NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Nov 6, 4:19 PM CST, 1 hour 11 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS 419 PM CST FRI NOV 6 2015 .DISCUSSION...SOME LOCATIONS SAW A FEW BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS TODAY WHICH ALLOWED THE SUN TO PEAK THROUGH. SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE CONTINUED TO PLAGUE THE DELTA REGION THROUGH THE DAY AND ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING NORTH INTO THE SOUTH AND EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA. THIS IS ALL ASSOCIATED WITH AN INCOMING COLD FRONT THAT...OF THIS AFTERNOON...WAS ENTERING THE NORTHWEST DELTA AND WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY MOVE INTO THE ARKLAMISS REGION THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AS THIS OCCURS...THE MAIN UPPER SUPPORT FOR THIS SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO PULL OFF EAST AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE FRONT TO MOVE TOO EASILY THROUGH OUR REGION AND BECOME ORIENTED PARALLEL TO THE UPPER LEVEL SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW. WHILE MOISTURE TRANSPORT IS NOT EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH...THERE WILL BE ENOUGH TO BRING SOME ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE REGION LATER THIS EVENING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND INTO TOMORROW AFTERNOON. WITH ANY SHOWER OR STORM THAT CAN BRING EFFICIENT RAINFALL IN AN AIRMASS CHARACTERIZED BY NEAR 2 INCH PW VALUES OR LOCATIONS THAT SEE REPEATED RAINFALL...AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE WHICH MIGHT LEAD TO LOCALIZED FLOODING IN HIGHER RAINFALL RATE AREAS. RAIN LOOKS TO BEGIN TO TAPER OFF LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING ON SATURDAY AND PUSH MOSTLY OUT OF THE REGION COME SUNDAY AS THE FRONT PUSHES SLOWLY SOUTH. CAA WILL OCCUR AND BRING IN SOME COOLER AIR TO THE REGION SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK(AS WELL AS THIS WEEKEND THANKS TO THE RAIN AND CLOUDS). HOWEVER...TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE BY MID WEEK AHEAD OF OUR NEXT FRONT. THERE IS SOME POSSIBILITY THAT LINGERING MOISTURE WILL INTERACT WITH...WHAT SOME MODELS SHOW...A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING NORTH OUT OF THE NORTHERN GULF THROUGH TUESDAY. THIS COULD BRING A FEW SHOWERS TO MOSTLY THE EASTERN COUNTIES EARLY NEXT WEEK BUT MOST LOCATIONS WILL REMAIN DRY AHEAD OF OUR NEXT APPROACHING WEATHER SYSTEM SET TO MOVE THROUGH MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. /28/ && .AVIATION...A MIX OF VFR/LIFR CATEGORIES WILL CONTINUE AFTERNOON AS A RESULT OF LOW CLOUDS AND MODERATE TO OCCASIONAL HEAVY RAIN CONTINUING TO FALL ACROSS THE AREA. ALL OF THIS IS AHEAD OF AND IN THE WAKE OF AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY THAT'S CURRENTLY OVER SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI...AND A COLD FRONT THAT NOW MOVING INTO THE DELTA REGION. AS A COLD FRONT SINKS DEEPER INTO THE AREA THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT...IT'LL STALLS ACROSS THE AREA INTO SATURDAY. PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM THIS AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY. WINDS WILL BE SOUTHERLY TODAY BETWEEN 5-10 KNOTS...BUT WILL SWING AROUND FROM THE NORTH BEHIND THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT. /19/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
