.UPDATE...
UPDATED FOR 18Z AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW...&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1032 AM CST WED MAR 9 2016/
DISCUSSION...
HEAVY RAIN EVENT UNDERWAY FOR MUCH OF THE MIDSOUTH. ONE TO THREE
INCHES OF RAIN HAS ALREADY FALLEN ACROSS A GOOD DEAL OF EAST
ARKANSAS...NW MISSISSIPPI AND EXTREME SW TENNESSEE. AN UPPER LOW
IS MOVING ACROSS NORTHERN MEXICO WITH A DEEP PLUME OF MOISTURE
STRETCHING FROM THE WESTERN GULF INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY. PWATS IN THIS PLUME ARE ANOMALOUSLY HIGH WITH A PROLONGED
PERIOD OF VALUES AROUND 1.75 INCHES PUSHING INTO THE MIDSOUTH. ALL
THIS MOISTURE WILL INTERACT WITH A STALLED BOUNDARY THAT STRETCHES
FROM A WEAK SURFACE LOW ALONG THE TEXAS/LOUISIANA BORDER NORTHEAST
INTO THE MIDSOUTH. MEANWHILE A COLD FRONT WILL BE APPROACHING FROM
THE NORTHWEST WHICH ALONG WITH A NORTHERN STREAM UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE WILL ONLY SERVE TO ENHANCE LIFT ACROSS THE REGION.
LATEST GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUGGEST THE HEAVIEST AXIS OF RAIN A
LITTLE FURTHER TO THE SOUTHEAST...BASICALLY JUST WEST OF THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER. THE LATEST HRRR SUGGESTS VERY HEAVY RAIN MOVING
INTO THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING ALONG AND WEST OF
THE RIVER. GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF CONVECTION HAPPENING UPSTREAM THIS
SEEMS VERY REASONABLE. HAVE UPPED POPS ALONG THE RIVER THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING AND INCREASED QPF AMOUNTS TOWARD THE
RIVER THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. UPDATE ALREADY OUT.
SJM
PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 339 AM CST WED MAR 9 2016/
POTENTIAL FOR RIVER FLOODING WILL OCCUR THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK ACROSS EASTERN ARKANSAS.
CLASSIC HEAVY RAIN PATTERN WILL CONTINUE TO SET UP ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE MIDSOUTH TODAY. CURRENTLY...A STALLED STATIONARY BOUNDARY
EXTENDS EASTWARD INTO NORTH CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI FROM A SFC LOW
LOCATED IN EAST TENNESSEE. LARGE AREA OF SHOWERS HAS CONTINUED TO
TRAIN ALONG AND NORTH OF THIS FRONT OVERNIGHT. INITIALLY...SOME
EMBEDDED THUNDER OCCURRED WITH THE SHOWERS BUT SINCE HAS DIED
OUT. THIS BOUNDARY WILL GRADUALLY LIFT NORTHWARD TODAY WHILE A
COLD FRONT THAT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED FROM EASTERN IOWA TO NEAR
TULSA OKLAHOMA DRIFTS SOUTHEAST. THIS WILL SET UP A CORRIDOR OF
HEAVY RAIN STRETCHING FROM SOUTHERN ILLINOIS THROUGH EAST ARKANSAS
TO EAST TEXAS/WEST LOUISIANA. PORTIONS OF EASTERN ARKANSAS IS NOW
IN A MODERATE RISK FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL THROUGH 6 AM THURSDAY.
