PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 623 PM CDT THU OCT 29 2009/

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 302 PM CDT THU OCT 29 2009/

SKIES ARE MOSTLY CLOUDY ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS
AFTERNOON. THE AREA OF RAIN THAT MOVED THROUGH THE REGION EARLIER
TODAY IS NOW NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. THIS AREA OF RAIN
PRODUCED ENOUGH RAIN TO MAKE OCTOBER 2009 THE WETTEST OCTOBER
RECORDED AT MEMPHIS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND TUPELO ONLY NEEDS AN
ADDITIONAL 0.05 INCHES OF RAIN TO SET A NEW OCTOBER RAINFALL
RECORD. WARM FRONT EXTENDS FROM SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA ACROSS SOUTHERN
ARKANSAS INTO CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI. TEMPERATURES VARY FROM THE
UPPER 50S TO THE MID 70S. COLD FRONT IS CURRENTLY EXTENDING FROM
SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA SOUTH IN THE CENTRAL TEXAS. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE FORMED AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. AS THE COLD
FRONT MOVES CLOSER TO THE FORECAST AREA...SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE BACK INTO THE REGION. LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE
FORECAST AREA WHERE 3 TO 6 INCHES OF RAIN COULD FALL. WILL KEEP
FLASH FLOOD WATCH AS IS FOR NOW AS WATCH COVERS AREA WHERE THE
HEAVIEST RAIN IS EXPECTED. IN ADDITION TO THE HEAVY RAINFALL...
THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER TONIGHT OVER EAST
ARKANSAS AND THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL WITH DAMAGING WINDS BEING THE
MAIN THREAT.

BY FRIDAY MORNING...THE COLD FRONT BEGINS MOVING INTO THE FORECAST
AREA BRINGING MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WARMER AIR WILL BE
MOVING INTO THE FORECAST AREA AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT WITH
TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S OVER NORTH MISSISSIPPI. AT THIS POINT IT
APPEARS THAT THE MAIN THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER SHOULD REMAIN
SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA BUT AN ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
OVER NORTH MISSISSIPPI CANT BE RULED OUT. BY FRIDAY NIGHT...THE
COLD FRONT SHOULD BEGIN TO EXIT THE FORECAST AREA SO THE THREAT OF
RAIN WILL CONTINUE.

BY SATURDAY...THE FRONT SHOULD BE EAST OF THE REGION BUT UPPER LOW
WILL PASS THROUGH THE REGION SO THERE WILL BE A SMALL CHANCE OF
LIGHT RAIN MAINLY DURING THE MORNING HOURS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BEGIN TO BUILD INTO THE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT BRINGING THE
BEGINNING OF AN EXTENDED DRY PERIOD TO THE REGION WITH NO RAIN
EXPECTED FROM SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL
BE A LITTLE COOLER THAN NORMAL FOR THE ENTIRE PERIOD BUT NOT
DRAMATICALLY COLD.
