AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
1014 AM CST FRI JAN 2 2015

.DISCUSSION...

SKIES ARE CLOUDY ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING WITH
TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM THE MID 30S TO MID 40S. SOME AREAS OF
LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS
MORNING WITH ADDITIONAL AREAS OF RAIN EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE
REGION THIS AFTERNOON. MADE SOME MINOR CHANGES TO THE FORECAST.

ARS

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 609 AM CST FRI JAN 2 2015/

DISCUSSION...

A LARGE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CENTERED OVER THE
SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES WILL GRADUALLY LIFT OUT TO THE
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THROUGH THE FIRST
PART OF THE UPCOMING WEEKEND. A MOIST SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW HAS
BECOME ESTABLISHED OVER THE SOUTHERN U.S. WITH BROAD LARGE SCALE
ASCENT OVERTOP OF A RESIDUAL CANADIAN AIRMASS OVER THE MID SOUTH
PRODUCING AREAS OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN OVER MUCH OF THE REGION
THIS MORNING. TEMPERATURES REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING IN ALL AREAS...SO
NOT EXPECTING MUCH MORE IN THE WAY OF FROZEN PRECIPITATION/SLEET.
RAIN SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY WITH EVEN THE
POTENTIAL FOR A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER OVER SOUTHERN SECTIONS AS
ELEVATED INSTABILITY INCREASES IN THESE AREAS. TEMPERATURES SHOULD
GRADUALLY WARM...BUT REMAIN QUITE CHILLY RANGING FROM THE UPPER
30S NORTH TO MID 40S SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON.

AS THE UPPER LOW LIFTS OUT INTO THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY...MODELS SUGGEST IT BECOMING AN OPEN TROUGH WHICH WILL
TAKE ON AN INCREASINGLY NEGATIVE TILT. AT THE SURFACE...A FRONTAL
BOUNDARY INITIALLY POSITIONED ACROSS THE SHELF WATERS OF THE
NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO WILL BEGIN TO SURGE NORTH IN RESPONSE TO
FALLING MID LEVEL HEIGHTS TO THE WEST. SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SHOULD
DEVELOP ALONG THIS FRONT IN THE VICINITY OF THE UPPER TEXAS COAST
BY THIS EVENING AND LIFT QUICKLY NORTHWARD INTO SOUTHEAST MISSOURI
BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION BY SUNDAY.
THIS LOW SHOULD DEEPEN AS IT PASSES TO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST OF
THE MID SOUTH ON SATURDAY IN RESPONSE TO THE SURGING MID LEVEL
HEIGHT FALLS. THE DEVELOPING WARM FRONT SHOULD LIFT NORTH ACROSS
THE MID SOUTH FROM LATE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING. DEWPOINTS
SHOULD INCREASE AREAWIDE SOUTH OF THE FRONT...WITH PORTIONS OF
NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI EXPERIENCING LOWER 60S DEWPOINTS BY EARLY
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO WARM WELL INTO THE 60S
TO NEAR 70 DEGREES IN NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI...WITH UPPER 50S TO
LOWER 60S ELSEWHERE.

AS TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS INCREASE...IT SHOULD ALLOW THE
ATMOSPHERE TO DESTABILIZE BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH MLCAPE
VALUES LIKELY APPROACHING 500+J/KG ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI. AT THE SAME TIME...LARGE SCALE FORCING SHOULD BECOME
ENHANCED WITH THE APPROACH OF THE UPPER TROUGH AND SURFACE LOW.
THIS SHOULD HELP TO INITIATE NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE TRAILING PRE FRONTAL SURFACE
TROUGH ACROSS EASTERN ARKANSAS BY LATE SATURDAY MORNING. AS STORMS
DEVELOP EASTWARD INTO NORTH MISSISSIPPI...THEY SHOULD INTENSIFY
SOME AS THEY ENCOUNTER THE GREATER INSTABILITY. IN ADDITION...LOW
AND MID LEVEL SHEAR SHOULD BECOME ENHANCED ACROSS THE AREA IN
ADVANCE OF THE UPPER SYSTEM WITH LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE SUGGESTING
850 MB FLOW INCREASING TO 50+ KTS AND A CYCLONICALLY CURVED MID
LEVEL JET EXCEEDING 100 KTS FROM THE ARKLATEX INTO THE MIDDLE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THE GREATEST UNCERTAINTY AT THIS TIME IS HOW
FAR NORTH THE WARM FRONT LIFTS AND WHERE THE GREATEST SURFACE
BASED INSTABILITY WILL RESIDE CONSIDERING INITIAL OVERRUNNING
RAINFALL. ALL AVAILABLE MODEL GUIDANCE TO INCLUDE THE LATEST
GFS...NAM...AND ECMWF CONTINUE TO INDICATE THAT LOW TO POTENTIALLY
MID 60S DEWPOINTS WILL SURGE INTO PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI. THIS SETUP WOULD SUPPORT THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. AT THIS TIME...THE GREATEST RISK WOULD
EXIST ACROSS AREAS MAINLY SOUTHEAST OF A LINE FROM IUKA TO TUPELO
TO COFFEEVILLE MISSISSIPPI. CONDITIONS IN THESE AREAS MAY SUPPORT
EMBEDDED CIRCULATIONS WITHIN A DEVELOPING SQUALL LINE WHICH COULD
LEAD TO SOME WIND DAMAGE AND ISOLATED TORNADOES. PLAN TO CONTINUE
MENTION OF SEVERE STORM POTENTIAL IN THE LATEST HAZARDOUS WEATHER
OUTLOOK. FURTHER NORTH ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA...SOME
HEAVIER RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH A COUPLE OF INCHES
POSSIBLE. ANY FLOOD THREAT WILL NEED TO MONITORED BY LATER SHIFTS.

THE PRE FRONTAL SURFACE TROUGH SHOULD SWEEP EAST BY LATE SATURDAY
EVENING...BRINGING AN END TO SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. ON
SUNDAY...A STRONGER COLD FRONT SHOULD PUSH EAST ACROSS THE MID
SOUTH USHERING IN MUCH COLDER CONDITIONS. A FEW SPRINKLES OR EVEN
FLURRIES COULD OCCUR WITH THE FRONT...BUT NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN
THE WAY OF PRECIPITATION. TEMPERATURES SHOULD TOP OUT EARLIER IN
THE DAY SUNDAY...WITH FALLING TEMPERATURES EXPECTED IN THE
AFTERNOON BEHIND THE FRONT.
