What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado 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 tornado warning went out at Apr 27, 7:07 PM CDT, 2 hours 12 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 27, 7:07 PM CDT, 2 hours 12 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
707 PM CDT SAT APR 27 2013

.UPDATE...
UPDATED TO ADD 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 332 PM CDT SAT APR 27 2013/

DISCUSSION...19Z SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACES A SURFACE LOW JUST
SOUTHWEST OF HOT SPRINGS ARKANSAS WITH A WARM FRONT EXTENDING
FROM THE LOW THROUGH LITTLE ROCK...MEMPHIS...AND CORINTH
MISSISSIPPI. AS OF 2 PM CDT...TEMPERATURES HAVE RISEN INTO THE
UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S ALONG AND JUST SOUTH OF THE WARM
FRONT...WITH MIDDLE 70S OCCURRING ACROSS AREAS ALONG AND SOUTH OF
A LINE FROM CLARKSDALE TO TUPELO MISSISSIPPI. NORTH OF THE WARM
FRONT...TEMPERATURES HAVE STRUGGLED TO RISE MUCH WITH
TEMPERATURES REMAINING FROM AROUND 60 NEAR THE MO/KY/AR BORDER AND
LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S DOWN TO WYNNE ARKANSAS...AND JACKSON/SAVANNAH
TENNESSEE. STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL REMAINS THE
PREDOMINANT FORECAST CHALLENGE IN THIS AFTERNOON/S FORECAST.

SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)...REGIONAL WSR-88D RADAR
TRENDS OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS HAVE SHOWN SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS THE MID SOUTH THIS
AFTERNOON. DESPITE MARGINALLY SUFFICIENT SHEAR/UPPER LEVEL
DIVERGENCE ALOFT...OVERALL SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY HAS BEEN
LESS THAN IDEAL WITH THE BEST SURFACE BASED CAPE /1500-2000 J/KG/
RESIDING DOWN ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM WATER VALLEY TO
ABERDEEN MISSISSIPPI. A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE
POSSIBLE INTO THIS EVENING WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND PERHAPS SOME
LARGE HAIL AS THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREATS. HOWEVER...NOT
ANTICIPATING A MUCH GREATER SEVERE WEATHER THREAT GIVEN CURRENT
SHORT TERM TRENDS. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AVERAGING UP TO 1.6
INCHES SUGGEST A POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING FROM HEAVY
RAINFALL.

OTHERWISE...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SURFACE
LOW WILL GRADUALLY DECREASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY SUNDAY AS THE LOW
MOVES NORTHEAST INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD
BACK INTO THE MID SOUTH FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY AND BRING A RETURN
OF RAIN FREE WEATHER.

LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)...12Z GFS/ECMWF LONG
TERM MODELS ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT THAN THE PAST FEW RUNS AS AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT MOVE THROUGH THE
LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL
RESULT IN A GRADUAL INCREASE IN SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES INTO
THURSDAY. LONG TERM MODELS STILL SUGGEST A CUT OFF UPPER LEVEL LOW
WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS AND MOVE INTO
PORTIONS OF THE MIDDLE/LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY/S TOWARDS NEXT
WEEKEND. KEPT LOWER CONFIDENCE POPS GOING THROUGH THIS TIMEFRAME
UNTIL THE DETAILS BECOME BETTER RESOLVED IN SUBSEQUENT MODEL RUNS.
