Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jackson MS
239 PM CDT Sat Jul 9 2022
...HOT AND STORMY WEATHER EXPECTED THROUGH THIS EVENING...
.DISCUSSION...
Tonight and Sunday...A weakening in the ridge that's been over
the region this week, is allowing a trough to slowly settle south
and into the forecast area. As a result, a frontal boundary will
likewise sink south into and through the forecast area this
evening into Sunday. Thanks to the hot conditions, coupled with a
very unstable air mass over the area, and forcing from the front,
showers and storms will continue to develop ahead of the front
into this evening, with some convective organization possible
along the front itself.
A "Slight Risk" of severe storms exists across mainly northern,
central, and eastern portions of the CWA for the remainder of the
afternoon and into tonight. Some storms could be severe during this
time and produce damaging wind gusts between 60-70 mph. Elsewhere, a
"Marginal Risk" for isolated severe storms exists. Damaging wind
gusts will again be the primary concern with the most intense storms.
Rain chances will shift over southern portions of the CWA on Sunday,
as the boundary continues moving south. While northerly flow sets
up over the region in the front's wake, it unfortunately won't much
with the humid conditions as dew points will remain in the low and
middle 70s. That said, highs on Sunday will be slightly "cooler",
but they'll still warm into the lower 90s. Some late morning and
afternoon heat index values over areas mainly south of the
Interstate 20 corridor, could range between 106-110 at times. While
a "Heat Advisory" may be needed on Sunday for portions of this area,
it's currently a tough call to make as convection along the
front could be a big spoiler in conditions getting this hot. /19/
Sunday Night through Saturday...Upper ridging will continue to
retrograde into the Four Corners region with northerly flow aloft
across the Lower Mississippi Valley. A northern stream trough will
swing through the Northern Plains and into the Ohio Valley by
Tuesday. At the surface, a weak frontal boundary across northern
Mississippi will gradually ooze south towards the I-20 corridor
through Tuesday afternoon. This will keep diurnally driven rain
chances confined mainly along and south of the I-20 corridor
through early next week as drier air (mid 60s dewpoints) filters
into northern portions of the area. This will be the only
noticeable change behind the boundary as temperatures will remain
in the low to mid 90s. At the same time, a Tropical Upper
Tropospheric Trough (TUTT) and associated upper low is forecast to
shift into the Gulf of Mexico as it becomes sandwiched between
upper ridging. Weak surface low pressure may develop along the
Gulf Coast, which coupled with the TUTT, will lead to increased
rain chances across the Pine Belt on Tuesday. Cloud cover will
also keep temperatures here below the 90 degree mark.
By mid to late next week, the frontal boundary stalled in the
vicinity of the I-20 corridor will lift back north allowing deep
tropical moisture to return to much of the area. Continued influence
from the weakening TUTT along with the aforementioned moisture
return will allow for increasing rain chances Wednesday and
Thursday. Cloud cover will also keep temperatures in check, but the
airmass will be rather soupy. As with any summer storms, wet
microburst potential will need to be assessed on a daily basis. In
addition, locally heavy rainfall and isolated flash flooding cannot
be ruled out, especially across the Pine Belt. Will keep the
HWO/graphics clear of hazards for now as any flood threat will be
driven on the mesoscale and difficult to pinpoint at this timeframe.
A return to northerly flow late in the period may bring another
surge of drier air into the area late next week into the weekend
which would once again confine diurnally driven precipitation across
the southern tier. /TW/

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF discussion:
VFR flight categories will persist at area TAF sites through much
of the remainder of the day. Convection breaking out along and
ahead of a cold front that push into the area this evening, could
bring brief bouts of MVFR/IFR ceilings and/or visibilities to
sites from late afternoon into tonight. Some storms could be
severe and capable of producing damaging winds between 52- 61
knots. During early Sunday morning, low clouds developing across
much of the area, will result in flight categories falling to a
mix of MVFR/IFR status through much of the morning hours. /19/

On the evening of July 9, 2022, a cluster of thunderstorms was moving southeast across northern Hinds County. At approximately 9:39 PM CDT, a segment of the thunderstorm cluster resulted in rapidly intensifying winds at ground level. Damage from this corridor of enhanced wind, estimated to have maximum gusts to 80 mph, impacted initially near areas of the Castlewoods Country club near Castlewoods Boulevard, spreading outward primarily to the southeast. The damage across the area consisted primarily of trees down of varying varieties, some large. The most intense damage occurred near the golf course on the southeastern side of Castlewoods where numerous large pines were felled. Several homes in this area had minor to moderate gutter/siding damage along with numerous wooden fence segments blown over. Damage was noted to be divergent in nature, providing confidence in the straight-line wind nature of this event, from what was a likely downburst with rapidly descending winds that spread out upon reaching the surface. The corridor of damage continued east spreading out along highway 471 and southeast to just north of Grants Ferry Road with progressive reductions in damage, ending just beyond the highway where only small branches down and vegetative debris was found.
A home on Springhill Point was struck by lightning and caught on fire.
Shortly after midnight on July 10th, an intense microburst occurred around Grand Gulf in Clairborne county. This swath of damage started at the MS River near the Military Park and pushed south southeast to southeast and moved over the Grand Gulf Nuclear facility. Damage from this microburst was primarily in the form of uprooted or broken trees. Several hundred trees were damaged. Additionally, several power lines and poles were taken down. There was one camper that had a large tree through it. Several roads were blocked or blocked in multiple locations in this area. Roads that were blocked included Grand Gulf Road, Back Grand Gulf Road, Frazier Road and Bald Hill Road. Damage was consistent with peak winds in the 70-85 mph range. The damage swath was almost 5 miles long and rough 3.5 miles wide.
