DISCUSSION...

..SEVERE WEATHER EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF THE MID SOUTH TONIGHT...

SHORT-TERM (TONIGHT-THURSDAY)...

SURFACE LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO ORGANIZE OVER SOUTHWEST MISSOURI
THIS AFTERNOON WITH A WARM FRONT EXTENDING EAST TOWARDS ST. LOUIS
WITH A TRAILING COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHWEST OF THE LOW ACROSS
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS INTO EASTERN OKLAHOMA. THE WARM SECTOR AIRMASS
COVERING MUCH OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY IN ADVANCE OF THE
COLD FRONT HAS BECOME STRONGLY UNSTABLE...BUT CONDITIONAL DUE TO
THE PRESENCE OF A LOW LEVEL CAPPING INVERSION BASED AROUND 5KFT AS
OBSERVED ON THE 18Z SPECIAL LZK SOUNDING. THIS INVERSION WILL
CONTINUE TO INHIBIT CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT OVER MUCH OF THE WARM
SECTOR THROUGH THIS EVENING OVER THE MID SOUTH.

A WELL DEFINED MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH POSITIONED OVER THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS LATE THIS AFTERNOON WILL CONTINUE TO
MOVE EAST TONIGHT. AS THIS OCCURS...EXPECT COOLER MID LEVEL
TEMPERATURES/HEIGHT FALLS TO BEGIN OVERSPREADING THE WESTERN EDGE
OF THE LOW LEVEL WARM SECTOR AIRMASS. THIS SHOULD AID IN
DESTABILIZATION ALONG THE COLD FRONT AS IT MOVES EAST THIS
EVENING. ISOLATED SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEGUN TO ERUPT
ALONG THE FRONT OVER SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AS OF 20Z...AND
DEVELOPMENT SHOULD CONTINUE TO OCCUR ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE
BOUNDARY AS IT MOVES EAST INTO NORTH CENTRAL ARKANSAS TO THE
ARKLATEX REGION BY LATE AFTERNOON. AS THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH TAKES
ON AN INCREASINGLY NEGATIVE TILT THIS EVENING...THERE IS SOME
POTENTIAL FOR PRE-FRONTAL ISOLATED SUPERCELLS TO DEVELOP WHICH MAY
MOVE NORTHEAST AND IMPACT PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST ARKANSAS AND THE
MISSOURI BOOTHEEL BETWEEN 00-02Z. CONFIDENCE IN WHETHER THE
CAPPING INVERSION CAN WEAKEN SUFFICIENTLY TO SUPPORT PREFRONTAL
ISOLATED SUPERCELLS IS STILL LOWER THAN PREFERRED. MOST OF THE
MESOSCALE MODELS AND TO A DEGREE THE GFS SHOWS THIS POTENTIAL. IF
THESE STORMS CAN DEVELOP...THEY COULD POSE AN ENHANCED THREAT FOR
TORNADOES AND POTENTIALLY VERY LARGE HAIL. THE GREATEST POTENTIAL
FOR THIS OCCURRENCE WILL REMAIN ACROSS NORTHEAST ARKANSAS/MISSOURI
BOOTHEEL.

INDIVIDUAL SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING TO THE WEST ALONG
THE COLD FRONT SHOULD EVENTUALLY CONGEAL INTO A QUASI-LINEAR
CONVECTIVE SYSTEM (SQUALL-LINE) WITH EMBEDDED SUPERCELLS AS THE
SHEAR BECOMES INCREASINGLY UNIDIRECTIONAL. THIS QLCS WILL MOVE
EAST INTO A MODERATELY UNSTABLE LOW LEVEL ENVIRONMENT ACROSS THE
MID SOUTH AFTER SUNSET. THE THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT SHOULD BE
CHARACTERIZED BY SBCAPE BETWEEN 1500-2500J/KG...LI/S FROM -6C TO
-8C...AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES IN EXCESS OF 8.5C/KM. PLENTY OF
SHEAR SHOULD PERSIST AS WELL ACROSS THE PREFRONTAL WARM SECTOR
WITH 0-6KM BULK SHEAR VALUES IN EXCESS OF 50KTS AND 0-1KM SRH IN
EXCESS OF 300M2/S2 MAINLY FROM SPEED SHEAR. AS THE LINE OF STORMS
PROGRESSES INTO NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA EXPECT THE LOW
LEVEL INVERSION TO BE REMOVED BY A COMBINATION OF THE FRONT/MID
LEVEL COOLING/CONVECTIVELY GENERATED COLD POOL. THUNDERSTORMS
SHOULD BE SEVERE AS THEY MOVE INTO THE MODERATE RISK AREA WHICH
INCLUDES NORTHEAST ARKANSAS/MISSOURI BOOTHEEL THIS EVENING AND
INTO WEST TENNESSEE LATER TONIGHT. THE KINEMATIC/THERMODYNAMIC
ENVIRONMENT SHOULD ALLOW STORMS TO REMAIN SEVERE WITH DAMAGING
WINDS...SOME SIGNIFICANT/WIDESPREAD IN POTENTIAL LONG LIVED BOW
ECHOES...AND LARGE HAIL IN THE MODERATE RISK AREA. THERE WILL ALSO
BE A SECONDARY THREAT FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES.

