AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
336 PM CDT SUN APR 27 2014

.DISCUSSION...

SECONDARY WARM FRONT CONTINUES TO TRY TO PUSH NORTHWARD ACROSS THE
CWA. ONGOING CONVECTION IS SLOWING THE FRONTS PROGRESS. OVER THE
LAST HOUR...IT SEEMS TO FINALLY MAKING SOME PROGRESS AS CONVECTION
HAS LIFTED OUT OF TUNICA AND ST FRANCIS COUNTIES. SKIES ARE
STARTING TO CLEAR ACROSS PORTIONS OF COAHOMA AND TALLAHATCHIE
COUNTIES. A WARM AND JUICY ATMOSPHERE EXISTS JUST SOUTH OF THESE
COUNTIES WHERE TEMPERATURES HAVE RISEN INTO THE LOWER TO MID 80S.
DEWPOINTS ARE IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. THIS AIRMASS WILL
SPREAD INTO THE MIDSOUTH THIS EVENING. A STRONG UPPER LEVEL JET
MAY INTERACT WITH THIS AIRMASS TO PRODUCE A FEW SUPERCELLS THIS
EVENING. HOWEVER...BETTER CHANCES FOR STORMS WILL COME LATER THIS
EVENING AS STORMS DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE DRY LINE...WHICH IS ROUGHLY
LOCATED NEAR THE OK/AR BORDER AT THIS TIME. THESE STORMS WILL
PUSH EAST ACROSS ARKANSAS THIS EVENING PRODUCING DAMAGING
WINDS...LARGE HAIL AND POSSIBLY A FEW STRONG...LONG TRACKED TORNADOES.
THESE STORMS WILL PUSH INTO EASTERN ARKANSAS...THE MISSOURI
BOOTHEEL...EXTREME WEST TENNESSEE AND NORTHWEST MISSISSIPPI AFTER
8-10 PM. QUESTIONS STILL REMAIN IF THEY WILL MAINTAIN THERE
INTENSITY AS THEY PUSH INTO THE MIDSOUTH. REGARDLESS...FLASH
FLOODING WILL BE A CONCERN AS MANY AREAS HAVE ALREADY PICKED UP
OVER TWO INCHES OF RAIN.

THUNDERSTORMS MAY EVENTUALLY EVOLVE INTO AN MCS OVERNIGHT AS IT
PUSHES EAST INTO WEST TENNESSEE AND NORTH MISSISSIPPI. LINGERING
CONVECTION COULD STILL BE OCCURRING MONDAY MORNING ACROSS
NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI AND AREAS OF WEST TENNESSEE NEAR THE
TENNESSEE RIVER. MEANWHILE...DRY LINE WILL HAVE ADVANCED EASTWARD
AND WILL ROUGHLY BE LOCATED NEAR THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER ON MONDAY.
EXPECT THE DRY LINE TO BE THE SOURCE OF REDEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS BY MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY NIGHT. WHETHER OR
NOT THE THUNDERSTORMS BECOME SEVERE WILL BE DETERMINED BY HOW MUCH
THE ATMOSPHERE IS WORKED OVER BY TONIGHTS CONVECTION. IF STORMS DO
BECOME SEVERE...BEST CHANCES WOULD OCCUR ACROSS AREAS OF WEST
TENNESSEE NEAR THE TENNESSEE RIVER AND NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI.
DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL AND A FEW TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE.

GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL OCCUR OFF AND ON TONIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY. WILL EXPAND THE WIND ADVISORY TO COVER THE ENTIRE CWA.

ON TUESDAY...DRY LINE/FRONT MAY PUSH BACK NORTHWARD A TAD BUT WILL
REMAIN THE MAIN SOURCE FOR REDEVELOPMENT. BEST CHANCES WILL OCCUR
ACROSS NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI. AGAIN SEVERE CHANCES WILL DEPEND ON
WHETHER OR NOT ATMOSPHERE HAS RECOVERED FROM PREVIOUS CONVECTION.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK...UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL
MEANDER THROUGH THE UPPER MIDWEST INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. WRAP
AROUND SHOWERS COULD SKIRT NORTHERN AREAS OF THE MIDSOUTH BUT FOR
NOW WILL KEEP DRY CONDITIONS IN THE FORECAST. MAIN EFFECTS WILL BE
CLOUDS AND COOLER TEMPERATURES.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE INTO THE MIDSOUTH BY THE WEEKEND.
TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE UNDERNEATH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES.
