JPM3What 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 Oct 2, 6:27 PM CDT, 4 hours 29 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 2, 6:27 PM CDT, 4 hours 29 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN 627 PM CDT THU OCT 2 2014 .UPDATE... UPDATED FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 353 PM CDT THU OCT 2 2014/ DISCUSSION... CURRENTLY... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DRIVEN BY WAA CONTINUE TO MOVE THROUGH THE MIDSOUTH. A COLD FRONT STRETCHES FROM NORTHERN MISSOURI TO SOUTH TEXAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO PROGRESS EASTWARD TOWARDS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. FLOW IS SOUTHERLY AHEAD OF THE FRONT...PULLING UP WARM... MOIST...UNSTABLE AIR INTO THE MIDSOUTH FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO. CLOUDS AND SHOWERS HAVE CREATED A BROAD RANGE OF TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE MIDSOUTH. AS OF 3PM...MEMPHIS WAS AT 90 DEGREES DUE TO A BREAK IN CLOUD COVER...WHEREAS OXFORD MISSISSIPPI WAS ONLY AT 73 DEGREES DUE TO A NEARBY THUNDERSTORM. DEWPOINTS ARE PEAKING IN THE LOW 70S AREA WIDE. STORMS HAVE ALREADY BEGAN TO DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT FURTHER WEST IN NW AR...EASTERN OK AND SOUTHERN MO. EXPECT STORMS TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AS THE FRONT MOVES EAST INTO A MORE UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. MOST OF THE MODELS HAVE REDUCED CAPE VALUES TO BETWEEN 800-1500 J/KG AS THE FRONT NEARS...EXCEPT THE NAM WHICH DEPICTS CAPE VALUES WELL IN EXCESS OF 2000 J/KG OVER NW MISSISSIPPI. 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR VALUES WILL BE NEAR 40 KTS AREA WIDE WITH 0-3 KM LAPSE RATES AS STEEP AS 5.5 C/KM. INCREASING CLOUD COVER DUE TO WAA WILL SERVE AS A HINDRANCE TO SEVERE WEATHER TONIGHT. THE GFS IS MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THE WAA SHOWERS AND STORMS AND NOT CLEARING OUT BEFORE THE FRONT APPROACHES...WHILE THE NAM... HRRR...AND EURO CLEAR OUT DURING THE EVENING. STORMS WILL BECOME COLD POOL DOMINANT AND BEGIN TO RACE AHEAD OF THE FRONT AS IT APPROACHES OUR REGION. THE MAIN THREAT WITH STORMS ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE SEVERE WINDS DUE TO THEIR LINEAR CONVECTIVE MODE. LARGE HAIL WILL BE A SECONDARY THREAT DUE TO SIGNIFICANT BUOYANCY WITHIN THE HAIL GROWTH ZONES OF THE ATMOSPHERE. MODELS HAVE COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING OF THE APPROACHING SYSTEM. THE FRONT WILL BEGIN TO APPROACH NORTHEAST ARKANSAS BY 7 PM...THE MS RIVER BETWEEN 11PM AND 1 AM... AND OUT OF OUR COVERAGE AREA BY 5 AM. LINGERING SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS A SECONDARY REINFORCING FRONT TRAILS THE LEADING ONE. COOLER DRIER AIR WILL FILTER INTO THE MIDSOUTH BEHIND THE FRONT. HIGHS FRIDAY WILL ONLY REACH THE MID TO UPPER 70S. LOWS FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY MORNING WILL DIVE INTO THE 40S AS NW FLOW INCREASES BRINGING EVEN COOLER AIR INTO THE REGION. WE WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH 70 DEGREES DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE MS RIVER VALLEY EARLY NEXT WEEK. MODELS STILL DISAGREE ON THE TIMING BUT BOTH THE GFS AND EURO AGREE ENOUGH TO INCREASE POPS MONDAY EVENING. JPM3 && .AVIATION... 00Z TAFS ACTIVE NIGHT EXPECTED FOR THE TAF SITES AS A COLD FRONT/STORMS PASS THROUGH. CURRENT SEVERE LINE IN WESTERN ARKANSAS SHOULD REACH THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER BETWEEN 02/04Z-02/05Z TIME FRAME WITH EMBEDDED STORMS CAPABLE OF WIND GUSTS OF AT LEAST 40 KTS. ACTIVITY WILL WEAKEN SOME AFTER PASSING THROUGH MEMPHIS WITH STORMS EXITING MKL AND TUP BY 02/09Z. CIGS/VIS BEFORE CONVECTION SHOULD BE VFR...DECREASING TO MVFR AND IFR DURING ACTIVITY. LATER IN THE PERIOD EXPECTING A LOW MVFR DECK TO SETTLE IN JUST BEHIND THE COLD FRONT AS SOUTH WINDS SHIFT WESTERLY.
