AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 359 AM CDT WED JUL 9 2014 .SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT... THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY CURRENTLY LOCATED TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA WILL DROP SOUTH INTO THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY WITH PWATS CLIMBING TO NEAR 2.0 INCHES OVER MUCH OF THE AREA BY THIS AFTERNOON. WITH LITTLE UPPER SUPPORT EXPECT THE FRONT TO STALL ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING AND CONTINUE TO EXTEND ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT KEEPING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS THROUGH THE NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. WITH MARGINAL INSTABILITY AND WEAK SHEAR EXPECT THESE STORMS TO REMAIN SUB-SEVERE...BUT A STRONG STORM OR TWO LOOK POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING WITH DAYTIME HEATING. THE GLOBAL MODELS SUGGEST THAT WHATS LEFT OF THE BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO EXTEND ACROSS THE SOUTH CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE AREA THROUGH THURSDAY AND THIS WILL BE THE FOCUS OF MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE GFS INDICATES THAT DRIER AIR WILL BEGIN TO BUILD SOUTH INTO THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA BY THURSDAY EVENING WITH PWATS FALLING BELOW 1.5 INCHES.

AS WE MOVE FROM SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK ANOTHER ROUND OF UPPER JET ENERGY WILL CARVE OUT ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH WITH ITS AXIS JUST EAST OF THE REGION. THIS WILL SEND ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY AT OR NEAR THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE REGION EARLY NEXT WEEK. ONCE AGAIN ANY DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND JET ENERGY WILL STAY NORTH OF THE REGION...WHILE WE WILL HAVE INSTABILITY FOR DAYTIME HEATING AND THE BOUNDARY TO HELP FOCUS CONVECTION. A SERIES OF IMPULSE WILL CROSS THE REGION IN NORTHWEST FLOW. THERE MAY BE A FEW STRONG STORMS IN THE NORTH. LOW LEVEL TEMPS AT 850 MB WILL CLIMB BACK TO THE 27-29C FOR MONDAY INTO TUESDAY WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 70S...WHICH MAY LEAD US BACK TO SOME HEAT STRESS ISSUES.
