AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

347 PM CDT MON AUG 6 2012

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...IT WILL BE ANOTHER
WARM AND HUMID NIGHT ACROSS THE ARKLAMISS. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY THAT DEVELOPED THIS AFTERNOON SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH
LATER THIS EVENING ACROSS MOST LOCATIONS WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME
HEATING. HOWEVER...THERE COULD BE SOME ACTIVITY LINGERING
OVERNIGHT...MOSTLY FOR THE FAR SOUTHERN AREAS.

THE WEAK FRONT CURRENTLY APPROACHING THE REGION WILL NOT MAKE IT
THROUGH THE CWA...AND WE WILL REMAIN UNDER GENERAL TROUGHING THROUGH
THE REST OF THE SHORT TERM. THIS WILL HELP TO GENERATE MAINLY
AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MAINLY THE SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE CWA. WHILE MOST OF THE STORMS WILL BE DIURNALLY
DRIVEN...THERE COULD STILL BE SOME ACTIVITY LINGERING
OVERNIGHT...MOSTLY FOR THE FAR SOUTHERN AREAS. DRIER AIR WILL MOVE
INTO THE DELTA EARLY TUESDAY WITH PW VALUES DROPPING TO AROUND 1
INCH OR LESS BY TUESDAY EVENING. THIS WILL PUSH THE 2 INCH PW AIR TO
AROUND THE PINE BELT REGION. TEMPERATURES DURING THE TIME PERIOD
WILL BE MORE SEASONAL IN THE LOWER TO MID 90S. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL
DROP INTO THE LOWER TO MID 70S...AND WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE
INVASION OF SOME DRIER AIR AS WELL AS THE EFFECTS OF DAYTIME
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. /27/

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...LOOKS LIKE THE MED RANGE/LONG
TERM WILL BE DOMINATED BY AN AMPLIFIED PATTERN WITH A STOUT RIDGE
AXIS TO OUR WEST AND AN EASTERN CONUS TROUGH. THIS WILL KEEP OUR
REGION UNDER A NW FLOW TYPE PATTERN WHICH TYPICALLY OFFERS TRICKY
TIMING ISSUES WITH ANY PRECIP POTENTIAL AS FAST MOVING S/WV'S DIVE
SE. OVERALL...GLOBAL MODELS AGREE WITH THE PATTERN...BUT DIFFER
SLIGHTLY ON THE TIMING OF THE MAIN S/WV'S WHICH WILL DRIVE THE
GREATEST STORM POTENTIAL. AT THIS TIME...THE PERIOD DOES NOT LOOK
WET...BUT SOME POTENTIAL WILL EXIST FOR RAIN WITH THE MAJORITY
OCCURRING WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE MAIN TROUGH AXIS. OVERALL...POPS
FOR THE WED-SAT PERIOD WERE LOWERED FOR THE MOST PART...BUT SOME
AREAS WERE LEFT ALONG WITH A PERIOD OR TWO MATCHING THE LATEST GFS
GUIDANCE.

THERE ARE A FEW SPECIFICS THAT MODELS DO AGREE ON...THE FIRST IS
SOME DRIER MID LEVEL AIR ACROSS THE NW HALF FOR THU. DUE TO
THIS...POPS WERE LOWERED ACROSS THAT AREA. THE MAIN TIMING ISSUES
ARE FOR THU NGT/FRI. POPS WERE LEFT ALONE THU NGT. FOR FRI...POPS
WERE LOWERED ACROSS THE NW TO FOLLOW MORE WITH THE EURO/GFS
ENSEMBLE. SAT LOOKS DRY AS MODELS SHOW A PATCH OF DRIER AIR IN PLACE
IN THE WAKE OF A S/WV AND PRESENCE OF A WEAK/STALLING SFC FRONT. BY
SUN/MON...A MORE COMPLICATED SETUP LOOKS TO TAKE SHAPE WITH THE
PRESENCE OF THE STALLED BOUNDARY AND LINGERING NW FLOW.

AS FOR TEMPS...GUID DIDN'T SEEM TOO BAD AND WAS GENERALLY FOLLOWED.
HOWEVER...HIGH TEMPS WERE TWEAKED UPWARD FOR THE WED-FRI DAY
PERIODS. REASONING IS BASED ON THE AREA BEING IN THE PRE-FRONTAL
ZONE WHERE AN INCREASING LOW LEVEL THERMAL AXIS LOOKS TO SETUP.
ADDITIONALLY...ENSEMBLE MOS SUPPORTS WARMER READINGS AS WELL. /CME/

&&

.AVIATION...TSTM ACTIVITY STARTED EARLY AND HAS BEEN GREATEST IN THE
NORTH AND EAST BUT WILL SHIFT SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON. CONVECTION
SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH 01Z WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR LINGERING
SHOWERS OVERNIGHT ALONG THE HIGHWAY 84 CORRIDOR DUE TO NEARLY
STALLED COLD FRONT. AWAY FROM TSTMS VFR CONDITIONS WERE BEING
REPORTED AND WILL PREVAIL THROUGH 06Z. SOME DRIER AIR MAY MOVE INTO
THE DELTA BY 12Z TUESDAY AND LIMIT FOG DEVELOPMENT BUT
ELSEWHERE...MVFR VIS RESTRICTIONS LOOK POSSIBLE AFTER 06Z TUESDAY
AND CONTINUE THROUGH ABOUT 14Z TUESDAY. /22/
