AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
242 PM CDT FRI JUL 14 2006
.DISCUSSION...
SATELLITE SHOWS A MCV MOVING ACROSS SOUTHEAST MISSOURI THIS
AFTERNOON. TO THE SOUTH OF THE MCV...THERE IS A BOUNDARY THAT CAN
BE SEEN IN THE WIND FIELDS. THIS BOUNDARY WILL BE SLOWLY MOVING
THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT AND INTO SATURDAY AND MAY HELP TO
TRIGGER A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. WET MICROBURST PARAMETERS ARE NOT
FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE WINDS AND FREEZING LEVEL/-20 ARE SO HIGH THAT
IT IS UNLIKELY THAT ANY STORMS WOULD REACH SEVERE
LIMITS...ALTHOUGH THEY COULD HAVE A GOOD DEAL OF LIGHTING AND
STRONG WIND GUSTS. HEAT ADVISORY TODAY LOOKS EXTREMELY WARRANTED
WITH MOST LOCATIONS APPROACHING 105 ON THE HEAT INDEX. WILL
CONTINUE THE HEAT ADVISORY UNTIL 7 PM WHEN VALUES SHOULD FALL WITH
LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. MAV GUIDANCE WHICH HAS HAD A GOOD HANDLE
ON THE DEW POINTS DOES NOT SHOW MUCH OF A DROP IN VALUES TOMORROW.
WITH 850 TEMPS STILL AROUND +20 AND NO INDICATIONS OF SIGNIFICANT
CLOUD COVER...PLANNING ON ANOTHER HEAT ADVISORY FOR SATURDAY
AFTERNOON. IF STORMS DO DEVELOP...EXPECT THEM TO REMAIN ISOLATED
TO SCATTERED AND TO PROVIDE RELIEF FOR SOME. OTHERWISE...HEAT
INDICES NEAR 105 ONCE AGAIN POSSIBLE.
BY SUNDAY...DEW POINTS MAY MIX DOWN JUST BELOW 70 IN THE
AFTERNOON. BUT WITH 850 TEMPS REMAIN AROUND +20...SUPPORTING
TEMPS IN THE UPPER 90S...HEAT INDICES WILL STILL REMAIN BETWEEN
100-105. SO...THE TRADE OFF FOR A LITTLE LESS HUMIDITY IS A LITTLE
MORE HEAT. 850- 500MB MEAN LAYER RH LOOKS DRY ENOUGH THAT
AFTERNOON CONVECTION SHOULD NOT BE AROUND OR AT BEST 10 PERCENT
COVERAGE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. BY WEDNESDAY...GFS CONTINUES TO
SHOW SOME DEEPER LEVEL MOISTURE ROTATING AROUND THE HIGH PRESSURE
SYSTEM ANCHORED OVER THE SOUTHEAST U.S. ALSO...SLIGHTLY COOLER 850
TEMP (+18) MAY BE ROTATING AROUND. THIS MAY INCREASE THE CHANCES
FOR THUNDERSTORMS AND COOL DOWN THE WEATHER SOME.
