DISCUSSION...
A SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK IS EXPECTED TODAY WITH VERY STRONG
SOUTHERLY GRADIENT WINDS CONTINUING TODAY IN ADVANCE OF A STRONG
COLD FRONT THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION.
INCREDIBLY WARM AND WINDY WEATHER WAS OCCURRING ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH
THIS MORNING. STRONG SOUTHERLY WIND WERE OCCURRING WITH WIND
GUSTS TO AROUND 50 MPH REPORTED IN SOME SPOTS ALONG AND WEST OF
THE MS RIVER. TEMPERATURES EARLY THIS MORNING WERE IN THE LOWER
AND MID 70S ACROSS THE AREA WITH DEW POINTS IN THE LOWER AND MID
60S. A COLD FRONT WAS PUSHING INTO SOUTHEAST MO...NORTHWEST AR AND
SOUTHEAST OK ABOUT ON SCHEDULE. THUNDERSTORMS WERE OCCURRING IN
ADVANCE OF THE FRONT ACROSS CENTRAL MO AND SOUTHWEST AR. THE
ATMOSPHERE ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH REMAINED CAPPED WITH NO CONVECTION
OCCURRING. THE 00Z LZK SOUNDING SHOWED A CAP OF OF ABOUT 3 DEGREES
C AT 800 MB.
THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED NORTH MS AND MUCH OF WEST TN
IN A MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER TODAY...AND EAST AR AND THE
MO BOOTHEEL IN A SLIGHT RISK. THIS LOOKS GOOD AND IN LINE WITH
EARLIER THINKING. A POSITIVELY TILTED TROUGH DIGGING INTO THE
WESTERN PLAINS WILL MOVE INTO THE MIDSOUTH TODAY AND TONIGHT AS IT
BECOME MORE NEUTRALLY TILTED. LATEST MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE
THE CONVECTION WILL INCREASE RAPIDLY IN ADVANCE OF THE COLD FRONT
AS THE CAP ERODES THIS MORNING...MOVING INTO NORTHEAST AR AND THE
MO BOOTHEEL EARLY THIS MORNING. CONVECTION WILL QUICKLY BECOME
LINEAR JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND INTENSIFY WITH DAYTIME HEATING.
AN INTENSE SQUALL LINE IS INDICATED NEAR THE MS RIVER BY LATE MORNING.
AS MENTIONED IN PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS...CONDITIONS WILL BE RIPE
FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. MIXED LAYER MUCAPE WILL INCREASE TO
BETWEEN 1500 AND 2200 J/KG WITH LIFTED INDICES OF MINUS 6 AHEAD OF
THE SQUALL LINE. SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST 925 MB WINDS WILL BE BETWEEN
60 AND 65 KTS. 0-1 KM SR HELICITY WITH RANGE BETWEEN 250 AND 400
M2/S2 WITH DECENT DIRECTIONAL SHEAR. THINK INTENSE AND DAMAGING
WINDS WILL OCCUR IN SOME LOCATIONS ALONG THE SQUALL LINE WITH
LARGE HAIL ALSO LIKELY. BOWING SEGMENTS ALONG THE SQUALL LINE MAY
PRODUCE EMBEDDED TORNADOES. ALSO CAN NOT FEW OUT A FEW DISCRETE
SUPERCELLS THAT WOULD PRODUCE TORNADOES IN ADVANCE OF THE SQUALL
LINE...ALTHOUGH THIS REMAIN LESS CERTAIN. BETWEEN 1 AND 2 INCHES OF
RAINFALL WILL ALSO BE COMMON...LOCALLY MORE...AND LOCALIZED FLASH
FLOODING MAY OCCUR.
FALLING TEMPERATURES WILL OCCUR BEHIND THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT
WITH READINGS NEAR 50 DEGREES BY THIS AFTERNOON SPREADING INTO THE
MIDSOUTH FROM THE NORTHWEST. WINDS WILL BECOME WEST TO NORTHWEST
BEHIND THE FRONT CONTINUING STRONG AND GUSTY...ALTHOUGH PROBABLY
NOT QUITE AS STRONG AS IN ADVANCE OF THE FRONT.
MUCH CALMER WEATHER WILL RETURN TONIGHT. WINDS WILL DIMINISH AND
SKIES WILL CLEAR. THINK TEMPERATURES WILL DROP TO THE LOWER AND
MID 30S ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. ADDED PATCHY OR AREAS OF FROST TO
PARTS OF NORTHEAST AR...THE MO BOOTHEEL...MUCH OF WEST TN...AND
PART OF NORTHEAST MS AFTER MIDNIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.
HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE IS SOMEWHAT LOW ON THE FROST POTENTIAL WITH
WINDS POTENTIALLY REMAINING UP ENOUGH TO KEEP FROST AT A MINIMUM.
WHILE SOME LOCATIONS WILL DROP TO NEAR FREEZING...THIS IS EXPECTED
TO BE BORDERLINE. THUS WILL HOLD OFF ISSUING A FREEZE WARNING OR
FROST ADVISORY AND LET THE DAYSHIFT EXAMINE. WILL CONTINUE TO
MENTION THIS POTENTIAL IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK.
BY MID-WEEK...WARMER WEATHER AND SUNSHINE CAN BE EXPECTED AS UPPER
LEVEL RIDGING SPREADS OVER THE MIDSOUTH. WEDNESDAY LOOKS TO BE A
VERY NICE DAY ALTHOUGH SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BE BREEZY.
THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST LOOKS WARM WITH INCREASING HUMIDITY.
WILL CONTINUE WITH SMALL POPS FROM THURSDAY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF
THE FORECAST AS THE ATMOSPHERE BECOMES MORE UNSTABLE ACROSS THE
MIDSOUTH.

.AVIATION...
12Z TAF CYCLE
NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS ARE DEVELOPING ACROSS ARKANSAS AT TAF
ISSUANCE TIME. THESE SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL TRACK EASTWARD ALONG
A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE MIDSOUTH TODAY. BEST TIMING APPEARS TO BE
BETWEEN 12-16Z AT KJBR...15-19Z AT KMEM...16Z-20Z AT KMKL...AND
18-22Z AT KTUP. IFR OR LOWER CIGS EXPECTED WITHIN THESE SHOWERS
AND STORMS ALONG WITH HEAVY RAIN AND LIMITED VSBYS.
GUSTY WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL SUBSIDE SOMEWHAT AS THE FRONT
DRAWS CLOSER..THEN INCREASE AGAIN OUT OF THE NORTHWEST POST
FRONTAL. CIGS EXPECTED TO RISE GRADUALLY LATE THIS AFTERNOON WITH
CLEAR SKIES BY 06Z.
