NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 14, 3:17 AM CST, 5 hours 8 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 417 AM CDT TUE JUN 14 2016 .SHORT TERM...Today through Wednesday night...Convection has gotten off to an early start this morning over the ArkLaMiss Delta as scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms have already developed in close proximity to the weak mid level impulse. This impulse should continue to promote widespread convection across the forecast area today as it moves through a near tropical airmass during max heating. As has been the case the last couple of days and again today, the weak flow pattern and PWs above 2 inches will bolster the potential for locally heavy rainfall. Low DCAPEs and feeble lapse rates will continue to preclude wet microburst potential, however precip loading may still manage to crank out some locally gusty winds. A somewhat drier pattern appears to be in the offing beginning Wednesday. Mid/upper level ridging will begin tonight from the west. This looks to begin decreasing the high PW air and warming the column, especially in the lower levels. While a good coverage of convection will hang on in the east for Wednesday, it will be increasingly hard to come by in the west as low level capping builds. Despite decreasing PWs Wednesday, recent rainfall will help surface dewpoints hang on in the mid 70s during the maximum heating of the day. This with expected highs approaching 95 will create heat indices from 100 to 105 over northwest sections of the ArkLaMiss Delta. As ridging continues aloft, high heat indices will surely become a problem areawide in later periods./26/ .LONG TERM...Thursday through Monday...a large 591dam ridge spreading over our cwa from the southern plains will lead to the warmest two days of the long term period Thursday and Friday. Afternoon highs will top out mainly in the mid 90s Thursday and Friday. This heat will combine with a very moist air mass with pwats just shy of two inches to result in peak heat index values between 100 and 106 each afternoon. Since a heat index value of 105 is the value at which the body begins to succumb to heat related illnesses wl continue to mention this threat in the HWO. There will be a low chance of rain each afternoon over the eastern half of the cwa that may limit the duration of the heat but convection looks to remain very limited over the western half of our cwa. A mid level trough dropping over the eastern CONUS Friday will send an associated weak backdoor cold front into our northeast zones Friday evening. Slightly greater rain chances are expected Friday night as the front drifts southwest through the cwa. A few strong storms can be expected over the northeast portions of our cwa late Friday afternoon and early evening along and ahead of the cold front. Rain chances are still expected to end from the northeast Saturday as the cold front pushes south of our cwa by Saturday evening and a surface high to the northeast helps bring in a drier air mass to our region in the wake of the front. This will result in cooler temperatures Saturday and Saturday night. Dry weather and a warming trend is expected Sunday and Monday but there are considerable differences in the models with respect to the ridge to our west and the development of a closed low to our east. The GFS appears to be too weak with the ridge over the west and too far south in developing a closed low over the southeast CONUS by Saturday evening. The ECMWF has support from the Canadian in developing a closed low farther away from our region off the mid Atlantic seaboard while strengthening the mid level ridge over the central CONUS. The result will be warmer temperatures over our cwa Sunday into Monday but with lower relative humidity as the drier air from the northeast lingers over the region. /22/ && .AVIATION...Localized MVFR conditions this morning will give way to VFR ceilings by 14/15Z with scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms increasing from the west. This convection will briefly lower flight categories as it imapcts the TAF sites both this morning and this afternoon...lingering until 15/02Z. Thereafter, VFR ceilings can be expected through the end of the period./26/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
