AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
346 PM CDT THU JUL 26 2012

.DISCUSSION...

A COLD FRONT STRETCHES FROM NEAR MOUNT VERNON ILLINOIS TO
SPRINGFIELD MISSOURI. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEGUN TO POP
UP ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT. A FEW OF THEM HAVE BEEN SEVERE
ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI...THUS A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS
BEEN ISSUED JUST NORTH OF THE MIDSOUTH. SO FAR ONLY TWO
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER RANDOLPH AND LAWRENCE COUNTIES
IN NORTHEAST ARKANSAS. THE ACTIVITY IN MISSOURI WILL SINK
SOUTHWARD OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. HAVE BUMPED POPS UP TO
LIKELY FOR TONIGHT OVER NORTHEAST ARKANSAS...THE MISSOURI
BOOTHEEL...AND NORTHWEST TENNESSEE. THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD
EVENTUALLY DIE OUT BUT THAT MAY NOT BE UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT SO THE
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY COULD SINK AS FAR SOUTH AS
MEMPHIS THUS HAVE RAISED POPS TONIGHT TO 40 PERCENT. HEAT ADVISORY
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 7 PM.

REDEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR ON FRIDAY
GENERALLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40 WITH NORTH MISSISSIPPI HAVING THE
BEST CHANCE. EXPECT ABUNDANT CLOUD COVER OVER THE MIDSOUTH DURING
THE MORNING HOURS WHICH WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES FROM WARMING UP AS
QUICKLY. IN ADDITION...SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL ALSO KEEP
TEMPERATURES DOWN. HEAT INDICES WILL BE MUCH LOWER THUS NO HEAT
ADVISORIES WILL BE NECESSARY. NORTHEAST ARKANSAS AND THE MISSOURI
BOOTHEEL MAY BE THE WARMEST EVEN BEHIND THE FRONT AS CLOUDS SHOULD
BREAK UP AND WITH DRIER AIR IN PLACE...READINGS MAY REACH INTO THE
MID 90S. ELSEWHERE...EXPECT HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S.

THE WEEKEND...EXPECT WARM DAYS AND COOLER NIGHTS AS NORTHERLY
WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO FILTER IN DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION.

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...THE AREA MOVES INTO NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT THUS EXPECT ONE MCS AFTER ANOTHER TO DEVELOP OVER THE MIDWEST AND
DRIFT SOUTHEAST INTO THE CWA DURING THE OVERNIGHT INTO THE MORNING
HOURS THEN DIE OUT. THE AFTERNOON HOURS WILL BE RELATIVELY QUIET.
THEN EXPECT A REPEAT SCENARIO AGAIN MONDAY NIGHT...TUESDAY NIGHT ETC.
