Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Memphis TN
1157 PM CDT Tue Mar 29 2022
.UPDATE...
Updated for the 06Z Aviation Discussion
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 924 PM CDT Tue Mar 29 2022/
UPDATE...
Evening guidance still points to a line of strong to severe storms
moving into the area late Wednesday morning into the evening
hours. Damaging winds will be the main threat with these storms.
Tornadoes will also be possible. Storms should exit the area
Wednesday evening. Have made slight adjustments to the forecast,
but otherwise no major changes were made.
PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 624 PM CDT Tue Mar 29 2022/
DISCUSSION... Strong environmental winds and strong to severe
storms appear on track to arrive in the Midsouth on Wednesday.
Guidance across the range of medium range models to short term
convection-allowing models (CAMs) has remained consistent in
depictions of very high environmental wind shear, coupled with
marginal instability.
Tight guidance consensus aside, the most challenging severe
weather parameter to forecast remains instability. Surface dewpoints
have reached 60F along and west of the MS River this afternoon.
These dewpoints may warm a few degrees further overnight and
expand east of the MS River. Following sunrise Wednesday, HRRR
soundings depict modest cooling of surface dewpoints, likely from
the mixing of drier air in the top of the deepening mixed layer.
This may be offset by moisture pooling near the advancing
updraft/downdraft convergence zone. In any case, 18Z HRRR
depicted mixed-layer CAPE was at or below 600 J/kg Wednesday
afternoon. 12Z HREF ensemble mean wasn't not far off, depicting
mixed layer CAPE of 500-750 J/kg, mainly over north MS.
0-3km SRH of 600-700 m2/s2 will be aided by 850mb winds nearing
80KT at 21Z along the MS River. These winds will be from the SSW,
roughly parallel to the squall line. While serving to elongate
hodographs, deep updraft maintenance may become a challenge if
adequate instability doesn't materialize. If QLCS segments manage
to bow, some of stronger winds aloft may descend in the northern
half of bowing segments. 18Z HRRR depicts little bowing potential,
but perhaps more concerning, some discrete cells over northeast
MS, in advance of the QLCS.
Proceeding storms, environmental winds in the mixed layer will be
supportive of gusts to 50 mph - sufficient to cause sporadic
power outages.
The squall line should exit to middle TN by late afternoon/early
evening, leaving wrap-around showers across the Midsouth.
Thereafter, cooler and dry through Friday, following the passage
of a secondary upper trof on Thursday. A few showers can't be
ruled on Saturday, with the passage of phased upper lows through
the middle and upper MS River valleys. Rain amounts should be on
the light side, especially south of I-40.
Next chance of thunderstorms appears next Tuesday, ahead of a
southern branch trof.

North Mississippi will be at greatest risk of severe storms. The primary severe weather risk is damaging winds, along with brief tornadoes. Secondary risks include flash flooding. Timing of severe storms will be most likely over east Arkansas and the Missouri bootheel during the late morning and early afternoon, and over west Tennessee and north Mississippi in the early to late afternoon. In addition to the severe thunderstorm threat, very strong non- thunderstorm winds with gusts to 50 mph are expected Wednesday across most of the Midsouth. These winds will be sufficiently strong to cause sporadic power outages and will make travel difficult, particularly on east-west highways. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation will be needed Wednesday. PWB
