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 Apr 4, 12:43 AM CDT, 3 hours 25 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 4, 12:43 AM CDT, 3 hours 25 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
1243 AM CDT FRI APR 4 2014

.DISCUSSION...
UPDATED AVIATION DISCUSSION FOR 06Z TAFS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 844 PM CDT THU APR 3 2014/

DISCUSSION...

CURRENTLY...RELATIVELY QUIET ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH FOR THE MOMENT.
THE OVERALL THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER HAS DIMINISHED SOME AND THE
MODERATE RISK HAS BEEN DOWNGRADED TO A SLIGHT RISK ACROSS THE
MIDSOUTH. A CAP HAS PREVENTED DEVELOPMENT FOR MUCH OF THE DAY
WHILE THE QUALITY OF THE WARM SECTOR IS ONLY MODEST WITH DEWPOINTS
IN THE UPPER 50S AND LOWER 60S AND SBCAPES 1000-1500 J/KG. THE CAP
IS FINALLY STARTING TO WEAKEN AS COLD AIR ALOFT FROM THE
APPROACHING MID LEVEL TROF PUSHES OVER THE WARM SECTOR. DISCRETE
CELLS ARE DEVELOPING ACROSS NRN AR INTO SOUTHERN MO. THIS TREND
WILL CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND THIS ACTIVITY WILL
THREATEN NORTHERN AREAS OF THE MIDSOUTH WHERE A TORNADO WATCH IS
NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 AM CDT. AS THE NIGHT PROGRESSES CELLS WILL
MERGE INTO A LINE AS A STRONG COLD FRONT PUSHES EAST. THIS LINE
WILL SWEEP EAST LATER TONIGHT WITH DAMAGING WINDS LIKELY AND SOME
HAIL POSSIBLE.

SJM

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 329 PM CDT THU APR 3 2014/

FOCUSING ON THE SHORT TERM ONLY FOR THIS UPDATE...A QUICK LOOK AT
THE LONG TERM FORECAST GUIDANCE LOOKS IN LINE WITH THE GOING
FORECAST SO WILL FOCUS ON THE PROBLEM AT HAND.

BOTH SHORTWAVE RIDGING AND CLOUD COVER HAVE HELPED KEEP
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH TO A MINIMUM TODAY. A COUPLE OF
ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED AND APPROACHED EAST
ARKANSAS ONLY TO FALL APART BEFORE REACHING THE MIDSOUTH. NEVER
FELT ALL THAT COMFORTABLE WITH PRE FRONTAL CONVECTION IN THE
MIDSOUTH TODAY. STILL CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW PRE FRONTAL STORM THIS
AFTERNOON. THE ATMOSPHERE IS VERY UNSTABLE FEATURING CAPES OF 2000
J/KG AND LI'S OF -6. BUT I THINK THE SPECIAL SOUNDING AT LITTLE
ROCK TELLS THE STORY. WITH THE LACK OF ADDITIONAL DYNAMIC SUPPORT
WE WOULD NEED TO REACH TEMPERATURES IN THE MIDDLE 80S FOR
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT.

STILL FEEL CERTAIN WE ARE IN FOR A BUSY NIGHT AS THE SHORTWAVE RIDGE
SHIFTS EAST OF THE AREA AND THE LONGWAVE TROUGH APPROACHES FROM
THE WEST PROVIDING THE ADDITIONAL UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FOR
THUNDERSTORMS. WE COULD EVEN SEE A FEW PRE FRONTAL STORMS DESPITE
DIMINISHING THERMODYNAMIC SUPPORT. THE LATEST RAPID REFRESH RUN
SUGGESTS THIS WILL BE THE CASE SHOWING AT LEAST A COUPLE OF
STORMS ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH BY 9-10 PM. WIND PROFILES DO NOT LOOK
AS FAVORABLE FOR TORNADOES AS THE ONCE DID IN FORECAST GUIDANCE.
GROUND OBSERVATIONS INDICATE SURFACE WINDS ARE FROM THE SOUTH
SOUTHWEST INSTEAD OF THE MORE FAVORABLE SOUTH OR SOUTHEAST
DIRECTION. NEVERTHELESS IF WE ARE TO SEE ANY SIGNIFICANT TORNADOES
IT WOULD MOST LIKELY BE IN ASSOCIATION WITH THESE PRE FRONTAL
STORMS. DYNAMIC PARAMETERS IMPROVE PRIOR TO 06Z AS A 50-60 MID
LEVEL JET DEVELOPS ACROSS THE AREA. IF WINDS SHIFT JUST SLIGHTLY
MORE SOUTHERLY...OR SOUTHEASTERLY CONDITIONS WOULD IMPROVE FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF TORNADOES. GUIDANCE 0-3KM SRH RANGES FROM 150-250
M2/S2 BY THE GFS...TO 200-300 MS/S2 ACCORDING TO THE NAM. FEEL LIKE
THE GREATEST THREAT OF A TORNADO WOULD BE ACROSS NORTHEAST
ARKANSAS AROUND 8-10 PM. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND WOULD ALSO
BE LIKELY WITH ANY DISCRETE STORMS.

THE MAIN THREAT OF STORMS WILL BE ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT. AT 3 PM...THE FRONT IS STILL IN EAST OKLAHOMA WAITING FOR
THE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH TO SHIFT IT TO THE EAST. IT SHOULD BEGIN
THAT MOVEMENT WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND APPROACH EAST ARKANSAS
AROUND MIDNIGHT...MEMPHIS AND JACKSON TN AROUND 3-4 AM AND EXIT
THE MIDSOUTH BY 6 AM. IT MAY TAKE ANOTHER HOUR OR TWO TO TOTALLY
EXIT NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. BOWING SEGMENTS WITHIN THE SQUALL LINE
MAY PRODUCE 55-65 MPH STRAIGHT LINE WIND AND ISOLATED
QUICK...COMPARATIVELY WEAK/COMPARED TO THE DISCRETE CELLS
DISCUSSED ABOVE/ TORNADOES. LARGE HAIL IS ALSO POSSIBLE. MID-SOUTHERNERS
CAN BE EXPECTED TO BE WOKEN UP BY THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT.

FLOODING IS ALSO A CONCERN. PW'S AROUND 1.50 INCHES COULD RESULT
IN HEAVY RAINFALL RATES. IF MULTIPLE STORMS IMPACT THE SAME
AREA...LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING IS POSSIBLE.
