...SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE NEW YEARS EVE...

SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY RAINFALL MAY DEVELOP LATE THIS WEEK AS A

STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS REGION. AN UNSEASONABLY

WARM...MOIST...AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WILL

SUPPORT SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE ARKLAMISS FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY

NIGHT. SEVERE STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING TORNADOES...

DAMAGING WINDS...AND LARGE HAIL. VERY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BECOME

POSSIBLE AS WELL...ESPECIALLY BY FRIDAY NIGHT.

THIS SYSTEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE WIDESPREAD...SIGNIFICANT

SEVERE WEATHER AND VERY HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS REGION

DURING NEW YEARS EVE. WHILE THERE REMAINS SUBSTANTIAL UNCERTAINTY

WITH REGARD TO THE EXACT TIMING AND HAZARDS...EVERYONE SHOULD

MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS AND OUTLOOKS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER

SERVICE IN JACKSON. PREPARE A PLAN OF ACTION IF SEVERE WEATHER

STRIKES.

DAY 2 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

1259 AM CST THU DEC 30 2010

VALID 311200Z - 011200Z

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS THE OZARKS/MID-SOUTH AND

LOWER MS VALLEY...

..SYNOPSIS

THE CURRENTLY EVOLVING/DEEPENING WESTERN STATES TROUGH IS EXPECTED

TO ADVANCE EAST-NORTHEASTWARD OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS NEW YEARS EVE.

AT THE SAME TIME...A SURFACE LOW WILL QUICKLY SPREAD NORTHEASTWARD

ACROSS THE LOWER MO VALLEY TO THE UPPER MIDWEST/WESTERN GREAT

LAKES...AS A COLD FRONT SPREADS EASTWARD TOWARD THE MIDDLE/LOWER MS

VALLEY. APPRECIABLE LARGE SCALE FORCING AND A STRONG DEEP LAYER WIND

FIELD...COMBINED WITH AN INCREASINGLY MOIST AIRMASS ACROSS THE

SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES...WILL CONTRIBUTE TO SEVERE TSTM POTENTIAL NEW

YEARS EVE.

..OZARKS/ARKLATEX TO MIDDLE/LOWER MS VALLEY

VIA THE ARRIVAL OF APPRECIABLE LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT LATE

TONIGHT/EARLY FRIDAY AND A WARM/MOIST CONVEYOR...EXTENSIVE

SHOWERS/TSTMS WILL LIKELY BE ONGOING FRIDAY MORNING ACROSS MUCH OF

THE OZARKS/LOWER MO VALLEY AND ARKLATEX...SOME OF WHICH MAY BE

EARLY DAY CLOUD COVER/PRECIPITATION DOES COMPLICATE THE DETAILS OF

SUBSEQUENT DESTABILIZATION DURING THE DAY...ESPECIALLY WITH

NORTHWARD EXTENT REGIONALLY. HOWEVER...THE STEADY RETURN OF A

MODIFIED GULF AIRMASS...WITH 60+ F SURFACE DEWPOINTS ACROSS THE

ARKLATEX/LOWER MS VALLEY AND UPPER 50S F DEWPOINTS TO THE

OZARKS/MIDDLE MS VALLEY...WILL CONTRIBUTE TO MODEST/BUT SUFFICIENT

BUOYANCY ESPECIALLY WHERE POCKETS OF STRONGER HEATING ARE ABLE TO

OCCUR. THIS MAY YIELD MLCAPE UP TO AROUND 500 J/KG ACROSS THE

MAJORITY OF THE WARM SECTOR...SAVE UPWARDS OF 1000 J/KG MLCAPE

POTENTIALLY ACROSS THE LOWER MS VALLEY.

WITH EARLY DAY TSTMS POSSIBLE BOTH WITHIN THE WARM/MOIST CONVEYOR

AND/OR NEAR THE SURFACE TRIPLE POINT/PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH...RELATIVELY

LOW-TOPPED SEVERE TSTMS MAY BE POSSIBLE DURING THE DAY WITHIN A

HIGHLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT AS FAR NORTH AS THE LOWER MO

VALLEY/OZARKS/MIDDLE MS VALLEY. THIS WOULD BE IN RELATIVELY CLOSE

PROXIMITY TO THE DEEPENING SURFACE LOW/BRUNT OF LARGE SCALE FORCING.

