.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 256 PM CDT SUN APR 3 2011/

DISCUSSION...

..SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK LIKELY MONDAY...

STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE OCCURRING ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH AND WILL CONTINUE
INTO TONIGHT. SPEEDS BETWEEN 20 TO 35 MPH SUSTAINED HAVE BEEN
COMMON WITH GUSTS UP TO 45 MPH. WILL CONTINUE WIND ADVISORY AS A
RESULT. THE WINDS CONTINUE TO PUMP IN WARM MOIST AIR FROM THE GULF
OF MEXICO. DEWPOINTS HAVE RISEN INTO THE LOWER 60S ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE AREA. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CURRENTLY OVER CENTRAL IOWA WILL
TRACK NORTHEASTWARD INTO MICHIGAN TONIGHT. AS A RESULT...A STRONG
COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN SINKING SOUTH AND EAST. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OUT AHEAD OF THIS FRONT AND MOVE INTO
NORTHEAST ARKANSAS AND THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL AROUND 10-12Z. AT
THIS TIME...BELIEVE SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG BUT BEST
CHANCES FOR SEVERE STORMS WOULD OCCUR AFTER 15Z ON MONDAY. LOWS
WILL BE MILD WITH READINGS IN THE 60S. AFTER MIDNIGHT...STRATUS
CLOUDS WILL QUICKLY INVADE THE CWA TURNING MOSTLY CLEAR CONDITIONS
TO CLOUDY.

MONDAY...UNSTABLE AIRMASS ALREADY IN PLACE SHOULD INTENSIFY AS
DAYTIME HEATING OCCURS. STRATUS CLOUDS MAY IMPEDE INSTABILITY SOME
BUT THE QUESTION WILL BE HOW MUCH. EXPECT BY AFTERNOON CAPE VALUES
SHOULD APPROACH 2500 J/KG ESPECIALLY OVER NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI.
LI/S OF -4 WILL OCCUR OVER MUCH OF THE AREA WITH THE 12Z GFS
SHOWING -6 LI/S OVER NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. MODELS HAVE FINALLY
COME IN AGREEMENT WITH TIMING. AFTER 12Z...EXPECT SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO BEGIN DEVELOPING OVER EASTERN ARKANSAS...THE
MISSOURI BOOTHEEL AND EXTREME WEST TENNESSEE AHEAD OF THE FRONT.
AFTER 15Z...MODELS INDICATE THE CAP WILL BREAK.
THEREAFTER...EXPECT AN EXPLOSION OF DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE CWA. THIS WOULD BE THE
BEGINNING OF THE TIME FRAME FOR BEST CHANCES OF SEVERE STORMS
AHEAD OF THE FRONT. SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD BE IN THE FORM OF
DISCRETE SUPERCELLS WHERE TORNADOES...DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE
HAIL WOULD BE THE GREATEST THREATS. THE AREA EAST OF A LINE FROM
CHARLESTON MISSISSIPPI...TO OXFORD MISSISSIPPI...TO BOLIVAR
TENNESSEE...TO DECATURVILLE TENNESSEE HAS THE GREATEST POTENTIAL
OF SEEING THE DISCRETE SUPERCELLS. ALSO BY 15Z...A SQUALL LINE
ALONG THE COLD FRONT WILL BEGIN MOVING INTO EASTERN ARKANSAS.
EXPECT THE SQUALL LINE TO BE SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE
HAIL...AND HEAVY RAIN THAT MAY CAUSE LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING.
ALTHOUGH CAN/T RULE OUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO FORMING ON THE LINE.
SQUALL LINE WILL MOVE SOUTH AND EAST THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE
DAY. AT 18Z...SHOULD BE LOCATED NEAR THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND BY
00Z THE LINE SHOULD BE EXITING THE CWA. STRONG GRADIENT WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO OCCUR AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND FOR A BRIEF TIME BEHIND
THE FRONT. WILL EXTEND THE WIND ADVISORY THROUGH MONDAY. HIGHS
WILL OCCUR IN THE MORNING UNTIL 18Z DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE
LOCATED. ONCE FRONT MOVES THROUGH TEMPERATURES WILL DROP INTO THE
MID 50S TO LOWER 60S. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE MID 60S TO MID 70S.

