.DISCUSSION...
Through tomorrow afternoon:
Clouds briefly cleared out enough this afternoon in southern zones
to allow shallow chilly air to mix out, thus delivering highs
ranging from the upper 50s to near 70 there. Elsewhere,
unfortunately the low clouds did not allow for any warming air
aloft to mix to the surface and temperatures have struggled to
respond upwards in the wake of the cold front which passed through
early this morning.
But the warming aloft is a precursor to an actual surface warm
front that will be sliding back north through the region tonight.
Therefore, many locations (especially in northern zones) will
experience temperatures and moisture rising through the night.
Often these situations result in a widespread "mixing" fog and,
indeed, some fog is anticipated, particularly south of I-20.
However, thickening of clouds aloft and influx of light
precipitation later tonight in many areas will likely keep fog
from realizing its full potential. The next shift will monitor the
fog situation closely, but at this point the expectation of
minimal dense fog risk will not necessitate us including mention
in the HWO or graphics.
Late tonight through tomorrow, the southern fringe of a few upper
level disturbances will glance the region and instigate gradually
increasing shower chances. There are global model discrepancies
regarding evolution of particulars through tomorrow, but the
ECMWF, EPS, and HREF suggest the warm sector in the wake of the
mentioned overnight warm frontal passage will have enough of a
time window to really warm things up tomorrow before the
baroclinic zone (in the form of another cold front) pushes
southeast through the region late. Forecasted high temps on the
warm side of guidance for areas along and southeast of the Natchez
Trace corridor in expectation of a slower cold frontal
progression than the GFS and this could deliver a max temp near 80
in HBG (where, coincidentally, most of the showers should hold
off until late in the afternoon). /BB/
Sunday night through next week...
A very active and wet pattern will commence as we get into the
workweek. Several threats will develop but flash flooding and
river flooding stand out as the primary threats.
As we get into into Sunday night, a cold front that will stretch
from the the east coast to the Gulf of Mexico will continue to
move through the region, leading to scattered shower activity. By
Monday afternoon, the front will be well south of the area as
drier air and high pressure filter in from the north. A deepening
trough over the Southwest US and increasing upper heights over the
East Coast will lead to increasing upper level flow from the SW
over the lower MS River Valley. Rain chances will begin to
increase from the south on Monday night as the front moves back
north into the region and the SW flow aloft helps to increase
moisture values. The surface boundary will soon stall near our
region and serve as a focus for rainfall over the next few days.
A surface low associated with a weak disturbance embedded in the
SW flow aloft will form and begin to enter the region from the SW
on Tuesday. This will help to increase rain rates on Tuesday and
into Wednesday. Some marginal instability will develop south of
the parked frontal boundary by Tuesday night and through
Wednesday. This will lead to better chances of thunderstorms
mainly south of I-20 through the period. As of now the better
chances of flash flooding on Tuesday through Thursday stretch from
the Golden Triangle over into the ArkLaMiss Delta where heavy
rainfall will be more persistent. Expect 3" to 6" of rainfall in
this region on Tuesday through Thursday with some localized higher
amounts possible. Elsewhere, 1" to 3" of rainfall is possible.
Rivers will begin to rise throughout the region as rainfall totals
begin to add up. The river systems that can expect the greatest
flood potential are the Tombigbee, Big Black, Pearl, an upper
portions of the Pascagoula.
The upper flow regime and surface boundary are not expected to
make any progress as we get closer to next weekend. The threat of
flooding is expected to extend at least into the weekend as heavy
rain continues to fall over the ArkLaMiss and rivers continue to
swell.
