Area forecast discussion, Apr 26, 3:52 PM CDT, 2 hours 41 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
352 PM CDT TUE APR 26 2011
.DISCUSSION...
...SIGNIFICANT AND LIKELY PROTRACTED SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK ABOUT
TO UNFOLD ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH....
AT DISCUSSION TIME... THUNDERSTORMS HAD DEVELOPED ALONG ALONG A
WARM FRONT EXTENDING NORTHEAST FROM THE ARKLATEX... ACROSS SOUTHERN
AR... INTO NORTHWEST TN. RELATIVELY CLEAR SKIES OVER THE ARKLAMISS
AND NORTHERN MS LED TO MUCAPES IN EXCESS OF 4000 J/KG. SHEAR WAS
MARGINAL... WITH 3KM HELICITY VALUES OF 150 M2/S/2. THIS SHEAR
SHOULD INCREASE MARKEDLY THROUGH SUNSET... WITH THE DEEPENING OF A
SURFACE LOW ALONG THE FRONT OVER SOUTHERN AR. THIS DEEPENING SURFACE
LOW WILL FORM IN RESPONSE TO COUPLED UPPER LEVEL JET WHICH WILL
SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE OVER CENTRAL AND
EASTERN AR. DESPITE THE INITIALLY MARGINAL SHEAR... LARGE CAPES
WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR STORM ROTATION AND A TORNADO THREAT LATE
THIS AFTERNOON.
THE CHANCES FOR STRONG... LONG TRACKED TORNADOES WILL INCREASE
THROUGH THE EVENING...AS LOW LEVEL HELICITY VALUES RAMP UP IN
EXCESS OF 500 M2/S2...ACCOMPANIED BY MUCAPE IN NEAR OR IN EXCESS
OF 3000 J/KG...AND RELATIVELY LOW LCL VALUES.
SEVERE THREAT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.
18Z NAM BRINGS THE WARM FRONT ROUGHLY ALONG THE MS RIVER BY
06Z...1 AM CDT. INITIAL SURFACE WAVE AND ASSOCIATED INCREASED
TORNADO RISK WILL HAVE MOVED UP THE ARKANSAS DELTA TO WESTERN KY
BY 06Z...WHILE ANOTHER FRONTAL WAVE DEVELOPS OVER SOUTHEAST AR.
THIS LATTER SURFACE WAVE AND ASSOCIATED ENHANCED TORNADO THREAT IS
PROGGED TO LIFT ACROSS NORTHERN MS AND THE TN RIVER VALLEY DURING
THE OVERNIGHT.
THE 18Z NAM IS SLOWER BRINGING THE MAIN MIDLEVEL SHORTWAVE AND
SURFACE TROF THROUGH ON WEDNESDAY. A 994MB SURFACE LOW IS PROGGED
TO LIFT FROM NEAR FT SMITH AR AT 15Z...TO NORTHEAST AR BY 21Z.
THIS SLOWER SOLUTION WOULD EXTEND THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT
FURTHER IN TIME THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A HEIGHTENED TORNADO RISK MAY
BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE NORTHWARD MOVING WARM FRONT...AS IT LIFTS
NORTH THROUGH THE I40 CORRIDOR IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON. A SQUALL
LINE WILL LIKELY TAKE SHAPE DEEPER INTO THE WARM SECTOR OVER
NORTH OR NORTHEAST MS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...IN RESPONSE TO AN 80KT
MIDLEVEL REAR INFLOW JET ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE UPPER TROF. THE
18Z NAM AND 12Z ECMWF CONTINUED TO GOOD AGREEMENT...LEADING TO
INCREASED FORECAST CONFIDENCE.
MAIN UPPER TROF WILL LIFT INTO SOUTHEAST MO BY 06Z THURSDAY. MAY
SEE A FEW SHOWERS OR SUB SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY EVENING
NORTH AND NORTHEAST OF MEMPHIS.
FEW CHANGES IN THE EXTENDED. BOTH GFS AND ECMWF BRING A SLOW
MOVING FRONT THROUGH THE MIDSOUTH THIS WEEKEND. HAVE MADE SOME
TIMING ADJUSTMENTS...BUT OTHERWISE NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES.
PWB
&&
.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE
A BRIEF BREAK IN SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED UNTIL 26/21Z.
THEREAFTER...CONDITIONS EXPECTED TO RAPIDLY DETERIORATE TONIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY AS SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL
DEVELOP ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND AFFECT TAF SITES.
TIMING OF EACH ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS...SOME STRONG TO SEVERE WITH
LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES ARE STILL SOMEWHAT
UNCERTAIN. FOR NOW...PREVIOUS TIMING IS REASONABLE BUT NARROWED
TEMPO GROUPS BACK TO 2 HOUR PERIODS. THIS MAY LIKELY NEED TO BE
ADJUSTED LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS SHORT TERM CONVECTIVE
TRENDS SLOWLY BEGIN TO EVOLVE. SOUTH WINDS EXPECTED TO PERSIST
THROUGH THE PERIOD AVERAGING AROUND 15 KTS SUSTAINED WITH GUSTS TO
25 KTS. A TEMPORARY REDUCTION TO MVFR CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE
THROUGH THE PERIOD...PREDOMINANTLY WITHIN THUNDERSTORMS.

LIKELY PROVIDING AND ADDITIONAL ENHANCED RISK OF TORNADOES TOWARD DAYBREAK. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. IN ADDITION TO THE TORNADO THREAT... STRONG OUTFLOW WINDS SUFFICIENT TO TOPPLE LARGE TREES AND VERY LARGE HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT. THE CHANCES FOR FLASH FLOODING WILL INCREASE THIS EVENING...AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. AREA RIVERS WILL CONTINUE TO RISE THROUGH NEXT WEEK...PUTTING STRESS ON LEVEES. SIGNIFICANT... POSSIBLY RECORD BREAKING RIVER FLOODING IS POSSIBLE ON THE MISSISSIPPI BY LATE NEXT WEEK AS RUN OFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL UPSTREAM BEGINS TO WORK ITS WAY SOUTH. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY...FOR AREAS EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING TORNADOES... DAMAGING OUTFLOW WINDS AND LARGE HAIL MAY BE ONGOING AT DAYBREAK. BY EARLY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON ...A SQUALL LINE WILL CREATE A PRIMARY RISK OF WIDESPREAD DAMAGING WINDS OVER AREAS OF WEST TENNESSEE TO THE EAST OF MEMPHIS... AND OVER NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON... STORM SPOTTERS...
