####018004924#### FXUS64 KJAN 040901 AFDJAN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Jackson MS 401 AM CDT Sat May 4 2024 ...New DISCUSSION... .DISCUSSION... Issued at 400 AM CDT Sat May 4 2024 Today and Tonight: Early morning satellite imagery/RAP analysis showed our CWA in the wake of a departing shortwave trough. The result was drying aloft with nearly zonal flow across our CWA. This has led to less cloud cover and the development of fog across our CWA. Patchy dense fog was currently being observed but the areas of dense fog is expected toward morning warranting the continuation of a Dense Fog Advisory for the whole CWA. The 00Z JAN sounding had a PWAT near and inch and a half. Early morning surface analysis still had a weak ridge nosing across our CWA from the east. Flow around this ridge will help maintain low level moisture while models show deep moisture increasing back across our CWA today from the west. Subtle disturbances within the near zonal flow aloft is expected to combine with daytime heating and our moist airmass for isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms mainly during the afternoon. Although a strong storm or two cannot be ruled out, the main focus for severe storms will be to our west again today. This evening the convection will show a distinct diurnal trend and dissipate with the loss of daytime heating. Models do suggest some convective develop in our toward sunrise as a northern stream shortwave trough tries to drop a weak cold front close to our CWA. With a later start to the convection today, temperatures are expected to top out a few degrees above normal. Morning lows Sunday will continue above normal as well. /22/ Sunday: Continued rain and storm chances will be possible Sunday in the (30-50%) range as another short wave will pass through the area. Expect convection to be isolated to scattered as remnant storm activity in the high plains will be the main factor, as redevelopment will be possible in our area as heating occurs and instability increases by mid-day. Thus a marginal risk for severe storms has been added to the HWO with the main threats being isolated threat for damaging winds and hail. Monday through Wednesday: Expect above-normal temperatures early in the week, with heat persisting through mid-week. The mesoscale weather pattern shifts to the typical western trough to eastern ridge. As the ridge shifts eastward, southwesterly slow and surface ridging will help a strong surface high build into the ArkLaMiss region. THis will help low-level moisture to flow and keep surface temperatures well above normal. Minor rain and storm chances will hang around through mid-week in the (20-30%) range with there being a better storm environment in the far north that could produce better chances. Thursday and Friday: Come Thursday the forecast shifts as the potential for severe storms with Friday having higher confidence. Upper level troughing in the western plains will become negatively tilted and provide a source of multiple disturbances through late week. As a front pushes down into the region it is possible for some strong to severe storms to form along the front. For Friday the storm environment seems more conducive for severe storm production as lapse rates will steepen, increased moisture, shear and lift will all be present. Organized thunderstorms with the main threats being damaging wind and hail are anticipated. This event is possible however confidence isn't very high at this time as there is a good degree of uncertainty this far out in the forecast especially on timing. Following the cold front, much cooler temps will ensue going into next weekend. /KP/ && .AVIATION...

An upper level trough of low pressure will move across the Mid- Atlantic Region this weekend resulting in mostly cloudy skies, widespread showers, and a few thunderstorms. Rainfall amounts will be highly variable, ranging from a quarter of an inch, to as much as one inch. Temperatures will be lower today compared to Friday, winds from an easterly direction. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... As of 230 AM EDT Saturday... Key Messages: 1. Cool easterly wind today. Below normal high temperatures. 2. Widespread light to moderate showers through tonight with potential for 0.25 to 1.00 of rain. Slight chance thunderstorms. Cloudy skies observed across the entire forecast area this morning along with patchy light rain and rain showers. This will generally be the theme through tonight as lift associated with an upper level trough persists across the region. Daytime heating may provide enough CAPE to produce a few thunderstorms, but not expecting anything severe per cool easterly wind flow within the boundary layer. Models are hit and miss on the heavier QPF, advertising a large deviation in rainfall amounts, the SREF Plumes for many of our climate stations ranging from a quarter of an inch to as much as 1.5 inches through 8AM Sunday. The spread in the model data reflects the showery nature of the precip, but do think we partake in at least a quarter inch of much needed rain over the next 24 hours. Anything above that is a bonus. Wind flow today and tonight will be out of the east. This combined with mostly cloudy skies will keep temperatures muted today, down 15 degrees compared to Friday. