NWS Jackson, MS wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 25, 3:31 PM CST, 28 minutes earlier.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 431 PM CDT Tue Jun 25 2019 .DISCUSSION... Tonight through tomorrow night... A few showers and maybe an isolated thunderstorm or two will be possible this evening and into tonight mainly in the south where higher moisture values will continue to exist. Lows tonight will fall into the upper 60's for most of the region. The focus of the short term forecast will be on the evolving severe weather threat for tomorrow. A shortwave will approach the ArkLaTex tomorrow. Storms will initially develop along a surface boundary associated with the aforementioned shortwave trough. Slight W/NW flow in the upper levels will help push the storms E/SE towards our region where the atmosphere will be favorable for further storm development due to ample moisture low level lapse rates of 7-8.5 C/km and SBCAPE values of above 3,000 j/kg. However, there is enough uncertainty in the timing, location, and coverage of storms to only advertise a marginal risk of severe storms in the HWO. The best chance of storm coverage will exist in the western and northwestern portions of the region where storms have a better chance of reaching before we lose daytime heating. Straightline winds and hail will be the main threats with any storms that succeed in making it into our region. Thursday through Monday... The rest of the forecast period will consist of a typical summer pattern as a weakness increases in the large scale subtropical ridge over the southeast CONUS. Weak shortwave trough energy rotating around the Southern Plains high center will help to enhance diurnal convective precipitation over the ArkLaMiss region in the very moist airmass. For Thursday, deep layer flow will be seasonably weak suggesting pulse type storms, but convection could be a little more organized Friday into the weekend given slightly greater flow and influence from the trough. Throughout the long term, it looks like we will have fairly steep lapse rates/abundant instability supportive of wet microbursts... something to monitor as move more into the near term with these periods. Otherwise, temperatures/humidity will be near normal values with the threat for significant heat stress limited at worst. /EC/ && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF discussion: A cluster of thunderstorms continue to approach the region from the west this afternoon. Cloudiness will continue to increase ahead of these storms in the upper and lower levels. MVFR CIGs have already developed at KPIB and can be expected to spread into KHBG soon. There is greater confidence of thunderstorms impacting our southernmost sites this afternoon and evening. There was enough confidence to add -TSRA groups at both sites and VCTS at some other locations. VFR conditions will return tonight. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
