NWS Memphis, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 9, 2:38 PM CST, 3 hours 7 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN 338 PM CDT THU JUN 9 2005 .DISCUSSION... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE MID-SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON. THESE STORMS HAVE BEEN UNORGANIZED AND OF THE PULSE VARIETY...AND WITH CAPE VALUES RANGING BETWEEN 2000-3000 J/KG A FEW OF THESE STORMS MAY BRIEFLY BECOME SEVERE...WITH WET MICROBURST AND MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL THE MOST LIKELY SEVERE THREATS THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH LATE THIS EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. THE SUMMER-LIKE PATTERN OVER THE MID-SOUTH WILL CONTINUE INTO THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND AS THE BERMUDA HIGH REMAINS IN PLACE OVER THE SOUTHEAST U.S. AND KEEPS THE AIRMASS OVER THE AREA VERY WARM AND HUMID. A WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL REMAIN STALLED ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH SATURDAY. SO WILL STICK WITH A PERSISTENCE FORECAST THROUGH SATURDAY. EXPECT CONTINUED PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND DAILY CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...WHICH WILL BE MOST ABUNDANT WITH THE HIGHEST COVERAGE DURING PEAK MAXIMUM DAYTIME HEATING. ONCE AGAIN...HIGH CAPE VALUES BETWEEN 2000-3000 J/KG BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON WILL LEAD TO ANOTHER ROUND OF POSSIBLE PULSE SEVERE STORMS. THE MAIN THREATS FRIDAY AFTERNOON WILL ONCE AGAIN BE WET MICROBURSTS AND MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL. BEYOND SATURDAY...THE FORECAST WILL HINGE ON THE CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT AND EXACT TRACK OF TROPICAL STORM ARLENE. CURRENT MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWING A TRACK OVER EASTERN PORTION OF OUR FORECAST AREA... AS THE TROPICAL SYSTEM MOVES ALONG THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE BUILDING UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM CURRENTLY OVER THE WESTERN ATLANTIC. THIS UPPER LEVEL ANTICYCLONE IS FORECAST TO REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE 12Z NAM IS WEAKER AND FASTER WITH THE TROPICAL STORM AS COMPARED WITH THE 12Z GFS/ECMWF. THE 12Z ECMWF/GFS ALSO FURTHER WEST WITH LANDFALL ALONG MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST AS COMPARED WITH 12Z NAM...WHICH WAS FURTHER EAST. LATEST 18Z NAM NOW ALSO FURTHER WEST. THE EVENTUAL TRACK AND STRENGTH OF THIS SYSTEM WILL DETERMINE ITS ULTIMATE IMPACTS ON THE MID-SOUTH. CURRENTLY PREFER THE SLOWER MODEL SOLUTIONS AS THE SYSTEM REMAINS OVER THE NORTHWEST CARIBBEAN SEA THIS EVENING...EVEN THOUGH SYSTEM SHOULD INCREASE ITS FORWARD SPEED A BIT. SINCE THIS SYSTEM IS STILL DEVELOPING AND A COUPLE OF DAYS OUT...HAVE DECIDED TO ONLY INCREASE POPS SLIGHTLY...ESPECIALLY OVER EASTERN SECTIONS FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. IF WESTWARD MODEL TRENDS CONTINUE TOMORROW...WILL NEED TO RAMP UP POPS AREAWIDE FOR THIS TIME PERIOD. PREFER TO TAKE A WAIT AND SEE APPROACH FOR NOW...AND MAKE MAJOR POP DECISION FRIDAY AFTERNOON. BUT COULD BE A WET PERIOD FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY IF SYSTEM GOES OVERHEAD OR TO THE WEST. TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOVE NORMAL...BUT WILL BE HELD DOWN BY ANY RAINFALL. FOR MONDAY AND BEYOND...TROPICAL AIRMASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE BEHIND THE DEPARTURE OF THE TROPICAL SYSTEM. THEREFORE...EXPECT MORE DIURNAL CONVECTION DURING THE DAY MONDAY WITH VERY WARM TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY LEVELS. NEXT COLD FRONT PROGGED FOR TUESDAY... WITH MORE CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL FOLLOW FOR THE MIDDLE TO END OF NEXT WEEK...BRINGING DRIER WEATHER AND LOWER HUMIDITY LEVELS. && .MEG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AR...NONE. MO...NONE. MS...NONE.
