$$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 Jun 3, 10:51 PM CDT, 33 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 10:51 PM CDT, 33 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN 1051 PM CDT SUN JUN 3 2012 .UPDATE... LAST BIT OF THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM LINE SHOULD EXIT CWA IN THE NEXT 1 TO 2 HOURS. MODELS INDICATE ANOTHER MCS MAY DEVELOP OVER NORTHWEST ARKANSAS/NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA OVERNIGHT. THE MCS WOULD MOVE INTO THE MIDSOUTH BY MORNING. WILL KEEP LIKELY POPS ACROSS THE NORTH AS A RESULT. NEED TO MAKE SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THE LOWS BUT OTHER THAN NO FURTHER UPDATES ARE NEEDED BESIDES CLEARING WATCH BEHIND THE LINE. KRM && .DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 348 PM CDT SUN JUN 3 2012/ FORECAST FOCUS ON CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL THROUGH TUESDAY. .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. CONVECTIVE TRENDS ARE BEING CLOSELY MONITORED THIS AFTERNOON FOR POSSIBLE RAPID REDEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHERN ARKANSAS. MCV INDUCED OUTFLOWS AND THE SYNOPTIC WARM FRONT HAVE LED TO STRONG DIFFERENTIAL HEATING OVER THIS REGION WITH MID 90S ACROSS MUCH OF ARKANSAS BENEATH VERY STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ASSOCIATED WITH EML. ALTHOUGH CAPPED...THIS HAS LED TO EXTREMELY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS TO THE SOUTH OF THE FRONT WITH MLCAPE VALUES IN EXCESS OF 3500-4000 J/KG AND SBLI VALUES OF -10C. WITH BACKED FLOW NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY...THE MAGNITUDE OF SHEAR IS GREATER NORTH BUT INSTABILITY IS CONSIDERABLY LOWER. APPEARS THE BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS WILL BE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY WHERE INSTABILITY /UNCAPPED/ AND SHEAR ARE BEST JUXTAPOSED ACROSS NORTHERN ARKANSAS...WITH THE THREAT FOR VERY LARGE HAIL INITIALLY... THEN BECOMING A DAMAGING WIND THREAT WITH TIME AS STORMS CONGEAL INTO A FORWARD PROPAGATING MCS. THIS MCS WOULD THEN RAKE ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE MIDSOUTH - NAMELY SERN MO/NERN AR/WRN TN/FAR NRN MS LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. RAISED POPS IN THESE AREAS TO 70 PCT. THE MCS MAY STILL BE ONGOING MONDAY MORNING ACROSS THE EASTERN AREAS. REMAINING UNCERTAINTY ABOUT TONIGHT/S CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION AMPLIFIES THE UNCERTAINTY FOR MONDAY. ATTM IT LOOKS LIKE RETURN FLOW BEHIND THE MORNING MCS SHOULD ALLOW THE ATMOSPHERE TO RECOVER QUICKLY...WITH STRONG HEATING EXPECTED AND TEMPERATURES RISING BACK INTO THE 90S. ADDITIONAL SCATTERED DEVELOPMENT IS PROBABLE THROUGH THE DAY ALONG ANY BOUNDARIES LEFT OVER FROM TONIGHT AND NEAR THE SYNOPTIC FRONT IN THE PRESENCE OF 3000+ J/KG CAPE. WIND SHEAR AGAIN IS RATHER WEAK SO MULTICELLULAR CLUSTERS CAPABLE OF WIND DAMAGE APPEARS TO BE THE MAIN THREAT. A TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO DIG DOWN THE EAST COAST...FORCING THE SYNOPTIC FRONT FURTHER SOUTH FOR MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. THUS...CONTINUED TO TAPER OFF POPS FROM NORTH TO SOUTH DURING THIS TIME. .LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY. MODELS REMAIN AT ODDS WITH HOW FAR SOUTH TO TAKE THE FRONT THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE ECMWF IS THE ONLY REMAINING MODEL TO KEEP MENTIONABLE POPS ACROSS NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI DURING THIS TIME WITH THE NAM/DGEX/GFS/GEM ALL INDICATING A DRIER NORTHEAST FLOW. SEEMS THE CONSENSUS WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES WAS TO REMOVE POPS FOR MUCH OF THE LONG TERM BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE THE ECMWF PAN OUT...ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE TIME OF YEAR. A LARGE RIDGE LOOKS TO BUILD OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. FOR LATE WEEK AND NEXT WEEKEND. THIS WILL BRING INCREASING TEMPERATURES THROUGH AT LEAST SATURDAY...HOWEVER BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW INCREASING TROPICAL MOISTURE BY NEXT SUNDAY WITH LOWER 925 MB TEMPS ADVECTING WITH IT NORTHWARD INTO MISSISSIPPI. INTRODUCED A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR STORMS OVER NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI SUNDAY. BORGHOFF && .AVIATION... 00Z TAF CYCLE NUMEROUS TSRAS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS NEAR A WARM FRONT STRETCHED ACROSS NORTHERN ARKANSAS. EXPECT THESE STORMS TO CONGEAL INTO AN MCS THAT WILL TRACK ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH THIS EVENING. ADDED TEMPOS FOR TSRAS AT ALL TAF SITES THIS EVENING. THE QUESTION THEN BECOMES WHAT HAPPENS LATER TONIGHT. RAPID UPDATE MODELS STILL SHOW REDEVELOPMENT STARTING AFT 04/08Z ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH DESPITE THE MCS MOVING THROUGH THIS EVENING. FOR NOW KEPT THE TEMPOS IN PLACE AT ALL SITES FOR LATER TONIGHT. ATTM NOT CONFIDENT IN TSRA CHANCES OR TIMING DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY SO LEFT OUT MENTION FOR NOW THOUGH THIS WILL BE REVISITED. EXPECT GENERALLY VFR CONDS THROUGH THE PERIOD OUTSIDE OF TSRAS. LIGHT SOUTH OR VARIABLE WINDS OUTSIDE OF TSRAS OVERNIGHT BECOMING WSW AT 8-10 KTS AFT 04/13Z.
