Damaging Wind in Mississippi, August 5, 2015

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
401 PM CDT WED AUG 5 2015

.DISCUSSION...

THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...

MOISTURE CONTINUES TO INCREASE AND THIS IS RESULTING IN INCREASED
HEAT STRESS AS WE GO INTO THURSDAY. HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL BE HIGH
ENOUGH TOMORROW TO WARRANT THE ISSUANCE OF A HEAT ADVISORY FOR THE
DELTA REGION.

MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO BE ON THE INCREASE THURSDAY AS A STRONG
SHORT WAVE MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. THIS ALONG WITH PWATS AROUND 2.0
INCHES SHOULD ALLOW FOR DECENT CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS ACROSS
MAINLY EASTERN ZONES. SOME STORMS COULD REACH SEVERE LIMITS TOMORROW
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AS THE SHORT WAVE MOVES SOUTH EXPECT THE
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO DIMINISH BY THE EVENING HOURS.
MID/UPPER LEVEL HEIGHTS WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT
INTO FRIDAY WITH VERY WARM OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID 70S. /15/27/

FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...THE MAIN FOCUS THROUGH THE LONG TERM
REMAINS THE NEAR RECORD HEAT BUILDING THROUGH THE WEEKEND COMBINED
WITH ENOUGH HUMIDITY TO RESULT IN DANGEROUS HEAT INDEX VALUES.
FRIDAY A SUBTLE SHORTWAVE WILL ROUND THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF A
BROAD HIGH CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THIS FEATURE ALONG
WITH DAYTIME HEATING AND OUR MOIST AIR MASS WILL LEAD TO AT LEAST
ISOLATED COVERAGE OF STORMS OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF OUR CWA. A FEW
OF THE STORMS WILL BE STRONG AND CAPABLE OF WIND GUSTS TO 50 MPH.
THE ASSOCIATED CLOUD COVER SHOULD HOLD AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE MID
90S OVER OUR EAST BUT WARMER TEMPERATURES AND LOWER CHANCES FOR RAIN
ARE EXPECTED OVER OUR WEST. MAXIMUM HEAT INDEX VALUES ARE EXPECTED
BETWEEN 106 AND 110 WITH HIGHEST VALUES OVER THE DELTA. SATURDAY THE
LARGE MID LEVEL HIGH WILL BEGIN SHIFTING EAST WHILE STRENGTHENING
OVER OUR CWA. ISOLATED AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING STORMS WILL BE
HARD TO RULE OUT OVER OUR EASTERN ZONES BUT GENERALLY HOTTER AND
DRIER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR OUR CWA. AFTERNOON HIGHS OVER MUCH
OF OUR WEST WILL BE AROUND 100F WITH UPPER 90S EXPECTED ELSEWHERE.
THESE TEMPERATURES WILL COMBINE WITH LOWER 70 DEW POINTS TO RESULT
IN HEAT INDEX VALUES BETWEEN 106 AND 110 AREAWIDE. THE TWO HOTTEST
DAYS OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD ARE STILL EXPECTED TO BE SUNDAY AND
MONDAY WHERE NEAR RECORD AFTERNOON HIGHS CAN BE EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF
THE AREA. RECORD HIGHS RUN IN THE LOWER 100S AT MOST LOCATIONS
SUNDAY AND MONDAY AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF REACHING AND EXCEEDING 100F
EACH DAY IS INCREASING ESPECIALLY OVER OUR DELTA REGION. BOTH THE
ECMWF AND GFS CONTINUE TO SHOW AN INTENSE LOW LEVEL THERMAL RIDGE
DEVELOPING OVER THE ARKLAMISS WITH H850 TEMPS IN THE 24-27 DEG C
RANGE. A FEW LOCATIONS MAY SEE SURFACE TEMPERATURES REACH THE 104 TO
107 DEG MARK...ESPECIALLY OVER THE DELTA REGION. AS THE HEAT PEAKS
EACH AFTERNOON DRIER AIR MAY MIX DOWN AND HELP OFFSET THE HIGH
HUMIDITY BUT...HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL LIKELY EXCEED 105 SUNDAY AND
MONDAY. A HEAT ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED THIS WEEKEND FOR MUCH
OF THE AREA AND AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING MAY BE NEEDED IF HIGHER
AFTERNOON HUMIDITY CAN BE MAINTAINED. BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW A
MORE SUBSTANTIAL SHORTWAVE DROPPING AROUND THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF
THE SUBTROPICAL HIGH TUESDAY. THIS SHORTWAVE WILL SUPPORT A SURFACE
LOW WELL TO OUR NORTHEAST BUT A WEAK ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT LOOKS TO
SAG INTO OUR CWA TUESDAY. NEITHER MODEL DEPICTS MUCH QPF WITH THE
FRONT BUT SLIGHTLY LESS OPPRESSIVE HEAT IS EXPECTED TUESDAY. /22/

&&

.AVIATION...ALL ACTIVITY SHOULD DISSIPATE SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET
LEAVING VFR CONDITIONS AT THE TAF SITES THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS. TOWARDS THE END OF THE TAF PERIOD MODELS HAVE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS MOVING INTO THE AREA BUT DUE TO LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE
EXACT TIMING HAVE LEFT OUT OF THE CURRENT TAF PACKAGE.
