Area forecast discussion, Dec 25, 10:12 AM CST, 7 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
1012 AM CST SUN DEC 25 2011

.UPDATE...
RAIN WAS EXITING NORTHEAST MS AT MIDMORNING...AS MOIST SUBTROPICAL
UPPER LEVEL FLOW CONTINUED OVER MOST OF THE MIDSOUTH. GOES WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATED AN EMBEDDED SHORTWAVE OVER SOUTH TX...
WHICH MAY HELP KEEP CLOUDS IN PLACE THIS AFTERNOON...AT LEAST
SOUTH OF I40.

FORECAST WAS RECENTLY UPDATED TO REMOVE OR LOWER POPS...INCREASE
CLOUDS AND LOWER FIRST PERIOD TEMPS.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 507 AM CST SUN DEC 25 2011/

DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 355 AM CST SUN DEC 25 2011/

EARLY MORNING TEMPERATURES RANGE FROM THE MIDDLE 30S TO LOWER 40S
ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH...COOLEST IN WEST TENNESSEE NEAR THE TENNESSEE
RIVER...WITH THE WARMEST IN PORTIONS OF NORTH CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI.
CLOUD COVER VARIES GREATLY FROM SOUTH TO NORTH...WITH CLOUDY
CONDITIONS ACROSS MOST OF NORTH MISSISSIPPI...AND ONLY A FEW HIGH
CLOUDS IN THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL AND NORTHEAST ARKANSAS. RAIN IS
NOT MAKING MUCH PROGRESS NORTH AS EXPECTED. SHOWERS ARE ONGOING
SOUTH OF A LINE FROM TUNICA TO TUPELO. INDIVIDUAL SHOWERS ARE
TRACKING TO THE EAST AT AROUND 50 MPH...BUT THE OVERALL RAIN MASS
IS SHIFTING VERY SLOWLY TO THE NORTH.

PRECIPITATION WILL TAPER OFF THROUGH MIDDAY TODAY AS A SHORTWAVE
RIDGE BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST. RAINFALL ACCUMULATION WILL BE
HEAVIEST NEAR THE ALABAMA STATE LINE IN NORTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI...BUT STILL NO MORE THAN AROUND A TENTH OF AN INCH.

GUIDANCE HAS COME IN A BIT COOLER AND SLOWER WITH THE NEXT STORM
SYSTEM. A CUTOFF LOW WILL LIKELY TAKE ITS TIME LATE SUNDAY INTO
NEXT WEEK SHIFTING OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...GENERALLY FOLLOWING
THE RED RIVER ACROSS NORTH TEXAS. THE POSITION OF THE UPPER LEVEL
LOW IS SLIGHTLY FARTHER SOUTH THAN PREVIOUS RUNS. A SURFACE LOW
WILL DEVELOP IN THE NATURAL BAROCLINIC ZONE ALONG THE TEXAS COAST THEN
MOVE QUICKLY INLAND ACROSS LOUISIANA INTO CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI
TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS IS A FAIRLY GOOD SETUP FOR SNOW IN THE
MIDSOUTH. HOWEVER...EVEN THOUGH TEMPERATURES ARE SLIGHTLY COOLER
IN CURRENT MODEL RUNS...THEY STILL DO NOT LOOK COOL ENOUGH FOR
MUCH WINTRY WEATHER. AT THIS TIME WILL CARRY A RAIN/SNOW MIX IN A
SMALL PORTION OF NORTHEAST ARKANSAS AND THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING... DIRECTLY UNDER THE 540DM
UPPER LEVEL LOW. ELSEWHERE...EXPECT ONLY COLD RAIN. IF GUIDANCE
CONTINUES TO TREND COOLER THE SNOW AREA COULD BE EXPANDED...BUT DO
NOT FEEL THAT SCENARIO IS LIKELY AT THIS TIME.

ANY SNOW WILL CHANGE BACK TO RAIN EARLY TUESDAY AS TEMPERATURES
WARM. THE LOW WILL TRACK TO THE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE APPALACHIANS
ON TUESDAY. CONSIDERABLE WRAP AROUND MOISTURE WILL KEEP A FEW RAIN
SHOWERS ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH THROUGH THE DAY TUESDAY. SKIES WILL
REMAIN CLOUDY THROUGH THE DAY.  RAIN WILL COME TO AN END LATE
TUESDAY. THE AIRMASS BEHIND THE STORM SYSTEM DOES NOT LOOK
CONSIDERABLE COLDER...BUT CLEARING SKIES WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES
TO DROP BELOW FREEZING WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY MORNINGS.

DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY INTO THE WEEKEND. NORTHWEST
FLOW WILL SET UP ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH. A COUPLE OF UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCES WILL SHIFT ACROSS THE AREA...BUT MOISTURE IS NOT
EXPECTED TO BE SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE MUCH MORE THAN A FEW CLOUDS.
TEMPERATURES WILL TREND SLIGHTLY WARMER THURSDAY THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. HIGHS BY SATURDAY SHOULD APPROACH 60 DEGREES AT THE
WARMEST LOCATIONS.

.AVIATION...

12Z TAF SET

VFR CONDITIONS GENERALLY EXPECTED OVER NEXT 24 HOURS. THE ONE
EXCEPTION WILL BETWEEN TAF ISSUANCE AND 16Z AT KTUP WHERE MVFR
VSBYS AND/OR CIGS COULD MOVE IN TEMPORARILY DUE TO A HEAVIER RAIN
BAND. OTHERWISE ONLY MID TO HIGH CLOUDS EXPECTED OVER THE AREA.
LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD.
