What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this frost advisory 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 frost advisory went out at Apr 13, 2:54 PM CDT, 3 hours 12 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 13, 2:54 PM CDT, 3 hours 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Memphis TN 254 PM CDT Mon Apr 13 2020 .DISCUSSION... Most of the Midsouth has seen or will soon see a bit of sun today, though more clouds are streaming in from the West. Temperatures are in the 50s across most of the area...struggling to warm due to the cloud cover and moderate cold air advection. It will be cool tonight, with most of the area dipping into the 30s. Frost is possible overnight, mainly along the Tennessee River. A deep trough will keep temperatures below normal for the upcoming work week, but trend warmer through at least Thursday when highs should be back in the 60s to low 70s. Tomorrow, a weak, fast moving disturbance will round the base of the trough, centered over the Plains, then eject off to the Northeast via northern portions of the Midsouth, then over the Appalachians. This feature will likely enhance cloud cover over much of the Midsouth, and could produce a few light showers over Northeast Arkansas, the Missouri Bootheel and Northwest Tennessee. Additional frost is possible, across much of the area Wednesday morning as temperatures dip into the mid 30s. Afternoon highs should warm into the low to mid 60s. Skies should be mostly clear Wednesday and Thursday. Thursday, a surface high will shift East of the area resulting in return flow over the Midsouth Thursday into Friday and increasing moisture. There may be another round of light showers Friday night as a cold front associated with a trough and surface low over the Ohio valley shifts across the region. No thunderstorms are expected. The weekend looks mostly clear and dry again with slightly below normal temperatures. && .AVIATION...18Z TAFs Latest GOES satellite imagery shows the expansive MVFR deck continuing to erode across the Mid-South. The northern sites (JBR/MKL/MEM) should be VFR by 18Z if not shortly thereafter. MVFR deck will persist at TUP for a few more hours then lift to VFR (around 21Z). Elevated NW winds will continue to die down and will start to turn to the NNE 4-6kts tonight. VFR will prevail through the morning at all sites with cloud cover returning. NNE winds will start to increase by mid-morning 7-10kts. 17 && .MEG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AR...None. MO...None. MS...None. TN...None. &&