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... As of 430 AM EDT Saturday... Key Messages: 1) Wedge of cool/damp air begins to erode slowly on Sunday as a strong short wave approaches from the southwest. 2) Warmer Monday with increasing chances for thunderstorms, The wedge of much cooler air that spreads into the region early Saturday will begin to erode slowly by Sunday afternoon. Temperatures will moderate back into the 70s for most areas except perhaps the far northeastern/northern portions of the CWA. Short wave ridging ahead of a vigorous short wave lifting northeast from the MidSouth will also help to warm conditions across the region by Sunday afternoon. Spotty, mostly light precipitation can be expected again Sunday, especially during the morning. By afternoon, enough instability should be present across most of the CWA for isolated to scattered thunderstorms, especially along/west of I-77. This disturbance and increasing amplitude of the upper flow/namely ridging in the eastern U.S. will help to lift the backdoor front/baroclinic zone back north toward the PA/MD/WV line for the first part of next week. Consequently, precipitation should become a bit more spotty and less organized going into Tuesday. Cool temperatures Sunday mostly in the 60s to lower 70s will moderate back into the 70s and 80s by Tuesday as heights rise aloft and the baroclinic zone lifts back north. This will in turn allow for more sunshine with breaks in the clouds more prevalent than during the Sun-Mon time frame. During the period of this forecast, severe weather is not expected with weak dynamics and increased ridging aloft. Rainfall amounts in the Sun-Tue time frame should average around 1/2 inch, which given the antecedent dry conditions is not going to cause any real flooding issues at this time. /Confidence Levels in Forecast Parameters/ - Moderate to High Confidence in Temperatures, - Moderate to High Confidence in Precipitation Probabilities, - Moderate to High Confidence in Wind Direction and Speed, - Low to Moderate Confidence in Thunderstorm Potential. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... As of 200 PM EDT Friday... Key Messages: 1) Confidence is moderate for chances of scattered showers and thunderstorms each day. 2) Temperatures will head warmer by the middle of the week. A stalled frontal boundary should still linger across the Mid Atlantic through the middle of the week. Several weak waves of low pressure will continue to track eastward along this boundary to continue a daily chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms. Meanwhile, ridging aloft and a southwest flow at the surface should increase warm air advection to push temperatures higher by Wednesday and Thursday. A cold front will approach the Appalachian Mountains sometime during late Thursday into Friday, which could spark a higher chance of convection. The models continue to struggle with depicting when this prolonged period of unsettled weather will come to an end beyond this point. && .AVIATION /09Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... As of 230 AM EDT Saturday... Cloud bases are lowering from the east. A cool easterly wind off the Atlantic Ocean will bring marine air as far west as the Blue Ridge resulting in a low IFR Cig today along with some partial ridge obscurations. Patchy light rain this morning will become more showery in nature during the day with light to moderate showers becoming widespread for the afternoon and evening. Thunderstorm threat appears too low to include in the TAFs attm but do think some of the more robust convective cells will contain lightning. The easterly wind over the area is shallow, observed from the surface up to about 3000 feet AGL. Above 3000 feet winds are out of the southwest...the winds above 3Kft providing the steering current for any deep convection...storm cell movement from SW- NE. Extended Aviation Outlook... SHRA/TSRA with periods of DZ, BR, and MVFR/IFR/LIFR conditions continue after 18Z Sunday. More diurnally driven -SHRA/TSRA are expected Monday through Wednesday. This will bring periods of MVFR ceilings and visibilities at times. Winds Monday through Wednesday will be SSW and gusty at times. && .RNK WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... VA...None. NC...None.

