Area Forecast Discussion

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS
1047 AM CDT SUN APR 6 2014

...HEAVY RAIN AND SEVERE STORMS EXPECTED LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT...

.UPDATE...OUR OVERALL EXPECTATIONS AND CURRENT FORECAST/OUTLOOKS
REMAIN ON TRACK WITH THIS EVOLVING SYSTEM AND POTENTIAL FOR
SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WILL BE ON TIMING AND
LOCATION FOR HEAVY PRECIP TODAY...OVERNIGHT EXPECTATIONS FOR HEAVY
RAIN AND SVR STORMS REMAINS THE SAME.

OVERNIGHT RAINFALL OF 1-3 INCHES HAS SET THE STAGE FOR FLOODING AND
FLASH FLOODING LATER TODAY AND ESPECIALLY TONIGHT AS ADDITIONAL
RAIN/STORMS DEVELOP AND MOVE INTO THE REGION. TAKING A LOOK AT THE
REST OF THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON...THE MAIN FORECAST ADJUSTMENT
WILL BE ON WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAINS WILL BE FOCUSED AND WHEN THAT IS
EXPECTED. BASED OFF MORNING RADAR TRENDS...THE S 1/3RD OF THE CWA
LOOKS TO REMAIN FREE OF MEANINGFUL PRECIP UNTIL ABOUT 3-4PM. THERE
WILL LIKELY BE A FEW FAST MOVING SHOWERS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN. DUE
TO THIS...HAVE PULLED BACK ON THE POPS AND RAINFALL AMOUNTS FOR THAT
AREA. THE FOCUS FOR THE HEAVIEST PRECIP THIS MORNING WILL BE ALONG
THE I-20 CORRIDOR. HERE STRONG FRONTOGENETIC FORCING HAS SETUP IN
THE 850-700MB LAYER WITH SIGNIFICANT LOWER LEVEL MOISTURE ADV
DIRECTED DIRECTLY INTO THAT REGION. WHAT IS SAVING US AT THIS POINT
FROM MUCH FLASH FLOODING IS THE FAST MOVING NATURE OF THE MORE
EFFICIENT RAIN CORES. THIS TRANSIENT NATURE IS KEEPING RAINFALL
RATES IN CHECK FOR NOW. HOWEVER...AS STRONGER DEEP LAYER LIFT DRAWS
CLOSER FOR LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING...LOOK FOR A STRONGER CONVECTIVE
NATURE OF THE STORMS AND MORE EFFICIENT RAINFALL RATES. THIS WILL BE
WHEN THE GREATER FLASH FLOODING POTENTIAL WILL INCREASE AND THE RISK
FOR SIGNIFICANT FLOODING WILL BE HIGHEST (4PM TO 4AM).
INITIALLY...THE BEST LOCATION FOR THIS HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE ALONG
I-20...THEN SHIFT A BIT MORE NORTH BY LATER AFTERNOON TO INCLUDE
I-20 AND AREAS TO THE NORTH. THE S/SE WILL GET BACK INTO THE ACTION
THIS EVE AND OVERNIGHT WITH THE INCREASING RISK OF TRAINING AND
MULTIPLE STORMS IMPACTING THE SAME AREAS. MORE EFFICIENT RAINFALL
RATES WILL OCCUR AS WELL RESULTING IN MORE ZONES (CORRIDORS) OF
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL. OVERALL...EVENT TOTALS FOR THE AREA LOOK TO BE
IN THE 2-5 IN RANGE WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS OF 6+ INCHES
POSSIBLE.

THE SEVERE WX RISK WILL INCREASE LATER AND BE FOCUSED WHERE THE
NORTHWARD MOVING WARM FRONT AND ESTABLISH A WARM SECTOR. LATEST
MODEL TRENDS ARE MORE BULLISH ON A MORE N ORIENTATION OF THE WARM
FRONT. HOWEVER...INTUITION (ALONG WITH 00-06Z HI-RES DATA) SUPPORT
THE WARM FRONT NOT MAKING IT TO I-20. SAME THREATS EXIST...DAMAGING
WINDS AND TORNADOES. DUE TO THE INCREASING WIND FIELDS SUPPORTING
STRONG WIND SHEAR AND SRH VALUES...THE ENVIRONMENT LOOKS TO SUPPORT
A STRONG TORNADO ESPECIALLY WHERE ANY UPPER 60 DEWPTS CAN REACH. THE
STRONG FORCING FROM THE SYSTEM ALSO LEADS TO THIS POTENTIAL. Link

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).

Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.

In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both will entitle you to free drinks.Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required, just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '07 is for EVERYONE!!!
