...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 415 AM CDT FOR
LAWRENCE AND RANDOLPH COUNTIES...

LOCATIONS IN THE WARNING INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO RAVENDEN
SPRINGS...RAVENDEN...POCAHONTAS...MAYNARD...DALTON...BIGGERS AND
ATTICA.

.NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR HAS INDICATED THAT 2 TO 4 
INCHES OF RAIN HAS FALLEN ACROSS THE WARNED AREA. ADDITIONAL 
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE.

.EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL
CREEKS AND STREAMS...COUNTRY ROADS...AS WELL AS FARMLAND ALONG THE
BANKS OF CREEKS AND STREAMS.

.BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF FLOODING. IF FLASH FLOODING IS OBSERVED ACT QUICKLY. MOVE
UP TO HIGHER GROUND TO ESCAPE FLOOD WATERS. DO NOT STAY IN AREAS
SUBJECT TO FLOODING WHEN WATER BEGINS RISING.

.MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE
INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE
USUALLY DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS
POWERFUL ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING
FLOODED ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
840 PM CDT SAT JUN 30 2007

.DISCUSSION...00Z SURFACE ANALYSIS THIS EVENING PLACES A
QUASI-STATIONARY BOUNDARY STRETCHING FROM MIDDLE TENNESSEE THROUGH
THE MID SOUTH AND BACK INTO A LOW ACROSS EAST OKLAHOMA. DAYTIME
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY HAS GREATLY DIMINISHED ACROSS THE MID SOUTH THIS
EVENING WITH ONLY A FEW REMNANT SHOWERS OCCURRING AT THIS TIME.
REGIONAL WSR-88D SHOWS A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX MOVING ACROSS SOUTH
CENTRAL MISSOURI AND WOULD EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO AFFECT PORTIONS
OF THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL AND NORTHEAST ARKANSAS NEAR THE STATE LINE
OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. SHORT TERM CONVECTIVE INDICIES INDICATE THE
ATMOSPHERE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA WILL REMAIN UNSTABLE INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS AND HAVE ADJUSTED FORECASTED POPS FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE NIGHT BASED UPON CURRENT SHORT TERM CONVECTIVE TRENDS. ALL OTHER
WEATHER ELEMENTS SEEM FINE AT THIS TIME.

UPDATED GRIDS ALREADY SENT.

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED 312 PM CDT SAT JUN 30 2007

ANOTHER AFTERNOON WITH MODERATE ATMOSPHERIC INSTABILITY AND WEAK
SHEAR. EXPECT ISOLATED PULSE SEVERE THREAT TO CONTINUE THROUGH LATE
AFTERNOON...MAINLY OVER NORTHERN MS. ONCE SURFACE TEMPS BEGIN TO
WANE IN THE LOWER SUN ANGLES... EXPECT STORM COVERAGE TO DECREASE
EARLY IN THE EVENING.

SEVERE THREAT REMAINS MORE FOCUSED WELL WEST OF THE MIDSOUTH...AHEAD
OF A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER NORTHERN OK. THIS SURFACE LOW
PRESSURE SHOULD NOT AFFECT THE MIDSOUTH AND SHOULD REMAIN NEAR ITS
CURRENT POSITION. PROSPECTS FOR A NEAR TERM FRONTAL PASSAGE INTO
THE MIDSOUTH APPEAR SLIM...GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE OK SURFACE
LOW AND THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE SOUTHEAST.

GOES WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED A BROAD UPPER LOW JUST WEST OF
THE YUCATAN PENINSULA...LIFTING NORTHEAST. GFS APPEARS TO NOT HAVE
INITIALIZED THIS LOW VERY WELL. SUSPECT THIS FEATURE WILL SUFFICIENTLY
WEAKEN THE UPPER RIDGE TOMORROW TO RESULT IN SCATTERED STORMS OVER
THE MIDSOUTH AND MUCH OF THE SOUTHEAST. THIS APPEARS TO ALREADY BE
OCCURRING TODAY...WITH ENERGY EJECTING NORTH FROM THE BROAD UPPER
LOW... INTO THE LOWER MS RIVER VALLEY.

THE GFS IS STILL INTENT ON DROPPING A COLD FRONT INTO THE MIDSOUTH
TOWARD THE END OF NEXT WEEK. ECMWF MODEL CONCURS TO A SMALL
EXTENT. IN ANY CASE...EXPECT THE IMPACT OF A FRONTAL PASSAGE TO BE
LIMITED TO A SLIGHT BUMP IN RAIN CHANCES...AS TEMPS REMAIN NEAR
SEASONAL NORMS. OVERALL...TYPICAL EARLY TO MID SUMMER WEATHER FOR
THE MIDSOUTH.
