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 Jul 4, 1:07 PM CDT, 54 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 4, 1:07 PM CDT, 54 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN 107 PM CDT MON JUL 4 2011 .UPDATE... UPDATED FOR AVIATION. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 958 AM CDT MON JUL 4 2011/ UPDATE... KNQA RADAR SHOWED A CLUSTER OF STORMS LIFTING EAST THROUGH NORTHEAST AR. THE STORMS WERE ROOTED IN A LAYER AROUND 900MB... AHEAD OF A POSITIVELY TILTED SHORTWAVE TROF MOVING SOUTHEAST THROUGH MO. THIS ACTIVITY WAS PRODUCING A SOUTHWARD MOVING GRAVITY WAVE OVER THE AR DELTA...THROUGH A SLIGHTLY ELEVATED STABLE LAYER. FORECAST WAS RECENTLY UPDATED WITH A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN CLOUDS AND POPS ACROSS NORTHEAST AR AND POINTS EASTWARD. TEMPERATURES WERE ALSO LOWERED A FEW CATEGORIES OVER THESE AREAS AS WELL. ELSEWHERE...POPS AND TEMPS WERE LARGELY UNCHANGED. BEST RAIN CHANCES FOR THIS AFTERNOON STILL APPEAR TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF THE MEMPHIS METRO... NEARER THE MIDLEVEL SHORTWAVE TROF. IT/S UNCLEAR IF THE AFOREMENTIONED GRAVITY WAVE WILL BECOME A PLAYER IN SURFACED BASED CONVECTION SOUTH OF I40 THIS AFTERNOON WHEN IT IS POSITIONED UNDER THE UPPER RIDGE AXIS OVER NORTH MS. CURRENT POPS HAVE THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO HANDLED WELL AND WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR. PWB PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 634 AM CDT MON JUL 4 2011/ DISCUSSION... UPDATED FOR 12Z AVIATION DISCUSSION PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 342 AM CDT MON JUL 4 2011/ DISCUSSION... EARLY MORNING TEMPERATURES ARE GENERALLY IN THE 70S ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH. HOWEVER THE METROPOLITAN AREAS AROUND MEMPHIS ARE STILL IN THE LOW 80S AND THE RURAL...LESS HUMID AREAS FARTHER EAST IN TENNESSEE HAVE FALLEN INTO THE UPPER 60S. 3 OT 5 DEGREES OF ADDITIONAL COOLING CAN BE EXPECTED AT MOST LOCATIONS RESULTING IN OVERNIGHT LOWS FROM AROUND 68 TO 76 DEGREES. A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE SEEN ON RADAR...BUT NONE IMPACTING OUR AREA OF CONCERN IN EAST ARKANSAS...WEST TENNESSEE...THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL OR NORTH MISSISSIPPI. BY SUNRISE THESE SHOWERS...LIKELY IN A WEAKENED STATE...MAY MOVE INTO EAST ARKANSAS AND THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL. THE NAM CONTINUES TO BE THE MODEL OF CHOICE. THE GFS HAS BEEN 2-4 DEGREES TOO WARM OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS AND INCONSISTENT IN ITS POPS. ENSEMBLE NUMBERS CONTINUE TO REFLECT THIS INCONSISTENCY OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF PERIODS WITH 12-HOUR POP DIFFERENCES OF 20-40 PERCENT BETWEEN THE HIGH AND LOW MEMBERS. ENSEMBLE MEAN IS MORE IN LINE WITH THE NAM SOLUTION. WE WILL REMAIN IN A WEAKLY SHEARED BUT FAIRLY UNSTABLE AIRMASS TODAY FEATURING CAPES BETWEEN 1500 AND 2500 J/KG AND LI'S GENERALLY AROUND -4 TO -6C. A POSITIVELY TILTED SHORTWAVE WILL SHIFT ACROSS THE MID MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY TODAY...BECOMING ORIENTED FROM WEST KENTUCKY TO NORTHEAST ARKANSAS BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS ADDING A BIT OF UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT TO HELP SUSTAIN UPDRAFTS. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL STRENGTHEN SLIGHTLY...APPROACHING -7C/KM BY 00Z ACROSS EAST ARKANSAS. STORMS WILL BE SLOW MOVING...POSSIBLY RESULTING IN LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING. WET MICROBURSTS ARE ANOTHER CONCERN THIS AFTERNOON. MDPI/WINDEX VALUES OF .80/66 INDICATE AT LEAST A MODERATELY HIGH POSSIBILITY OF THESE HARD TO IDENTIFY WEATHER THREATS. ONE INHIBITING FACTOR FOR BOTH FLOODING AND MICROBURSTS IS PW. ALTHOUGH FORECAST VALUES BETWEEN 1.3 AND 1.5 INCHES ARE RESPECTABLE...VALUES AT AND ABOVE 1.75 WOULD BE MORE SUPPORTIVE OF SEVERE WEATHER. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WORK WEEK AND INTO NEXT WEEKEND...NORTHERLY FLOW WILL GRADUALLY TRANSITION TO NORTHWEST FLOW. AT THE MOMENT THERE ARE NO WELL DEFINED FEATURES THAT WOULD INCREASE RAIN CHANCES SIGNIFICANTLY ON ANY PARTICULAR DAY. HOWEVER...WE WILL REMAIN WARM AND UNSTABLE AND ANY MINIMAL UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT COULD ENHANCE THE STRENGTH AND COVERAGE OF STORMS...MUCH LIKE WE EXPECT TO SEE TODAY. FOR NOW...WILL KEEP 20 TO 30 PERCENT RAIN CHANCES IN THE FORECAST EACH DAY. IN ADDITION...WE WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE UPSTREAM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES. NORTHWEST FLOW IS FAVORABLE FOR THESE SYSTEMS...BUT FORECASTING THEM MORE THAN A DAY OR TWO IN ADVANCE IS TRICKY. TEMPERATURES WILL TURN SLIGHTLY COOLER...BUT REMAIN NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL. 30/SIRMON && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF CYCLE SCT TSRAS ARE CURRENTLY DEVELOPING ALONG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY DRAPED ROUGHLY PARALLEL WITH INTERSTATE 40. SISTER CELLS ARE ALSO DEVELOPING DUE TO OUTFLOW BOUNDARY INTERACTION. THESE OUTFLOW WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS TO TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. FROPA HAS OCCURRED AT KMEM ATTM AND SHOULD TAKE MOST OF THE CONVECTION WITH IT. HOWEVER...WILL KEEP VCTS PREVAILING THROUGH 7 PM WITH SOME LINGERING POST FRONTAL ACTIVITY. ANY PULSE STORMS THAT DO AFFECT ANY TAF SITE COULD PRODUCE AN ISOLATED GUST AROUND 25 KTS BUT WILL BE TRANSIENT. CONVECTION SHOULD DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET GIVING WAY TO LIGHT WINDS. PLACED A TEMPO FOR BR AT KMKL FROM 3-7 AM TOMORROW MORNING. WITH RA/TSRA IN THE AREA AND LIGHT WINDS TONIGHT...PATCHY FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE AND IS DEPICTED IN LATEST LAMP GUIDANCE.
