AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
1126 PM CDT TUE MAY 5 2009

.UPDATE...
UPDATED TO ADD 06Z AVIATION DISCUSSION.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1006 PM CDT TUE MAY 5 2009/

UPDATE...

EXPANDED FLASH FLOOD WATCH TO INCLUDE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA...
INCLUDING NE AR...MO BOOTHEEL...AND NW TN. ADDED HEAVY RAINFALL
MENTION IN THESE AREAS.

DISCUSSION...

HEAVY RAINFALL/FLASH FLOODING POTENTIAL TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON IS INCREASING OVER THE ENTIRE AREA...PARTICULARLY NORTH
OF I-40 WHERE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WAS EXPANDED. ALSO...THINK SEVERE
WEATHER POTENTIAL TONIGHT IS INCREASING SOUTH OF A FORREST CITY AR
TO SAVANNAH TN LINE.

REGARDING HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL...THINK THIS IS INCREASING OVER
THE AREA...PARTICULARLY NORTH OF I-40. NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER NW AR WHICH WILL MOVE EAST
THROUGH THE NIGHT AND BRING HEAVY RAINFALL TO AREAS NORTH OF I-40
AS WELL AS AREAS SOUTH. THINK 2 TO 4 INCHES OF RAINFALL CAN BE
EXPECTED IN THESE AREAS...AS WELL AS AREAS SOUTH OF I-40...WHICH
MAY CAUSE FLASH FLOODING.

REGARDING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...THIS IS INCREASING OVER
NORTH MS. LATEST RUC/NAM MODELS INDICATES A SURFACE LOW DEVELOPING
OVER WESTERN AR AND MOVING EAST THROUGH THE NIGHT ALONG OR JUST
SOUTH OF I-40. THIS WILL ALLOW THE AIR TO DESTABILIZE SOUTH OF
I-40 WITH STRONG LOW LEVEL JET...850 MB 40 KTS OR GREATER.
THUS...CONCERNED SURFACE WARM FRONT CURRENTLY NEAR A TEXARKANA AR
TO GREENWOOD MS LINE WILL MOVE NORTHEAST THROUGH THE NIGHT...WHICH
COULD PUT NORTH MS IN THE WARM SECTOR AFTER MIDNIGHT CDT. LARGE HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN HAZARDS...THOUGH COULD NOT
RULE OUT TORNADOES WITH HIGH 0-3 SRH VALUES. WILL EXPAND SLIGHT
RISK AREA A BIT FARTHER NORTH TO INCLUDE ALL OF NORTH MS AND ADD
A FEW TORNADOES POSSIBLE IN HWO. FARTHER NORTH...A FEW ELEVATED
STORMS MAY PRODUCE HAIL...BUT SEVERE POTENTIAL APPEARS TO BE
LOWER NORTH OF THE FORECAST SURFACE LOW TRACK.

HAVE UPDATED THE FORECAST.

MBS

PREV DISCUSSION...

/ISSUED 402 PM CDT TUE MAY 5 2009/

DISCUSSION...

WEAK SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION TO THE NORTH OF A
STATIONARY FRONT STALLED ACROSS CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI THIS AFTERNOON
WILL MOVE EAST TONIGHT. AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE IN ZONAL FLOW
ALOFT HAS HELPED TO INITIATE A LARGE AREA OF RAIN AND
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND A BOW ECHO OVER THE
ARKLATEX THIS AFTERNOON JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE STALLED FRONT.
MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE BEST FORCING FOR ASCENT TO CONTINUE
ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY THROUGH THE NIGHT
AS A LOW LEVEL JET INCREASES IN STRENGTH AND NOSES INTO THE FRONT.
MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE THAT THE FRONT WILL MOVE SLIGHTLY
NORTHWARD AHEAD OF A DEVELOPING SURFACE WAVE MOVING ALONG THE
FRONT TONIGHT. THINK THAT THE FRONT WILL ONLY MOVE SLIGHTLY NORTH
OF ITS CURRENT POSITION INTO NORTH MISSISSIPPI BY 12Z WEDNESDAY.
APPARENT ELEVATED INSTABILITY (AS INFERRED FROM CONVECTIVE OVER THE
ARKLATEX) SHOULD PERSIST JUST NORTH OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY INTO
NORTH MISSISSIPPI TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING AS LOW LEVEL JET
CONTINUES TO ADVECT INSTABILITY NORTHWARD ABOVE SHALLOW FRONTAL
INVERSION. IN ADDITION...SUFFICIENT SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH 60+KT
MID LEVEL JET SHOULD MOVE OVER THE AREA DURING THE SHORT TERM
PERIOD. THIS SHOULD ALLOW THE BOW ECHO OVER THE ARKLATEX TO
SUSTAIN ITSELF AS IT MOVES EAST TONIGHT WITH SOME THREAT FOR A FEW
SEVERE STORMS INTO PORTIONS OF NORTH MISSISSIPPI AFTER MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. WILL PLACE THIS AREA IN A SLIGHT
RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. HEAVY RAINFALL
WILL LIKELY ACCOMPANY THE SYSTEM AS WELL WITH A COUPLE INCHES OF
RAIN POSSIBLE. WILL KEEP THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN PLACE AS IS.

THE INITIAL MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM SHOULD MOVE EAST OF THE
AREA BY MIDDAY WEDNESDAY AS THE SHORTWAVE PULLS EAST. THIS SHOULD
BRING AN END TO CONVECTION AS SUBSIDENCE BEHIND THE SYSTEM
DEVELOPS AND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS PUSHED BACK SOUTH BY THE
MORNING CONVECTION.

THE FRONT SHOULD MOVE BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT WEDNESDAY NIGHT
WITH MUCH OF THE AREA PLACED BACK INTO THE WARM SECTOR ON
THURSDAY. BUILDING INSTABILITY FROM DAYTIME HEATING ALONG WITH
LOWER HEIGHTS ASSOCIATED WITH FAST WEST NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND
EMBEDDED WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES WILL LEAD TO ADDITIONAL
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. CONSIDERING THE
DEGREE OF EXPECTED SHEAR AND INSTABILITY...A FEW STORMS MAY BECOME
SEVERE.

A COLD FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH INTO THE MID SOUTH ON FRIDAY WITH
ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AHEAD OF THE FRONT.
AGAIN...SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY AND SHEAR ALONG WITH LIFT ALONG AND
AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL AGAIN SUPPORT THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS.

THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY STALL ACROSS THE MID SOUTH
THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS THE UPPER FLOW REMAINS PRIMARILY ZONAL.
THIS WILL LIKELY LEAD TO ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL AND POTENTIAL
FLOODING THROUGH THIS PERIOD. THE FRONT SHOULD DROP SOUTH BY EARLY
NEXT WEEK BEFORE RETURNING NORTH AS A WARM FRONT WITH ADDITIONAL
RAINFALL CHANCES.

JLH

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF CYCLE

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE ACROSS TAF SITES
OVERNIGHT AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES UP INTO THE MID SOUTH
TOWARDS WEDNESDAY MORNING. BASED ON LATEST MODEL DATA THINK CHANCE
FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL 07/00Z...WITH NO
PRECIPITATION THEREAFTER. VFR CONDITIONS WILL DETERIORATE TO MVFR
CONDITIONS MAINLY AFTER 07Z...AND PERHAPS IFR CONDITIONS BETWEEN
09-13Z. SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL VEER SOUTH THEN VEER SOUTHWEST/WEST
TOWARDS 07/00Z.
