NWS Memphis, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Nov 5, 10:24 PM CST, 36 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN 1024 PM CST SAT NOV 5 2005 .UPDATE... ...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 AM CST FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST ARKANSAS AND THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL... LATE UPDATE TONIGHT DUE TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH COORDINATION. A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS PUSHING TOWARDS NORTHEAST ARKANSAS CURRENTLY. THIS LINE OF STORMS HAS DEVELOPED AHEAD OF AN EASTWARD MOVING COLD FRONT AND SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVELY TILTED SHORTWAVE DISTURBANCE MOVING NORTHEAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS STATES. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL CONTINUE TO DESTABILIZE OVER MAINLY NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE MID-SOUTH IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE SHORTWAVE. ALSO...ATMOSPHERIC SHEAR IS SUFFICIENTLY STRONG TO SUPPORT SOME SEVERE WIND GUSTS IN THE STRONGEST STORMS. ALSO...LOW LEVEL WIND FIELD IS BACKED ENOUGH AHEAD OF THE FRONT TO POSE AN ISOLATED THREAT OF A TORNADO IN ANY SUPERCELLS THAT ARE EMBEDDED WITHIN THE LINE. ALTHOUGH...THIS THREAT SHOULD BE LIMITED WITH DAMAGING STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS BEING THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH ALSO A LOWER THREAT OF ISOLATED LARGE HAIL. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 AM FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST ARKANSAS AND THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS POTENTIAL. SEVERE POTENTIAL MAY SPREAD FURTHER EAST INTO NORTHWEST TENNESSEE AFTER MIDNIGHT...BUT WILL NEED TO SEE HOW THIS EVOLVES AS THERE WILL BE SOME QUESTION TO THE OVERALL AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY OVER THESE AREAS AS PRIMARY FOCUS OF LIFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHORTWAVE LIFTS TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE AREA. WILL KEEP AN EYE ON THIS AREA THOUGH FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT. UPDATED GRIDS AND ZONES ALREADY SENT. STAY ABREAST OF ANY ADDITIONAL WATCHES OR SEVERE WEATHER WARNINGS ISSUED THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT. && .MEG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AR...NONE. MO...NONE. MS...NONE. TN...NONE. && JLH
