Area Forecast Discussion

1153 AM CST Sat Nov 30 2019

.UPDATE...

Updated to include 18Z aviation discussion below.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 529 AM CST Sat Nov 30 2019/

DISCUSSION... /issued 521 AM CST Sat Nov 30 2019/

Early morning GOES water vapor imagery showed a deep upper low
over western Nebraska. 11Z/5AM CST surface analysis showed a 990mb
surface low centered near North Platte, nearly beneath the upper
low.

The upper low will track east across Nebraska today, gradually
deepening and reaching south central Iowa by midnight. The
Midsouth will remain in the low level warm sector, south of a
frontal occlusion point likely near St Louis at 18Z/Noon CST.
Latest guidance from convection-allowing models (CAMs) depict less
warm sector shower coverage over the Midsouth through mid-
afternoon. Perhaps related, NAM Bufr soundings depicted a less
steep low level thermal inversion relative to yesterday's guidance.
Effective lifted parcel level still depicted near 900mb, where
winds of 22050KT, above the stronger directional shear in the
underlying inversion. Big question is whether the strong
directional shear embedded in underlying stable layer can be
tapped by updrafts along the strongly forced frontal zone. Given
the relative weakness of the inversion, wouldn't be too surprised
to see some near-boundary layer sheer tapped, leading to some
rotating updrafts and bowing QLCS segments. This will be more
likely to occur along and south of the I-40 corridor, where
MLCAPE in excess of 1500 J/KG is expected.

By mid-evening, the elevated warm conveyor belt will shift east
into AL/middle TN, while the midlevel dry-slot edges in from the
west. Model-blended surface winds under this dry slot appeared to
be a bit low, and official gridded wind forecasts have been
increased.

The upper low center will move to near Chicago by midday Sunday.
Wrap around clouds from the mid-MS River valley will likely extend
into the Midsouth, mainly north and east of Memphis. Cool, blustery
weather expected Sunday. Wind chills in the 30s north of I-40
before noon.

By midday Monday, the upper low center will lift to the mid/upper
Atlantic coast, while an upstream height ridge extends from the
southern plains through the upper MS River valley. This ridge will
deamplify with a weak open trof dropping into the mid and upper MS
River valley on Tuesday. For the Midsouth, west-northwest flow
aloft will prevail through the midweek periods, with dry
conditions and seasonal temps. Next rain chance arrives via a
southern branch low, arriving late week. At this time, models are
in fair agreement with respect to timing, showing rain exiting by
next weekend.

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF Set

A mix of MVFR/IFR conds will persist in the short term due to low
CIGs. By 20Z...A line of SHRA/TSRA will begin to push through
JBR...followed by MEM and MKL...and TUP a few hours later. VSBYs
will be reduced to as low as LIFR at MEM and TUP with the heaviest
SHRAs and TSRAs. The cold front will push through quickly this
evening...bringing an end to RA and low CIGs at all sites by
midnight.

Expect southerly winds to shift westerly behind the front and
remain above 10 kts overnight. Westerly winds will increase to
15-20 kts with gusts to 25kt near the end of the TAF period.

thunderstorms over far northeast Arkansas, the Missouri bootheel,
and far northwest Tennessee.

The primary severe weather risks include damaging winds and large