MONDAY NIGHT...LINGERING RAIN WILL OCCUR OVER NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI
AND PORTIONS OF WEST TENNESSEE NEAR THE TENNESSEE RIVER THROUGH
ABOUT 3-4Z. THEREAFTER...HIGH PRESSURE WILL QUICKLY BUILD INTO THE
CWA. IF CLOUDS CLEAR OUT AND WINDS ARE ABLE TO DIE OFF AS MODELS
ARE INDICATION THEN A FREEZE OR FROST IS POSSIBLE OVER MUCH OF THE
CWA. MAV GUIDANCE IS A TAD WARMER THAN THE MET GUIDANCE WITH 36
DEGREES VERSUS 32 DEGREES AT MKL. WILL LET NEXT SHIFT DECIDE ON
ANY FROST OR FREEZE PRODUCTS THAT MAY NEED TO BE ISSUED.

TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER THE
REGION. COOL CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING. THEREAFTER...HIGH PRESSURE WILL SHIFT EAST ALLOWING
SOUTHERLY WINDS TO BRING WARMER TEMPERATURES BACK INTO THE AREA.
EXPECT MOSTLY CLEAR CONDITIONS DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. HIGHS ON
TUESDAY WILL BE IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S. ANOTHER FROST COULD
OCCUR MAINLY ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF WEST TENNESSEE AND EXTREME
NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI TUESDAY NIGHT AS LOWS DIP DOWN INTO THE MID
30S. BY WEDNESDAY...HIGHS WILL BE BACK INTO THE 70S.

THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP
OVER THE PLAINS AS AN UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO SLIDE EAST OF THE AREA.
SOME WARM AIR ADVECTION SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS COULD OCCUR
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING OVER THE MIDSOUTH OUT AHEAD OF
THE SYSTEM. A COLD FRONT WILL THEN BEGIN TO SINK SOUTH ON FRIDAY
BUT WILL BECOME STALLED JUST NORTH OF THE MISSOURI/ARKANSAS AND
KENTUCKY/TENNESSEE BORDERS. THE FRONT WILL REMAIN STALLED THROUGH
SATURDAY NIGHT BEFORE IT LIFTS BACK NORTH TOWARD ST. LOUIS.
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR ALONG AND SOUTH
OF THE FRONT. BEST CHANCES WILL OCCUR ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF
THE CWA DUE TO THE PROXIMITY OF THE FRONT WHERE AS SOUTHERN
LOCATIONS COULD STAY DRY DURING THIS TIME FRAME. THE LOW WILL
BEGIN TO PUSH EAST ON SUNDAY PUSHING THE FRONT BACK TO THE SOUTH
AND EAST. FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE CWA JUST BEYOND END OF FORECAST
PERIOD. WARM WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THIS TIME PERIOD THANKS
TO THE SOUTHERLY WINDS. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE 70S/80S WITH LOWS IN
THE 60S.

KRM

.AVIATION...

18Z TAF CYCLE

CLEAR...DRY BUT WINDY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH
OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. AFTER 06Z...LOW CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO
OVERSPREAD THE AHEAD OF A STRONG STORM SYSTEM. SHOWERS AND PERHAPS
A THUNDERSTORM WILL APPROACH JBR AROUND 12-13Z AND PUSH EAST
ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH...LIKELY DEVELOPING INTO A NARROW LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS. AT THE MOMENT WE ARE EXPECTING THE GREATEST
POTENTIAL FOR STRONG/SEVERE STORMS AT JBR BETWEEN 16 AND
18Z...MEM BETWEEN 18 AND 20Z...MKL FROM 19 TO 22Z...AND TUP
BETWEEN 20 AND 23Z. IF THE SQUALL LINE SPEEDS UP EASTERN SITES
SUCH AS MKL AND TUP COULD SEE STRONGER STORMS A BUT EARLIER. WIND
GUSTS TO 45 KNOTS AND IFR VISIBILITY CAN BE EXPECTED IN
ASSOCIATION WITH THE SQUALL LINE. OTHERWISE...EXPECT VICINITY
THUNDERSTORMS WITH SHOWERS AND MVFR CEILINGS ACROSS MOST OF THE
MIDSOUTH DURING THE DAY TOMORROW. WINDS WILL SHIFT WEST THEN
NORTHWESTERLY BEHIND THE SQUALL LINE. WIND SPEEDS WILL DIMINISH A
BIT BUT REMAIN AROUND 15 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO 25 FOR MOST OF THE
TAF CYCLE.

THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE INTO THE MIDSOUTH AROUND SUNRISE MONDAY
SPREADING EASTWARD DURING THE DAY. NUMEROUS SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
ARE EXPECTED WITH DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL...AND A FEW
TORNADOES. IN ADDITION...RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TO BE OCCASIONALLY
