Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jackson MS
1054 AM CDT SAT AUG 6 2016
.UPDATE...
The forecast is generally on track for today with no significant
adjustments necessary. Current weather analysis over the region
reveals a weak mesoscale vortex over eastern AR associated with
increasing thunderstorm coverage. Light NNW flow noted in JAN/LZK
soundings will support slow propagation of convective outflow from
this system into the ArkLaMiss region with the boundary serving as a
focus for new storm development this afternoon. Latest near term
guidance indicates higher rain chances along the Hwy 82 corridor this
afternoon and have continued to reflect this in the forecast update.
There is some modest microburst potential in the very hot and moist
airmass, so a few strong/severe storms will be a possibility, but
very little storm organization is anticipated. Also, progged heat
indices are still on track to meet heat advisory criteria. /EC/
&&
.AVIATION...All sites are VFR late this morning and expect these
conditions through the rest of the morning. Scattered SHRA/TSRA will
develop across the area later this morning into the afternoon hours.
The storms will bring brief lowering of flight conditions to
MVFR/IFR to affected sites. Expect the bulk of the thunderstorms to
dissipate by 01-02z this evening, but isolated storms will be
possible overnight. Patchy MVFR/IFR conditions will be possible
early Sunday morning./17/15/

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 345 AM CDT SAT AUG 6 2016/
SHORT TERM...Today through Sunday night...Another hot day is on tap
for the ArkLaMiss with high temperatures climbing into the mid/upper
90s as upper ridging continues to prevail. A heat advisory is in
effect for the entire area today. Moisture will increase across the
area through the afternoon hours with PWATS climbing above 2.0
inches across the entire area by this afternoon. Expect thunderstorm
activity to develop later this morning and continue through the
afternoon hours. As was the case yesterday a couple of storms could
become strong to possibly severe this afternoon. Expect the bulk of
the thunderstorm activity to diminish by this evening, but the
GFS/NAM indicate that some activity may continue during the
overnight hours. Will leave at least isolated chances for storms
into Sunday morning.
Moisture will continue to increase across the area on Sunday with
PWATS around 2.3 inches by Sunday afternoon. Expect the convection
to begin early on Sunday, and this will also help keep temperatures
down through the day. The hottest temperatures will occur over the
delta areas with highs in the mid 90s, while highs in the low 90s
are anticipated over the remaining areas. A heat advisory may be
needed mainly over the delta areas once again. With mid level lapse
rates of 5.5-5.8 c/km expect most of the activity to remain below
severe limits, but with abundant moisture heavy rainfall will be a
concern. The GFS suggest drier air will build in from the north
Sunday night around a deepening low that will develop to our east.
Will leave at least slight chance pops across much of the area
Sunday night, with overnight lows remaining in the mid 70s./15/
LONG TERM...Monday through the end of next week...The main focus
of the long term period will be on a broad, hybrid low to mid level
low pressure center expected to fester for a period of days just to
our east. Model consensus concerning this feature is reasonable
although detail differences in individual models could vary outcomes
in our region considerably. Of course the west-ward envelope of
solutions would spell much more rain potential for our region (and
even open the door for potentially heavy rain amounts affecting
portions of southeastern Mississippi). The eastward envelope of
solutions might conversely limit much of the rain potential to
eastern MS (with any heavy rain potential being much further east
than that) while dangerous heat could be allowed to quickly build
back into at least the western half of zones.
But these question marks really won't apply until Tuesday or
Wednesday. On Monday the cold front causing numerous area showers
and thunderstorms on Sunday will head toward the coast while washing
out. Slightly drier air coming down in the wake of the front should
reduce chances of rain for most, although the sunnier skies in
northern zones could allow heat to build. Still thinking the drier
air should keep heat advisory criteria from being met in all areas.
Tuesday is when moisture from the aforementioned hybrid low to our
east could start pushing back west into at least eastern
Mississippi, increasing precip chances for those areas. Further west
heat might potentially push back closer to advisory criteria,which
is an aspect to the forecast we will have to monitor closely.
By Wednesday the initial crux of the long term forecast (laid out
previously) will be in play. Confidence is reasonably high that our
region will not have to be dealing with a truly tropical system of
considerable strength but, as mentioned, confidence in breadth of
impacts of a potentially weaker and broader hybrid system is a
little iffy. It is possible that either heat issues or locally heavy
rain issues in the latter portion of next week will eventually need
to be included in the HWO. However, given stated uncertainty we
would rather watch model evolutions for another few cycles and
let model consensus in a particular solution grow. /BB/
