mmWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Memphis, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Dec 20, 11:32 AM CST, 7 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 20, 11:32 AM CST, 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Memphis TN 1132 AM CST Wed Dec 20 2017 .UPDATE... Updated for the 18Z Aviation Discussion && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 912 AM CST Wed Dec 20 2017/ UPDATE... Vort max evident in radar mosaic approaching the MS River. Precip will gradually end W to E this afternoon, well covered in current forecast. 15Z temps generally within a degree of forecast so no adjustments needed there. Early 12Z guidance suggests fog again overnight so will add patchy fog for tonight. Early guidance also looks a little slower with late-week system...will evaluate full 12Z guidance before making any adjustments in these periods. GW PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 451 AM CST Wed Dec 20 2017/ Moderate to heavy rainfall is coming to an end this morning as an area of low pressure located over north Mississippi gradually shifts eastward. An associated mid-level shortwave trough is located over Arkansas and will become centered over the Midsouth by midday today. This will lead to widespread cloud cover today with scattered to numerous rain showers expected, primarily across northeast Arkansas and western Tennessee where the greatest instability will exist. Expect these showers to decrease in coverage and end from west to east as we head into the afternoon. It will be a bit cooler across the area tonight with lows mainly in the low to mid 40s. The air behind this system looks fairly stagnant tonight which should lead to another cloudy night, but southerly flow will begin to pick up during the day on Thursday which should help to break up most cloud cover by the afternoon. High temperatures will be well above average, potentially reaching 70 degrees across portions of north Mississippi. By Thursday night the stage will begin to be set for the next storm system and frontal passage through the Midsouth. In the upper levels models indicate that a cutoff low over the western CONUS will phase with a longwave trough dropping out of Canada, leading to an impressive jet streak with the favorable right entrance region located over the Midsouth. A surface frontal boundary will develop across the area in response, with low pressure tracking across the area Friday into Friday night. As a result expecting another round of heavy rainfall with totals easily reaching several inches in spots. Will need to continue to monitor the potential for flash flooding, especially in flood prone areas as soil moisture will be higher this time around with all of the rainfall we received over the past 24 hours. Only marginal amounts of instability should preclude the need to mention strong or severe thunderstorms, but lightning will be possible with heavier downpours. By Saturday the frontal boundary will slowly progress southeast out of the forecast area, leaving us on the cool side of the boundary with rain showers lingering through much of the day. Rain will finally come to an end by Saturday night as overnight lows fall into the upper 20s to mid 30s. Cooler weather continues for Christmas Eve with high temperatures reaching the lower 40s for most of the Midsouth. Continuing to mention a slight chance of precipitation Sunday, which could be in the form of light rain or snow showers depending on low level temperatures. Ensemble guidance still is not impressive regarding coverage and accumulation of any precipitation... with minimal amounts of lift it could very well end up being too dry for anything other than isolated drizzle or flurries. Overnight lows will appropriately fall into the mid 20s for the arrival of Santa. Christmas day will see continued cool conditions with high temps reaching the low 40s again, but likely with sunny skies as surface high pressure settles in. Beyond Christmas model guidance begins to diverge, but continued below average temperatures are likely with the next chance of precipitation developing by late in the work week. WLC && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF cycle Low clouds will remain over the region for much of the forecast period. Periods of rain will continue for much of the afternoon with areas of fog developing tonight and into the overnight hours. Winds will be mainly from the northeast at around 10 knots this afternoon becoming light and variable tonight. Winds will shift to the south by Thursday morning.
