What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado 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 tornado warning went out at Jul 30, 1:02 PM CDT, 2 hours 34 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 30, 1:02 PM CDT, 2 hours 34 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
102 PM CDT THU JUL 30 2009

.UPDATE...
UPDATED FOR AVIATION.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1021 AM CDT THU JUL 30 2009/

UPDATE...
INCREASED POPS AND LOWERED HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR AREAS NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 40.

DISCUSSION...
AREA OF SHOWERS AND A FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES TO MOVE
NORTH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING. BELIEVE THIS COMPLEX
OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL PREVENT HIGH TEMPERATURES FROM GETTING MUCH
ABOVE 80 DEGREES ACROSS WEST TENNESSEE...THE MISSOURI
BOOTHEEL...AND NORTHEAST ARKANSAS. ANOTHER COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS
CURRENTLY ACROSS SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS WILL PUSH TOWARDS THE
MIDSOUTH LATER THIS AFTERNOON. CATEGORICAL POPS WILL BE THE RULE
TODAY WITH OFF AND ON WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AROUND
THE MIDSOUTH. CURRENT FLASH FLOOD WATCH LOOKS GOOD AND NO OTHER
CHANGES WERE NECESSARY.

KNS

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 256 AM CDT THU JUL 30 2009/

COLD FRONT AND ASSOCIATED SHORTWAVE WILL BEGIN TO MOVE INTO THE
MIDSOUTH BY LATER TODAY. WIDESPREAD RAIN WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS
IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE AREA THIS MORNING AHEAD OF THE
SYSTEM. EXPECT TODAY TO BE SIMILAR TO TUESDAY THUS WITH THE RAINY
CONDITIONS EXPECTED WILL GO BELOW GUIDANCE ON HIGHS. READINGS WILL
BE IN THE UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S. THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN AND
FLASH FLOODING WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS SYSTEM. A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH HAS ALREADY BEEN ISSUED.

TONIGHT...EXPECT THE HEAVIEST RAIN TO MOVE INTO THE CWA DURING THE
LATE AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING HOURS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT. THE
FRONT SHOULD CLEAR WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA BY 06Z ENDING THE
HEAVY RAIN THREAT. MAY NEED TO EXTEND FLASH FLOOD WATCH UNTIL 12Z
FOR EASTERN SECTIONS AS HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY
MORNING. LOWS WILL BE IN THE MID 60S TO LOWER 70S.

FRIDAY...COLD FRONT WILL STALL OUT SOUTH OF THE CWA. SOME LINGERING
RAIN MAY CONTINUE OVER EXTREME SOUTHERN OR SOUTHEASTERN SECTIONS OF
THE CWA. MEANWHILE...SOME DRIER AIR MAY FILTER INTO NORTHERN
SECTIONS OF THE CWA BEHIND THE FRONT. EXPECT HIGHS TO RETURN TO THE
MID 80S.

FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...FRONT WILL BEGIN TO LIFT BACK AS A WARM
FRONT...SPREADING RAIN BACK INTO THE MIDSOUTH. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL
HELP BUMP HIGHS UP INTO AT LEAST THE UPPER 80S ON SATURDAY.

SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY NIGHT...ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL SWING
INTO THE MIDSOUTH...CONTINUING THE CHANCES FOR RAIN. SOME CLEARING
MAY OCCUR ACROSS NORTHWESTERN SECTIONS SUNDAY NIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT.

MONDAY THROUGH END OF FORECAST...THE MIDSOUTH STAYS IN NORTHWEST
FLOW THUS SMALL DISTURBANCES CAN BE EXPECTED TO MOVE IN AND OUT OF
THE CWA SETTING OFF ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
BETTER CHANCES FOR RAIN MAY OCCUR TUESDAY AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT MAY
PUSH THROUGH THE CWA. FOR NOW WILL CONTINUE WITH SMALL POPS THROUGH
THE END OF THE FORECAST. TEMPERATURES MAY FINALLY RETURN TO THE
LOWER TO MID 90S BY WEDNESDAY AS THE UPPER RIDGE TRIES TO REBUILD BACK
INTO THE CWA. IF THIS OCCURS WEDNESDAY COULD BE A HOT AND HUMID DAY
WHICH COULD ALLOW HEAT INDICES TO AT LEAST RETURN OVER THE 100
DEGREE MARK POSSIBLY HIGHER.
