AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
302 PM CDT SAT JUN 11 2011

.DISCUSSION...

A COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO SLIDE SOUTHWARD AND IS NOW ROUGHLY LOCATED
FROM NEAR WALNUT RIDGE ARKANSAS TO CAPE GIRARDEAU MISSOURI.
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING ALONG THE FRONT IN SOUTHERN
MISSOURI AND WESTERN KENTUCKY. ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT HAS BEEN
OCCURRING ACROSS CENTRAL AND WESTERN ARKANSAS. EVENTUALLY...EXPECT
SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS TO PUSH SOUTH AND EAST INTO THE CWA AS
THE FRONT CONTINUES TO SLIDE INTO THE MIDSOUTH THIS EVENING. WILL
KEEP 40 POPS UP NORTH WITH 20S TO THE SOUTH. THE FRONT WILL EVENTUALLY
STALL OUT SOMEWHERE OVER EASTERN ARKANSAS/NORTHWEST MISSISSIPPI
AREA BY SUNDAY. LOWS TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE MID 60S TO MID 70S.

FRONT WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY THROUGH AT LEAST SUNDAY NIGHT.
BY MONDAY...FRONT WILL BEGIN LIFTING BACK TO THE NORTH AS THE UPPER
RIDGE BEGINS TO REBUILD OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA. ISOLATED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE
FRONT BUT FOR THE MOST PART DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL. WILL NOT
REALLY SEE MUCH RELIEF FROM THE HEAT AS HIGHS WILL REMAIN IN THE 90S
WITH LOWS IN THE MID 60S TO MID 70S.

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...UPPER RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD
OVER THE AREA. CAN/T RULE OUT AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPING
EXTREME NORTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA WHERE THE RIDGE WILL BE THE
WEAKEST BUT FOR THE MOST PART DRY CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL. MAY
REMOVE POPS. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S WITH LOWS IN THE
70S.

ON WEDNESDAY...ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE CWA AND MAY
BRING SLIGHTLY HIGHER CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. CHANCES
FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS
THE FRONT SLOWLY PUSHES EAST. SFC HIGH PRESSURE SHOULD MOVE INTO THE
AREA BY THURSDAY. EXPECT SOME RELIEF BEHIND THE FRONT. HIGHS ON
THURSDAY WILL BE IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S.

BY LATE IN THE WEEK INTO EARLY NEXT WEEKEND...UPPER RIDGE WILL TRY
TO REBUILD INTO THE MIDSOUTH. EXPECT MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS. ALTHOUGH
CAN/T RULE OUT ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING AROUND THE RIDGE
AND POSSIBLY SKIRTING NORTHEASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA. FOR NOW
WILL LEAVE FORECAST DRY. HIGHS WILL RETURN TO THE 90S WITH LOWS IN
THE MID 60S TO MID 70S.

.AVIATION...

18Z TAF CYCLE

MAINLY VFR CONDS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE PERIOD. ISOLATED TSRAS
WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON. ATTM...GIVEN RADAR TRENDS
AND THE APPROACH A WEAK COLD FRONT FROM THE NORTH IT APPEARS THAT
KJBR PROBABLY STANDS THE BEST CHANCE FOR A TSRA THIS AFTERNOON SO
ADDED VCTS TO THAT TERMINAL. THE CU FIELD IS HAVING SOME TROUBLE
DEVELOPING OVER NE MS SO KTUP PROBABLY HAS THE LOWEST CHANCE FOR
TSRAS WITH KMEM AND KMKL IN BETWEEN. FOR NOW WILL LEAVE THE
MENTION OF A CB FOR THIS AFTERNOON AT KMEM...KMKL AND KTUP. OTRW
EXPECT THE TYPICAL LIGHT FOG/HAZE AT THE SITES...EXCEPT
KMEM...LATER TONIGHT. THE WEAK COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH LATER
THIS EVENING SHIFTING WEST WINDS TO THE NORTH OR NORTHEAST.
