Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Memphis TN 258 PM CDT Mon Jul 22 2019 .DISCUSSION... Surface cold front had dropped to the I-40 corridor of west TN at 2 PM CDT / 19Z. Storms were an hour or two ahead of convection- allowing model (CAM) consensus from earlier today. GOES East visible imagery indicted an elongated shear axis, parallel to and on the cold side of the surface front. Expect this feature to aid in scattered post-frontal shower and thunderstorm development into the evening. On the whole, expect the system remain progressive. GOES East multi-layer water imagery indicated strong deep layer subsidence over MO, which will spread over the Midsouth late tonight. Late evening and overnight rain chances may need additional trimming. Following several weeks of warm and very humid conditions, drier midcontinental air will prevail over all the Midsouth on Tuesday. Low level return flow from the gulf will likely not commence to any great degree until the weekend. In the interim, given the above normal greenness and full sunshine, expect evapotranspiration to gradually drive surface dewpoints to the upper 60s by Friday - still about 10 degrees cooler than dewpoints over the last several weeks. Once return flow is established, weekend dewpoints will return to the 70s. With the return of gulf humidity, isolated storms will be possible by the weekend. The 12Z GFS appeared to be exhibiting its warm season nocturnal wet bias. Given the weak deep layer shear, expect weekend and early next week rain chances to be confined to the heat of the day. PWB && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF cycle A rare midsummer cold front has moved through JBR. Current timing should take it through MEM and MKL well before sunset and through TUP around sunset. Winds ahead of the front are from the Southwest 8-10kt, and from the North 8-10kt behind the front. A line of thunderstorms will likely accompany the front ar MEM and MKL. Added a 3hr tempo group for 3sm VIS and MVFR cigs accordingly. On station thunderstorms look slightly less likely at TUP. Cigs may lower to MVFR or IFR levels briefly overnight with VFR cigs returning to MEM, JBR and MKL late tonight or early tomorrow. Wind tomorrow will be from the North to Northeast 10-14kt. 30 && .MEG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AR...None. MO...None. MS...None. TN...None. &&
