLACE. HIGHS ON SUNDAY WILL BE A GOOD DEAL WARMER...RANGING FROM THE LOW 60S NORTH TO NEAR 70 ACROSS THE SOUTH. /27/BB/ .LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...MODELS AGREE THAT WESTERLY PACIFIC FLOW ALOFT AND A NORTHWARD SHIFT OF THE STORM TRACK WILL LEAD TO WARM AND MOIST SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW BENEATH AN INCREASINGLY CAPPED AIRMASS. BOUNDARY LAYER DEWPOINT TEMPERATURES GREATER THAN 60 DEG F WILL BECOME MORE LIKELY BY MID WEEK WITH TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO CLIMB WELL ABOVE CLIMATIC NORMAL. IN FACT...IF THE FORECASTED PATTERN IS REALIZED...THEN RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES MAY BECOME A POSSIBILITY BY THURSDAY. THE BEST CHANCES FOR RAINFALL SHOULD CENTER AROUND TWO SHORTWAVE TROUGH PASSAGES. THE FIRST WAVE WILL INDUCE MEAGER HEIGHT FALLS MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT AS IT SENDS A VERY WEAK COLD FRONT INTO NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA. THERE SHOULD BE ENOUGH LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND LIFT FOR PERHAPS A BROKEN LINE OF SHOWERS GIVEN THERE WILL BE CONSIDERABLY MORE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AVAILABLE...BUT THE SUBSTANTIAL CAPPING INVERSION WILL DEFINITELY BE A DETERRENT TOWARD GETTING MUCH DEEP CONVECTION. THE WEAK BOUNDARY COULD STALL AND PROVIDE SOME CONTINUED FOCUS FOR SHOWER DEVELOPMENT INTO TUESDAY...BUT FOR THE MOST PART RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CAP AND LACK OF SYNOPTIC LIFT WILL LIMIT RAIN CHANCES AS WE GO INTO MID WEEK. THE NEXT WAVE WILL APPROACH AROUND THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT TO THURSDAY TIME FRAME. THERE IS CONSIDERABLE SPREAD AMONG THE DETERMINISTIC GLOBAL MODELS WITH THE ECWMF FASTER AND STRONGER AND THE GFS FAIRLY FLAT WITH MORE EMPHASIS PLACED ON THE UPSTREAM WAVE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY AFFECT THE AREA NEXT WEEKEND. THIS UNCERTAINTY LEADS TO LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE DETAILS...AND HAVE OPTED TO FOLLOW A BLEND AND RAISE MEX MOS POPS A LITTLE TO GIVE SOME WEIGHT TO THE WETTER ECMWF SOLUTION. OVERALL...EXPECT AN UNSEASONABLY WARM WEEK WITH LIMITED HAZARDOUS WEATHER POTENTIAL. THE CAVEAT IS THAT IF THE MORE AGGRESSIVE ECWMF IS CORRECT THURSDAY...THERE COULD A LIMITED RISK FOR STRONG/SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. /EC/ && .AVIATION...A MIX OF VFR/MVFR CONDITIONS WILL EXIST AT SITES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING AS SCATTERED TO BROKEN CLOUD DECKS BOUNCE BETWEEN 1500-3500 FEET WHILE MOVING EAST ACROSS THE REGION AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. SHOWERS AHEAD OF AND ALONG THIS FRONT WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS INTO THE FIRST PART OF TONIGHT. MVFR/IFR VISIBILITIES WILL BE POSSIBLE AT SITES WHERE MODERATE...TO OCCASIONALLY HEAVY... RAINFALL IS OBSERVED...PARTICULARLY AT KGTR AND KMEI. WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL BE FROM THE SOUTH SOUTHWEST BETWEEN 10-15 KNOTS...BUT WILL BECOME NORTHWESTERLY...STILL BETWEEN 10-15 KNOTS...AFTER THE FRONT PASSES TONIGHT. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AT ALL SITES BY DAY BREAK SATURDAY MORNING. /19/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
