NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 22, 2:52 PM CST, 2 hours 13 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 352 PM CDT Mon Jul 22 2019 .DISCUSSION... The rest of today through tomorrow.. With the exception of a few isolated cells, storms have remained out of our region in both the north and the south. However, that should change over the next few hours, especially in the northwest as coverage should begin to increase ahead of an approaching cold front. The atmosphere will remain unstable enough to support a few strong storms in the northern portions of the region this afternoon but this window will close as we lose daytime heating this evening. Rain and storms will continue to move into the region from the north this evening and into tomorrow as the front continues to drop into the region from the north. The heaviest rain rates will exist just ahead of the frontal boundary but storms and showers should have enough forward motion to prevent any notable flash flooding concerns. However, can't count out some localized flash flooding if some training occurs. Cold air will begin to advect into the region behind the front. The continuing cold air advection in the north and cloud cover and showers in the south will help to keep temperatures well below average through the day tomorrow with highs only getting into the lower 80s areawide. Clouds will begin to clear from the NW throughout the day and areas north of the I-20 should be clear by tomorrow evening. Tuesday night through Sunday: Come Tuesday evening the cold front is expected to be south of our CWA but anafrontal precipitation will continue falling over our southeast for several hours before tapering off. Northwest flow aloft will help a >1020mb high drop over the Central Plains and bring a cooler and much drier airmass into our CWA. By Wednesday morning our PWATs will have been knocked down to below three quarters of an inch areawide and surface dew points will range from the upper 50s northwest to the lower 60s southeast. This will result in dry weather and cooler than normal temperatures that will last until Friday afternoon. Our normal highs run in the lower 90s. Highs Wednesday and Thursday will be in the 80s with a few sites reaching 90F Friday afternoon. Morning lows normally run in the lower 70s. Morning lows Wednesday will be in the low to mid 60s. Lows each morning will be in the 60s as it will take until Sunday morning before most of the area bottoms out in the lower 70s. Northerly flow aloft will continue over our region through Friday but the surface high to our north will shift east through the period. This will result in a light return flow Friday that will begin to increase low level moisture enough over our southern zones to produce isolated storms during the afternoon and early evening hours. Deep moisture will continue to slowly increase from the south through the weekend with PWATs back above an inch and a half arewide by Saturday evening. This is expected to lead to a greater coverage of isolated to scattered mainly afternoon and evening storms over our CWA Saturday and Sunday. /22/ && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF discussion: Sites around the region will be impacted by TSRA, RA,and low CIGs throughout the 24 forecast period as a cold front moves through the area from the north. Confidence is high that MVFR conditions will prevail through out the day but some sites may drop to IFR briefly as storms begin to move in. Winds behind the front will be from the north therefore, some site can see gusty winds in the morning. Also, some light patchy fog may develop in the southern part of the region just before sunrise tomorrow morning./JNE/ && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
