Area forecast discussion, Jun 12, 6:37 PM CDT, 1 hour 10 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Memphis TN 637 PM CDT Sat Jun 12 2021 .UPDATE...Aviation Discussion. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 325 PM CDT Sat Jun 12 2021/ A few thunderstorms have popped up across the Mid-South this hot afternoon. Instability is robust with moderate shear values. PWATs are still high at 1.9 inches. With that being said storms this afternoon and early evening may be briefly severe with damaging wind gusts. Training of storms could be an issue later this evening so heavy rain/flooding may be possible. Coverage should be minimal through this evening so confidence is low on location of shower development. Additionally, heat indices have inched towards 99 to 103. Showers and storms will slowly fizzle late tonight and patchy fog is expected again tonight. Sunday may be a little cooler than today, but still hot with heat indices nearing 100. Showers will likely pop up again tomorrow, mainly south of the I-40 corridor.Again, a couple could be strong to briefly severe through early evening Sunday. Wind will be the main threat. By Monday, northwest flow will increase as an upper ridge over the Plains moves towards the four corners. By Wednesday the ridge will settle to our west with a trough to our east. This set up will being less humid air will settle over the area with temperatures in the mid 80s. A weak cold front will push through the area Friday night into Saturday. Unfortunately, heat and humidity will start creeping up again along with a chance for scattered thunderstorms. SWB && .AVIATION...00z TAFs Only isolated convection on the radar this afternoon. Coverage should diminish even more over the next few hours. Patchy fog/BR is likely again tonight near TUP and MKL. Showers and thunderstorms are expected again tomorrow afternoon, most numerous near MKL and TUP. Winds generally north to northwest, light tonight, around 5-7kt tomorrow. 30 && .MEG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AR...None. MO...None. MS...None. TN...None. &&