KEY MESSAGES: - Night-time temperatures will drop below freezing in many areas tonight. - Unusually warm conditions are expected on Sunday, but the southeast winds will be quite strong, with gusts into the 40s in many places. - Another round of rain is expected starting Sunday night through at least Thursday. Ranges are looking on track to be around a inch and a half to 2 inches for many locations with moderate confidence(50-70%). WEATHER PATTERN OVERVIEW: Storm system that brought the brisk cool conditions today will pull into eastern Canada from western Ontario and allow winds to go light and variable while skies will clear. This will allow temperatures to fall into the 20s for most places. Sunshine will return Saturday and will be a pleasant day with light winds. However, winds will increase from the southeast as strong low pressure moves in from the Pacific NW. Look for increasing and thickening clouds Saturday Night with rain showers moving in Sunday Night. A steadier rain will move into parts of the area Monday but a dry slot may limit heavy rain potential next week. Models are still not specific on timing and amounts yet. (from previous discussion) There is a small chance (5-20%) that some of these thunderstorms could become severe, but with overnight convection being the main periods of interest there will be no insolation and severe weather will likely not occur. Will need to monitor SKEW- Ts in these periods as they get within CAM model ranges for further scrutiny. Tuesday through Thursday night: Closed low will migrate northeastward and start to cut off from the warm air. However, this just means that most of the convective elements will become mainly stratiform. Main problem here onward is that positioning of the low is in question with a range for its center position from South Dakota all the way up to southern Saskatchewan. The low looks to generate a trowal in most models which will bring a heavy amount of rain to areas directly under or behind it. The majority of the ensembles place this over eastern Montana which could easily generate 1 to 2 inches to the area it hits. This feature has remained consistent over the last 48 hours raising confidence to moderate(50-70%). Friday onward: A new ridge looks to move into the area which will raise temps and dry conditions out. TFJ && .AVIATION... LAST UPDATED: 0830Z FLIGHT CAT RANGE: VFR DISCUSSION: Clouds will diminish this morning with a deck hanging on just northeast of KOLF-KSDY. This afternoon will feature mainly clear skies with increasing high to mid clouds tonight. LLWS: Some low level wind shear will be possible (10-30% chance) across northeast Montana from 07-12Z, but it currently does not look to affect any of the four main terminals directly. WIND: Light and variable through the morning. Becoming southerly at 5 to 10 kts this afternoon. Then veering SE to E and increasing to 5 to 15 kts this evening through tonight.

(Today through Sunday) Issued at 322 AM CDT SAT MAY 4 2024 Despite several rounds of showers with embedded thunderstorms the past few days, rainfall amounts have been sparse for most areas. It looks like this trend will continue through the weekend with somewhat disorganized showers and thunderstorms each day. For this morning, radar imagery shows an upper low over Central Alabama near the I-65 corridor. On the back side of the upper low, skies have cleared over eastern MS and western AL. Fog has developed in these areas and a dense fog advisory may be needed for the far western counties of Central Alabama. Scattered to numerous showers with isolated thunderstorms will continue on the eastern side of the upper low, with the activity shifting out of east Alabama by late this morning. Some convection on the southwest flank of the upper low may develop this afternoon, and kept higher pops across the northeast counties. Only isolated convection expected overnight and into Sunday morning. Diurnal heating on Sunday may bring a slight increase in afternoon thunderstorms, with models hinting at a disturbance over northern MS Sunday afternoon, possibly impacting the northwest counties of Alabama later in the day. 58/rose && .LONG TERM... (Sunday night through next Friday) Issued at 322 AM CDT SAT MAY 4 2024 A weak southern stream shortwave currently along the Arizona/Mexico border will trigger considerable convection along the West Texas dry line today, eventually growing upscale into an MCS across Central Texas. The resulting MCV/shortwave trough will reach Alabama by Sunday evening, triggering scattered to numerous showers and storms with PWATs near 1.75 inches, though any heavier rainfall will be very isolated. Some of this activity may linger into Monday morning in the northeast counties. Depending on how quickly the shortwave exits to the east, subsidence may suppress convection across much of Central Alabama Monday afternoon or at least keep it isolated to widely scattered. This may warrant a decrease in PoPs in later updates. Another shortwave moves through Monday evening but will be much weaker as ridging builds over the eastern CONUS, with only slight chance PoPs in the forecast. Meanwhile a deep trough will be digging across the western CONUS and Plains with ridging building further east. A