AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
401 PM CDT SAT APR 29 2006
.DISCUSSION...LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACES 1003 MB LOW PRESSURE
ACROSS SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA WITH A WEAK COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTH
ACROSS EAST TEXAS. TEMPERATURES THIS AFTERNOON HAVE REMAINED IN THE
60S DUE TO EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER AND SOME RAINFALL. WATER VAPOR
IMAGERY SHOWS DRY SLOT WORKING IN BEHIND CONVECTION ACROSS WEST
ARKANSAS/EAST TEXAS AND JUST EAST OF SURFAFCE/UPPER LEVEL LOW ACROSS
OKLAHOMA. MAIN CONCERNS THIS FORECAST PACKAGE IS CONVECTIVE
POTENTIAL ACROSS THE MID SOUTH TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY.
TONIGHT...ONGOING CONVECTION ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA SHOULD
CONTINUE TO PUSH EAST AS DRY SLOT UPSTREAM TRIES TO WORK IN THIS
EVENING. KLZK 88D ALREADY SHOWING A LINE OF CONVECTION DEVELOPING
ALONG THE SURFACE BOUNDARY WITH CONVECTION QUICKLY FILLING IN
ACROSS ARKANSAS. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS ENOUGH SHEAR IN PLACE ACROSS
THE MID SOUTH SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE WEAK
WITH TODAY/S RAIN/CLOUD COVER LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY.
THINK ANY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WOULD REMAIN ISOLATED AT
BEST...PRIMARILY LATE IN THE NIGHT. IN ADDITION WITH TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE MID SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON A FEW
LOCATIONS HAVE ALREADY REACHED OR COME CLOSE TO REACHING WIND
ADVISORY CRITERIA AND ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR MAINLY SOUTHWEST
SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA IN THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER DELTA UNTIL
10 PM.
SUNDAY AND MONDAY...NAM/GFS IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
BECOMING NEGATIVELY TITLTED AND ROTATING THROUGH THE MID SOUTH
DURING THE DAY ON SUNDAY. BIG QUESTION STILL REMAINING FOR TOMORROW IS
HOW MUCH INSTABILITY WILL BE IN PLACE ACROSS THE MID SOUTH. MODELS
INDICATE AT LEAST 1200 J/KG OF MUCAPE...A FAVORABLE AND NEARLY
UNIDIRECTIONAL WIND PROFILE IN THE 850-500 MB LAYER...AND
MARGINALLY 700 MB DRY AIR INDICATES THAT CONVECTION MAY BE IN THE FORM
OF A CONVECTIVE LINE SUNDAY MORNING AS IT MOVES ACROSS THE MID
SOUTH. IN ADDITION...0-6KM BULK SHEAR VALUES AROUND 50KTS...0-3KM
STORM RELATIVE HELICITIES AROUND 200 M2/S2....AND FAVORABLE
LCL/EQUILIBRIUM LEVELS SUGGEST THAT CONVECTION ESPECIALLY ACROSS
SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA MAY EXHIBIT MINI-SUPERCELL
TYPE CHARACTERISTICS IN A LOW CAPE/HIGH SHEAR ENVIRONMENT. AT THIS
POINT CURRENT THINKING IS THAT SEVERE THREAT WILL REMAIN ISOLATED
IF AT ALL WITH BEST CHANCES FOR SEVERE CONVECTION REMAINING
PRIMARILY ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI. AFTER THE
CONVECTIVE LINE PASSES THROUGH THE MID SOUTH MAIN THREAT FOR THE
REMAINDER OF SUNDAY INTO MONDAY WILL BE A FROM THUNDERSTORMS
PRODUCING HAIL WITH THE UPPER LEVEL LOW NEARBY.
LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)...LONG RANGE MODEL RUN TO RUN
CONSENSUS STILL SEEMS TO FAVOR THE 06Z GFS RUN WITH 00Z
ECMWF/NOGAPS/CANADIAN SOLUTIONS INSTEAD OF THE 00Z GFS SOLUTION
WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE OUTLIER FOR A SECOND DAY IN A ROW.
LONGWAVE TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO DEPART THE EAST COAST WHILE
WEAK RIDGING BUILDS IN ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY IN
ADVANCE OF ANOTHER TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE TO AFFECT THE REGION
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. AS A RESULT...WILL KEEP SOME LINGERING POPS
INTO TUESDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE FORECAST AREA
WITH HIGH PRESSU8RE BUILDING IN ON WEDNESDAY AND INTRODUCING POPS
BACK INTO THE FORECAST FOR THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL...NORTH MISSISSIPPI...AND WEST TENNESSEE. .DAY ONE...TONIGHT AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS HAS HELPED TO TIGHTEN THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE MID-SOUTH. THIS HAS ALLOWED WINDS TO GUST OVER 40 MPH ACROSS THE DELTA REGIONS OF EAST ARKANSAS...NORTHWEST MISSISSIPPI...AND SOUTHWEST TENNESSEE. A WIND ADVISORY HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THESE LOCATIONS THROUGH 10 PM CDT TONIGHT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO EXPECTED IN ADVANCE OF THIS SYSTEM LATER THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT. A FEW OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE STRONG WITH GUSTY WINDS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH...MAINLY ALONG AND WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE MID-SOUTH ON SUNDAY...AND AGAIN ON MONDAY. AS IMPULSES MOVE AROUND THE LOW PRESSURE OVER THE CENTER OF THE NATION...UNSTABLE AIR WILL PROMOTE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE MID-SOUTH. THE MOST FAVORED TIME FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS BOTH SUNDAY AND MONDAY. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN THREATS WITH THESE STORMS ON BOTH DAYS. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... ACTIVATION OF STORM SPOTTERS...EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT...AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS IN SUPPORT OF SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS WILL BE POSSIBLE BOTH SUNDAY AND MONDAY...PRIMARILY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS.
