Area forecast discussion, Aug 7, 1:12 PM CDT, 54 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
112 PM CDT THU AUG 7 2008

.UPDATE...

COLD FRONT IS CURRENTLY PUSHING THROUGH NORTHEAST ARKANSAS.
THEREFORE HAVE DECREASED POPS NORTHWEST OF A FORREST CITY ARKANSAS
TO PARIS TENNESSEE LINE. ALSO LOWERED HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR MOST
OF THE MIDSOUTH DUE TO RAIN COOLED AIR AND MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES ELSEWHERE.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1059 AM CDT THU AUG 7 2008/

UPDATE...

NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE PUSHING SOUTHEAST ACROSS
THE MIDSOUTH THIS MORNING AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT. FLASH FLOODING
APPEARS TO BE THE MAIN CONCERN WITH WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN.
INCREASED POPS SLIGHTLY FOR TODAY AND DECREASED HIGH TEMPERATURES
IN NORTHEAST ARKANSAS AND WEST TENNESSEE WHERE RAIN HAS FALLEN. SEVERE
POTENTIAL LOOKS TO BE MORE PROMINENT LATER THIS AFTERNOON ALONG
AND SOUTH OF I-40 AS THE FRONT PUSHES INTO A MORE UNSTABLE
AIRMASS. UPDATED HWO WILL BE OUT SHORTLY.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 431 AM CDT THU AUG 7 2008/

DISCUSSION...08Z SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACES A WEAK COLD FRONT FROM
KENTUCKY BACK THROUGH SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND INTO THE CENTRAL
PLAINS. ACROSS THE MID SOUTH THIS MORNING CLOUD COVER HAS BEEN
GRADUALLY INCREASING AS THE FRONT BEGINS TO DRIFT SOUTH WITH
TEMPERATURES MOSTLY IN THE 70S. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL TODAY
IS THE PRIMARY FOCUS IN THIS FORECAST PACKAGE.

A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE MID SOUTH TODAY. REGIONAL
WSR-88D RADAR TRENDS INDICATE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING
ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND NORTH CENTRAL ARKANSAS.
HOWEVER...THIS ELEVATED CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY HAS BEEN WEAKENING AS
IT MOVES INTO THE MID SOUTH WHERE WEAK RIDGING IS STILL IN PLACE.
NONETHELESS...EXPECTING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE
DEVELOPING WITH BEST CHANCES OF RAINFALL MAINLY SOUTH OF I-40 THIS
AFTERNOON IN ASSOCIATION WITH DAYTIME INSTABILITY. DESPITE
SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY...NOT OVERLY IMPRESSED WITH AN ORGANIZED
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT TODAY AS 700-500 MB LAYER MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES WILL AVERAGE BELOW 6 C/KM. IF A COLD POOL CAN DEVELOP
ACROSS NORTH MISSISSIPPI THIS AFTERNOON FROM ONGOING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...AN ISOLATED THREAT OF DAMAGING WINDS/NICKEL SIZE
HAIL MAY BE POSSIBLE...MAINLY ACROSS NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI.

THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA
TONIGHT AND FRIDAY WITH RAIN CHANCES COMING TO AN END BY FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE MID SOUTH. LONG RANGE
MODELS STILL INDICATE THE FRONT MOVING BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT
SUNDAY THEN STALLING OUT ACROSS THE MID SOUTH FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THE PERIOD. AS A RESULT...KEPT RAIN CHANCES IN THE FORECAST FOR
SUNDAY AND BEYOND.
