...New DISCUSSION, AVIATION...
.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 323 PM CDT Tue Apr 9 2024
Busy near term with ongoing/unfolding flooding and severe weather
event. For an overall perspective, confidence in seeing flash
flooding across more locations is high while seeing severe weather
is more medium, but is really dependent on location ad the
position of the cold pool boundary. Southern areas is where
confidence in severe exists, while it becomes much less so as you
get along and north if I-20. Below is a break down of threats and
expectations.
Flash and River Flooding: Our NW areas are primed now from seeing 2-
5 inches over the past 24hrs. The next round is heading eastward
from NE Tx and will impact the W/NW and N-central areas tonight.
Efficient rain processes will exist with high quality moisture
advecting northward. Hi-res guidance has some variability on
specific locations and additional totals, but feel our current area
we have highlighted fits well and is where an additional 3-7 inches
is most likely through mid-day Wed. As noted earlier, we added the
SE portion of the FF Watch for Wed. This area has less duration, but
has greater potential to see high end to extreme precip rates with
the MCS. So the southern 3rd looks to see a quick 2-4 inches.
Overall, confidence in flooding is high. As we have been messaging,
there's also potential for higher end type flooding (significant)
where areas see the greatest accumulations and high rain rates.
Severe Threat: Potent weather system will be driving this potential
event and there looks to be a solid combination of elements to
support a robust type event. However, the details matter and there's
uncertainty in the details, thus confidence is more in the medium
range. Before we get to Wednesday, there's a threat for this
evening. Currently, a MCS is organizing in NE Tx and will evolve
eastward along the I-20 corridor. Damaging winds are the primary
threat with some tornado potential as well. Hail is a low
probability, but the more E it gets, hail chances lower. This will
serve to establish a boundary over the area which will have BIG
implications on storm evolution Wed. There's a decent signal in the
hi-res guidance for a MCS to evolve and push through the area
starting roughly 9am Wed and moving eastward through 5pm. The signal
is mainly for the south half of the forecast area as a qlcs type MCS
looks to move through. They key feature will be a cold pool boundary
that will get established from this evening/overnight storms. While
there remains some differences in position of the boundary, the
scenario of a more south boundary is favored. With strong forcing
and increasing divergence/lift, a surface low will deepen across the
area. This will serve to increase the wind shear and support
damaging winds and tornadoes. While a strong tornado is possible, it
is a lower probability due to instability issues. Greatest
confidence in the severe is the southern 3rd with a quickly
decreasing potential as you go northward to along and N of I-20. Due
to this and with coordination with WFO Memphis, we lowered the
threat levels across the north due to lower potential and low
confidence in severe.
Gradient winds: On final element to touch on, with the evolving MCS
Wed, there's been a signal for a "wake low" feature as the back edge
of the precip pushes east during the afternoon. These features are
very hard to predict, but a signal for one has been showing up. If
it does materialize, areas mostly N of I-20 could see a 1-2 hr
window where E or NE winds blow from 30-50 mph. /CME/
Friday through Monday: Overall, weather impacts will be
negligible in the longer range portion of the forecast. Dry and
subsident northwest flow and surface high pressure will bring
continued dry weather with seasonable temperatures as we finish up
the week and head into the weekend. By Sunday, we should see
ridging aloft result in a warmer weather regime with temperatures
getting back above normal. Most global model guidance indicate a
shortwave trough will begin to approach the region early next
week, so rain chances and breezier conditions will begin to return
by Monday. /EC/

A part of the metal roof on Cross Roads Baptist Church was blown off.
A line of severe thunderstorms produced a swath of significant damaging winds that was up to 3 to 4 miles wide and approximately 18 miles long across the southern half of Neshoba County. Along this swath, numerous trees and power lines were blown down. The Dixon and Good Hope communities were most impacted, with damage becoming more scattered on the south side of Philadelphia to near Tucker. Along this damage swath, several homes were impacted by fallen trees, the roof of a mobile home was displaced, the roofs of multiple outbuildings were damaged or blown off, a small barn collapsed, a shed was blown down, and two chicken houses sustained roof damage. Peak winds were estimated at 85 MPH in two areas of more focused damage - along County Road 339 north of the Dixon community and along County Road 341 and County Road 410 east of Dixon. Over two dozen homes were damaged including 21 which suffered major damage or were destroyed.
A line of severe thunderstorms produced a swath of significant damaging winds starting northeast of Forest in Scotty County. In this swath, thousands of trees and numerous power lines and power poles were blown down. Trees were uprooted and snapped. Over 50 homes were damaged by both fallen trees and wind, including 32 which suffered major damage or were destroyed. Several mobile homes were rolled and destroyed. Several sheds and garages were also destroyed. There were five injuries including two in mobile homes on Towner Road and McMillan Road and and three in a house on Jim Owens Road. The peak of the damage occurred just west of Salem road near Old Highway 80 north of Lake where tree damage was extensive and estimated peak winds were 100 mph. Damage continued into Newton County and through the south side of Conehatta where estimated peak winds decreased to around 85 mph with numerous trees uprooted. The significant wind damage ended northwest of Decatur. The swath length was over 15 miles across both counties, and its width varied between three to five miles. A 64-year old woman in the Harperville area died from health complications after power was lost at her home, and downed trees on surrounding roadways prevented her evacuation to medical care.
