.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Thursday Night)
Issued at 221 PM CDT Tue Jun 7 2022

Active and unsettled weather pattern ahead for this week. Heat
returns for next week.

Convection is firing up across the south this afternoon. The
scattered activity should continue to expand northward with time as
convective temps are reached. Lots of instability in place but
overall organization and wind energy levels are on the low side.
Still looking at the potential for some strong to severe
thunderstorms. But they will primarily be pulse driven. There is
some partial overnight upper divergence so look for some
lingering general thunderstorms late tonight.

On Wednesday, the active pattern will ramp up a bit. A potent
shortwave will offer a boost to the convective organization
potential. Instabilities will then work with increasing 850 mb wind
energy to set the stage for some severe weather. We are outlooked
with a slight risk across the entire area. Helicity values do not
really jump off the screen at me. Furthermore, 700-500 mb lapse
rates are not overly impressive. Thus, looks like a tstm wind damage
threat, primarily. As for the flooding potential, given the copious
rainfall amounts that have fallen east of i-65 will need to watch
for some minor flooding potential. PWATs are still rather high
within this soupy airmass. The one saving grace may be the frontal
boundary will not phase favorably with the strong upper impulse. At
any rate, Wednesday's severe weather timing looks like from 10 am
until 6 pm. best chance for severe appears to be south of I-40.
Moving on, we will get a brief break on Thursday as some drier air
moves in behind the fropa.

For the near term temps, its looking warm and humid. however, lower
humidity levels can be expected on Thursday.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through next Tuesday)
Issued at 221 PM CDT Tue Jun 7 2022

The airmass will quickly reload with another chance of showers
and thunderstorms on Friday afternoon and night. The trajectory of
this potential MCS is a bit uncertain, but will need to be
watched. Behind this complex, we will finally gravitate to a
calmer but increasingly hot pattern will commence.

Look for upper ridging to move in by the middle of next week.
gfs/Euro 850 mb averages are close to 22C by next Tuesday.
Furthermore, CPC is showing above normal temps for the 6 to 14 day
period. Here comes the heat with mid 90s possible for our highs.
Moisture undercut potential looks weak with max MRH values of just
55 to 60 percent. Thermal separation is noted over the MO and IL
areas so not too far away. Here comes some heat!

&&

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1218 PM CDT Tue Jun 7 2022

Ongoing chances for showers and thunderstorms will be in the
forecast through the next 36 hours or so. Coverage looks isolated
initially this afternoon, becoming more scattered this afternoon
through just before sunrise Wednesday. A short break may be
possible just before 12Z through late morning before showers and
thunderstorms become more scattered to widespread later Wednesday.
Southwesterly winds around 10 knots will be light and variable
overnight, picking up to around 10 knots again during the day
Wednesday. Cigs look to remain mostly VFR today, with MVFR/IFR
possible with showers and storms passing over terminals. A few
models have MVFR cigs moving in after 09Z, and IFR cigs at KCSV
before 12Z, but kept low VFR at KBNA/KMQY/KCKV and MVFR at KCSV
after 09Z.
