AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
337 PM CST SUN DEC 23 2012

.DISCUSSION...

...MAJOR WINTER STORM COULD IMPACT PORTIONS OF THE MIDSOUTH LATE
CHRISTMAS DAY AFTERNOON INTO CHRISTMAS DAY NIGHT...

CURRENTLY...NUMEROUS SHOWERS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OVER NORTH
MISSISSIPPI AND SOUTHWEST TENNESSEE. THE SHOWERS ARE DEVELOPING IN
ASSOCIATION WITH A WEAK LOW PRESSURE CENTER OVER ARKANSAS. THE LOW
AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL PUSH INTO THE MIDSOUTH TONIGHT AND
WILL BE LOCATED ROUGHLY FROM A LINE NEAR JACKSON TENNESSEE TO TUPELO
MISSISSIPPI BY SUNRISE. CHANCES FOR SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE FOR AREAS MAINLY
EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. LOWS WILL BE IN THE 40S.

FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE REST OF THE CWA MONDAY MORNING.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY COOLER BEHIND THE FRONT.

BY CHRISTMAS EVE...ALL EYES WILL TURN TOWARD TEXAS AS A DEVELOPING
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO SPREAD RAIN INTO THE MIDSOUTH LATE
CHRISTMAS EVE INTO CHRISTMAS MORNING. THE TRACK OF THIS LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL BE CRUCIAL ON DETERMINING WHERE THE HEAVY SNOW FALLS.
THE ECMWF AND THE CMC CONTINUE TO TRACK THE SFC LOW FROM CENTRAL
TEXAS TO NEAR NASHVILLE. THE GFS TRACKS THE SFC LOW A TAD FURTHER
NORTH WHILE THE NAM IS MUCH FURTHER NORTH WITH THE TRACK FROM
NORTH TEXAS TO NEAR CLARKSVILLE TENNESSEE. FOR THIS FORECAST WILL
BE LEANING TOWARD THE GFS SINCE IT IS THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD
SOLUTION. WITH THE GFS SOLUTION...NORTHEAST ARKANSAS AND THE
MISSOURI BOOTHEEL WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCES FOR HEAVY SNOW.
AMOUNTS COULD RANGE BETWEEN 4-8 INCHES WITH MOST OF THE SNOW
OCCURRING BETWEEN 6 PM AND MIDNIGHT CHRISTMAS NIGHT. SOUTHEAST OF
THIS AREA...THERE WILL BE A SHARP CUT OFF FROM SNOW ACCUMULATIONS
OF 3 INCHES TO NOTHING AS THE DRY SLOT WILL LIKELY MOVE INTO
MEMPHIS AND MUCH OF WEST TENNESSEE AND NORTH MISSISSIPPI. THUS
MUCH OF SHELBY COUNTY WILL LIKELY SEE LITTLE OR NO SNOW
ACCUMULATION. ANY SNOW THAT IS OCCURRING CHRISTMAS NIGHT WILL
TAPER OFF BY SUNRISE. WILL ISSUE A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR
NORTHEAST ARKANSAS AND THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL FROM 3 PM CHRISTMAS
DAY THROUGH 6 AM WEDNESDAY.

COLD HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER THE REGION FOR WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON INTO THURSDAY.

ON FRIDAY...ANOTHER OVERRUNNING PATTERN WILL SET UP OVER THE
MIDSOUTH AS A SFC LOW DEVELOPS IN THE REGION. MODELS DIFFER ON
EXACTLY WHERE AND PRECIP TYPE COULD BE AN ISSUE DEPENDING ON HOW
MUCH COLD AIR REMAINS AROUND AND WHERE EXACTLY THE LOW TRACKS.
STAY TUNED.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN FOR NEXT WEEKEND KEEPING
CONDITIONS BELOW NORMAL AND DRY.

KRM

&&

.AVIATION...

18Z TAF CYCLE

DETERIORATING CONDS EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA AS WEAK LOW PRESSURE
OVER SE OK MOVES ALONG I-40 THROUGH THE PERIOD. EXPECT CIGS TO
CONTINUE TO LOWER TO IFR AND PERHAPS LIFR OVERNIGHT IN PERIODS OF
LIGHT RAIN. A RUMBLE OF THUNDER IS POSSIBLE AT KTUP OVERNIGHT AS
WELL. WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE SOUTH AT 6-10 KTS THIS AFTERNOON
THROUGH TONIGHT AS SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST AT 10 KTS AS THE LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH. CONDS WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE MONDAY
MORNING.

ARKANSAS AND THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL FROM 3 PM CST CHRISTMAS
AFTERNOON THROUGH 6 AM CST WEDNESDAY MORNING.

AREAS TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE WINTER STORM WATCH AND NORTHWEST OF

MISSISSIPPI COULD SEE SOME ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL.

A FEW STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE OVER NORTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI CHRISTMAS AFTERNOON.

ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM COULD PRODUCE MORE WINTER WEATHER FRIDAY

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

WINTER WEATHER REPORTS MAY BE REQUESTED FROM STORM SPOTTERS LATE
CHRISTMAS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY.
