Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 624 AM CDT Mon Mar 30 2020

UPDATE. Updated for 12Z aviation discussion

AVIATION. 12Z TAF discussion: VFR through at least the next 6 hrs in most locations. Some light sprinkles out there, but mostly a cirrus sky. Light and variable winds under the ridge, becoming increasingly easterly through the day. Precip chances increasing through the afternoon and into the evening, but will be scattered in coverage early. Next main concern for avn is the development of showers/possible thunderstorms tomorrow night.

DISCUSSION.

Today and tonight . A narrow high pressure ridge remains in place for the the lower Mississippi Valley and Central Gulf Coast today. Weak high pressure not enough to keep a few showers from popping up over the northern tier of the state this morning. Little more than sprinkles are expected in most locations. Winds are generally very light under the ridge, and mid and upper level moisture streaming clouds across the region ahead of a developing storm system to the west. Cloudy conditions will keep the daytime highs mainly in the 70s . with lower 80s closer to the coast.

Forecast gets more complicated moving into the overnight hours. A shortwave aloft moves out of the Southern Plains this afternoon/evening, with its associated developing surface low. Models have developed some showers and thunderstorms out across the state later this afternoon ahead of the low. Storms will be well north of the front stalled off the coast, and not have access to much in the way of surface based instability. Continued easterly flow because of the surface ridging in the eastern Gulf also assists in delaying any theta-e advection ahead of the low. The larger concern develops later in the evening as the frontal boundary/richer BL moisture finally surges northward. Models delay this until closer to 06z . bringing a narrow window of severe storm development to the overnight hours tonight/early Tuesday. Thunderstorm development north of the boundary will be a concern for wind and hail, elevated and tapping into cooler air. Once the developing front starts to lift through the region, shear is also increasing within the warm sector, adding a vertical assist to any ongoing convection. This severe threat is contingent on many moving parts, but the model runs are starting to show a little more continuity from run to run. Will be mid morning Tuesday until the storms clear out of the forecast area.

Tuesday morning through the weekend .

Storms associated with an upper level disturbance sweeping through the Mid Mississippi River Valley will be ongoing as we start our day on Tuesday. The severe weather threat will have shifted to areas east of the I-55 corridor. Ample deep layer shear will exist throughout the region with the best instability values being relegated to areas south the I-20 corridor. The decision was made to extend the slight risk further east to highlight the continuing threat Tuesday morning and to match better with our neighbors who have been outlooked in the Day 2 period. The main threat with storms on Tuesday morning will be damaging straight line winds, hail, and tornadoes.

The surface front will be east of the region by Tuesday afternoon with the severe threat waning before midday. A cooler airmass will begin to filter into the region Tuesday evening and lows on Wednesday morning will fall into the 40s areawide as a surface high becomes centered over the region. Dry weather will continue through the rest of the workweek as an upper ridge builds overhead. Temperatures will be back above normal by Thursday as the high shifts east of the region with the ridge still overhead. Although model guidance begins to fall out of consensus as the weekend approaches, most guidance increases rain chances over the region during the weekend as another surface front approaches the region from the west.
