Look at the various soundings from different portions of the weather system we have been discussing. Look at soundings from the warm sector of the low, stations north of the low, stations behind the cold front, stations under the jet, etc. Look at which soundings are stable, and which are unstable. Look at the moisture profiles, based on the dewpoint depression.

2) Write a map discussion for this situation. Write this discussion as though it is the morning of the 24th, and you are making a forecast for central Mississippi.
