CDT.
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 414 AM CDT SAT APR 24 2010/
SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK EXPECTED TODAY...
DISCUSSION...
SEVERE WEATHER WILL OCCUR TODAY OVER THE FORECAST AREA.
LATEST MODELS WERE IN GOOD GENERAL AGREEMENT...AND USED A
BLEND OF THE THEM.
SHORTENED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH TO END AT 4 PM TODAY AS BELIEVE
ALL STORMS WILL BE EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA BY THEN.
AT 4 AM CDT...A LINE OF STRONG STORMS WERE OVER WEST TENNESSEE
NEAR HUNTINGDON. MEANWHILE...A NEW COMPLEX OF STORMS WERE RAPIDLY
DEVELOPING OVER WEST ARKANSAS WHERE A SURFACE LOW WAS DEVELOPING.
A DIFFUSE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM CONVECTION WAS NEAR A CLARKSDALE
TO STARKVILLE MISSISSIPPI LINE WHICH SEPARATED THE VERY UNSTABLE
AIR WITH DEWPOINTS 68 OR HIGHER TO ITS SOUTH FROM THE RAIN COOLED
MORE STABLE AIR TO ITS NORTH.
TODAY...SEVERE WEATHER WILL OCCUR OVER THE AREA WITHOUT
QUESTION...BUT EXACT TYPE...TIMING...AND LOCATIONS REMAIN THE
BIGGEST QUESTIONS. LATEST MODELS WERE IN GOOD AGREEMENT TRACKING A
LOW NORTH FROM SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS THIS MORNING TO CENTRAL ILLINOIS
THIS EVENING. THIS TRACK WOULD PLACE MUCH OF THE AREA IN THE
HIGHEST THREAT FOR SEVERE. LATEST FORECAST MODEL SEVERE PARAMETERS
REMAIN VERY IMPRESSIVE WITH VERY HIGH SHEAR WITH 500 MB WINDS 60
KTS OR GREATER...SURFACE PRESSURE FALLS OF 6 MB OR MORE...GOOD
INSTABILITY WITH SBCAPE UP TO 2000 J/KG...AND HIGH MOISTURE
CONTENT WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S TO NEAR 70 AND
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES UP TO 1.7 INCHES...NEAR 200 PERCENT
OF NORMAL.
THE ONLY POSSIBLE LIMITING FACTOR FOR SEVERE STORMS TODAY AS IF
RAIN COOLED RAIN NORTH OF THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY MENTIONED IN THE
THIRD PARAGRAPH COULD NOT MODIFY. THIS SCENARIO SEEMS UNLIKELY AS
SURFACE LOW TRACK WEST OF THE FORECAST AREA AND INCREASING LOW
LEVEL WINDS SHOULD BE PLENTY ENOUGH TO MODIFY THE AIR AND ALLOW
VERY MOIST AIR WITH DEWPOINTS 68 DEGREES AND HIGHER TO SURGE
NORTH. CURRENT HIGH AND MODERATE RISK AREAS HANDLE THIS WELL. IF
AIR NORTH OF THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY MODIFIES BETTER THAN
ANTICIPATED...HIGH RISK AREA MAY HAVE TO BE SHIFTED NORTH...TO
POSSIBLY INCLUDE MEMPHIS... JACKSON...AND I-40 CORRIDOR.
NORTHEAST ARKANSAS AND MISSOURI BOOTHEEL WOULD HAVE A HARDER TIME
TO RECOVER...BUT EVEN THESE AREAS COULD EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT
SEVERE. NORTH MISSISSIPPI HAS THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE TODAY
WHERE MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL NOT BE A PROBLEM WITH
SURFACE DEWPOINTS NEAR 70.
VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SIGNIFICANT SEVERE TODAY. BELIEVE MOST SEVERE
WILL OCCUR ALONG A FAST MOVING SQUALL LINE/QCLS THAT WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE AREA...PERHAPS ENTERING PHILLIPS COUNTY ARKANSAS AS
EARLY AS 7 AM...PROGRESSING THROUGH THE AREA...MOVING EAST OF THE
TENNESSEE RIVER NO LATER THAN 4 PM. WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS OF
60 MPH SEEM TO BE THE MAIN HAZARD WITH THIS LINE...THOUGH ISOLATED
POCKETS MAY GET EXTREME WINDS OF 80 MPH OR GREATER. TORNADOES MAY
SPIN UP AND BE EMBEDDED IN THE LINE AS WELL. CANNOT RULE OUT LARGE
HAIL AS WELL.
SUPERCELLS AHEAD OF THE MAIN SQUALL LINE/QLCS WILL PROBABLY OCCUR
AS WELL TODAY...ESPECIALLY AS LATEST RADARS INDICATED ROBUST
DEVELOPMENT OVER SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS. THESE SUPERCELLS WOULD HAVE
THE HIGHEST TORNADO POTENTIAL. WITH VERY HIGH SHEAR AND
INSTABILITY...LONG LIVED SUPERCELLS AND VIOLENT TORNADOES
ARE POSSIBLE ANYWHERE OVER THE AREA...WITH BEST CHANCES OVER
NORTH MISSISSIPPI WHERE INSTABILITY WILL BE BEST.
KEPT FLASH FLOOD WATCH AS HEAVY RAINFALL 1 TO 3 INCHES WITH
RAINFALL RATES ABOVE 1 INCH PER HOUR ARE DEFINITELY POSSIBLE WITH
HIGH MOISTURE AND LIFT. SHORTENED IT TO END AT 4 PM AS FAIRLY
CONFIDENT ALL STORMS WILL BE EAST OF THE AREA BY THEN.
WIND ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT TODAY THROUGH 10 PM WITH GRADIENT WINDS
20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS OVER 40 MPH EXPECTED...EVEN OUTSIDE OF
THUNDERSTORMS.
AFTER 4 PM...WINDY CONDITIONS CAN BE EXPECTED ALONG WITH RAPID
CLEARING. WENT ABOVE MODEL GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS THINKING
TEMPERATURES WILL RAPIDLY RECOVER WITH ABUNDANT LATE DAY SUN.
TONIGHT...WINDS WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH AND COOLER CONDITIONS CAN BE
EXPECTED. THINK RAINFREE CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR...SO REMOVED RAIN CHANCES.
SUNDAY...COLD CORE MID/UPPER LOW WILL SKIRT THE AREA...ALLOWING
FOR INCREASING CLOUDS. EXPECT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON...MAINLY NORTH OF
I-40. WITH FORECAST LIFTED INDICES -1 TO -3 AND STEEP LAPSE RATES...
CANNOT RULE OUT AN ISOLATED STRONG STORM OR TWO WITH SMALL
HAIL...BUT NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO ADD MENTION TO HWO AT THIS
TIME. HIGHS WILL BE NEAR AVERAGE IN THE 70S.
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...A FEW SHOWERS MAY LINGER MAINLY EAST
OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY...BUT
GENERALLY THINK DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL. REMOVED RAIN CHANCES
MONDAY THINKING MOISTURE WILL BE TOO LIMITED. 00Z MAVMOS
TEMPERATURES WERE ACCEPTED.
MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...DRY AND QUIET CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED WITH A SLOW WARMING TREND.
FRIDAY AND NEXT WEEKEND...SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY MOVE BACK INTO
THE AREA. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF A SEVERE STORMS WERE TO OCCUR.
NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO ADD MENTION AT THIS TIME.