OTHERWISE...A FULL-PERIOD RISK OF SEVERE STORMS ARE MORE PROBABLE

FRIDAY AFTERNOON/NIGHT WITHIN A CORRIDOR FARTHER SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD

ACROSS THE MID-SOUTH/ARKLATEX/LOWER MS VALLEY COINCIDENT WITH A

HIGHER THETA-E AIRMASS...WHERE RELATIVELY MORE CONSEQUENTIAL

DESTABILIZATION SEEMS PROBABLE. EVEN WITH RELATIVELY LIMITED

BUOYANCY...A VERY STRONG DEEP LAYER WIND FIELD /ACCENTUATED BY

SOUTHERLY 1 KM FLOW UP TO 45-55 KT/ WILL SUPPORT A MULTI-MODAL

POTENTIAL FOR SEMI-DISCRETE/EMBEDDED SUPERCELLS AND QLCS

DEVELOPMENT...WITH POSSIBILITIES FOR DAMAGING WINDS/SOME

TORNADOES...AND TO A LESSER EXTENT SOME SEVERE HAIL.

Even more! And I see SPC went 40 on sigtor ingredients. I'm also curious about the amount of CAPE in the second picture. Seems overdone, but who knows.

CENTRAL_ETA212_ATMOS_CAPE_33HR.gif

Although not part of the severe threat on the last Day 2 update, I would not be suprised from these models if the slight risk area for the initial Day 1 update tomorrow is extended into at least west central/southwestern Illinois (IMO roughly along and west of a Springfield-Paducah, KY line). Perhaps even farther into Illinois.

What are your thoughts on the MO play Stebo? You think there will be enough CAPE to get a second round to fire in the afternoon? There is definitely lots of horizontal vorticity to be played with and stretch into the vertical.

Also, farther south:

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN

256 PM CST THU DEC 30 2010

DISCUSSION

A POTENT SPRING LIKE STORM IS ON TAP FOR THE MIDSOUTH THIS NEW

YEAR'S EVE BRINGING THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER...STRONG

SOUTHERLY WINDS...AND LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING TO THE AREA. WINDS HAVE

ALREADY INCREASED FROM THE SOUTHEAST WITH GUSTS EXCEEDING 20

KNOTS AT TIMES. DEWPOINTS HAVE ALSO STARTED TO CREEP UP WITH

MID 50S IN THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA REGION OF EASTERN ARKANSAS AND

READINGS IN THE 60S ACROSS NORTHERN LOUISIANA.

FOR TONIGHT AND TOMORROW...MILD TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED

OVERNIGHT WITH A FEW SCATTERED WAA RAIN SHOWERS

DEVELOPING. MODELS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT THIS PAST 12Z RUN ON

DEVELOPING THE MAIN SURFACE LOW ACROSS THE OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE BY

MIDNIGHT WITH THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT DROPPING SOUTH ACROSS WEST

TEXAS. THE LLJ IN RETURN WILL INTENSIFY ACROSS THE RED RIVER

VALLEY THIS EVENING SHIFTING OVERNIGHT INTO THE WESTERN OZARKS.

THIS MAY LEAD TO SOME ORGANIZED NOCTURNAL THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY

THAT MAY CLIP PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST ARKANSAS BY FRIDAY MORNING. A

WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR TOMORROW AS SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH

WINDS INCREASE TO 20 TO 30 KNOTS WITH GUSTS OF NEAR 35-40 KNOTS.

BELIEVE THAT SKIES WILL REMAIN MOSTLY CLOUDY THROUGHOUT THE

DAY...BUT WITH ENOUGH BREAKS TO WARM TEMPERATURES TO THE LOW 70'S

IN THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA. THIS WILL PUT THE GREATEST RISK FOR

SEVERE WEATHER IN OUR AREA SOUTH OF A JONESBORO ARKANSAS...AND

WEST OF INTERSTATE 55 LINE...WITH THE MODELS SHOWING A PLUME OF

500-1500 CAPE VALUES OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT IN EASTERN ARKANSAS

BY 30/21Z. TO LOW OF SHEAR VALUES WILL NOT BE A FACTOR AS A MID

LEVEL SOUTHWEST JET OF NEAR 80 KNOTS OVERLAYS A 50 KNOT LLJ FROM

THE SOUTH. THE REGION WILL ALSO FALL UNDER THE RIGHT ENTRANCE

REGION OF THE 300MB JET MAX AS THE STORM LIFTS INTO THE UPPER

MIDWEST. THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER SEEMS LIKELY WITH THE

POTENTIAL FOR AN ISOLATED STRONG TORNADO IN THE AFTERNOON...AND EARLY

EVENING HOURS. CONDITIONS SHOULD DIMINISH LATER IN THE EVENING

WITH BOTH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING AND THE UPPER LEVEL ENERGY

LIFTING FURTHER NORTH. MODELS REFLECT THIS WITH THE LOSS OF CAPE

AFTER 00Z AND THE LLJ AXIS SHIFTING INTO THE MID OHIO VALLEY..............

