AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN 302
315 PM CDT WED JUN 24 2015
.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
PATTERN FEATURES WEAK SHORTWAVES THAT WILL FEED WEAK LOW PRESSURE
AREAS ACROSS OUR REGION OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. DUE TO A DEEP
UPPER LOW OVER THE HUDSON/S BAY REGION COOL AIR HAS CIRCULATED OVER
OUR AREA...THUS AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK JUST SOUTH OF THE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE PERIOD. THIS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES
GENERALLY ON THE COOL SIDE WITH THE CHANCE FOR WET WEATHER MAINLY
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF OUR FORECAST AREA.
THE NEXT SHOT OF RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. DURING
THE COURSE OF THE DAY FRIDAY HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO SUPPRESS
MOST OF THE RAINFALL INTO MISSISSIPPI. AS THAT SYSTEM MOVES EAST
FRIDAY NIGHT THE FORECAST AREA SHOULD REMAIN DRY...BEFORE ANOTHER
SYSTEM SPREADS ACROSS THE REGION ON SATURDAY. THE SERIES OF WEAK
LOW PRESSURES AREAS WILL CONTINUE TO RIPPLE ACROSS MISSISSIPPI
THROUGH SUNDAY BRINGING THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAINFALL ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF OUR FORECAST AREA.
.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)...
SIGNIFICANT PATTERN CHANGE WITH NORTHWEST FLOW FROM THE START OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD. ALL MODELS ARE CONSISTENT AND IN AGREEMENT WITH
THIS PATTERN.
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD SEASONABLY MILD AND LESS HUMID
AIRMASS IS EXPECTED. THIS WILL GRADUALLY CHANGE DURING THE WEEK AS
MORE MOISTURE RETURNS. THE FORECAST CHALLENGE IS DETERMINING THE
CHANCE FOR RAINFALL BY TIMING IMPULSES AS THEY DIVE SOUTH. CHANCES
INCREASE IN LATER PERIODS AS MODELS INDICATING FRONTAL PROXIMITY TO
THE MIDSOUTH.

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF CYCLE

ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED OVER NORTH
MISSISSIPPI. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE FOR MUCH OF THE
FORECAST PERIOD.
