Area forecast discussion, Jun 4, 6:42 PM CDT, 2 hours 20 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Memphis TN 642 PM CDT Thu Jun 4 2020 .DISCUSSION... /issued 311 PM CDT Thu Jun 4 2020/ Only a few locations have been able to warm into the middle 80s today due to abundant cloud cover and numerous showers and thunderstorms. Coverage of storms is currently minimal but short term guidance has an additional round of storms along and East of the Mississippi River prior to sunset then weakening by around 10 pm. Will maintain a low confidence of strong storms based on said guidance. Overnight a ridge will begin to build back across the Midsouth from the West. This feature will limit coverage of precipitation tomorrow, but also result in warmer temperatures. As a result, expect more diurnally driven thunderstorms during peak heating tomorrow, diminishing quickly after sunset. Any of these type of storms is capable of producing localized heavy rain, brief damaging winds and small hail, however widespread organized severe weather is not expected. The ridge will continue to build Saturday boosting temperatures back into the 90s across the entire Midsouth. A shortwave will track across East Missouri into West Tennessee. Showers and thunderstorms should be most numerous near the Tennessee River and Alabama state line. Once again, organized severe storms are not expected. Dry conditions are expected Sunday with highs in the low 90s as the focus turns to the Gulf of Mexico. Tropical storm Cristobal is expected to approach the Coast of Louisiana early Sunday. Its exact track will be the single biggest factor in our forecast early next week. Temperatures should trend cooler due to clouds and rain could be significant. Models are in good agreement through Monday, but diverge a bit beginning Tuesday morning. The ECMWF currently has a deeper low and a more East track over West Arkansas resulting in a better chance of gusty wind and heavy rain for portions of the Midsouth...especially East Arkansas. By Tuesday evening into Wednesday, whats left of the storm should get caught up in the Westerlies and begin to shift off to the Northeast. Current WPC QPF Tuesday into Wednesday across the Midsouth is 1-2 inches. 30 && .AVIATION... 00Z TAF Set Kept mention of VCTS wording at KMEM and KMKL for broken line of convection that is moving eastward at this time. Expect the convection to diminish by 02Z. Another round of showers could develop around 06-08Z in NE AR to the TN/MS border. However, better chances for convection could occur Friday afternoon with a line of thunderstorms diving south out of Missouri as well as some diurnal development. Have introduced VCTS wording at 19-20Z at all TAF sites. Otherwise, expect VFR conditions to prevail unless convection impacts a TAF site. Winds will become light and variable during the overnight hours tonight. After sunrise, winds will become WSW at 7-10 KTS. KRM && && .MEG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AR...None. MO...None. MS...None. TN...None. &&
