NWS Forecaster Discussion
Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 323 PM CDT Tuesday may 22 2012 Discussion... a large trough over the eastern Continental U.S. Is slowly moving north and east. The upper low is currently over east Alabama and the associated frontal boundary is stretching down to and across the Gulf Coast...triggering storms along it. The passing of the front means drier air for US. Dewpoints are in the 50s now and precipitable waters are below 1 inch across our area. The leftover moisture from the frontal passage has formed some scattered cumulus over the southern half of the County Warning Area. As the sun GOES down...the skies will clear. Forecast is fairly straightforward for the next few days or so. Wednesday...temperatures will warm to above normal again /mid to upper 80s/. A little shortwave moving over the County Warning Area could help trigger some isolated storms in the afternoon over the far southwest. Not very confident this will happen however. Thursday Onward...high pressure begins to build into the south. Temperatures will warm to the low to middle 90s by the weekend. The high pressure will hold for the next week until a disturbance moves into the area again. /10/ Long term... Thursday through next Tuesday... with high pressure at the surface...upper ridging will strengthen and remain firmly in place across the region during much of the forecast period. Any chances for rain during this time will be slim and confined to the afternoon hours during peak heating. Conditions will also warm through the period as highs climb into the lower & middle 90s heading into Memorial Day weekend. Meanwhile...lows each night will only fall into the middle and upper 60s. /19/ && Aviation... predominantly VFR conds will prevail over the next 24 hours. MVFR visibility restrictions may develop around sunrise at mei/hbg. Light nearly winds will continue through the rest of the day...gradually becmg nerly/Erly tomorrow morning. /Bk/ && Preliminary point temps/pops...
