AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
1028 AM CST MON JAN 28 2008

.UPDATE...

WILL ADJUST TEMPERATURES FOR THIS AFTERNOON...MAINLY TO LOWER THEM
NORTH OF INTERSTATE 40 AND INCREASE THEM SOUTH. ALSO...WILL MAKE
MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO SKY COVER AND ADDED CHANCE OF SPRINKLES NORTH
OF A JONESBORO AR TO UNION CITY TN LINE.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

MUCH WARMER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE MIDSOUTH THIS AFTERNOON.

AT 1015 AM CST...DRY CONDITIONS WERE OCCURRING OVER THE MIDSOUTH.
SKIES WERE MOSTLY CLOUDY NORTH OF INTERSTATE 40 AND PARTLY
SUNNY SOUTH. TEMPERATURES RANGED FROM THE MID 30S OVER NE AR AND
THE MO BOOTHEEL TO THE MID 40S NEAR MEMPHIS AND NORTH MS.

REST OF TODAY...THINK DRY AND WARMER CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL.
ADDED SPRINKLE MENTION NORTH OF THE LINE MENTIONED ABOVE...BUT
CHANCES OF MEASURABLE RAINFALL APPEAR TO BE LOW THIS AFTERNOON AS
THE LOW LEVELS WILL BE VERY DRY. CLOUD COVER WILL BE THICKEST
FARTHER NORTH. ANY LOW CLOUDS AND FOG WEST OF THE MS RIVER WILL
DISSIPATE BY NOON CST AS WINDS INCREASE.

TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE VERY TRICKY DEPENDING ON CLOUD
COVER AND AMOUNT OF SUN. FOR AREAS SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40...THINK
HIGHS APPROACHING OR EXCEEDING 60 IS POSSIBLE WITH EXCELLENT WARM
AIR ADVECTION AND SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS...SO WILL RAISE HIGHS.
NOT TO MENTION...THE CURRENT COLD AIR OVER THE AREA IS VERY
SHALLOW...LESS THAN 1500 FT DEEP...WHICH WILL MIX OUT BETTER TODAY
WITH STRONGER WINDS. FARTHER NORTH...MORE CLOUDS WILL KEEP
TEMPERATURES DOWN...BUT STILL THINK READINGS WILL REACH THE 50S.

WILL HAVE UPDATE OUT SHORTLY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 257 AM CST MON JAN 28 2008/

DISCUSSION...

LOW CLOUDS AND DENSE FOG HAVE REDEVELOPED OVER THE WESTERN HALF
OF THE MID SOUTH THIS MORNING. WHERE THE DENSE FOG HAS FORMED
TEMPERATURES ARE AT OR JUST BELOW FREEZING SO SOME SLICK SPOTS ARE
POSSIBLE ON BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES THIS MORNING. A FREEZING FOG
ADVISORY CONTINUES UNTIL 9 AM WEST OF A DYERSBURG TENNESSEE TO
OXFORD MISSISSIPPI LINE. ACROSS EASTERN SECTIONS SKIES ARE MOSTLY
CLEAR WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 20S.

WE WILL BE FINALLY BE RID OF THE LOW CLOUDS AND FOG TODAY. LOW
PRESSURE DEVELOPING OVER THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS WILL
STRENGTHEN THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE REGION. THIS WILL MIX
OUT ANY FOG AND LOW CLOUDS BY LATER THIS MORNING. AS A RESULT OF
THE POTENTIAL SUNSHINE LOST TO LOW CLOUDS AND FOG THIS MORNING
EXPECT THE HIGH TEMPS WILL ONLY REACH INTO THE MID AND UPPER 50S
THIS AFTERNOON...INSTEAD OF THE 60S LIKE PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT.
SURFACE WINDS WILL PICK UP BY THIS AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY ACROSS
EASTERN ARKANSAS WHERE GUSTS TO 30 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE. A WIND
ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED THOUGH NOT CONFIDENT WE WILL SEE SUSTAINED
WINDS OF 25 MPH.

INCREASING ISENTROPIC LIFT IN ADVANCE OF THE APPROACHING COLD
FRONT WILL PRODUCE SOME SHOWERS AND PERHAPS AN ELEVATED THUNDERSTORM
TONIGHT. STRONG SOUTHERLY SURFACE FLOW WILL RESULT IN A MILD NIGHT
WITH LOWS ONLY AROUND 50.

TUESDAY WILL BE WINDY AS A STRONG UPPER TROF AND ASSOCIATED COLD
FRONT WILL SWEEP THOUGH THE MID SOUTH. WIND FIELDS ARE IMPRESSIVE
WITH THIS SYSTEM WITH 850 MB WINDS OF OVER 60 KTS AND 500 MB WINDS
OF OVER 100 KTS. HOWEVER INSTABILITY REMAINS MARGINAL WITH LIFTED
INDICES AROUND 0C AND SBCAPES OF 200-300 J/KG. CONTINUE TO THINK
THAT THE BEST CHANCE FOR STRONGER STORMS WILL BE ACROSS NORTH
MISSISSIPPI WHERE SURFACE DEWPOINTS MAY APPROACH 60F. IF A LITTLE
MORE INSTABILITY CAN DEVELOP IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRONT TUESDAY
AFTERNOON THEN SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES WILL OBVIOUSLY INCREASE
ACROSS THE MID SOUTH.

THE SYSTEM QUICKLY EXITS THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT. THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT BEHIND THE COLD FRONT IS VERY STRONG WHICH SHOULD
RESULT IN SOME VERY GUSTY WINDS...40 MPH+...ACROSS THE AREA LATE
TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND TUESDAY EVENING...FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE
QUICKLY BUILDING IN. WEDNESDAY WILL BE DRY AND SEASONABLY COOL.
HAVE CUT TEMP GUIDANCE FOR WEDNESDAY SINCE THE SURFACE HIGH IS OVER
THE REGION AND ANY TEMP ADVECTIONS WILL BE WEAK.

THE NEXT SYSTEM TO IMPACT THE REGION WILL COME ON THURSDAY. THE
ECMWF AND GFS ARE IN BALLPARK AGREEMENT WITH MOVING A POWERFUL
UPPER LOW INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND ACROSS
THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT. THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW WILL TRACK
SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE MID SOUTH DURING THAT PERIOD. RAIN CHANCES
WILL BE HIGH THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT WITH SEVERE WEATHER
CHANCES CONFINED TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE MID SOUTH.

THE SYSTEM CLEARS OUT FOR FRIDAY THOUGH CLOUDS AND LIGHT PRECIP
MAY LINGER...ESPECIALLY ACROSS EASTERN SECTIONS. WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL START THE WEEKEND THOUGH A WEAK
OVERRUNNING SCENARIO MAY SET UP FOR LATER IN THE WEEKEND WITH RAIN
CHANCES RETURNING.
