AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
844 PM CDT THU JUL 30 2009
.UPDATE...
WHAT A VERY ACTIVE WEATHER EVENT FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
WITH REPORTS OF TORNADOES...DAMAGING WINDS...AND FLASH FLOODING.
WITH THE WESTERLIES SUPPRESSED WELL SOUTHWARD FOR THE MONTH OF
JULY...WE HAVE SEEN AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG SEVERE WEATHER EVENT.
AT MID-EVENING...SURFACE LOW PRESSURE OF ABOUT 1009 MB WAS LOCATED
JUST NORTHEAST OF MEMPHIS WITH A TRAILING COLD FRONT SOUTHWARD
INTO NORTHWEST MS. THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO MOVE TO
THE NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT DRAGGING THE COLD FRONT THROUGH THE
MIDSOUTH. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING INTO THE MIDSOUTH WILL ALSO
MOVE EAST OF THE REGION OVERNIGHT. THE THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER IS
QUICKLY ENDING AS THE ATMOSPHERE BECOMES LESS UNSTABLE ACROSS THE
MIDSOUTH. HOWEVER...FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS REMAIN IN EFFECT FROM EAST-
CENTRAL AR INTO MUCH OF WEST TN...DUE TO EARLIER HEAVY RAIN AND
ALSO HEAVY RAIN STILL MOVING THROUGH WEST TN. WILL KEEP FLASH
FLOOD WATCHES IN PLACE FOR NOW. THE NAM MODEL INDICATES ADDITIONAL
RAINFALL DEVELOPING OVERNIGHT ACROSS NORTH MS AHEAD OF THE
APPROACHING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND COLD FRONT. THE THREAT FOR
HEAVY RAIN DOES APPEAR TO BE DIMINISHING ACROSS PORTIONS OF
NORTHEAST AR AND THE MO BOOTHEEL...AND WILL BE EVALUATING THIS
AREA FOR POSSIBLY CANCELING THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH EARLY. WILL ALSO
BE ABLE TO CANCEL THE REMAINDER OF THE TORNADO WATCH SOON. UPDATED
TO MAKE MINOR CHANGES TO GRIDS / ZONES FOR NOW.
JCL
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 339 PM CDT THU JUL 30 2009/
COMPLEX OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING BRINGING HEAVY RAINFALL CAUSING
FLASH FLOODING AND POSSIBLE STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. THE
MAIN HAZARDS WITH ANY SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THAT DEVELOPS ACROSS
NORTH MISSISSIPPI AND WEST TENNESSEE WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND
LARGE HAIL...ALTHOUGH CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO. FEEL
PRETTY CONFIDENT THAT MOST AREAS WILL SEE RAINFALL AFTER 00Z SO
HAVE CONTINUED WITH CATEGORICAL POPS FOR TONIGHT. SURFACE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM CURRENTLY SITUATED ACROSS SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS WILL
MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT AND MOVE NORTHEAST OF THE
AREA BY MORNING ENDING THE HEAVY RAINFALL CHANCES. A FEW SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE PRESENT ACROSS NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND
WEST TENNESSEE EARLY FRIDAY. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL STILL BE BELOW
NORMAL ON FRIDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 80S EXPECTED.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRIEFLY BUILD ACROSS THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT
GIVING WAY TO DRY CONDITIONS. BUT ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE
WILL MOVE THROUGH THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH STILL OVER THE REGION.
AS A RESULT...ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE
EXPECTED ON SATURDAY...SATURDAY NIGHT...AND SUNDAY. ONCE
AGAIN...BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES CAN BE EXPECTED WITH THE
ADDITIONAL CLOUD COVER AND RAINFALL ACROSS THE AREA.
SUNDAY NIGHT AND INTO MONDAY WILL BE BRIEFLY DRY WITH HIGH
PRESSURE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA. HOWEVER...ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE WILL GLANCE THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT BRINGING AN INCREASE
IN RAIN CHANCES FOR THE AREA. HOWEVER THIS TIME...RAINFALL
AMOUNTS WILL BE LIGHT WITH LESS THAN A HALF OF AN INCH EXPECTED.
BY MIDWEEK...THE GFS ADVERTISES THAT THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE
CENTRAL PLAINS WILL FINALLY BEGIN TO BUILD OVER THE AREA BRINGING
MUCH DRIER AND WARMER CONDITIONS TO THE MIDSOUTH. IF THIS PANS
OUT...DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE WEDNESDAY THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY
WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES AROUND NORMAL IN THE LOWER 90S. HOWEVER...THE
ECMWF CONTINUES AN ACTIVE AND WET PATTERN NEXT WEEK SO WILL NEED
TO SEE FUTURE MODEL RUNS TO SEE HOW THIS TIME PERIOD WILL PLAY
OUT.
KNS
&&
.AVIATION...
00Z TAF CYCLE
SEVERE THREAT IS QUICKLY EVOLVING INTO A FLASH FLOODING THREAT
WITH VERY HEAVY RAINFALL OVER MANY OF THE TAF SITES ALONG WITH
POOR VISIBILITIES. LOW CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES IN HEAVY RAIN
WILL TRANSITION TO PROBLEMS FROM LOW CLOUDS AND FOG LATER TONIGHT.
SOUTH WINDS WILL LIKELY SWITCH AROUND NORTHWEST AS SURFACE LOW
PRESSURE LIFTS FURTHER NORTHEAST AWAY FROM THE AREA. SKIES SHOULD
BECOME BKN TO POSSIBLY EVEN SCT BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON WITH LIGHT
WINDS.
