AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
853 PM CDT THU APR 10 2008
.DISCUSSION...
A BUSY EVENING IN PROGRESS WITH TWO LINES OF SEVERE CONVECTION
MOVING ACROSS THE MID SOUTH. THE FIRST LINE HAS THE BEST
INSTABILITY WITH CAPE VALUES 600-800 J/KG AND HELICITY VALUES IN
EXCESS OF 500 M2/S2. THE SECOND LINE IS BEING AFFECTED BY COLDER
AIR ALOFT AND THE BEST FORCING. COORDINATED WITH SPC TO HAVE A
TORNADO WATCH FOR THE FIRST LINE AND A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH
FOR THE SECOND LINE. WINDS ARE STARTING TO DIMINSH BEHIND THE
FIRST LINE OF CONVECTION...HOWEVER WILL LET THE WIND ADVISORY
CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO AND THEN REEVALUATE. KEEPING AN
EYE ON RAINFALL RATES IN EXCESS OF 1.5 INCHES PER HOUR ALONG THE
SECOND LINE OF CONVECTION. ZONE FORECAST UPDATED FOR NOW. A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE CWA.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 309 PM CDT THU APR 10 2008/
DISCUSSION...
A MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER CONTINUES THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS
MUCH OF THE MID SOUTH. A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WAS
APPROACHING EASTERN ARKANSAS. THE SPC MESOANALYSIS PAGE SHOWED
SURFACE BASED CAPE VALUES OF UP TO 1500 J/KG AND LIFTED INDICES OF
-3 JUST AHEAD OF THIS LINE ALONG WITH HELICITY VALUES GREATER THAN
600 M2/S2. THERE REMAINS THE POTENTIAL FOR DISCRETE SUPERCELL
DEVELOPMENT AHEAD OF THE LINE...THEREFORE WILL CONTINUE TO
HIGHLIGHT THE RISK IN THE AFTERNOON PRODUCT SUITE.
SUSTAINED WIND SPEEDS AND GUSTS WILL REMAIN AT OR ABOVE ADVISORY
LEVEL UNTIL A SURFACE COLD FRONT SWEEPS ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT.
THERE IS ALSO A FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL FOR AREAS ALREADY SATURATED
FROM EXCESSIVE RAIN WHICH FELL THE PAST THREE WEEKS. QPF VALUES OF
AROUND ONE TO TWO INCHES CAN BE EXPECTED IN THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH
AREA...ESPECIALLY NEAR STRONGER STORMS. THE COLD FRONT IS SLOW
TO MOVE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE REGION ON FRIDAY SINCE THE H5 FLOW
BECOMES PARALLEL AND THE UPPER LEVEL FORCING MOVES WELL TO THE
NORTH OF THE AREA.
A DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH SETTLES IN OVER THE EASTERN U.S. THIS
WEEKEND AND DOES NOT MOVE OFF THE EAST COAST UNTIL TUESDAY NIGHT.
CLOUDY...COOL AND UNSETTLED WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST WITH
TEMPERATURES 15 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.
HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT WILL BUILD INTO THE CENTRAL U.S. DURING THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK FOR MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND NEAR NORMAL
TEMPERATURES.
