AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
835 PM CST SUN MAR 2 2008

...SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK MONDAY LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING
INCLUDING TORNADOES...

DISCUSSION: THINGS STILL ON TRACK FOR MON AFTERNOON/EVENING AND
LOOK VERY OMINOUS! NEW 00Z NAM HAS ARRIVED AND IS NEARLY IDENTICAL
TO THE PREV RUNS ON TIMING AND CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION. IF ANY
THING...IT IS A TAD STRONGER AS THE SFC LOW IS DEEPER...THUS MAKING
THE LLJ A TAD STRONGER. I`M NOT SURPRISED THE SFC LOW IS A BIT
DEEPER AND FULLY EXPECT THE 00Z GFS TO FOLLOW SUIT. THIS IS TOO MUCH
OF A POWER HOUSE SYSTEM TO KEEP PRESSURE >1006-1009MB. I CAN EVEN
SEE PRESSURE GET LOWER THAN WHAT THE NAM/EURO ARE ADVERTISING WITH
VALUES CLOSER TO 1000MB ACROSS THE CWA.

I`M BECOMING VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE 21-00Z WINDOW AS THE NAM/GFS
ALL INDICATE PRE-FRONTAL CONVECTION. YOU CAN VISUALIZE THINGS BETTER
WITH THE NAM B/C OF THE 21Z TIME STEP. THE MAIN THING IS THEY BOTH
INDICATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUPERCELLS IN ADVANCE OF THE MAIN SQUALL
LINE/FRONT AND MAY ACTUALLY BECOME A LARGE FAMILY OF SUPERCELLS THAT
RAPIDLY TRACK NE INTO/ACROSS THE CWA. I DID A LOCAL SVR WX CHECKLIST
FOR MLU AT 21 USING GFS BUFR SOUNDINGS AND GOT WHAT AMOUNTS TO THE
HIGHEST RANKING (EXTREME) WHICH IS RARE TO ACHIEVE (FEB 5 2008 ALSO
HIT IT) WHICH HISTORICALLY SUPPORTS A SIG RISK OF A HIGH END EVENT
WITH SIG TYPE TORNADOES. WHAT ALSO GETS ME CONCERNED IS WHERE THE
STORMS INITIATE...SW TO CENTRAL LA. THEY THEN WILL QUICKLY TRACK
ALMOST NNE INTO OUR W/SW CWA. THIS GIVES ANY SUPERCELL TIME TO
MATURE AND BECOME LONG LIVED. THOSE ARE THE WORST AS FEB 5 HAS
SHOWN. I CAN REALLY SEE A CORRIDOR ALONG THE TRACE AND ABOUT 50
MILES EITHER SIDE OF THAT BEING EXTREMELY FAVORABLE FOR SIG
TORNADOES BETWEEN 4-9 PM. MON HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A HISTORIC
TYPE SVR WX DAY AND ALL NEED TO BE WX CONSCIOUS.

AS FOR THE CURRENT FORECAST ELEMENTS...I RAISED TEMPS A BIT FOR THE
W HALF TONIGHT AS SFC WINDS ARE KEEPING THINGS WELL MIXED AND WE
SHOULD SEE CLOUDS STREAM IN LATER IN THE NIGHT. I ALSO ISSUED A WIND
ADV FOR THE W 2/3 AND A LAKE WIND FOR THE E REMAINING 1/3. AN
INCREASING PRESS GRADIENT AND GOOD MIXING WILL ALLOW FOR STRONG
WINDS DURING THE DAY. THE FLAT DELTA LAND ACROSS THE W/NW CWA WILL
SEE THE STRONGEST WINDS. EXPECT SUSTAINED 25-30 MPH WITH SOME GUSTS
35-45 MPH. THE E HALF WILL SEE 15-25 MPH SUSTAINED WITH GUSTS 25-35
MPH.

Very huge day ahead of us today and tommrow.

The 15% is surprisingly small...smaller than the MDT area (some of it is based on 45% wind)...

RUC sounding for Houston at 10 am still shows pronounced warm nose at 700 mb, so discrete cells less likely, but look at Natchez WRF sounding forecast for 6 pm. Possibly scariest looking sounding ever.

Except for that warm nose keeping individual cells from (probably) forming, HOU sounding would support tornadoes and supercells.


Note the EHI is almost 5 for Natchez...

The SPC might want to go High Risk with those numbers...

Lake Charles

That warm nose at 700 mb probably saves Houston from discrete supercells ahead of the front. A few hours of sun might overcome it, but we have low clouds and sprinkles beneath the cap.

Marginally severe wind gusts and small hail along the front, but not a major event. Unlike Eastern Louisiana, SE Arkansas, SW Tennessee and Mississippi, maybe reaching Alabama and Florida P'handle later.

El, could you explain the Natchez setup ? I´m not that experienced in reading soundings.

You mean that warm temps will produce skyrocketing tops ?

That explains why Watch 90 was only a Severe Thunderstorm Watch.
