What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Memphis, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Mar 26, 4:24 PM CDT, 1 hour 32 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 26, 4:24 PM CDT, 1 hour 32 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN 424 PM CDT SAT MAR 26 2011 .DISCUSSION...20Z SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACES A SURFACE LOW NEAR THE ARKLATEX WITH A WARM FRONT EXTENDING EAST NORTHEAST FROM THE SURFACE LOW ACROSS SOUTHERN ARKANSAS AND THROUGH COFFEEVILLE AND AMORY MISSISSIPPI. AS OF 4 PM CDT...A LARGE TEMPERATURE GRADIENT EXISTS ACROSS THE MID SOUTH WITH TEMPERATURES REMAINING NEARLY STEADY IN THE LOWER 40S NEAR THE MISSOURI/KENTUCKY BORDER AND UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S SOUTH OF THE SURFACE BOUNDARY TOWARDS CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL THIS EVENING AND PRECIPITATION TRENDS THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST ARE THE PREDOMINANT CHALLENGES IN THIS AFTERNOON/S FORECAST PACKAGE. .SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT)...WSR-88D RADAR TRENDS OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS HAVE SHOWN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING MAINLY NORTH OF THE SURFACE BOUNDARY. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI AS A SUBTLE SHORTWAVE TROUGH EMBEDDED WITHIN NEARLY ZONAL FLOW ALOFT COMBINES WITH A VERY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE IN PLACE ACROSS NORTH AND CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI. ALONG THE FRONT CONVECTIVE INDICIES YIELD SURFACE BASED CAPE VALUES AROUND 2000 J/KG AND LI/S BETWEEN -4 TO -5. 0-1 KM STORM RELATIVE HELICITIES AROUND 300 M2/S2 AND 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR VALUES BETWEEN 60-70 KTS SUGGEST POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY. CONSEQUENTLY...AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM CHARLESTON MISSISSIPPI TO FULTON MISSISSIPPI ARE UNDER A TORNADO WATCH UNTIL 10 PM THIS EVENING. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL GRADUALLY COME TO AN END LATER TONIGHT AS THE SURFACE LOW MOVES EAST OF THE REGION. THIS WILL RESULT IN WEAK HIGH PRESSURE RETURNING FOR SUNDAY. SIGNIFICANT CHANCES WERE NEEDED TO THE FORECAST FOR SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE WRF/GFS/ECMWF MODELS ALL SHOW A DECENT SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE MIDDLE AND LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEYS SUNDAY NIGHT. AS A RESULT...RAISED POPS SIGNIFICANTLY UP TO LIKELY BASED ON THESE LATEST MODEL TRENDS. ALSO...SOME ELEVATED INSTABILITY WILL BE PRESENT SUNDAY NIGHT ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTH MISSISSIPPI TO PRODUCE SOME ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS. FOR NOW ONLY ADDED A SLIGHT MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS TO NORTH MISSISSIPPI SUNDAY NIGHT. .LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...ECMWF/GFS MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW ANOTHER COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS BACK TO THE MID SOUTH. HOWEVER...SIGNIFICANT DISAGREEMENT RETURNS TO THE FORECAST FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD AS MODELS BEGIN TO HAVE TROUBLE RESOLVING A DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVING THROUGH THE EASTERN UNITED STATES. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH...THE 12Z GFS DEVELOPS A DEEP UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS/LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY/NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO. THIS SOLUTION IS THE EXTREME OUTLIER AND WAS NOT USED IN THIS AFTERNOON/S LONG TERM FORECAST. FOR THE TIME BEING...LOWERED POPS SLIGHTLY BEYOND WEDNESDAY BUT DID NOT MAKE LARGE CHANGES TO MAINTAIN SOME CONTINUITY UNTIL MODELS COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT. CJC && .AVIATION... 18Z TAFS AIR TRAVEL WILL BE TRICKY OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS THE RESULT OF NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE ACROSS ALL OF THE MIDSOUTH DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. IFR CONDITIONS...MAINLY DUE TO HEAVY RAINFALL WILL LIKELY OCCUR IN ASSOCIATION WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS. INCLUDED PREVAILING TS AT TUP AFTER 21Z WITH VCSH OR SHRA AT MKL AND MEM AND CB WITH TEMPO TS FOR SEVERAL HOURS THIS EVENING. TS COVERAGE AT JBR SHOULD DIMINISH AFTER 19Z...AS THE CURRENT ONGOING STORMS MOVE OFF TO THE EAST. STORMS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY AFTER SUNSET...LINGERING LONGEST...POSSIBLY THROUGH 08Z AT TUP. CEILINGS WILL LOWER AFTER SUNSET...WITH IFR OR LIFR CONDITIONS AT MOST LOCATIONS BETWEEN 06 AND 13Z. JDS && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
