Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Memphis TN
318 PM CDT Sat May 27 2017

.DISCUSSION...

Skies remain partly cloudy over the forecast area this afternoon
with temperatures in the 80s. A few thunderstorms have develop
over extreme northern sections of the forecast area where a Severe
Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 9 PM this evening. A cold
front currently extends from southern Ohio across southern
Illinois and into the Texas panhandle.

The cold front will move slowly south tonight. More thunderstorms
are expected to develop ahead of the front and move through the
forecast area especially late tonight and into early Sunday
morning. Severe thunderstorms are possible with large hail and
damaging winds as the main threat. Locally heavy rainfall will be
possible and an isolated tornado is not out of the question.
Temperatures will remain warm tonight with lows Sunday morning in
the upper 60s to lower 70s.

On Sunday, the cold front will be moving toward the forecast area
reaching east Arkansas in the afternoon. More thunderstorms are
expected to form ahead of the front and move into the forecast
area. Some of these thunderstorms may be severe with large hail
and damaging winds as the main threats. Temperatures will be a
little cooler than today with more clouds over the region as
highs will be in the low to mid 80s. By Sunday night, the cold
front will finally move through much of the forecast area with
more thunderstorms expected. Temperatures will be a little cooler
Sunday night with lows Monday morning mainly in the 60s.

On Monday, the cold front will move out of the southern sections
of the forecast area with thunderstorms limited to those areas.
Temperatures will remain seasonable with highs in the low to mid
80s. By Monday night, the cold front will stall out across central
Mississippi with a chance of thunderstorms over portions of north
Mississippi.

The remainder of the forecast period appears to remain somewhat
unsettled as there will be some frontal boundary near or over the
forecast area. This will mean that there will be some threat of
thunderstorms from Tuesday through to next Saturday. It will not
be raining all of the time but there will be at least some chance
of thunderstorms during the extended periods of the forecast.
Temperatures will remain close to normal levels for the period
from Tuesday through next Saturday.

.AVIATION...
18Z TAFs

Confidence of convection timing and conditions is not high this
period. First...there is a threat for a few late afternoon storms
but coverage is ill-defined...so kept same thinking that the
strongest activity will arrive during the overnight with
conservative wind gusts of up 45 knots. Hail on station is also
not out of the question. Second...introduced IFR cigs in the
storms wake. Third...redevelopment of storms is possible late in
in morning along the passing cold front. South to southwest winds
of 7-13 kts is expected...with occasional higher gusts.