Well there certainly could be a play there, especially if MO was able to poke out into the sun a bit, being that its close to the low track. However it is hitched upon how much sunshine they get, it could be a drive for nothing. The other problem potentially would be if the moisture at 850MB lingers (NAM) or pulls away early (GFS)

Yeah, definitely a gamble, but why not, its still 2010, and 2010 has kicked butt! the LLLR are also crazy! like 7 to potentially 8 C/km :thumbsup:

Oh don't get me wrong it can bust, but it can boom too. There is a high ceiling for this one, if the ingredients come together things could be pretty good.

strong wording from Jackson

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JACKSON MS

448 PM CST THU DEC 30 2010

.SHORT TERM...

...SEVERE WEATHER EXPECTED NEW YEARS EVE INTO EARLY NEW YEARS DAY...

FIRST PORTION OF DISCUSSION WILL FOCUS ON SEVERE WEATHER SET-UP...

POSSIBLE EVOLUTIONS...RESULTING HAZARDS...AND FORECAST CHANGES MADE

IN THIS UPDATE. DISCUSSION FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY

WILL FOLLOW IN THE LONG TERM SECTION.

CURRENT RUC80/WATER VAPOR ANALYSIS DEPICTS A STRONG AMPLIFIED

LONGWAVE TROUGH ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS. INTERESTINGLY...THE BASE

OF THE NEARLY CUT-OFF MID/UPPER LVL LOW AS SHOWN BY WATER VAPOR

IMAGERY SEEMS TO BE AT A LOWER LATITUDE THAN GFS/ECMWF NWP CURRENTLY

DEPICT. RUC80 ALSO DEPICTS A 120KT JET AT H2 RIDING SOUTHWARD ON THE

BACK SIDE OF THE LONGWAVE TROUGH OPPOSED TO A DEVELOPING 105KT JET

EJECTING AHEAD OF THE TROUGH. THIS COULD ALLOW FOR SOME ADDITIONAL

SOUTHWARD TRANSLATION. ANY DEVIATION SOUTH OF THE DEVELOPING H5

CLOSED LOW AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW WILL ENHANCE SEVERITY OF

STORMS ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH. GFS AND ECMWF CONTINUE TO SHOW

GREATEST SURFACE PRESSURE FALLS ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI TO UPPER

MIDWEST FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. CLOSED MID-LVL LOW AND

ASSOCIATED Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE/FORCING STILL BEST FOCUSED NORTH AND

WEST OF REGION. DESPITE THIS NEGATIVE FACTOR...OTHER THERMO AND

DYNAMIC FACTORS DISCUSSED BELOW ENHANCE SEVERE WEATHER HAZARDS

ACROSS THE REGION.

STRONG MOISTURE ADVECTION RIDING ON 25-30KT H85-925 LAYER IS ONGOING

WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS INCREASING ACROSS SE TEXAS/LOUISIANA RANGING

FROM 63 UPWARDS TO 68. GFS/ECMWF CONTINUE TO PROG MID-60 SFC

DEWPOINTS AND NEAR 328-330K SFC THETA-E AIR SURGING NORTHWARD ACROSS

MUCH OF THE REGION BY TOMORROW MORNING. DEEP-LAYER MOISTURE...

ESPECIALLY FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...WILL COMBINE WITH A SOUTH-NORTH

MLCAPE INSTABILITY AXIS WITH VALUES ~1700J/KG IN SOUTHWESTERN

MISSISSIPPI AND SCTL LOUISIANA TO ~500J/KG IN NORTH CENTRAL

MISSISSIPPI. COUPLED WITH VEERING 0-1/0-3/0-6 BULK SHEAR VECTORS AND

HIGHLY CURVED LOW-LVL HODOGRAPHS SHOWING 0-1KM SRH VALUES

200-325M^2/S^2...DISCRETE SUPERCELLS APPEAR LIKELY TO DEVELOP. SIG

SEVERE PARAMETER(~30000)...SUPERCELL COMPOSITE PARAMETER(~6

UNITS)...AND SIG TOR PARAMETER(~4-6 UNITS) BECOME MAXIMIZED ACROSS

SOUTHWEST MISSISSIPPI AND SCTL LOUISIANA AROUND NOON FRIDAY. THESE

PARAMETERS SLIGHTLY WEAKEN...BUT REMAIN SUBSTANTIAL AND SHIFT EAST

THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI.

