.DISCUSSION...
(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 309 AM CDT Thu Apr 3 2025

Severe weather is still ongoing at the 3 AM hour across the Mid-
South. Several confirmed tornadoes were experienced across the area
yesterday and into the overnight hours. Our hearts go out to all the
communities who were effected and will awake to decimated
communities. Unfortunately, severe weather is still in the forecast
for the next several days alongside a dual threat of generational
flooding.

A stalled frontal boundary will linger at least 30% chances of
severe weather through Saturday. Instability to the south of the
front is still favorable of a strong to severe thunderstorm. As this
front remains parked, it will provide enough lift and bursts of
energy to need to be monitored for a few storms with all hazards at
play. This pattern will continue until the front clears the area.
Saturday. The primary hazards for the next few days is largely
damaging wind gusts and hail, a tornado cannot be ruled out. The
tornado threat is a bit higher for areas where the air mass has not
been contaminated by such heavy rainfall.

Generational flash, river, and areal flooding is all possible. Maxed
out perceptible water values for three convective days, training
storms extremely likely, and any convective development increasing
localized amounts has QPF values forecast to be in the 10-15 inch
range. The area likely to see such high amounts will be along and
north of I-40. Considerable flash flooding, especially in urbanized
areas, is expected. Never drive through flooded waters, and flooded
roadways are significantly more difficult to see at night. The axis
of heavy rainfall could still very easily shift so be sure to
continue to monitor the forecast.

While some rivers and streams have already shown a response from
last nights rainfall, soils will soon also show a response. They will
become supersaturated and leave no option but to reject all the
additional rain as runoff. Flash flooding will emerge as a primary
concern with this extremely active pattern. In addition, all of this
rainfall will make tree limbs very weak and easily breakable. It is
best to not only prepare for flooding, but power outages as well.
High and Moderate Risks for excessive rainfall are in effect through
Saturday.

Once the front is forced out of the area by a reinforcing cold
front, dry and cooler conditions return Monday morning. Until then,
stay safe.

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1111 PM CDT Wed Apr 2 2025

Active aviation forecast with multiple impacts expected through
the period at all sites. Ongoing convection over the entire region
will continue through the rest of the night with drops to MVFR
likely for extended periods of time from both CIGs and vsbys. A
line of storms will then settle over the region tonight as a
stationary boundary, locking these conditions in through
tomorrow at all terminals except TUP. TS might stop for a few
hours from ~10z through 18z, but then become reinvigorated
tomorrow afternoon with similar effects as tonight through the end
of the period. Enough confidence exists to introduce prevailing
TSRA around 00Z.
