DISCUSSION

THROUGH THIS MORNING: COOLING OF A HUMID BOUNDARY LAYER FOLLOWING
THE RAINFALL EVENT OVER OUR FORECAST AREA IS SUPPORTING AREAS OF
FOG AND LOCALIZED DENSE FOG, ESPECIALLY OVER CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI
WHERE OBS HAVE OCCASIONALLY DIPPED TO A 1/4 MILE. HAVE A ISSUED
AN HWO GRAPHIC AND DENSE FOG ADVISORY ACCORDINGLY GIVEN CONTINUED
ELEVATED DENSE FOG PROBS IN THE NEAR TERM HIGH RES GUIDANCE. THE
FOG SHOULD BEGIN TO DISSIPATE AS WE APPROACH MID MORNING.
OTHERWISE, A PERSISTENT AND UNSEASONABLY STRONG EASTERN CONUS
LONGWAVE TROUGH WILL BE THE PRIMARY WEATHER INFLUENCE FOR THE AREA
AS WE GO FROM THE WEEKEND THROUGH THE UPCOMING WORK WEEK. MOST OF
THE FORECAST WILL BE ON THE DRY SIDE, BUT A FEW SNEAKY
DISTURBANCES IN THE CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT MAY BRING LIGHT TO
MODERATE RAINFALL. THIS IS ESPECIALLY THE CASE FOR THE EARLY TO
MID WEEK TIME FRAME WHEN THERE HAS BEEN A SIGNAL IN THE GLOBAL
MODEL GUIDANCE FOR A MORE SIGNIFICANT SHORTWAVE TROUGH. THIS
TROUGH WOULD BACK LOW LEVEL FLOW TO MORE SOUTHERLY AND PROVIDE
MORE SUBSTANTIAL LIFT TO BRING GREATER SHOWER CHANCES.
BY LATE WEEK, STRONG REINFORCEMENT OF THE EASTERN CONUS TROUGH
WILL PROVIDE A SEASONABLY STRONG SURGE OF COOLER AIR INTO THE
REGION. LOWS IN THE MID/UPPER 50S SHOULD BECOME MORE COMMON BY
THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY NIGHT. /EC/
