AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
955 AM CDT SUN JUL 4 2004

.DISCUSSION...

AN MCS OVER N CNTRL AR IS CURRENTLY PROGRESSING SEWD. LATEST
SATELLITE AND RADAR TRENDS INDICATE THAT THIS COMPLEX HAS WEAKENED
SOMEWHAT IN THE PAST 2 HOURS. STILL SOME POTENTIAL THAT A SVR WIND
GUST COULD COME OUT OF IT AS IT APPROACHES THE WRN PART OF THE CWA.
THEREFORE...SVR WATCH #547 HAS BEEN ISSUED TO COVER THE SITUATION.

ADDITIONAL STORMS COULD DEVELOP ALONG THE MCS OUTFLOW BOUNDARY LATER
TODAY BUT UNCERTAIN OF THE EWD EXTENT. CURRENT FCST HAS ONLY 10-14
POPS E OF THE MS RVR AND MAY NEED TO BE INCREASEED BY A FEW NOTCHES
IF CONDITIONS WARRANT.

ANOTHER MCS IS POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT FROM THE NW BUT UNCERTAIN ON
ITS SEWD EXTENT. THE REST OF THE FCST PERIOD WILL BE DOMINATED BY A
BROAD SUBTROPICAL HIGH OVER THE SE STATES AND FRONTAL BOUNDARIES
STALLING TO THE N OF THE CWA. THIS SHOULD PROVIDE TYPICAL SUMMERLIKE
WX WITH WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS AND OFF AND ON CHCS OF SHWRS/TSTMS.