subtropical ridge will also be strengthening over the southwestern Gulf. Rising 500mb heights across Central Alabama will be a limiting factor for convection on Tuesday, though some guidance does indicate a pre- frontal moisture axis that could trigger isolated to widely scattered convection. Strengthening low-level southwesterly flow will result in warming temperatures. The mid-level ridge axis pushes east of the area Wednesday as the trough becomes positively tilted from Ontario towards the Four Corners, but mid-levels remain warm and fairly dry limiting convective development. Meanwhile a stalled out front just northwest of the Ozarks may begin to advance as a cold front Wednesday night in the wake of low pressure moving through the Ohio Valley. One or more MCSs will probably develop off to our northwest. Will have to keep an eye on them towards the overnight hours given increasing bulk shear, though they may remain just north of the area given westerly flow aloft and better height falls remaining north of the area. Mid-level troughing remains over the Midwest and Great Lakes Thursday while weakening further to the west. The ridge over Central Alabama will begin to flatten by Thursday night. A fairly strong cold front for May will begin to move in by Thursday night. A strong EML and associated steep mid-level lapse rates will result in a very unstable air mass south of the front with 0-6km bulk shear values around 50 kts. This will result in the potential for large hail and damaging winds with any storms or MCSs that develop. Limiting factors will be whether any leftover cold pools from Wednesday night's MCS(s) limit destabilization, and a tendency for better forcing to remain north of Central Alabama. Still, will need to monitor the potential for severe storms and heavier rainfall as we get closer and the mesoscale details become clearer. Models vary regarding how quickly the front clears the area Friday, but it does look like we should see some pleasant spring weather by next weekend after we get through summer-like conditions the next few days. 32/Davis && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1228 AM CDT SAT MAY 4 2024 A moist low level air mass will persist over Alabama thru 15Z. An upper level low currently over Alabama will produce sct to nmrs mostly light showers along and east of I-65 thru 18Z, with sct shwrs and isolated TSRA east of I-65 after 18Z.

Issued 401 AM CDT Sat May 4 2024 Today through Sunday: Synopsis/Mesoanalysis: Early morning surface observations place a surface cold front along an approximate Wichita, KS to Omaha, NE to Rochester, MN axis. Regional radar mosaics show a line of convection extending from southwest IA to northeast KS, with light to moderate rainfall covering much of northwest IA and southwestern MN. This activity has developed thanks to frontogenetic forcing from the aforementioned surface front, as well as upper divergence within an upper jet streak currently analyzed from the Northern Plains to Lake Superior. This area of precip will continue to pivot northeast toward the Mississippi River through sunrise, gradually weakening as it drifts off the most favorable upper jet dynamics & encounters a more stable air mass with eastward extent. A weak surface low will organize over central IA this morning, dragging the previously mentioned cold front across southern Wisconsin later this afternoon and evening. Scattered shower and thunderstorm redevelopment is anticipated along the advancing surface boundary, with the bulk of activity expected to focus near and east of the Interstate 39 Corridor. While widespread severe weather chances are low, an isolated strong to severe thunderstorm can't be ruled out. Precip chances will quickly shift east with the departing surface front this evening. Shortwave ridging will become established in the mid- levels over the Northern Plains on Sunday, with weak high pressure moving across the state at the surface. This will translate to pleasant & quiet weather tomorrow. Today: Anticipate that at least some of the rainfall currently ongoing to our west will survive to our western zones later this morning/early this afternoon. Given well-established weakening trends, don't envision any of this activity amounting to much more than scattered showers and perhaps an isolated thundershower. With the surface front discussed above pushing in from the west, and peak heating of the day beginning to be realized, anticipate scattered redevelopment of showers and thunderstorms moving into the mid to late afternoon hours. Given frontal positioning near or just east of the I-39 Corridor, most 00Z and 06Z CAM guidance suggests that said redevelopment will focus over the eastern half of the area. While widespread severe weather is not expected, an isolated strong to severe storm can't be ruled out given the presence of ~500-1000 J/kg of surface-based CAPE in a warm sector bounded by the advancing front and the westward-mixing lake breeze. A sampling of forecast hodographs depict modest & largely unidirectional shear profiles, with shear vectors oriented predominantly parallel to the approaching cold front. Thus expect a clustered/messy mode in any redeveloping storms, with hail and gusty winds being the primary