TORNADOES...SOME POSSIBLY STRONG...ARE POSSIBLE WITH SUPERCELLS

DEVELOPING IN THESE AREAS. FORECAST BUFR SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO

INDICATE WEAK LOW-LVL LAPSE RATES WITH A WARM NOSE BTW H8-H7

POTENTIALLY CAPPING EARLY CONVECTION FRIDAY MORNING.

HOWEVER...LOW-LVL LAPSE RATES LOOK TO INCREASE AS CIN ERODES AWAY BY

EARLY AFTERNOON FRIDAY. 30/12Z GFS SHOWING AN INCREASED TIME FRAME

OPPOSED TO EARLIER RUNS OF BACKED LOW-LVL WINDS WOULD EXTEND THE

TIME SPAN FOR SUPERCELLS TO REMAIN DISCRETE BEFORE CONGEALING INTO A

SEVERE SQUALL LINE WITH POSSIBLE BOWING SEGMENTS. DISCRETE STORMS

LOOK TO FORM INTO A QLCS/SQUALL LINE LATE AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING

NEW YEARS EVE. THIS LINE WILL PUSH EASTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL AREAS

LATE NEW YEARS EVE NIGHT AND EARLY NEW YEARS DAY MORNING. AS THE

CLOSED MID/UPPER-LVL LOW AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW PULL NORTHWARD

INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST...FRONTAL MOMENTUM AND MID-LVL FORCING BEGIN

TO LAG EARLY NEW YEARS DAY ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH. AS SUCH...THE COLD

FRONT AND ASSOCIATED PRECIPITATION COULD SLOW IN FORWARD PROGRESS.

IF CARIBBEAN TAPPED MOISTURE (~200% NORMAL PWATS) IS ABLE TO POOL

ALONG AND AHEAD OF SLOWING FRONT...VERY HEAVY RAINFALL COULD OCCUR

ACROSS EASTERN AND SOUTHEASTERN AREAS OF MISSISSIPPI SATURDAY

MORNING...ENHANCING THE FLASH FLOODING RISK.

SEVERE WEATHER HAZARDS: TORNADOES...SOME POSSIBLY STRONG WILL BE

POSSIBLE. IN ADDITION...STRONG STRAIGHT LINE WINDS...HAIL...AND HEAVY

RAIN APPEAR LIKELY NEW YEARS EVE AND INTO EARLY NEW YEARS DAY.

FORECAST CHANGES: GRAPHICAL HWO HAS BEEN UPDATED INDICATING NEAR 20%

PROBABILITIES FOR TORNADOES AND NEAR 10% FOR STRONG TORNADOES FOR

SOUTHWEST AREAS. GREATEST PROBABILITIES OF WINDS GREATER THAN 75KTS

AND 50KTS ARE ALSO LOCATED ACROSS PORTIONS OF NE LOUISIANA AND

WESTERN PORTIONS OF MISSISSIPPI. FLASH FLOODING COULD OCCUR IF

EXCESSIVE TRAINING OF STORMS OCCUR...ESPECIALLY ACROSS EASTERN AND

SOUTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. HAVE FORGONE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH AT THIS TIME

DUE TO ANTECEDENT DRY CONDITIONS AND BELOW NORMAL STREAMFLOWS.

HOWEVER...LATER UPDATES MAY UPGRADE TO A FLASH FLOOD WATCH./ALLEN/

Looks like it could get really bad in Dixie Ally, some strong/large tornadoes are a pretty high threat, and the severe threat may be possible the whole way into IL,IN,maybe OH,western pa with elevated storms or low topped super cells

there will not be storms let alone supercells in OH/PA....geez. there will be showers...

Although we currently only have a 5% severe probability in the latest Day 2, the local forecasts for Springfield, IL on the Weather Channel are already warning that "a few storms may be severe" tomorrow--although the slight risk currently covers none of Illinois.

Then again, the Day 2 outlooks on Jan. 6, 2008 only had southwestern Illinois in a slight risk for severe weather--and we all know what happened in northeastern Illinois and southeast Wisconsin the next day (even a tornado warning in the Milwaukee area IIRC).

I believe those products are grabbed from your NWS grid forecasts. It would be their wording being used, not TWC's.
