.AVIATION...
00Z TAF discussion:
MVFR cigs were still hanging on in the se at 2330Z but VFR conds
were observed elsewhere. CIGs wl lower to MVFR this evng and then
to IFR after midnight. IFR CIGs wl prevail through 14Z Thu before
gradually improving to VFR during the aftn. Local radars showed a
band of TSRA moving nne just west of GLH. This line will be slow
to shift east through Thursday affecting all TAF sites. Otherwise,
gusty s-sw wind 25-30kts can be expected through Thu aftn. /22/

.DISCUSSION...Through tomorrow...
A strong storm system will continue to impact a large portion of the
CONUS through tomorrow. As of early this afternoon, an impressive
~971mb surface low was located over western Kansas with a negatively
tilted mid/upper-level trough swinging through the Southern Plains.
The surface low will begin to fill as it occludes and lifts
northeast through tomorrow. A cold front is also draped from central
Arkansas through northwest Louisiana and will continue to slowly
push east through this afternoon into tonight. The forward progress
of the front will slow dramatically as it runs into surface ridging
centered over the Mid-Atlantic and wedged into northern Alabama with
better upper forcing also lifting away from the area. Several
hazards will be possible through tomorrow as the front slowly makes
its way through the ArkLaMiss region. The first hazard is already
ongoing in the form of strong gradient winds. Impressive pressure
falls, a tightening surface pressure gradient between the deep low
and East Coast ridge, and sufficient thermal mixing tapping into the
low-level jet will help support gusts upwards of 40-45mph across
much of the area. These winds will continue to be gusty heading into
the evening before gradually relaxing slightly overnight. The
current wind advisory and corresponding elevated wind threat in the
HWO/graphics is well placed and no changes are needed.
The next hazard will be the potential for severe thunderstorms late
this afternoon through the evening hours and then again tomorrow
afternoon. Latest visible satellite imagery indicates a number of
breaks in the low clouds across the area which has aided in a marked
increase in instability in conjunction with respectable low-level
ThetaE advection. Copious amounts of deep layer shear and 0-1km
shear and helicity will be supportive of severe convection, however
the stalling nature of the front and boundary parallel flow will
preclude a greater severe threat as convection becomes undercut by
cold pools. The greatest severe potential will exist over northwest
portions of the area where the strongest forcing/height falls will
be located. This is where several northeast bowing line segments are
expected to remain oriented favorably with 0-3km shear vectors to
support a threat for damaging wind and isolated line embedded
tornadoes. Will continue to advertise the ongoing slight risk area
through this evening with no additional changes needed. By tomorrow,
all the upper level forcing will have lifted well away from the area
with either neutral height tendencies or slight rises. This leaves
the drawn out surface front as the main forcing mechanism for
convection during the afternoon hours. While dewpoints and
instability will be higher compared to today, the lack of forcing
doesn't leave much confidence for more than an isolated to
potentially scattered severe weather threat. Forecast soundings also
reveal a large amount of dry air above the 850mb level which would
favor dry air entrainment issues in updrafts, especially considering
the lack of forcing. In addition, the trend in this morning's 12z
suite of hi-res CAM guidance was for an eastward shift into Alabama.
With that being said, confidence in tomorrow's severe potential is
rather low. The greatest threat is expected to reside in the
northeast portions of the CWA from Meridian to Columbus where the
current slight risk is located. Will also keep the current
HWO/graphics area the same, but further refinements to scale back
both the marginal and slight risk areas will be likely with future
outlooks.
Last, but definitely not least, will be the threat for additional
flooding issues in the Delta this evening. Training convection
within an anomalously moist airmass will become an issue as the
front stalls. While exact placement remains uncertain, the overall
consensus is that a swath of 1-3" of rain with locally higher
amounts is expected across the northwest Delta. This will only
exacerbate ongoing backwater flooding and could lead to additional
flash flooding issues due to already saturated soils. /TW/
Thursday night into Wednesday...The overall pattern will transition
to one with a mean trough axis over the eastern CONUS and
ridging/blocking over the west. This will result in cooler/drier
conditions for our region from Friday and linger well into next
week.
Before the pattern change, Thu evening our area will still be under
the influence of SW flow aloft and lingering short wave energy to
keep enough moisture/instability to support showers/storms. Much of
the favorable ingredients will be missing. The short term discussion
above covers this and with low confidence, feel any threat may only
linger until rough 8-9pm. For the remainder of the night and into
early Fri, some rain looks to linger as the actual cold front slides
SE through the forecast area. Rain chances will shift south and out
of the area by midday with only a low end change some light activity
may slip back into the Pine Belt Fri evening.
The remainder of the forecast will see below average conditions.
Sunday morning conditions are looking more favorable to support some
frost and a light freeze over our traditional cold locations in our
NE. Look for some gradual moderation each day with another
re-enforcing cool front sometime later Monday. /CME/