AS THE STORMS MOVE FURTHER SOUTHEAST...THE LINE SHOULD SLOW AND
BECOME ORIENTED MORE WEST TO EAST AS THE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT LIFTS
OUT TO THE NORTHEAST. THIS WILL BE MOST LIKELY ACROSS THE SLIGHT
RISK AREA INCLUDING NORTH MISSISSIPPI AFTER MIDNIGHT WHERE THE
SEVERE THREAT SHOULD SLOWLY DIMINISH WITH ISOLATED WIND DAMAGE AND
AN INCREASING FLASH FLOOD THREAT DEVELOPING. THERE REMAINS SOME
UNCERTAINTY WITH RESPECT TO WHERE THE GREATEST FLASH FLOOD THREAT
WILL DEVELOP. THEREFORE HAVE DECIDED TO HOLD OFF ON A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH FOR NOW...BUT ONCE AREAS BECOME BETTER DEFINED A WATCH MAY
BECOME NECESSARY. THE EVENING SHIFT WILL CLOSELY MONITOR THIS
POTENTIAL.

THE FRONT SHOULD STALL OUT SOMEWHERE ACROSS NORTH MISSISSIPPI ON
WEDNESDAY. THE ATMOSPHERE SHOULD BECOME QUITE UNSTABLE ALONG AND
SOUTH OF THIS FRONT AS DAYTIME HEATING OCCURS. THIS SHOULD SUPPORT
THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS. CONSIDERING THE AVAILABLE
INSTABILITY THERE MAY BE AN ISOLATED PULSE SEVERE THREAT...WITH
THE POTENTIAL FOR MICROBURST DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. DUE TO
THE LACK OF WIND SHEAR...THE CONVECTION SHOULD NOT BE WELL
ORGANIZED. FURTHER NORTH...DRIER AND COOLER AIRMASS WILL ADVECT IN
AND LIMIT THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT.

THE STALLED FRONT SHOULD LIFT BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AND THURSDAY WITH A RENEWAL OF CONVECTION ALONG AND NORTH OF
THE FRONT. CONDITIONS WILL BECOME WARM AND HUMID SOUTH OF THE
FRONT AND STILL COOL TO THE NORTH. THE THREAT FOR STRONG/SEVERE
STORMS MAY OCCUR AGAIN WITH THE WARM FRONT...AND THIS THREAT WILL
BE REASSESSED IN LATER SHIFTS.

LONG-TERM (THURSDAY NIGHT-NEXT TUESDAY)...

SURFACE WARM FRONT WILL BE POSITIONED JUST NORTH OF THE MIDSOUTH BY
THURSDAY EVENING WITH MUCH OF THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHIFTING
NORTH LATE THURSDAY NIGHT. MAINTAINED LOW CHANCES ACROSS THE ENTIRE
AREA WITH A DIMINISHING TREND OVERNIGHT AS CAP STRENGTHENS AND LIFT
WANES. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN STEADY OR SLOWLY RISE ACROSS
NORTHERN AREAS AS FRONT LIFTS THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.

