The radar

The Columbus AFB radar (KGWX), 144 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 19:34 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Little Rock, AR (KLZK), launched 12:00Z, 7.6 hours before the alert went out and 171 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Memphis, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Apr 2, 12:46 PM CDT, 1 hour 48 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 2, 12:46 PM CDT, 1 hour 48 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
1246 PM CDT THU APR 2 2009

.DISCUSSION... ISSUED 944 AM CDT THU APR 2 2009

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN AND
CENTRAL ARKANSAS. COULD BE A HAIL THREAT WITH THESE THUNDERSTORMS
BUT THE STORMS HAVE SHOWN A WEAKENING TREND AS THEY APPROACH THE
FORECAST AREA. SURFACE LOW HAS DEVELOPED OVER SOUTH CENTRAL
LOUISIANA WITH WARM FRONT EXTENDING EAST ACROSS THE GULF COAST. IT
APPEARS THAT MAIN SEVERE THREAT FOR TODAY WILL BE SOUTH OF THIS
WARM FRONT AS IT MOVES NORTH THIS AFTERNOON. EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER
OVER THE REGION HAS KEPT TEMPERATURES FROM WARMING MUCH SO WILL
UPDATE FORECAST TO LOWER HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR THIS AFTERNOON.

ARS

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... ISSUED 420 AM CDT THU APR 2 2009

SEVERE WEATHER THREAT IS THE PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN THIS
MORNING AS A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ACROSS NORTH TEXAS MOVES
EAST ACROSS THE AREA LATER TODAY.

CLOUDS ARE CONTINUING TO INCREASE ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH THIS MORNING
AS HIGH CLOUDS FROM THE NORTH AND LOW STRATUS CLOUDS FROM THE
SOUTH MOVE INTO THE AREA. SOUTHERLY FLOW IS SLOWLY DEVELOPING BUT
THE JUICY AIR WITH GREATER THAN 60 DEGREE DEWPOINTS REMAINS ALONG
THE INTERSTATE 20 CORRIDOR. THIS MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK
ITS WAY INTO PORTIONS OF THE AREA ESPECIALLY NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI
TODAY. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL
ARKANSAS BY MIDDAY AS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BEGIN TO MOVE INTO
THE FORECAST AREA.

THERE STILL REMAINS SOME UNCERTAINTY JUST HOW FAR NORTH THE DEEPEST
MOISTURE AND GREATEST INSTABILITY WILL REACH ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA. REGARDLESS...THINK NORTH MISSISSIPPI WILL HAVE THE BEST
CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER TODAY SO WILL KEEP THIS AREA MENTIONED
IN THE MODERATE RISK. SURFACE BASED CAPES ARE STILL IN THE 1000 TO
1500 J/KG RANGE WITH LIFTED INDICES BETWEEN -3 AND -7. COMBINED
THIS WITH STRONG UPPER LEVEL WINDS...STEEP LAPSE RATES...AND DEEP
LAYER SHEAR...THE MAIN HAZARDS WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE
HAIL...AND ISOLATED TORNADOES.

ELSEWHERE ACROSS EASTERN ARKANSAS...WEST TENNESSEE...AND THE
MISSOURI BOOTHEEL...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.
OBVIOUSLY...MUCH DEPENDS ON THE EXACT TRACK OF THE SURFACE
LOW...BUT AT THIS TIME THINK MOST OF THESE STORMS SHOULD BE
ELEVATED WITH THE MAIN HAZARDS BEING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS.

THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE NORTHEAST OF THE MIDSOUTH TONIGHT
AS COOLER AND DRIER AIR MOVE INTO THE AREA. THERE MAY BE A FEW
SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTHEAST SECTIONS OF
THE FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING...BUT THINK MOST OF THESE SHOULD
EXIT THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE
REGION ON FRIDAY ALLOWING MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES TO DEVELOP WITH BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES EXPECTED FOR HIGHS. DRY BUT WARMER CONDITIONS
CAN BE EXPECTED ON SATURDAY AS THE SURFACE HIGH MOVES EAST AND
SOUTHERLY FLOW INCREASES.

THE NEXT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS
AND INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY BY SATURDAY NIGHT.
CLOUDS WILL INCREASE DURING THIS TIME FRAME AS A TRAILING COLD
FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA. THIS SYSTEM HAS SPED UP IN TIMING SO
HAVE ADJUSTED POPS AND CLOUDS ACCORDINGLY. STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS LOOK UNLIKELY ON SUNDAY AT THIS POINT BUT CONCERN
NOW TURNS TO THE POSSIBILITY OF FREEZING TEMPERATURES BEHIND THIS
COLD FRONT.

DEEP UPPER TROUGH WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT AND
MONDAY WHICH WILL KEEP CLOUDS AND A FEW SHOWERS OVER THE AREA.
THIS WILL PROBABLY KEEP TEMPERATURES ABOVE FREEZING MONDAY
MORNING BUT TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE WELL BELOW NORMAL DURING
THIS TIME FRAME. THINK ONCE THIS TROUGH SHIFTS EAST...COLD HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE AREA AND INCREASE THE RISK FOR AN
AREA WIDE FREEZE TUESDAY MORNING.

DRY AND COOL CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ON TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
DOMINATES THE WEATHER OVER THE AREA. ANOTHER SURFACE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS ON
WEDNESDAY AND MAKE ITS WAY TOWARDS THE AREA. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND INTO THURSDAY AS
THE NEXT SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH THE MIDSOUTH.

KNS

&&

.AVIATION...

18Z TAF CYCLE

STRONG AND DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE ALONG WITH AN ASSOCIATED COLD
FRONT WILL MOVE RAPIDLY THROUGH THE MID-SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON AND
EARLY EVENING. NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR AT
ALL TAF SITES WITH OCCASIONAL IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS...GRADUALLY
ENDING FROM THE WEST BETWEEN 00Z AND 03Z. LOW CLOUDS SPREADING
INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST AFTER 00Z WITH CEILINGS 800 TO 1000
FT. WINDS INCREASING IN SPEED THIS AFTERNOON BECOMING STRONG AND
GUSTY FROM THE WEST BEHIND THE FRONT. WINDS DECREASING SOME AFTER
09Z. CEILINGS BEGINNING TO SLOWLY LIFT FROM THE WEST AFT 13Z AS
HIGH PRESSURE STARTS TO BUILD INTO THE AREA.
