Area forecast discussion, Jun 4, 4:09 AM CDT, 0 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN 409 AM CDT MON JUN 4 2012 .DISCUSSION... .SHORT-TERM (TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)... AN ACTIVE WEATHER MORNING CONTINUES ACROSS THE MID SOUTH AS THUNDERSTORMS HAVE REDEVELOPED ALONG A CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY THAT IS STRETCHED FROM NORTHEAST ARKANSAS INTO WEST TENNESSEE. THESE STORMS HAVE FORMED IN RESPONSE TO A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE MOVING INTO THE AREA IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. TODAYS FORECAST WILL BE DRIVEN PRIMARILY BY MESOSCALE BOUNDARIES AND CONVECTIVE INFLUENCES. THE AIRMASS TO THE SOUTH OF THE CURRENT CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY HAS RECOVERED FROM SUNDAY EVENING THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AND INSTABILITY CONTINUES TO INCREASE IN RESPONSE TO THE SHORTWAVE. DEWPOINTS ACROSS THESE AREAS REMAIN NEAR 70 DEGREES AND THIS HAS RESULTED IN CAPE VALUES BETWEEN 1000-1500 J/KG...LI/S BETWEEN -3C AND -5C...AND MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES NEAR 7.0 C/KM AS PER LATEST SPC MESOSCALE ANALYSIS. IN ADDITION...THERE HAVE BEEN RECENT SPOTTER REPORTS OF WIND DAMAGE (POWER POLES DOWN) AND LARGE HAIL (QUARTER SIZE) FROM NORTHEAST ARKANSAS AND WEST TENNESSEE WITH THE ONGOING CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY. CONVECTION SHOULD CONTINUE TO SURGE SOUTH FROM NORTHEAST ARKANSAS AND SOUTHWEST TENNESSEE INTO FAR NORTH MISSISSIPPI DURING THE MORNING HOURS AND MAY EVENTUALLY LAY OUT AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF EASTERN ARKANSAS AND NORTH MISSISSIPPI BY EARLY AFTERNOON. SURFACE HEATING THIS MORNING COMBINED WITH NEAR 70 DEWPOINTS SHOULD RESULT IN MODERATE INSTABILITY TO THE SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY/CONVECTION. AS THE MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE PIVOTS ACROSS THE AREA...STORMS SHOULD EITHER CONTINUE OR REDEVELOP ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA FOR THIS AFTERNOON. LIKELY POPS THIS MORNING ALONG THE I-40 CORRIDOR AND FAR NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI WILL TRANSLATE SOUTHWARD INTO THE REMAINDER OF EASTERN ARKANSAS AND NORTH MISSISSIPPI FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS. MODERATE INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY/CONVECTION...AN ESTABLISHED COLD POOL...AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR ON THE ORDER OF 30-40 KTS SHOULD MAINTAIN A SEVERE THREAT ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL OBVIOUSLY BE MODULATED BY CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY BUT SHOULD RECOVER TO THE NORTH OF THE MORNING CONVECTION ACROSS THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. FURTHER SOUTH...TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY WARM THIS MORNING BUT MAY BE KNOCKED DOWN THIS AFTERNOON BY ANY ONGOING CONVECTION. AS STATED EARLIER...THE AIRMASS ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS MAY RECOVER BY THIS AFTERNOON BEHIND THE MORNING ACTIVITY. LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT ANOTHER MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL DROP SOUTH OUT OF THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THIS EVENING AND DRIVE ANOTHER MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM (MCS) INTO WEST TENNESSEE TONIGHT. THE AIRMASS SHOULD BE UNSTABLE ENOUGH COMBINED WITH DEEP LAYER SHEAR AROUND 40 KTS TO SUPPORT A DAMAGING WIND THREAT TONIGHT WITH THE MCS. THIS SHOULD AGAIN FORCE AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SOUTH INTO SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE MID SOUTH BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON WITH ADDITIONAL STORMS LIKELY TO INITIATE OVER PORTIONS OF EASTERN ARKANSAS AND NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI. ONCE AGAIN...A STRONG STORM CANNOT BE RULED OUT DUE TO MODERATE INSTABILITY BUT WEAKER SHEAR ALONG THE CONVECTIVELY REINFORCED COLD FRONT. LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHIFT SOUTH WITH THE FRONT INCLUDING THE LATEST ECMWF...FORCING IT TOWARDS THE NORTHERN GULF COAST. THEREFORE HAVE MAINTAINED THE DRY FORECAST OVER THE MID SOUTH FROM WEDNESDAY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE SEASONABLE BEHIND THE FRONT WITH LOWER HUMIDITIES EXPECTED. JLH .LONG-TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)... 00Z GFS/ECMWF LONG TERM MODELS INDICATE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE MID SOUTH FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. SOUTHERLY WINDS AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL RETURN TO THE MID SOUTH FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO BY SUNDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS RETURNING FOR SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. CJC && .AVIATION... 06Z TAF CYCLE MCS GETTING READY TO EXIT THE REGION LEAVING BEHIND SOME QUICKLY DIMINISHING STRATIFORM RAIN. EXPECT A FEW QUIET HOURS BEFORE UPSTREAM DEVELOPMENT OVER NE OK/NW AR/SW MO BEGINS TO MOVE INTO THE REGION. THE BOUNDARY THAT HAS BEEN LAID DOWN BY THE CURRENT MCS MOVING THROUGH THE MIDSOUTH MAY ENCOURAGE THE NEXT MCS TO TAKE A MORE SOUTHERLY TRACK. AS A RESULT CONFIDENCE IN THE LATE NIGHT TEMPO GROUP FOR TSRAS HAS DECREASED. HAVE DECIDED TO JUST GO WITH VCTS FOR NOW AT KMEM...KJBR AND KTUP ROUGHLY FROM 04/08Z-04/15Z. KMKL IS LOCATED IN THE HEART OF THE COLD POOL SO PULLED MENTION OF THUNDER THERE AFTER 04/07Z. KMKL COULD HAVE SOME LOW CLOUDS/FOG TOWARD SUNRISE. CONCERNING REDEVELOPMENT MONDAY AFTN...CONFIDENCE NOT PARTICULARLY HIGH WITH REGARD TO TSRA CHANCES OR TIMING SO OPTED TO LEAVE OUT MENTION FOR NOW . SJM && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
