.DISCUSSION...
(Today through Friday)
Issued at 345 AM CDT Sat Jun 7 2025

GOES Water Vapor satellite depict an MCS moving across eastern
Oklahoma and into western Arkansas early this morning. Regional
WSR-88D radar trends show the leading edge of a line of showers
and thunderstorms over northwest and central Arkansas. Meanwhile,
a quasi-stationary surface boundary extends across portions of
the Lower Mississippi Valley north of I-40. Temperatures are in
the 70s areawide across the Mid-South.

The aforementioned MCS is anticipated to weaken early this
morning. It will transition into an MCV as it moves into the Mid-
South towards mid-morning. Moderate to strong instability,
moderately steep mid-level lapse rates, and 0-6 km Bulk Shear in
excess of 40 kts will favor the development of severe
thunderstorms across the forecast area later this morning into the
afternoon. Damaging winds and large hail will remain the
predominant severe weather threats. A tornado or two is possible
with sufficient speed and directional shear. Precipitable water
values approaching 2 inches will also favor the potential of
localized heavy rainfall. Additional showers and thunderstorms are
possible later this evening into early Sunday morning as a weak
cold front drops into the area. Short-term model soundings
indicate tonight's activity may be elevated if it even occurs.

Additional showers and thunderstorms are possible on Sunday,
mainly across north Mississippi as moderate instability develops
across the region. Shear is expected to be much lower with the
severe thunderstorm threat being more conditional during peak
daytime heating. The threat for strong to severe thunderstorms
will persist into Monday as another shortwave trough rotates
through the Mississippi Valley.

Mid/long-range deterministic and ensemble model solutions
continue to indicate the front washing out across the Lower
Mississippi Valley early next week. Shower and thunderstorm
chances will decrease into Tuesday but gradually return towards
mid to late next week as a mid-level trough moves into the Southern
Plains. Temperatures for early next week will start in the lower
to middle 80s, then increasing into the upper 80s to around 90
degrees by late week.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 628 AM CDT Sat Jun 7 2025

Impacts to aviation expected throughout the TAF period. A complex
of thunderstorms will move into the region from the west by 14z,
impacting all sites through this afternoon. Expect MVFR to IFR
impacts while the system passes. Additional thunderstorm
development behind the first wave of storms is possible, but still
uncertain. Any additional convection will eventually shift south
and remain around the vicinity of MEM/TUP tonight, decaying by 12z
tomorrow.
