AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
358 PM CDT MON SEP 5 2011

.DISCUSSION...

TROPICAL DEPRESSION LEE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS
ALABAMA TONIGHT AND INTO THE SOUTHERN APPALACHAINS ON TUESDAY.
HEAVY RAINBANDS CONTINUE TO IMPACT NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND
PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST TENNESSEE NEAR THE TENNESSEE RIVER. THIS
SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THIS EVENING BEFORE THE HEAVIEST RAINS
MOVE EAST. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL CONTINUE OVER THESE AREAS
THROUGH 1 AM WITH ANOTHER 1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAINFALL POSSIBLE. THIS
WILL BE ON TOP OF THE 4 TO 10 INCHES WHICH HAS ALREADY FALLEN.
THIS ADDITIONAL RAIN WILL ONLY EXACERBATE ANY ONGOING FLOODING AND
PUSH AREA STREAMS AND RIVERS INTO FLOOD. CAUTION IS ADVISED IF
TRAVELING TONIGHT OVER THESE AREAS. REMEMBER TO NEVER DRIVE
THROUGH FLOODED AREAS. TURN AROUND DONT DROWN.

WINDY NORTH WINDS WILL ALSO CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT REMAINS TIGHT BETWEEN THE BUILDING SURFACE HIGH OVER THE
PLAINS AND THE REMNANT TROPICAL DEPRESSION LEE. THIS SHOULD KEEP
SUSTAINED WINDS BETWEEN 20 AND 30 MPH...WITH GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH
EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY THIS EVENING. A WIND ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN
PLACE THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING.

AS THE REMNENTS OF LEE MOVE FURTHER NORTHEAST AND AWAY FROM THE
REGION ON TUESDAY...EXPECT SKIES TO SLOWLY CLEAR FROM WEST TO EAST
AND A SLOW DECREASE IN WIND SPEEDS. CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN DRY
OVER THE MID SOUTH TOMORROW. DRY AND PLEASANT WEATHER SHOULD
CONTINUE THROUGH MID WEEK AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
OVERHEAD. TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN REFRESHINGLY COOL WITH HIGHS
MAINLY IN THE 70S WITH LOW HUMIDITY.

THE UPPER LEVEL REFLECTION OF LEE WILL BE LEFT BEHIND ACROSS THE
OHIO VALLEY EARLY THIS WEEK AS IT GETS CUT OFF FROM THE MAIN BELT
OF WESTERLY FLOW. THIS FEATURE SHOULD ACTUALLY RETROGRADE BACK
INTO THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BY THE END OF THIS WEEK AND NEXT
WEEKEND WITH AN INCREASED CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
RETURNING TO OUR AREA DURING THIS PERIOD. TEMPERATURES SHOULD
REMAIN BELOW SEASONAL AVERAGES THROUGH THE EXTENDED FORECAST
PERIOD.

.AVIATION...

TROPICAL DEPRESSION LEE CONTINUES TO BE THE MAIN FOCUS FOR TODAYS
18Z TAF CYCLE. TUP CONTINUES TO SEE CIGS NEAR 1K FEET IN LIGHT TO
MODERATE RAIN. KEPT IFR CONDITIONS IN THE TAF THROUGH 00Z FOR TUP. AT
THAT TIME CIGS SHOULD COME UP TO MVFR LEVELS AND RAIN SHOULD BE
EXITING THE AREA. OTHERWISE ACROSS THE REGION...VFR CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MIDSOUTH. WINDS WILL BE A CONCERN AS
SUSTAINED WINDS ON THE ORDER OF 15-20KTS GUSTING TO 30-35KTS IS
EXPECTED AT ALL TAF SITES DUE TO STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT FORCING
ASSOCIATED WITH TD LEE AND ADJACENT UPPER LEVEL RIDGE TO THE WEST.
