Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Memphis TN
622 AM CDT Sat Jul 31 2021

.UPDATE...

Updated for the 12Z Aviation Discussion

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 346 AM CDT Sat Jul 31 2021/

DISCUSSION...

One more hot day is expected across much of the Midsouth today.
Sunday, the first day of August, will bring cooler conditions to
most of the Midsouth with below normal temperatures expected all
of next week.

Current temperatures across the Midsouth are mostly in the mid to
upper 70s though Tupelo and Memphis remain in the low 80s.
Temperatures should warm through the 80s quickly this morning
topping out in the middle to upper 90s this afternoon. A
stationary frontal boundary extends from southeast Kansas across
northeast Arkansas into northwest Tennessee. A broad trough across
the eastern half of the US will deepen today providing the
surface front a push toward the south this afternoon. Along and
ahead of the front hot temperatures and abundant moisture will
result in heat indices above 105 degrees this afternoon. A heat
advisory has been issued for much of west Tennessee, the Missouri
Bootheel, east Arkansas and north Mississippi. Additionally, the
intense heat will likely result in a few strong thunderstorms.
Thunderstorms will be most likely along the front this afternoon
across northwest Tennessee, the Missouri Bootheel and far
northeast Arkansas. Damaging wind will be the main threat.

High temperatures tomorrow will be about 10 degrees cooler across
most of the Midsouth. Portions of north Mississippi south of
Tupelo and Tunica may have to wait another day for the cooler
temperatures to arrive. Another Heat advisory may be needed again
tomorrow for our southern tier of counties in north Mississippi.
However showers and thunderstorms may keep temperatures in check.
With that uncertainty, will hold off on another advisory for now.

There may be a few additional showers and thunderstorms Monday
across north Mississippi and east central Arkansas, but the
remainder of the week looks dry. Seasonably mild temperatures are
expected. Afternoon highs should be in the low to mid 80s Tuesday
and Wednesday, rebounding into the upper 80s by Friday. Our
coolest temperature are expected Tuesday and Wednesday mornings
when northwest Tennessee could fall to near 60 degrees. Most of
the Midsouth will be in the mid 60s.

.AVIATION...
12Z TAF cycle

VFR conditions are expected to continue for much of the forecast
period. Some patchy areas of fog have developed over portions of
west Tennessee but should end later this morning. Scattered
thunderstorms are expected to develop over northern portions of
the Mid-South overnight. Winds will be mainly from the southwest
today at 5 to 10 knots before shifting to the northeast overnight.
