AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
351 AM CDT FRI SEP 14 2007
.SHORT TERM...
(TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)
EARLY THIS MORNING...THE LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATED THE
REMAINS OF HURRICANE HUMBERTO OVER NORTHEAST LA. MOSTLY WELCOME
RAINS WERE SPREADING INTO NORTH MS AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM. LATEST
SATELLITE INDICATES COOLING TOPS OVER NORTH-CENTRAL MS WHILE RADAR
INDICATES INCREASED REFLECTIVITY. LIGHTING STRIKES ARE ALSO BEING
DETECTED. RAIN INTENSITIES HAVE INCREASED ON THE GREENWOOD MS
OBSERVATION...0.60 INCH IN THE LAST HOUR.
THE REMAINS OF HUMBERTO ARE FORECAST TO TRACK EASTWARD ACROSS
NORTH-CENTRAL MS TODAY. THE CURRENT FLOOD WATCH LOOKS GOOD AS
HEAVY RAIN SPREADS INTO THIS AREA. THE WATCH IS GENERALLY ALONG
AND SOUTH OF A CHARLESTON TO NEW ALBANY TO FULTON MS LINE...THE
EVENING SHIFT TRIMMED THE WATCH BACK SOME FROM WHAT IT WAS AND
THIS LOOKS GOOD. THINK TOTAL RAIN AMOUNTS BETWEEN 3 AND 5 INCHES
ARE POSSIBLE IN SOME LOCATIONS WHICH MAY CAUSE LOCALIZED FLOODING
PARTICULARLY WHEN FALLING AT HIGH RAINFALL RATES PER HOUR. THOUGHT
ABOUT KEEPING THE WATCH ONLY UNTIL ABOUT NOON...HOWEVER HAVE
DECIDED TO KEEP AS IS WHICH IS 7 PM. THE NAM IS SLOWER THAN THE
GFS IN MOVING THE REMNANTS OF HUMBERTO AWAY FROM THE
MID-SOUTH...THUS CAN NOT RULE OUT SOME HEAVY RAIN LINGERING INTO
THE AFTERNOON. THE WATCH MAY BE CANCELLED EARLIER BY THE DAYSHIFT
IF THE RAIN DOES MOVE OUT AS QUICKLY AS INDICATED BY THE GFS
MODEL.
THE OTHER FEATURE WE ARE WATCHING THIS MORNING IS A COLD FRONT
THAT STRETCHES FROM NORTH IL THROUGH NORTHERN MO INTO SOUTHEAST KS.
VERY COOL CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE WAS LOCATED OVER THE UPPER
PLAINS BEHIND THIS FRONT. IN FACT...TEMPERATURES WERE NEAR OF
SLIGHTLY BELOW FREEZING OVER PARTS OF THE UPPER PLAINS. THIS FRONT
IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE MID-SOUTH BY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON...AND THEN THROUGH THE ENTIRE AREA TONIGHT. NOT
EXPECTING MUCH PRECIPITATION IF ANY WITH THE FRONT AS DRIER AIR
WILL BEING SPREADING INTO THE MID-SOUTH TODAY AS THE REMNANTS OF
HUMBERTO MOVE EASTWARD. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY IS SHOWING THIS DRY
AIR AT THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS ALREADY BEGINNING TO MOVE INTO THE
MID-SOUTH FROM THE WEST. COOL FALL-LIKE TEMPERATURES WILL FOLLOW
THE FRONT AND PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SKIES WILL GRADUALLY
CLEAR TONIGHT. WEAK UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES IN NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT MAY BRING SOME CIRRUS TO PARTS OF THE AREA OVER THE
WEEKEND...OTHERWISE SKIES WILL BE MOSTLY CLEAR. LOW AFTERNOON
HUMIDITIES...NORTHEAST BREEZES...AND FALL-LIKE TEMPERATURES SHOULD
MAKE FOR VERY NICE WEATHER THIS WEEKEND.
.LONG TERM...
(MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
00Z LONG RANGE MODELS INDICATE UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL REMAIN IN
PLACE ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THROUGH THE
PERIOD...BRINGING RAIN FREE WEATHER TO THE REGION. MEANWHILE...AN
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL ENTER THE WEST COAST AND AN UPPER LEVEL
LOW WILL MOVE AROUND THE SOUTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE AND INTO
THE GULF OF MEXICO BY THE END OF THE PERIOD. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
AT OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMALS FOR SEPTEMBER.
