The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Memphis, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 6, 8:57 AM CST, 2 hours 43 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN 957 AM CDT MON JUN 6 2005 .DISCUSSION... CURRENT FORECAST IS ON TRACK FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL MAKE ONLY MINOR CHANGES. WEAK H5 LOW CENTERED OVER WEST-CENTRAL MS IS FORECAST TO MOVE EAST-NORTHEAST DURING THE DAY. THIS LOW IN COMBINATION WITH INCREASING MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH HAS HELPED TO CAUSE A CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTH MS. THESE STORMS WILL PUSH INTO WEST TN THIS AFTERNOON HELPING TO HOLD TEMPERATURES DOWN FROM WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN THE LAST FEW DAYS. ELSEWHERE...THINK THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE DUE TO AFTERNOON HEATING. 12Z LZK SOUNDING INDICATED POSSIBLE CAPES AROUND 3000 J/KG THIS AFTERNOON. && .PREV DISCUSSION... ISSUED 208 AM CDT MON JUN 6 2005 THE COMPLEX OF STORMS THAT DEVELOPED SUNDAY EVENING OVER SOUTH/CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI DECREASED RAPIDLY AFTER MIDNIGHT. MUCH OF THE CLOUD COVER OVER THE MID SOUTH IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHOWERS THAT FORMED OVER MISSISSIPPI. ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED OVER LOUISIANA AND WILL LIKELY TRACK TO THE EAST/NORTHEAST OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. A FEW LIGHTNING STRIKES HAVE POPPED UP OVER PHILLIPS AND COAHOMA COUNTIES. KNQA 88-D PICKS UP ON THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SENT OUT FROM THE CONVECTION EARLIER. THIS IS SERVING AS THE FOCUS MECHANISM FOR THESE SHOWERS. FARTHER WEST OVER THE RED RIVER VALLEY A MCS WAS TRANSLATING SLOWLY EASTWARD. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE ATMOSPHERE OVER THE SOUTHEAST U.S. IS CHAOTIC AND THE MODELS HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT TO DECIPHER. BOTH THE GFS AND NAM SHOW A WEAKNESS IN THE MID LEVELS THROUGH THURSDAY. FEEL THAT RAIN CHANCES TODAY MAY BE BETTER THAN PREVIOUS DAYS DUE TO A SLIGHT INCREASE IN STEEPENING LAPSE RATES MAINLY OVER NORTHEAST ARKANSAS. THE INSTABILITY OVER NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI IS ALSO A CONCERN AS FAR AS DEVELOPING SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY MENTIONED ABOVE WILL PLAY A PART IN ADDITIONAL SHOWER DEVELOPMENT TODAY. IT APPEARS THAT WHATEVER DEVELOPS WILL NOT REACH SEVERE LIMITS. MOST AREAS SURE COULD USE THE RAIN. AS FAR AS TEMPERATURES ARE CONCERNED...TODAY THE NAM IS MUCH COOLER THAN THE MAV. THIS IS PROBABLY DUE TO THE INCREASED CLOUD COVER AND CONVECTION THAT IS INFLUENCING THE LOWER TEMPS. THIS MAY COME TO FRUITION HOWEVER WE ARE LEANING TOWARD THE WARMER MAV TEMPS JUST BASED ON CONSISTENCY. WITH SUCH LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE LATEST MODEL RUNS...CANNOT ARGUE AGAINST CURRENT FORECAST ESPECIALLY IN DAYS 2 THROUGH 7. && .MEG WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AR...NONE. MO...NONE. MS...NONE. TN...NONE. &&
