AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
442 AM CDT TUE MAR 18 2008

.DISCUSSION...

ACTIVE WEATHER WILL RETURN TO THE MIDSOUTH OVER THE NEXT 24-36
HOURS. MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS FOR THE FORECAST PACKAGE REMAIN THE
POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL OVER NORTHWEST PARTS OF THE REGION TO
POSSIBLY SEVERE WEATHER OVER SOUTHERN AREAS OF THE MIDSOUTH...AND
FINALLY GUSTY WINDS ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA.

MODELS THIS MORNING IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT OVER THE PATTERN IN THE
SHORT TERM. UPPER SYSTEM OVER THE SOUTHWEST U.S. WILL CONTINUE TO
LIFT TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST...WITH A SURFACE LOW OVER SOUTH TEXAS
LIFTING TOWARDS THE NORTHEAST AS WELL.

PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL CONTINUE TO TIGHTEN AS THE DAY PROGRESSES AS
UPPER TROUGH EJECTS TOWARDS THE REGION. GUSTY SOUTHERLY/SOUTHEASTERLY
WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE. WINDS BETWEEN 20 AND 30 MPH WILL BE LIKELY
WITH GUSTS TO NEAR 40 MPH TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. AT THIS TIME...
WILL GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A WIND ADVISORY FOR THE ENTIRE FORECAST
AREA 12Z TUESDAY UNTIL 12Z WEDNESDAY.

MOISTURE CONTINUES TO STREAM IN THE MIDSOUTH THIS MORNING WITH UPPER
50 TO LOWER 60 DEWPOINTS OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA WITH
SLIGHTLY LOWER DEWPOINTS OVER THE EASTERN LOCATIONS. WITH WARM AIR
ADVECTION CONTINUING TODAY...TEMPERATURES SHOULD CLIMB INTO THE
LOWER AND MIDDLE 70S ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS IN ADVANCE OF UPPER
TROUGH/COLD FRONT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO
INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY AS THE DAY PROGRESSES.
HOWEVER...BELIEVE THAT THE BULK OF RAIN WILL OCCUR WEST OF THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON SPREADING
ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION TUESDAY EVENING INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING.

HEAVY RAINFALL STILL APPEARS LIKELY WITH THE NE-SW BOUNDARY MOVING
SLOWLY THROUGH THE AREA. THIS WILL PROMOTE A PROLONGED RAIN EVENT
FOR NORTHWEST LOCATIONS. BELIEVE THE CURRENT FLOOD WATCH HAS A GOOD
HANDLE OF THE SITUATION SO WILL NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES THERE. 3 TO 6
INCHES OF RAIN COULD FALL IN THE WATCH AREA WITH 1 TO 3 INCHES
ELSEWHERE.

AS FAR AS SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL...MODELS CONTINUE TO DEPICT THE
SURFACE LOW TRACKING OVER THE MIDSOUTH. DYNAMICS WITH THIS SYSTEM
ARE PRETTY IMPRESSIVE WITH A 500MB JET OF 80-90 KNOTS AND A LOW
LEVEL JET OF 55-65 KNOTS RACING TOWARDS THE MIDSOUTH TONIGHT. BUT
INSTABILITY APPEARS TO BE THE LIMITING FACTOR AT THIS TIME WITH
ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE AREA. BELIEVE THAT A SQUALL LINE
WILL DEVELOP JUST AHEAD OF THE EASTWARD MOVING COLD FRONT.
LOCATIONS ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40 WILL BE THE AREAS MOST
LIKELY PRONE TO SEVERE WEATHER. THREATS WILL INCLUDE DAMAGING
WINDS ALTHOUGH ISOLATED TORNADOES MAY BE POSSIBLE WITH BOWING
SEGMENTS AND/OR ANY BROKEN SEGMENTS THAT DEVELOP.

SYSTEM WILL PUSH OFF THE EAST DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY. LINGERING
CLOUD AND RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY MORNING AS THE UPPER
TROUGH SWINGS THROUGH THE REGION. TEMPERATURES WILL BE A GOOD
10-15 DEGREES COOLER ON WEDNESDAY BEHIND THE DEPARTING FRONT.

DID NOT MAKE TOO MANY CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED PART OF THE FORECAST.
NEARLY ZONAL FLOW WILL PERSIST FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK.
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT DIVES TOWARDS
THE REGION SUNDAY AND INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. LEFT THE 20-30 POPS ON
GOING IN THE FORECAST.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD BACK INTO THE REGION AT THE BEGINNING OF
NEXT WEEK WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