THIS WARM FRONT WILL TRANSITION INTO A QUASI-STATIONARY FRONT FRIDAY
AND REMAIN PARKED FROM THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY INTO THE OHIO
VALLEY FOR MUCH OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD. KEPT POPS LOW ACROSS THE
NORTH WHERE THE FRONT MAY MEANDER BACK SOUTH FROM TIME TO TIME. THIS
MEANDERING WILL BE GOVERNED BY OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES LEFT BEHIND FROM
MCS GROWTH AND PROPAGATION NEAR THE FRONT AND THUS QUITE DIFFICULT TO
PREDICT THIS FAR OUT. THE REST OF THE MIDSOUTH WILL REMAIN CAPPED
AND UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ANTICYCLONIC FLOW...HAMPERING MUCH IF
NOT ALL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. THUS...REMOVED POPS FROM FRIDAY
THROUGH MONDAY MORNING FOR AREAS SOUTH OF I-40. SHOULD BE QUITE WARM
AND HUMID WITH A PERSISTENT...DEEP STRONG SOUTHERLY FLOW THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. HIGHS IN THE MID OR UPPER 80S AND LOWS IN THE MID 60S TO
LOWER 70S SEEMS PROBABLE.

CYCLOGENESIS WILL FORM TO THE LEE OF THE ROCKIES ON THE WESTERN END
OF THE STALLED FRONT IN THE CENTRAL PLAINS EARLY NEXT WEEK. THIS
FEATURE WILL TRACK INTO THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TUESDAY.
SURFACE COLD FRONT HEADING TOWARD THE AREA WILL GIVE THE NEXT SHOT
AT HIGHER POPS IN THE MONDAY NIGHT-TUESDAY TIME FRAME.

.AVIATION...

00Z TAF CYCLE

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST FOR A FEW MORE HOURS BEFORE SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVE INTO THE REGION BRINGING MVFR CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITIES. THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL START AROUND
04Z AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND INTO WEDNESDAY
MORNING. ONCE THUNDERSTORMS MOVE OUT OF REGION LOW CEILINGS WILL
REMAIN THROUGH MID-MORNING BEFORE A GRADUALLY LIFTING OF THE
CLOUDS WITH VFR CONDITIONS RETURNING BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. WINDS
WILL REMAIN SOUTH AT 20 TO 25 KNOTS AND GUSTY TONIGHT THEN
GRADUALLY DIMINISHING OVERNIGHT. WINDS WILL BECOME MORE SOUTHWEST
AROUND 10 KNOTS BEFORE SUNRISE AND THEN SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST
WEDNESDAY MORNING AND TO THE NORTHEAST BY AFTERNOON.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF EAST ARKANSAS...
THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL...NORTH MISSISSIPPI...AND WEST TENNESSEE.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

THERE IS A MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT FOR
NORTHEAST AND EAST ARKANSAS...THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL...NORTHWEST
MISSISSIPPI AND MUCH OF WEST TENNESSEE. THIS AREA IS ALONG AND
NORTH OF A LINE FROM CLARKSDALE MISSISSIPPI TO SELMER TENNESSEE TO
DECATURVILLE. A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXISTS
FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF WEST TENNESSEE NEAR THE
TENNESSEE RIVER...AND THE REST OF NORTH MISSISSIPPI FOR TONIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING.

SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO OVERSPREAD NORTHWEST
PORTIONS OF THE MID SOUTH THIS EVENING AND MOVE SOUTHEAST
OVERNIGHT. THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREATS ACROSS THE MODERATE
RISK AREA WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS...POTENTIALLY WIDESPREAD AND
SIGNIFICANT...AND LARGE HAIL. THERE WILL ALSO BE A SECONDARY
THREAT FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES.

ACROSS THE SLIGHT RISK AREA...THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREATS
WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. HEAVY RAINFALL AND
ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING MAY ALSO OCCUR AS THE FRONT BECOMES
STATIONARY ACROSS NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI AND STORMS TRAIN REPEATEDLY
ACROSS THE SAME AREAS. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MAY BECOME NECESSARY
ACROSS PORTIONS OF THIS AREA.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

HERE IS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY ACROSS
PORTIONS OF NORTH MISSISSIPPI. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS ARE
THE MAIN THREATS FOR ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT BECOME SEVERE.
LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING FROM HEAVY RAINFALL IS ALSO POSSIBLE.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

THE ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS
AND AMATEUR RADIO OPERATORS IN SUPPORT OF SEVERE WEATHER
OPERATIONS WILL BE NEEDED FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY
MORNING. SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY STILL BE REQUIRED THROUGH
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTH MISSISSIPPI
