AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
1000 PM CST MON MAR 3 2008
.UPDATE...
ACTIVE WEATHER EVENING OVER THE MIDSOUTH. KNQA RADAR SHOWED A
LARGE AREA OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN EAST OF THE MS RIVER...LIFTING
NORTHEAST. SOME EMBEDDED LIGHTNING...BUT THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE
THUNDERSTORMS WERE OCCURRING OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF MS AT
DISCUSSION TIME. WITH NORTH MS WORKED OVER FROM THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH MUCH OF THE EVENING...HAVE CANCELED THE TORNADO WATCH
ALONG THE SOUTHERN TIER OF THE MEMPHIS COUNTY WARNING AREA.
GOES WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED AN UPPER LOW OVER NORTH TX...WITH
A DOWNSTREAM DRY SLOT INTO AR. THE UPPER LOW SHOULD TRACK
NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT...ARRIVING IN WEST TN BY MIDDAY TUESDAY.
TRICKY OVERNIGHT FORECAST FOR NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE MIDSOUTH.
THESE AREAS WERE UNDER THE DRYSLOT AT DISCUSSION TIME...BUT SHOULD
SEE SOME INCREASED SHOWER ACTIVITY OVERNIGHT WITH THE APPROACH OF
THE UPPER LOW. IT APPEARS THAT SUBFREEZING TEMPS OVER SOUTHEAST MO
WILL DROP INTO NORTHEAST AR THE MO BOOTHEEL OVERNIGHT. 00Z NAM
SOUNDINGS SUGGEST FREEZING RAIN/DRIZZLE POTENTIAL. MOISTURE WILL
BE LIMITED...AND WE DO NOT EXPECT ICE ACCUMULATIONS GREATER THAN
ONE QUARTER INCH. HAVE CONVERTED THE SNOW ADVISORY OVER TO A
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY...GIVEN THE SHORT TERM FREEZING
PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL. AS THE UPPER LOW NEARS AND THE COLUMN
COOLS.. EXPECT SOME SHOW SHOWERS DURING THE DAYLIGHT MORNING HOURS
FROM NORTHEAST AR...THROUGH THE MO BOOTHEEL AND NORTHWEST TN.
TEMPS OVER NORTHWEST TN LIKELY TOO WARM FOR SNOW TO STICK ON
ANYTHING BUT GRASSY AREAS. FURTHER WEST...MAY SEE 1 INCH... TO
ISOLATED 3 INCH AMOUNTS OVER NORTHEAST AR. BEST ACCUMULATION
CHANCES APPEAR TO BE NORTH OF A WALNUT RIDGE TO KENNETT LINE. KEEN
OBSERVERS IN THE MEMPHIS AREA MAY SEE A FLAKE OR TWO IN THE
AIR TUESDAY.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 411 PM CST MON MAR 3 2008/
DISCUSSION...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING...AND
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH MIDDAY TUESDAY ARE THE MAIN
FORECAST CHALLENGES.
AS FAR MODELS ARE CONCERNED...PREFERRED THE GFS MODEL...SO STAYED
FAIRLY CLOSE TO ITS SOLUTION.
AT 4 PM CST ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH
HEAVY RAINFALL WERE OCCURRING NORTH OF A CLARKSDALE MS TO
HENDERSON TN LINE. TEMPERATURES RANGED FROM THE UPPER 30S NEAR
POCAHONTAS AR TO MID 70S NEAR ABERDEEN MS. A COLD FRONT STRETCHED
OVER THE AREA FROM A SURFACE LOW NEAR PHILLIPS COUNTY AR TO
DRESDEN TN.
FIRST...APPEARS THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL IS ONLY CONFINED
TO NORTH MISSISSIPPI THROUGH 2 AM CST WHERE SURFACE INSTABILITY
IS PRESENT. TORNADO WATCH CURRENTLY COVERING AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH
OF A CHARLESTON MS TO ABERDEEN MS LINE MAY HAVE TO BE EXTENDED A
BIT FARTHER NORTH TO POSSIBLY INCLUDE OXFORD AND TUPELO MS...BUT
NOT AS FAR AS THE TN STATE LINE. WITH WEAK INSTABILITY EXPECTED...
LIFTED INDICES -1 TO -3...AND VERY LITTLE CAP IN PLACE...ONLY A
HANDFUL OF SEVERE WEATHER REPORTS ARE EXPECTED...MAINLY DAMAGING
WIND OF 60 MPH AND HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS. STILL CANNOT
RULE OUT A TORNADO OR TWO OVER N MS THIS EVENING. ANY SEVERE
WEATHER WILL BE OUT OF THE AREA BY 2 AM CST.
SECOND...HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING CAN BE EXPECTED OVER MANY PARTS
OF THE MIDSOUTH...PARTICULARLY ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 40.
OVER 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL HAS ALREADY OCCURRED OVER NE AR AND
MO BOOTHEEL. FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT AND ADDITIONAL
ONES MAY BE NEEDED AS TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN THE 2 TO 4 INCH
RANGE CAN BE EXPECTED. THE RAIN SHOULD END OVER MUCH OF THE AREA
BY MIDNIGHT CST...ENDING THE FLOOD THREAT. SINCE WARNINGS ARE IN
EFFECT...NO FLOOD WATCH WILL BE ISSUED.
THIRD...A WIND ADVISORY CONTINUES SOUTH OF A WYNNE AR TO
DRESDEN TN LINE THROUGH 6 PM CST WITH WIND GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH CAN
BE EXPECTED. BRIEF STRONG GUSTS IN THUNDERSTORMS AND JUST BEHIND
THE COLD FRONT CAN BE EXPECTED THIS EVENING...BUT DO NOT PLAN ON
EXTENDING THIS ADVISORY AT THIS TIME.
FOURTH...ISSUED A SNOW ADVISORY FOR AREAS NORTH OF A JONESBORO AR
TO CARUTHERSVILLE MO WHERE 1 TO 2 INCHES OF SNOWFALL CAN BE
EXPECTED BETWEEN 3 AM AND NOON CST TUESDAY WITH THE UPPER LOW
MOVING OVERHEAD. THINK THE PREDOMINANT PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL
BE SNOW...THOUGH SLEET MAY MIX IN ON THE ONSET.
AS FOR TEMPERATURES...STAYED CLOSE TO GFS/MAVMOS
GUIDANCE THROUGHOUT.
TUESDAY AND BEYOND...GENERALLY MADE VERY FEW CHANGES TO THE
PREVIOUS FORECAST AS RATHER TRANQUIL WEATHER CAN BE EXPECTED.
KEPT LOW CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION WEDNESDAY NIGHT/THURSDAY
AND AGAIN FRIDAY NIGHT...BUT CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW AND
ANY PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE.
OVERALL...BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED.
