The radar

The Columbus AFB radar (KGWX), 101 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:19 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, 9.2 hours before the alert went out and 113 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.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 13, 3:19 PM CDT, 55 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
319 PM CDT MON JUN 13 2011

.DISCUSSION...

CURRENTLY...AN INTENSE BOW ECHO IS MOVING SSE THROUGH MUCH OF TEH
MID SOUTH. THIS FEATURE MOVED THROUGH THE MEMPHIS METRO AREA WITH
WIND GUSTS OVER 70 MPH IN PLACES AND PLENTY OF DAMAGE. THIS BOW
WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK SSE THROUGH MUCH OF NORTH MISSISSIPPI OVER
THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS WHERE TEMPS IN THE MID 90S AND DEWPOINTS IN THE
LOWER 70S ARE PROVIDING PLENTY OF FUEL TO SUSTAIN THE SYSTEM.
BEHIND THE BOW THE AIRMASS HAS STABILIZED AND COOLED OFF WITH
TEMPS IN THE LOWER TO MID 70S. MORE CONVECTION CONTINUES TO FIRE
ACROSS MISSOURI AND MOVE SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE MID SOUTH.

THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT...AFTER THE BOW ECHO MOVES OUT OF THE
AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON THINGS SHOULD START TO QUIET DOWN. THE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER SOUTHEAST MISSOURI WILL MOVE SOUTH
INTO THE AREA AND PROBABLY WEAKEN THANKS TO THE COOL STABILIZED AIR
OVER THE REGION. SHOULD SEE AT LEAST SOME PATCHY FOG THANKS TO THE
RAIN. BY 10 PM CDT OR SO MOST OF THE CONVECTION SHOULD DIE OFF.
LATER TONIGHT EXPECT ANOTHER MCS TO FIRE A LITTLE EAST OF WHERE
TODAYS SYSTEM IGNITED...PROBABLY NEAR ST LOUIS...AND POSSIBLY MOVE INTO
NORTHWEST TENNESSEE LATE TONIGHT/TUESDAY MORNING. HAVE INCLUDED
SOME POPS TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER WHILE
LEAVING SOUTHERN AREAS RAIN FREE LATER TONIGHT.

TUESDAY...THE STATIONARY FRONT ACROSS THE REGION SHOULD MOVE A
LITTLE TO THE NORTHEAST AS THE UPPER RIDGE TRIES TO BUILD OVER
THE MID SOUTH. ANY MCS ACTIVITY THAT DEVELOPS ACROSS THE MID
MISSISSIPPI AND WESTERN OHIO VALLEYS SHOULD TRACK FURTHER EAST AND
HAVE GONE WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER POPS ALONG THE TN RIVER INTO PARTS
OF NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. SHOULD BE MUCH LESS ACTIVITY IN THE
DELTA REGION TOMORROW WITH VERY WARM CONDITIONS AS 925MB TEMPS
SURGE TO AROUND 28C THERE. HIGHS WILL RANGE FROM THE UPPER 90S
NEAR CLARKSDALE TO MID 80S NEAR PARIS. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF
SEVERE STORMS ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER WHICH OF COURSE WILL DEPEND
ON THE TRACK OF ANY MCS DEVELOPMENT.

TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK
INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THEN ACROSS ILLINOIS AND INDIANA
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. THE ASSOCIATED WEAK COLD FRONT WILL
MOVE SLOWLY ACROSS THE MID SOUTH WHILE A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE
MOVES BY TO THE NORTH. THESE FEATURES SHOULD PROMOTE SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH AND WILL CONTINUE
WITH CHANCE POPS. TEMPS WILL WARM INTO THE LOWER AND MID 90S AHEAD
OF THE WEAK FRONT. DUE TO THE EXPECTED INSTABILITY AND SOME
INCREASE IN WIND SHEAR THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER
ACROSS MOST OF THE MID SOUTH WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

THURSDAY...NAM AND ECMWF BOTH SHOW THE BOUNDARY REMAINING SOUTH
OF THE AREA WHICH SHOULD RESULT IN A BREAK IN ACTIVITY. TEMPS MAY
BE A LITTLE COOLER...IN THE LOWER 90S.

FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...THE BOUNDARY SHOULD LIFT BACK TO THE
NORTH AS AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE MIDSOUTH THROUGH THE
PERIOD. RAIN CHANCES WILL BE ON THE DECREASE THROUGH THE PERIOD
WITH MOST OF THE SHOWER/THUNDERSTORMS ACTIVITY REMAINING NORTH OF
THE AREA. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS WILL CONTINUE WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER
TO MID 90S...POSSIBLY HIGHER BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ON TUESDAY FOR
EXTREME NORTHEAST ARKANSAS...THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL...AND PORTIONS
OF WEST TENNESSEE. A WARM FRONT WILL ONCE AGAIN MOVE NORTHEAST AND
STALL OUT OVER THE ABOVE MENTIONED AREAS. THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP NEAR AND ALONG THIS BOUNDARY WHERE INSTABILITY AND SHEAR
WILL BE ENHANCED. THE MAIN THREATS WITH ANY OF THESE POTENTIAL
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL.

THERE IS ALSO A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ON WEDNESDAY
AND POSSIBLY WEDNESDAY EVENING ACROSS MOST OF THE MID SOUTH. SURFACE
LOW PRESSURE AND AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE NORTH OF THE
AREA WHILE THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE MIDSOUTH. AS A
RESULT SOME SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL BE NEEDED ACROSS NORTH MISSISSIPPI THIS
AFTERNOON AND ACROSS PARTS OF THE AREA TUESDAY AND AGAIN WEDNESDAY.
