1048 AM CDT FRI APR 7 2006

.SHORT TERM...

...DANGEROUS...POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING...TORNADO OUTBREAK
FORECAST FOR THE MID-SOUTH TODAY AND TONIGHT...

A STRAY SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WITH LARGE HAIL HAS DEVELOPED IN NW MS
EARLIER THIS MORNING AND HAS BEEN TRACKING ACROSS WRN TN. CONDITIONS
WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR MORE SEVERE TSTMS TO DEVELOP FROM LATE THIS
MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS PLENTY OF INSTABILITY AND
DIRECTIONAL SHEAR WILL EXIST. SUPERCELLS WILL BE THE PREDOMINATE
STORM TYPE WITH A RISK OF TORNADOES...LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.

A DEEP SFC LOW AND ASSOCIATED UPPER LOW OVER KS WILL TRACK SEWD INTO
THE MIDSOUTH THROUGH THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL PROVIDE
THE NECESSARY DYNAMICS FOR THE SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK TODAY AND
TONIGHT.

MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES WILL PLAY A BIG PART IN WHERE THE MAIN
TORNADO THREAT DEVELOPS...WHICH IS STILL DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE AT
THIS TIME. BACKING OF THE WINDS AHEAD OF THIS LOW WILL HELP TO
INCREASE THE LOW LEVEL HELICITY. MODELS HAVE BEEN PERSISTENT IN THAT
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT TORNADO THREAT WILL OCCUR FROM SOUTHWEST TN
ACROSS EAST-CENTRAL AR INTO NORTH MS...BUT ATTM THE ENTIRE MID-SOUTH
IS UNDER A SERIOUS THREAT.

THE SUPERCELLS ARE GRADUALLY FORECAST TO EVOLVE INTO A SQUALL LINE
THIS EVENING...MOST LIKELY FROM SOUTHWEST TN INTO NORTH MS. THE
LINE WILL GRADUALLY MOVE SOUTHEAST OF THE MID-SOUTH AFTER MIDNIGHT
AND WEAKEN.

MUCH COOLER AND DRY AIR WILL SPREAD INTO THE MID-SOUTH OVER THE
WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH TAKES CONTROL OF OUR
WEATHER. IN FACT...TEMPERATURES MAY DIP TO NEAR FREEZING ACROSS
PARTS OF WEST TN SUNDAY MORNING...SOMETHING TO WATCH IN LATER
FORECASTS. CYCLONIC CURVATURE AT 850 MB WILL KEEP SKIES CLOUDY FOR
MUCH OF THE MID-SOUTH SATURDAY...WITH CLEARING SATURDAY NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...
(MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)

MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH SYNOPTIC PATTERN ACROSS NORTH
AMERICA FEATURING A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
UNITED STATES AND A TROUGH ACROSS THE PACIFIC COAST. THE MID SOUTH
WILL REMAIN IN THE WARM SECTOR THROUGH THE PERIOD AS A SERIES OF
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS MOVE ALONG A SLOW MOVING FRONT ACROSS THE
CENTRAL PLAINS/UPPER MIDWEST. AS A RESULT...THINK THAT
PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL REMAIN ISOLATED AND DIURNALLY DRIVEN.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF EAST ARKANSAS...
THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL...NORTH MISSISSIPPI...AND WEST TENNESSEE.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A DANGEROUS...POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING...TORNADO OUTBREAK IS
FORECAST ACROSS MUCH OF THE MID-SOUTH TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE
BEST TIME FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS BETWEEN NOON AND 2 AM.

A HIGH RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER EXISTS ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHWEST
TENNESSEE INTO NORTH MISSISSIPPI. THIS INCLUDES THE CITIES OF
MEMPHIS...JACKSON...AND SAVANNAH IN TENNESSEE AND
TUPELO...OXFORD...AND CLARKSDALE IN MISSISSIPPI. THE HIGH RISK
AREA IS GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40...AND TO THE
EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.

SURROUNDING THE HIGH RISK AREA...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE
WEATHER. THE MODERATE RISK AREA INCLUDES THE REMAINDER OF WEST
TENNESSEE...THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL...AND THAT PART OF EAST ARKANSAS
ALONG AND TO THE EAST OF A LINE FROM HARRISBURG TO BLYTHEVILLE.
THE MODERATE RISK AREA INCLUDES THE CITIES OF FORREST CITY
ARKANSAS...KENNETT MISSOURI...DYERSBURG AND PARIS IN TENNESSEE.

A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXISTS OVER THE REMAINDER OF
NORTHEAST ARKANSAS INCLUDING THE CITIES OF JONESBORO AND POCAHONTAS.

STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE CENTRAL
PLAINS TODAY. MEANWHILE...AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH
FROM THE WEST TODAY. STRONG AND GUSTY SOUTH WINDS WILL FEED VERY
UNSTABLE AND MOIST AIR INTO THE MID-SOUTH AHEAD OF THIS WEATHER
SYSTEM. PARTIAL SUNSHINE THIS MORNING WILL BOOST TEMPERATURES UPWARD
ALLOWING FOR AN EXPLOSIVE DEVELOPMENT OF DISCREET SUPERCELL
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE MID-SOUTH. TORNADOES...VERY
LARGE HAIL...AND DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS ARE ALL POSSIBLE
ACROSS THE MID-SOUTH. STRONG AND TURNING WIND FIELDS THROUGHOUT THE
ATMOSPHERE WILL ALLOW FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRONG TORNADOES...
ESPECIALLY IN THE HIGH RISK AREA.

THE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP INTO A SQUALL LINE FROM
SOUTHWEST TENNESSEE INTO NORTH MISSISSIPPI AND EAST-CENTRAL ARKANSAS
BY LATE THIS EVENING. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS POSSIBLE AS THE
THUNDERSTORMS MERGE INTO A SQUALL LINE. THE LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS
WILL MOVE SOUTHEASTWARD AND GRADUALLY WEAKEN AFTER MIDNIGHT.

PLEASE PREPARE NOW FOR THIS FORECAST SERIOUS SEVERE WEATHER EVENT.
LISTEN TO THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION FOR SEVERE WEATHER WATCHES
AND WARNINGS. KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD DO AT ALL TIMES DURING THE DAY
AND NIGHT IF SEVERE WEATHER THREATENS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

LOW TEMPERATURES MAY DIP TO NEAR FREEZING SUNDAY MORNING ACROSS
THAT PART OF WEST TENNESSEE ALONG AND EAST OF A LINE FROM MARTIN
TO JACKSON TO SELMER.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
OFFICIALS...AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT IS LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON
INTO TONIGHT.
