AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
603 AM CDT FRI AUG 7 2015

.DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 448 AM CDT FRI AUG 7 2015/

PRIMARY WEATHER STORY AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND WILL BE THE
HEAT.

EARLY MORNING GOES WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
CENTERED OVER TX. NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT PREVAILED OVER THE MIDSOUTH...
NEAR THE NORTHEAST PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE. SCATTERED STORMS WERE
NOTED ON RADAR OVER OVER SOUTHERN MO. THESE STORMS WILL LIKELY
MOVE OR DEVELOP SOUTHEAST ALONG AN 850MB FRONT...EXTENDING
SOUTHEAST INTO INTO NORTH MS THIS MORNING. AS WE MOVE INTO THE
EARLY AFTERNOON... MIDLEVEL THICKNESS FIELDS SUGGEST ISOLATED
STORMS MAY FAVOR A MORE SOUTHERLY MOVEMENT THROUGH THE DELTA.

THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER RIDGE WILL PUSH EAST TONIGHT...PUSHING
THE NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT TO THE EASTERN HALF OF TN. THE MIDSOUTH
WILL REMAIN UNDER THE EASTERN LOBE OF THE UPPER RIDGE THROUGH
EARLY MONDAY. THE HEAT ADVISORY SOUTHWEST OF MEMPHIS TODAY WILL
LIKELY NEED EXPANDING TO THE NORTH AND EAST ON SATURDAY.

SUNDAY WILL LIKELY BRING THE WARMEST TEMPS OF THE WEEK. BLENDED
MOS HAS BEEN SUGGESTING SUNDAY MAX TEMPS IN THE UPPER 90S/NEAR 100
FOR SEVERAL MODEL RUNS. DEWPOINTS...WHICH PLAY A LARGE ROLE IN
HEAT INDEX...REMAIN MORE OF A FORECAST CHALLENGE. GIVEN THE RECENT
RAINFALL...EVAPOTRANSPIRATION WILL BE GREATER THAN WHAT IS TYPICAL
FOR EARLY AUGUST. SUSPECT MOS DAYTIME DEWPOINTS MAY BE SEVERAL
DEGREES TOO COOL...AS WAS THE CASE IN THE LATE JULY HEAT WAVE. AT
THIS TIME... A HEAT ADVISORY APPEARS PROBABLE FOR MOST IF NOT ALL
OF THE MIDSOUTH ON SUNDAY...WITH AREAS NEAR AND WEST OF THE MS
RIVER POSSIBLY REACHING EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING CRITERIA.

GFS AND ECMWF REMAIN IN AGREEMENT IN DROPPING A WEAK UPPER TROF
THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY MONDAY. THIS WILL
SUPPRESS HEIGHTS OVER THE MIDSOUTH... PARTICULARLY MONDAY NIGHT
INTO EARLY TUESDAY. A SURFACE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE EARLY TUESDAY
SHOULD EASE EXCESSIVE HEAT CONCERNS OVER THE MIDSOUTH. IN THE
INTERIM...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ON MONDAY MAY ALSO BRING
LOCALIZED RELIEF FROM THE HOT TEMPERATURES.

FOR THE WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY PERIODS... NORTHERLY FLOW ALOFT
SHOULD PREVAIL...AS THE UPPER RIDGE RETROGRADES TO THE SOUTHERN
HIGH PLAINS AND SOUTHERN ROCKIES. LOWER DEWPOINTS AND SLIGHTLY
BELOW NORMAL DAYTIME TEMPS APPEAR IN STORE FOR THE MIDSOUTH...
BEFORE THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS EAST OVER THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND.
