AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

.UPDATE...

UPDATED FOR THE 06Z AVIATION DISCUSSION

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 856 PM CDT WED AUG 5 2015/

DISCUSSION...

AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS THAT RIPPED THROUGH THE MEMPHIS METRO AREA
EARLIER THIS EVENING HAS PUSHED EAST AND WEAKENED OVER THE LAST
FEW HOURS. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY NOW STRETCHES FROM EASTERN OK
ACROSS CENTRAL ARKANSAS AND HAS PUSHED SOUTH INTO NORTH
MISSISSIPPI. OVERNIGHT THE MAIN UPPER TROF AXIS...NOW APPROACHING
THE I-44 CORRIDOR...WILL BEGIN TO PUSH INTO THE AREA. ALREADY
STARTING TO SEE DEVELOPMENT ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTHERN ARKANSAS AS 20-30 KT 850 MB FLOW
IMPINGES ON THE BOUNDARY. THIS LOW LEVEL FLOW IS COMING FROM A
VERY MOST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY. AS A RESULT
EVEN THOUGH THE AIRMASS ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH HAS BEEN WORKED OVER
EXPECT THIS MOIST AND UNSTABLE LOW LEVEL FLOW TO LIFT OVER THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO PRODUCE ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH THE NIGHT MOVING SE INTO THE MIDSOUTH. A FEW STRONG STORMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO POSSIBLE ALONG WITH
ISOLATED FLOODING.

SJM

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 338 PM CDT WED AUG 5 2015/

STRONG TO BORDERLINE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE ONGOING ACROSS A
LARGE PORTION OF THE MIDSOUTH...MAINLY ALONG AND WEST OF THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL
7 PM.

MID AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES VARY CONSIDERABLY ACROSS THE REGION
DUE TO VARIATION BETWEEN RAIN COOLED AIR...AND AREAS THAT HAVE
RECEIVED NEARLY FULL SUN SINCE SUNRISE. THE WARMEST READINGS...IN
THE MIDDLE 90S...ARE CURRENTLY IN NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI...WITH
THE COOLEST READINGS...IN THE LOW 80S...IN NORTHEAST ARKANSAS. THE
WARM TEMPERATURES FROM EAST CENTRAL ARKANSAS...EAST INTO PORTIONS
OF WEST TENNESSEE AND NORTH MISSISSIPPI HAS RESULTED IN VERY
UNSTABLE CONDITIONS...FEATURED BY CAPES IN EXCESS OF 2500 J/KG AND
LI'S BETWEEN -4 AND -7 C. STORMS SHOULD CONTINUE ON THE STRONG TO
SEVERE SIDE HERE...WITH THE SEVERE POTENTIAL DIMINISHING FARTHER
NORTH IN NORTHEAST ARKANSAS AND THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL WHERE
CONDITIONS ARE MORE STABLE. AFTER SUNSET...STORMS AREA WIDE SHOULD
DIMINISH IN INTENSITY.

TONIGHT...SHOWERS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT. ANOTHER
ROUND OF SHOWERS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN WEST ARKANSAS AND WEST
MISSOURI AFTER MIDNIGHT AS A POSITIVELY TILTED SHORTWAVE ROTATES
THROUGH THE AREA. THESE SHOWERS/STORMS SHOULD BE ONGOING ACROSS
MUCH OF THE MIDSOUTH EARLY TOMORROW...CONTINUING THOROUGH THE
DAY...ESPECIALLY EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. A STRONG STORM OR
TWO IS POSSIBLE...BUT SEVERE STORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED.

TEMPERATURES TOMORROW AND FRIDAY SHOULD BE HELD IN CHECK BY CLOUDS
AND PRECIPITATION. HIGHS MAY STRUGGLE TO CLIMB OUT OF THE MIDDLE
80S AT THE COOLEST LOCATIONS...BUT MOST OF THE MIDSOUTH SHOULD TOP
OUT AROUND 90 DEGREES.

OVER THE WEEKEND...GUIDANCE SEEMS TO WANT TO BUILD THE RIDGE BACK
IN MORE AGGRESSIVELY. BY SUNDAY WE MAY APPROACH 100 DEGREES AGAIN AT
THE WARMEST PORTIONS OF THE MIDSOUTH...INCLUDING THE MEMPHIS
METRO. DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH MOISTURE ACCOMPANIES THE WARMER
TEMPERATURES...WE MAY NEED A HEAT ADVISORY SUNDAY AND OR MONDAY.
FOR NOW IT LOOKS LIKE MONDAY WILL BE THE HOTTEST DAY. GFS ENSEMBLE
MEMBERS RANGE FROM 100 TO 97 ON SUNDAY AND 100 TO 94 MONDAY...SO
THERE IS SOME HOPE THAT GUIDANCE IS A BIT TOO WARM BUT GIVEN THE
FACT THAT HEAT SEEMS TO BE THE THEME OF SUMMER 2015...WILL SIDE
TOWARD THE WARMER END OF GUIDANCE.

TUESDAY INTO MIDWEEK...THE RIDGE SHOULD BREAK DOWN A BIT RESULTING
IN SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES...BUT NO SIGNIFICANT RAIN CHANCES
ARE IN SIGHT AFTER THE ONGOING EVENT.

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF CYCLE

PERIODS OF IFR CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED AT KJBR OVERNIGHT AND INTO THE
MORNING HOURS ON THURSDAY OTHERWISE VFR CONDITIONS WILL BE FOUND
FOR MOST OF THE FORECAST PERIOD. SOME THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL
BE MOVING OUT OF THE MEMPHIS AREA AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FORECAST
PERIOD AND SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY MOVING INTO NORTH MISSISSIPPI
OVERNIGHT. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE
DURING THE DAY ON THURSDAY. OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...WINDS
WILL BE LIGHT AND FROM THE SOUTH OVERNIGHT AND THEN SHIFT TO THE
WEST AND INCREASE TO AROUND 10 KNOTS ON THURSDAY BEFORE SHIFTING
TO THE NORTHWEST THURSDAY EVENING.
