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 Sep 1, 3:31 PM CDT, 3 hours 58 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Sep 1, 3:31 PM CDT, 3 hours 58 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN 331 PM CDT SAT SEP 1 2012 .DISCUSSION...19Z SURFACE ANALYSIS CENTERS THE REMNANTS OF ISAAC JUST NORTH OF COLUMBIA MISSOURI. THERE HAS BEEN A BREAK IN THE SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ACROSS THE MID SOUTH FROM LATE THIS MORNING THROUGH MID AFTERNOON AS A DRY SLOT /INDICATED BY WATER VAPOR SATELLITE TRENDS/ HAS BUILT IN TO ARKANSAS AND MUCH OF THE MID SOUTH. THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONLY BEGINNING TO DEVELOP ONCE AGAIN UP ACROSS EXTREME NORTHWEST ARKANSAS IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANTS OF ISAAC. TEMPERATURES AS OF 3 PM CDT ARE IN THE MIDDLE 80S TO LOWER 90S ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL TONIGHT AND CONVECTIVE CHANCES INTO NEXT WEEK ARE THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES FOR THIS AFTERNOON/S FORECAST ISSUANCE. .SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)...LATEST SHORT TERM MODELS...ESPECIALLY THE HRRR AND THE 12Z WRF SUGGEST THE RELATIVELY RAIN FREE CONDITIONS CURRENTLY OCCURRING ACROSS THE MID SOUTH WILL COME TO AN END THIS EVENING AS ANOTHER SHORTWAVE ROTATING AROUND THE REMNANTS OF ISAAC MOVES ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TONIGHT. DAYTIME INSTABILITY /SURFACE BASED CAPE VALUES AVERAGING BETWEEN 2000-3500 J/KG...LI/S BETWEEN -5 TO -6/ AND STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES HAVE RESULTED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS ARKANSAS...FROM NEAR WALNUT RIDGE BACK THROUGH CENTRAL AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS. AT THIS TIME BELIEVE THIS ACTIVITY WILL GRADUALLY INCREASE IN COVERAGE AS IT MOVES ACROSS THE MID SOUTH TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF I-40. THUS...INCREASED POPS ACROSS THE ABOVE MENTIONED AREAS. A FEW STRONG TO PERHAPS ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE TONIGHT AS THIS SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH THE MID SOUTH. DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT FOR ANY THUNDERSTORM THAT REACHES SEVERE LIMITS. A TROPICAL AIR MASS COMBINED WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ABOVE 2 INCHES SUGGESTS THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WITHIN THUNDERSTORMS. SHORT TERM MODELS INDICATE THE REMNANTS OF ISAAC WILL GRADUALLY MOVE EAST SOUTHEAST TO THE OHIO AND TENNESSEE VALLEYS FOR SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. AS A RESULT...A CONTINUED CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST BUT GRADUALLY DECREASE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD. A STRONG THUNDERSTORM OR TWO CONTAINING HEAVY RAINFALL AND GUSTY WINDS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON. .LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...12Z GFS/ECMWF LONG RANGE MODELS INDICATE CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST ACROSS THE AREA THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT DROPS INTO THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY NIGHT AND THEN STALLS OUT ACROSS THE AREA INTO NEXT WEEKEND. KEPT PRECIPITATION CHANCES ON THE LOW END FOR THE TIME BEING AS THERE ARE SOME TIMING/COVERAGE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE LONG TERM MODEL SOLUTIONS. CJC && .AVIATION... 18Z TAFS STARTING TO SEE ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS/STORMS BEGIN TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH AS TEMPERATURES CLIMB INTO THE UPPER 80S. SHOWERS WILL BE HIT AND MISS THROUGH MOST OF THE AFTERNOON...MUCH LIKE YESTERDAY. AROUND 00-04Z A BAND OF POSSIBLY STRONGER SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NEAR JBR TO LITTLE ROCK AND MOVE TO THE EAST. TRIED TO TIME THIS UN-DEVELOPED LINE BY ADDING VCTS TO JBR...THEN MEM AND MKL. HOWEVER TIMING OF THIS FEATURE WILL BECOME MUCH MORE CERTAIN AFTER...OR EVEN IF IT DEVELOPS. WILL AMEND WHEN THERE IS SOMETHING MORE CONCRETE TO TRACK. STRONG WIND AND BRIEF IFR VISIBILITY DUE TO HEAVY RAIN CAN BE EXPECTED. OTHERWISE...EXPECT PRECIPITATION INTENSITY AND COVERAGE TO DIMINISH BY 06Z...WITH MVFR TO IFR LOW CLOUDS DURING TH EARLY MORNING HOURS. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
