AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
110 PM CDT WED JUL 23 2014

.UPDATE...

UPDATED FOR 18Z AVIATION DISCUSSION.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1110 AM CDT WED JUL 23 2014/

DISCUSSION...

THE MIDSOUTH IS BETWEEN TWO SYSTEMS TODAY. THERE IS THE WEAK UPPER
LOW SITTING TO THE SOUTH NEAR NEW ORLEANS AND A COLD FRONT
APPROACHING FROM THE NORTH. THE WEAK UPPER LOW IS THROWING SOME
MOISTURE UP OVER NORTH MISSISSIPPI AND THIS SHOULD RESULT IN ISOLD-
SCT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AS THE AIRMASS
CONTINUES TO DESTABILIZE. MEANWHILE TO THE NORTH...A COLD FRONT IS
PRESSING SOUTH. THIS FEATURE HAS KICKED OF AN AREA OF
THUNDERSTORMS NEAR THE CONFLUENCE OF THE OH/MS RIVERS. THESE
STORMS HAVE BEEN PROPAGATING SWWD THANKS TO THE DEEP NORTHEAST FLOW
ALOFT. THIS TREND WILL PROBABLY CONTINUE AND ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY
SHOULD DEVELOP ACROSS NORTHEAST ARKANSAS AND THE MO BOOTHEEL THIS
AFTERNOON...PER 13Z HRRR. UPPED POPS SLIGHTLY...TO 50 PERCENT
ACROSS MUCH OF THE NORTH WHILE DROPPING POPS BACK TO 20 PERCENT IN
THE MEMPHIS METRO AREA. A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE
LATER THIS AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHEAST ARKANSAS AND
THE MO BOOTHEEL. DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT. UPDATE
ALREADY OUT.

SJM

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 221 AM CDT WED JUL 23 2014/

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW LOCATED NEAR NEW ORLEANS WILL CONTINUE TO BRING
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI
TODAY. ALTHOUGH...THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DISSIPATED
OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS. EXPECT REDEVELOPMENT TO OCCUR BY
MID-MORNING WITH CHANCES INCREASING BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY ALSO AFFECT PORTIONS OF WEST
TENNESSEE NEAR THE TENNESSEE RIVER.

MEANWHILE...A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH THE MIDSOUTH TODAY. EXPECT
SOME SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY A FEW THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF THE FRONT
TO AFFECT NORTHEAST ARKANSAS AND THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL THIS
MORNING. CHANCES WILL INCREASE BY THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THIS AREA
AND INTO NORTHWEST TENNESSEE AS THE FRONT PUSHES INTO THE AREA.
CAN/T RULE OUT A FEW STORMS BECOMING STRONG TO SEVERE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. DAMAGING WINDS AND/OR LARGE HAIL
WOULD BE THE MAIN THREATS FROM THESE STORMS. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE
UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S.

THE COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH THROUGH THE REST OF THE
MIDSOUTH TONIGHT. CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL SHIFT
SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST TENNESSEE AND NORTH MISSISSIPPI BY THE LATE
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS.

THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...PLEASANT WEATHER WILL OCCUR BEHIND THE
FRONT AS SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA FROM THE OHIO
VALLEY BRINGING COOLER AND DRIER AIR INTO THE MIDSOUTH. HIGHS ON
THURSDAY WILL BE IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S. LOWS THURSDAY NIGHT WILL
BE IN THE UPPER 50S TO MID 60S. THE HIGH WILL QUICKLY SHIFT EAST
BY FRIDAY BUT EVEN THOUGH WARMER TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED ON
FRIDAY THE DRY AIR WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THUS NOT FEELING AS WARM.

HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL RETURN ON SATURDAY AND WILL CONTINUE
UNTIL ANOTHER COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH THE AREA SUNDAY INTO
SUNDAY NIGHT. CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR
AHEAD OF THE FRONT.

BEAUTIFUL WEATHER WILL RETURN FOR THE BEGINNING AND MIDDLE PART OF
NEXT WEEK AS SFC HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES OVER THE REGION BEHIND THE
FRONT. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 80S WITH LOWS LIKELY
IN THE UPPER 50S TO MID 60S.

&&

.AVIATION...

18Z TAF CYCLE

VFR AND POSSIBLY MVFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT
THE FORECAST PERIOD. THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEGUN TO MOVE INTO THE
AREA AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROME QUEBEC INTO THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS. THE HRRR MODEL HAS COVERAGE OF THESE STORMS
DECREASING AS THEY ENTER INTO THE REGION. ADDED VCTS FOR KJBR AND
KMKL THROUGH THIS EVENING. A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE NORTHERN
GULF HAS CAUSED THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVER NORTH MISSISSIPPI SO I
ADDED VCTS AT KTUP. FOG IS POSSIBLE TONIGHT AT KTUP AND KMKL DUE
TO LIGHT WINDS AND LOWER LEVEL MOISTURE. WINDS WILL BE SOUTH AHEAD
OF THE FRONT AND WILL TURN TO THE NORTH AFTER THE FRONT PASSES
EACH TAF SITE BEGINNING WITH KJBR AROUND 00Z.
