.NEAR TERM...(Tonight)
Issued at 920 PM CST Mon Nov 5 2018

Squall line is coming more together now across west TN into NE MS
this Mon evening. Developing line is still fairly linear at this
point, although as the QLCS becomes more organized over the next
couple of hrs, it should begin to show more bowing segments as the
airmass continues to destabilize. Tornado Watches are in effect
across portions of west/mid TN into north MS and will likely be
issued for the cntrl TN Valley in the next hr or so. Main wx threats
with the oncoming squall line continue to be damaging winds, large
hail and tornadoes. The line should make its way across the area thru
the overnight period and begin to exit NE AL heading into the
daytime hrs Tue. Trailing cold front will also make its way thru the
area shorty after the squall line, exiting NE AL to the east Tue
morning. The wx should quickly improve in the wake of the frontal
passage Tue morning, with rainfall tapering off just in time for
Election Day. Only major change to the ongoing forecast was to have
POPs mirror the movement of the squall line to the east during the
overnight period.

.SHORT TERM...(Tuesday through Wednesday)
Issued at 310 PM CST Mon Nov 5 2018

Shower activity will quickly end from west to east across our eastern
areas after daybreak Election Day Tuesday, as the QLCS and front head
east of the region. Air temperatures behind the front are not that
much colder, with highs on Tuesday rising to around 70. This also big
picture wise will help tamp down overall storm strength.

In a trough dominated mid/upper level pattern into the midweek across
the greater North American domain, another system forming to our west
will bring more chances of showers for the midweek. Upglide and
moisture with this next system, along with minimal shear could bring
an isolated thunderstorm in as well. Cooler air filtering in from the
west will result in a cooler mid week, with high temperatures only in
the low/mid 60s.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Sunday)
Issued at 310 PM CST Mon Nov 5 2018

The extended portion of the forecast begins Wednesday night with a
disturbance moving through relatively zonal H5 flow. This will have
sparked some shower activity across the area during the day
Wednesday, with activity tapering off from NW to SE through the day.
Lows Thursday morning will bottom out in the lower/middle 40s before
yet another disturbance affects the area later in the day. This lobe
of vorticity will precede a deepening H5 trof diving SE from the
Upper MidW. While scattered showers are possible Thursday, a more
widespread rain event arrives the next day as the upper trof deepens
and becomes negatively tilted across the Great Lakes. A sfc low will
strengthen across the OH Valley and drag a cold front across the area
late in the day Friday, bringing upwards of 0.75" of rainfall to the
region once again.

High pressure at the sfc builds into the area for the weekend, with
dry and unseasonably cold temperatures expected. After daytime highs
Friday only topping out in the lower/middle 50s, lows Saturday
morning will fall into the lower to middle 30s. Some moderation of
temps is expected by Saturday afternoon with highs climbing into the
lower 50s. A colder morning is expected Sunday morning with
temperatures at or slightly below freezing. As a result, widespread
frost is expected both mornings, with the potential for a Freeze
Warning possible Sunday morning (as of this moment). Will continue to
monitor this threat and will issue appropriate products as necessary
as the window of time for that nears.

Beyond the weekend, another (mostly dry) cold front will push through
the area on Monday, with another sfc high building into the area from
the NW. Have only included SCHC PoPs for this time period for now,
but this may need adjusting as we head through the week.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night)
Issued at 1121 PM CST Mon Nov 5 2018

Squall line will move ewd across north AL heading into the overnight
hrs, and impact the KMSL terminal around 06-07Z and the KHSV airport
near 08-10Z. Reduced cigs/vis are likely within this line of tsra,
along with vrb winds gusting near 40kt at times. The line will then
move east of NE AL by Tue morning along with the passage of a cold
front, with cloud cover diminishing across the area. South winds
around 15-17kt with higher gusts ahead of the front will also
diminish with the passage of the front.
