AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
958 PM CDT THU MAR 31 2016
.UPDATE...
THE SEVERE WEATHER AND FLOODING THREATS ARE DIMINISHING THIS EVENING
AS THE BULK OF THE MCS IS NOW PUSHING INTO AL WITH LINGERING
CONVECTION OVER NE LA INTO CENTRAL MS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE SYSTEM.
THE CONVECTIVE WATCHES HAVE BEEN CANCELED BUT THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE
A VERY MINIMAL THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER OVERNIGHT WITH THE CURRENT
ACTIVITY DUE TO STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND ROUGHLY 500-1000 J/KG OF
MUCAPE. IN ADDITION...VERY MOIST AIR AND LARGELY PARALLEL DEEP LAYER
WINDS WILL PROMOTE SOME LOCAL TRAINING OF CONVECTION AND A CONTINUED
LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN THREAT SO WILL CONTINUE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH
ABOUT THE SAME AREA OF LINGERING CONVECTION. /EC/
&&
.AVIATION...EXPECT IMPROVING CONDITIONS OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS WE
SEE DIMINISHING OF THE CURRENT SHRA/TSRA ACTIVITY WITH DRIER AIR
MOVING IN FROM NW TO SE FRIDAY. HOWEVER...THE HBG AREA WILL SEEN RAIN
CHANCES AND LOWER CLOUD CIGS PERSIST FRIDAY DUE TO ANOTHER UPPER
LEVEL WAVE MOVING ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. /EC/
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 340 PM CDT THU MAR 31 2016/
ORIENTATION OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY PARALLEL TO THE FLOW ALOFT WILL
MEAN A SLOW SOUTHWARD PROGRESSION FRIDAY. BOUNDARY DOES NOT LOOK AS
THOUGH IT WILL CLEAR THE AREA UNTIL FRIDAY AFTERNOON...BUT SOME
OVERRUNNING SHOWERS LOOKS LIKE A POSSIBILITY UNTIL THE DEPTH OF DRY
AIR CAN INCREASE BY FRIDAY NIGHT.
GOING FORWARD INTO SUNDAY...MID LEVEL LOW WILL REMAIN ANCHORED OVER
TX RESULTING IN CONVERGING FLOW AND BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE AT THE
SURFACE. THIS HIGH PRESSURE AREA LOOKS TO SET UP NICE WEATHER OVER
THE AREA THROUGH MONDAY WITH SOME REINFORCEMENT OF THE DRY/COOL AIR
OVER THE NE BY TUESDAY NIGHT/WEDNESDAY MORNING./26/
