$$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 Aug 4, 3:59 PM CDT, 16 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 4, 3:59 PM CDT, 16 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
359 PM CDT THU AUG 4 2011
.DISCUSSION...FORECAST FOCUS ON EXCESSIVE HEAT AND THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY HAS SENT MUCH NEEDED RELIEF TO NORTHERN PORTIONS
OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. WITH DEW POINTS FALLING INTO THE 60S
AND TEMPERATURES ONLY IN THE LOWER 90S...DECIDED TO DROP THE
EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING AND HEAT ADVISORY FOR THOSE LOCATIONS. THE
REST OF THE AREA IS STILL EXPERIENCING DEW POINTS WELL INTO THE
70S...EVEN LOWER 80S ALONG THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ITSELF...YIELDING
HEAT INDEX READINGS WELL IN EXCESS OF 110 IN MANY PLACES. THUS...WILL
MAINTAIN THE WARNING ELSEWHERE.
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH THIS
AFTERNOON IN RESPONSE TO WEAK BOUNDARIES...AND EXTREME DEW POINTS
PRODUCING SBCAPE AOA 5000 J/KG. AFTER DAYTIME HEATING ENDS THIS
EVENING...INCREASING CINH SHOULD HALT MUCH ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
SPC HAS JUST POSTED A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH UNTIL 11 PM FOR
PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST MS...BUT WILL BE CANCELLED PROBABLY IN A
COUPLE HOURS AS THE MAIN LINE NEAR TUPELO PUSHES SOUTH OF THE CWA.
THE BOUNDARY WILL WASH OUT TONIGHT LEAVING A POOL OF HIGH DEW
POINTS ACROSS NORTHERN MS AND SOUTHERN TN WHICH SHOULD WORK ITS
WAY BACK NORTH DURING THE DAY FRIDAY. MOS IS IN PRETTY GOOD
AGREEMENT WITH THIS. HOWEVER...TEMPERATURES ARE FAIRLY UNCERTAIN
IN MOS. NAM SEEMS TOO BULLISH WITH CONVECTION AND GFS DOESN/T SEEM
TO HAVE ENOUGH...THUS THE LARGE SPREAD. WILL LEAN TOWARD THE MUCH
HIGHER MAV NUMBERS FOR CONSISTENCY AND WHAT WILL LIKELY TO HAPPEN
IN ANY GIVEN LOCATION IF CONVECTION DOES NOT MATERIALIZE THERE.
ANY STORMS WOULD REDUCE TEMPERATURES GREATLY...BUT THIS SHOULD BE
LOCALIZED AND IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FORECAST PRECISELY.
A SIMILAR SET UP WILL BE IN PLACE BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WITH
HIGHEST POPS NORTHEAST AND LOWEST SOUTHWEST /WITH RIDGE CENTER
OVER THE ARKLATEX/. MCS DEVELOPMENT IS HIGHLY UNCERTAIN WHICH WILL
WRECK HAVOC WITH TEMPERATURES...BUT CONFIDENCE IS HIGH ENOUGH FOR
VERY HIGH DEW POINTS AND MUCH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS OVER A LARGE
ENOUGH AREA TO HOIST AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING ACROSS THE ENTIRE
AREA THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY EVENING. IT MAY BE BORDERLINE NEAR THE
TN RIVER IF CURRENT CONVECTIVE THINKING VERIFIES...BUT ISSUING AN
ADVISORY FOR ONE DAY AND A WARNING THE NEXT GETS CONFUSING. THIS
HAS BEEN A PROLONGED HEAT WAVE AND PEOPLE ARE STRESSED ENOUGH FROM
THE HEAT.
.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BEGIN BUILDING INTO THE NORTHEAST AS THE RIDGE
RETROGRADES BACK TOWARD THE ROCKIES. THIS WILL ALLOW A BOUNDARY TO
SAG SOUTHWEST AND DRAPE ITSELF ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH EARLY NEXT
WEEK. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR INCREASED CLOUDS...POPS...AND LOWER
TEMPERATURES. DEPENDING ON A NUMBER OF FACTORS...MAY NEED SOME
HEAT HEADLINES BEYOND MONDAY. NONETHELESS...THINGS WILL BE
TRENDING COOLER AND LESS HUMID BY LATE NEXT WEEK AS A TROUGH DIGS
INTO THE EASTERN U.S. COULD HAVE LOWS IN THE MID 60S ACROSS
PORTIONS OF WEST TN AND NORTH MS BY THURSDAY NIGHT!

.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.