hazards in any isolated strong/severe activity given the mid-level lapse rates and deeply-mixed boundary layers sampled in area forecast soundings. Keep an eye on the sky if planning to be outdoors this afternoon, and be sure to move inside if a thunderstorm approaches your area. Tonight: Precip chances will taper quickly this evening as the cold front pushes east of the region. Some patchy fog is possible near daybreak, particularly over the Wisconsin River Valley. Quigley && .LONG TERM... Issued 401 AM CDT Sat May 4 2024 Sunday night through Friday: High pressure is anticipated to expand over the Upper Great Lakes Sunday night ahead of approaching ridging from the Central Plains. This should keep Sunday night through Monday mostly dry, as rain from a weak shortwave in the middle Mississippi Valley will likely stay south, owing to dry air from the high pressure center. By Monday Night, rain chances will begin to increase as WAA and a weak frontal boundary bring a dying line of storms toward southern Wisconsin. Overnight into Tuesday morning, this line will pass from west to east, with models depicting coverage becoming spotty by the time the line hits the Lake Michigan shoreline. Through the day on Tuesday, a secondary warm front is then expected to lift north, with another round of thunderstorms forming Tuesday afternoon as a strong 500mb wave and intensifying 850mb jet provides lift over the region. ECMWF and GFS solutions show favorable shear for this event with modeled sfc to 500mb shear around 50 knots, but both models depict differing positions for the secondary warm front Tuesday afternoon. The ECMWF brings it north through most of WI, while the GFS keeps it parked over northern IL, owing to differing evolutions of the formation of a sfc low during that time period. The positioning of this warm front will determine the area of better instability and mode of potential severe weather hazards on Tuesday. For what its worth, 00z CIPS analogs based on the GEFS favor a hail threat (10% chance) mainly along and south of I-94, with no signals in the GEFS for a wind or tornado threat at the moment. Whatever convection develops over the middle to upper Mississippi Valley on Tuesday is expected to push the effective warm front farther south into central IL. At this time, models depict thunderstorm activity staying south of the Wisconsin-Illinois boarder, though some benign showers and a rumble of thunder may occur Wednesday evening as an inverted trough/cold front sinks south over the upper Midwest. This could all change by Wednesday, however, if that warm front isn't pushed as far south as models currently anticipate. Beyond, details get fuzzy, with the NBM painting broad slight chance to chance PoPs (15% to 35%) into Friday evening, as long range models diverge in their handling of an upper level trough going into the upcoming weekend. CMiller && .AVIATION... Issued 401 AM CDT Sat May 4 2024 Expect primarily VFR conditions to prevail through the remainder of the overnight and AM hours today. East-southeast winds will begin to increase ahead of an approaching surface low near/just prior to daybreak, allowing moisture to begin increasing across the region. Given the timing of the wind shift/onset of moisture returns, will be closely monitoring obs for any possible CIG/VIS reductions, particularly at SBM where surface temp & dew point spreads are approaching zero. Anticipate improvements in any isolated categorical reductions by mid-late morning. Chances for SHRA and TSRA will increase this afternoon along and ahead of an approaching cold front. Mentions of said chances have been maintained in the 06 and 09Z updates. Expect a period of prevailing MVFR behind the departing frontal boundary early this evening, with improvements occurring closer to midnight as west-northwest winds pick up regionally.| Quigley && .MARINE... Issued 401 AM CDT Sat May 4 2024 Areas of patchy fog are possible from predawn through the morning hours today over the open waters, though confidence regarding the precise placement of any development remains low. Will monitor trends over the next several hours and make forecast adjustments as necessary. A weak, 1012 mb low pressure center will approach from the west today, dragging a cold front across the open waters in the process. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible along and ahead of the front. Most activity is expected to remain sub- severe, though an isolated strong storm with small hail and gusty winds can't be ruled out. A 1020 mb high pressure will approach from the northern Great Plains on Sunday, resulting in light & variable surface winds across the open waters. Winds will begin to shift out of the east-southeast Monday afternoon & evening as a 984 mb low pressure center develops over the northern Great Plains. Winds will pivot between southeasterly and southwesterly through mid-week, prior to turning out of the north and northwest on Thursday & Friday as a 1002 mb low pressure center moves east of the open waters. Periods of showers and thunderstorms are forecast from early to mid week, with conditions drying out by the end of the week & beginning of next weekend. Quigley && .MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
