.DISCUSSION...
UPDATED FOR AVIATION.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1029 AM CDT THU AUG 4 2011/
UPDATE...
CANCELLED PORTIONS OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 726 A WHILE AGO AS
MCS OF INTEREST HAS SHOWN SIGNIFICANT SIGNS OF WEAKENING OVER THE
PAST HOUR. WHILE ISO-SCT STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS
AFTERNOON...THE THREAT APPEARS TOO MARGINAL TO CONTINUE THE WATCH
OVER THE AREAS NOT IN THE POTENTIAL PATH OF THE MCS. THERE HAVE
BEEN STORMS DEVELOPING JUST SOUTH OF KMKL...BUT WEAK SHEAR AND A
CAPPED ENVIRONMENT FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS SHOULD LIMIT CONVECTION
TO THE ELEVATED NATURE THROUGHOUT THE SPAN OF THIS WATCH.
THUS...MAY BE ABLE TO CANCEL THE REST OF THE WATCH AS THE MCS
CONTINUES TO DECAY.
SOME UPDATES WERE MADE TO THE REST OF THE WEATHER ELEMENTS...
PARTICULARLY HIGHS TODAY. WITH A BUNCH OF CLOUDS OVER THE FAR EAST
AND NORTH...LOWERED TEMPS A BIT THERE TO BETTER MATCH WITH THE
SURROUNDING WFOS. AREAS SOUTH AND WEST SHOULD BAKE AGAIN TODAY
WITH HEAT INDICES LIKELY TOPPING 115 IN MANY AREAS. PLAN TO KEEP
THE CURRENT HEAT HEADLINES IN PLACE.
BORGHOFF
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 826 AM CDT THU AUG 4 2011/
UPDATE...
COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER SOUTHERN MISSOURI HAS SPARKED A
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH UNTIL 3 PM. INSTABILITY WILL BUILD
THROUGH THE MORNING AS SFC TEMPS WARM RAPIDLY BACK INTO THE 90S.
THE QUESTION IS WHETHER THIS COMPLEX WILL DIVE SUFFIENTLY SOUTH TO
IMPACT MUCH OF THE WATCH AREA...SO FAR IT APPEARS TO BE HEADED
EAST ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE. HOWEVER...SCATTERED STORMS
HAVE DEVELOPED NEAR FORREST CITY SO WHILE THE MAIN COMPLEX MAY NOT
TURN OUT TO BE MUCH OF A THREAT...THE NEARBY FRONT MAY BE A
SUFFICIENT TRIGGER TO PRODUCE SCATTERED SEVERE STORMS INTO EARLY
AFTERNOON.
BORGHOFF
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 236 AM CDT THU AUG 4 2011/
DANGEROUS HEAT WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH TODAY.
TEMPERATURES ARE STILL IN THE MID 80S TO LOWER 90S AT MIDNIGHT
ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA. CLOUD COVER FROM THUNDERSTORMS THAT ARE
OCCURRING ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE AND AREAS IN WEST TENNESSEE NEAR
THE TENNESSEE RIVER ARE HELPING KEEP THE TEMPERATURES UP THIS
MORNING. THIS WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO ALREADY BE OFF TO WARM
START TODAY. CLOUDS WILL EVENTUALLY THIN LEAVING MOSTLY SUNNY TO
PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES. AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM CONVECTION HAS
DRIFTED SOUTH AND IS LOCATED ACROSS EAST ARKANSAS INTO SOUTHWEST
TENNESSEE. THIS OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY BE WHERE CONVECTION
FIRES UP TODAY AND ALONG THE FRONT WHICH IS LOCATED ACROSS
SOUTHERN MISSOURI AND EXTREME NORTHERN TENNESSEE. HOWEVER BOTH THE
NAM AND GFS SEEM TO INDICATE THAT CONVECTION MAY NOT FIRE UP UNTIL
AFTER 00Z LEAVING TODAY MOSTLY DRY AFTER THIS MORNINGS CONVECTION
FINALLY DIES OFF. HOWEVER WILL CONTINUE WITH 20 POPS JUST IN CASE.
