MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0026
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0345 PM CST TUE JAN 17 2012

AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF CENTRAL/SRN LA AND SRN MS

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY

VALID 172145Z - 172245Z

THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL PERSIST
ACROSS THE LOWER MS VALLEY /CENTRAL AND SRN LA TO SRN MS/ LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION TO SOME SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...STORMS
DEVELOPING OVER CENTRAL/SWRN LA WILL TEND TO TRACK ENEWD INTO FAR
SRN MS WHERE STORMS ARE ALREADY IN PROGRESS. HEAVIER RAINFALL RATES
WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THESE TRAINING STORMS.

MID-AFTERNOON SURFACE ANALYSES SHOWED A COLD FRONT STEADILY
ADVANCING EWD THROUGH THE LOWER MS VALLEY AND TOWARD THE TX COAST.
STORMS OVER CENTRAL LA WERE LOCATED ALONG AND E OF THE FRONT...WHILE
THE STORMS OVER FAR SRN MS WERE LOCATED ALONG AN APPARENT
DIFFERENTIAL HEATING BOUNDARY. DESPITE SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S
AND STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES...EXTENSIVE CLOUDINESS HAS CONTINUED
TO INHIBIT GREATER SURFACE HEATING AND THUS MAINTAINING WEAK
INSTABILITY /MLCAPE 500-1000 J PER KG/. STRONG EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR
/AROUND 50 KT/ IS SUPPORTIVE FOR ORGANIZED STORMS...BUT VEERED
PRE-FRONTAL LOW LEVEL WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO LIMIT CONVERGENCE AND
OVERALL TSTM COVERAGE. GIVEN STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES AND DEEP
LAYER SHEAR...HAIL AND STRONG WIND GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE
MORE SUSTAINED UPDRAFTS.

CONCERN ALSO EXISTS FOR HEAVY RAINFALL RATES...AS STORMS TRAIN ENEWD
FROM CENTRAL LA THROUGH EXTREME SRN MS...WITH THE GREATEST THREAT
AREA EXTENDING WSW-ENE WITHIN A 30-40 MILE WIDE CORRIDOR FROM NRN
EVANGELINE PARISH LA TO LAMAR COUNTY MS. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
TO AROUND 1.5 INCH WILL SUPPORT THIS THREAT.