AS MUCH AS 2-5 INCHES COULD FALL DURING THIS TIME PERIOD ACROSS
THIS AREA WITH THE HIGHEST CONCERN BEING
RANDOLPH...CLAY...LAWRENCE...GREENE...AND CRAIGHEAD COUNTIES. A
SLIGHT RISK FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL NOW EXTENDS AROUND THIS
MODERATE RISK AREA AND STRETCHES FROM NORTHWEST TENNESSEE
SOUTHWARD ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. WILL EXTEND FLOOD WATCH
EASTWARD TO OBION COUNTY TENNESSEE SOUTH TO QUITMAN/COAHOMA
COUNTIES IN MISSISSIPPI. WHILE RIVER FLOODING WILL BE A HUGE
CONCERN ALONG THE BLACK...CACHE...AND ST. FRANCIS RIVER
BASINS...FLASH FLOODING WILL ALSO BE A THREAT FOR THE AREAS
UNDERNEATH THE WATCH FROM THE HEAVIER CONVECTION. THUS WILL
CONVERT FLOOD WATCH TO A FLASH FLOOD WATCH. RIVER FORECASTS
CONTINUE TO INCREASE OVER THE BLACK...CACHE AND ST. FRANCIS RIVER
BASINS AND WILL LIKELY RISE FURTHER IF PROJECTED QPF AMOUNTS
VERIFY. IF YOU LIVE ALONG ANY OF THESE RIVERS...PREPARE NOW FOR
POTENTIAL FLOODING AS THE RIVERS COULD RISE QUICKLY WITH AMOUNT OF
RAINFALL FORECASTED. ALSO...IF YOU MUST TRAVEL DO NOT DRIVE OVER
ANY ROADWAY THAT IS COVERED BY WATER. TURN AROUND AND TAKE AN
ALTERNATE ROUTE. IN ADDITION...GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL OCCUR
ALONG AND WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. FOR NOW...EXPECT SPEEDS
TO STAY JUST BELOW WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA BUT DAY SHIFT MAY NEED
TO REEVALUATE LATER THIS MORNING.
THE TWO BOUNDARIES WILL ESSENTIALLY MERGE INTO ONE STALLED
BOUNDARY THAT WILL BE LOCATED FURTHER TO THE SOUTHEAST THAN LAST
NIGHTS MODEL RUNS WERE PROJECTING. THIS HAS SHIFTED THE AXIS OF
HEAVIEST QPF FURTHER EAST INTO THE MIDSOUTH. EASTERN ARKANSAS WILL
REMAIN UNDERNEATH THE BIGGEST THREAT AS THE DAY 2 EXCESSIVE
RAINFALL CONTINUES WITH A MODERATE RISK OVER PORTIONS OF EAST
ARKANSAS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO TRAIN ALONG
THIS BOUNDARY. DO NOT SEE THIS CHANGING UNTIL THE UPPER LOW THAT
IS LOCATED OVER SOUTH TEXAS BEGINS TO MOVE. THIS MAY NOT HAPPEN
UNTIL LATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. IN ADDITION...PW/S ARE
RUNNING ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. AS A RESULT...WILL
ALSO EXTEND THE FLOOD WATCH IN TIME THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING. AS
MUCH AS 7-10 INCHES COULD FALL OVER PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST ARKANSAS
FROM TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING.
CHANCES FOR RAIN WILL CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND AS THE UPPER LOW
EVOLVES INTO AN OPEN TROF AND MOVES NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE
REGION.
A SECONDARY UPPER TROF WILL SWING THROUGH THE REGION SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO MONDAY AND WILL RESULT IN EVEN ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
DRIER CONDITIONS SHOULD MOVE INTO THE AREA BY MONDAY NIGHT AND
TUESDAY AS SFC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA
.AVIATION...
18Z TAFS
A DIFFICULT FORECAST THIS MORNING AS A STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY
REMAINS DRAPED ALONG THE MS RIVER. HIGHEST CONFIDENCE IN MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS EXISTS AT JBR WHERE SIGNIFICANT PRECIP WITH OCCASIONAL
VCTS WILL OVERSPREAD THE AREA SHORTLY...REMAINING THROUGH THE
PERIOD. FURTHER EAST AT MEM...A CONVECTIVE LINE WILL SLOWLY
APPROACH THE TERMINAL FROM THE WEST...AND LIKELY OSCILLATE NEAR
THE TERMINAL THROUGH MUCH OF THE OVERNIGHT. LOWER VIS WITH VCTS IN
THE LINE IS LIKELY ONCE IT MOVES IN...AND IT COULD PERSIST FOR A
SIGNIFICANT PERIOD OF TIME. AFTER 09Z...LIGHTNING MAY DECREASE
WITH A STEADY RAIN EXPECTED THROUGH 18Z. TUP AND MKL WILL REMAIN
MARGINALLY MVFR THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD...ALTHOUGH PRECIP WILL
LARGELY REMAIN WEST OF THE TERMINALS.