IN ADDITION...HIGHER DEWPOINTS WILL POOL ALONG THE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY AND FRONT AND ACTUALLY MAY LEAD TO HIGHER HEAT INDEX
VALUES THAT OCCURRED YESTERDAY DESPITE SLIGHTLY COOLER
TEMPERATURES FOR HIGHS OVER MUCH OF THE CWA. HIGHS ACROSS EXTREME
NORTHEAST ARKANSAS...THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL AND EXTREME NORTHWEST
TENNESSEE WILL BE IN THE UPPER 90S WHILE LOCATIONS ACROSS NORTH
MISSISSIPPI WILL SEE HIGHS IN THE 105 TO 106 DEGREE RANGE AGAIN
TODAY. WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE MANY LOCATIONS TOPPING OUT
WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES AROUND 120 DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON. WILL
EXPAND EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING TO COVER ALL BUT
HENRY...WEAKLEY...OBION AND LAKE COUNTIES.
FRIDAY...FRONT WILL REMAIN LOCATED OVER THE CWA. MODELS INDICATING
CONVECTION THAT FIRES UP THURSDAY NIGHT...SOME OF WHICH COULD BE
SEVERE...WILL CONTINUE THROUGH OUT THE DAY ON FRIDAY. THIS WILL
LIKELY KEEP HIGHS IN THE 90S BUT EXPECT WIDESPREAD DEWPOINTS IN THE
UPPER 70S THANKS TO POOLING ALONG FRONT. THE COMBINATION OF THE HIGH
DEWPOINTS AND HIGHS IN THE 90S WILL STILL PRODUCE HEAT INDICES IN
THE 110-113 RANGE THUS WILL GO AHEAD AND EXPAND EXCESSIVE HEAT
WARNING INTO FRIDAY FOR SOUTHERN HALF OF THE CWA WHERE CONFIDENCE IS
HIGHEST OF REACHING CRITERIA. WILL CONTINUE WATCH FOR NORTHERN HALF
OF THE CWA.
SATURDAY...FRONT SHIFTS A TAD NORTH THUS MODELS ARE DEVELOPING
CONVECTION ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA WHILE THE SOUTHERN
HALF MAY STAY DRY. THIS WILL ALLOW HIGHS TO REACH BACK INTO THE LOW
100S ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF. DEWPOINTS MAY MIX OUT SOME ACROSS THE
SOUTH BUT UPPER 70 DEWPOINTS MAY REMAIN ACROSS THE NORTH. THUS HEAT
INDICES WILL LIKELY HIT GREATER THAN 110 DEGREES AGAIN ON SATURDAY.
WILL CONTINUE WITH THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH.
SUNDAY THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD...THE RIDGE WILL
GRADUALLY SHIFT TO THE SOUTH AND WEST PUTTING THE MIDSOUTH IN
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT BY EARLY NEXT WEEK. FIRST...SUNDAY WILL BE
ANOTHER WARM DAY WITH HIGH HEAT INDICES LIKELY THUS WILL EXPAND
WATCH THROUGH SUNDAY. BY MONDAY...AREA WILL BE IN NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT. THIS MEANS ONE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE AFTER ANOTHER WILL
MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. BETTER CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL CONTINUE AS A RESULT. ALTHOUGH...THE 12Z ECMWF HAS BACKED OFF
ON PUSHING THE RIDGE ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO TEXAS LIKE THE GFS DOES.
THUS TEMPERATURES MAY NOT BE AS COOL AS PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT IF THE
ECMWF ENDS UP BEING CORRECT. BUT THE NEW 00Z ECMWF HAS COME BACK
MORE IN LINE WITH THE 00Z GFS. FOR NOW WILL CONTINUE TO LEAN WITH
THE GFS AS IT HAS BEEN CONSISTENT ON PUSHING THE RIDGE TO THE SOUTH
AND WEST AND BRINGING COOLER TEMPERATURES INTO THE AREA.

.AVIATION...
18Z TAFS
CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO PUT VCTS FOR MEM...TUP...AND MKL
FOR TODAY BECAUSE TS ACTIVITY WILL STAY NORTHWARD IN NORTHERN
ARKANSAS...SOUTHEASTERN MISSOURI...AND WESTERN KENTUCKY BECAUSE OF
THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER CENTRAL TENNESSEE AND ARKANSAS. JBR HAS
A GREATER CHANCE OF VCSH BECAUSE OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY.
