Area forecast discussion, Jun 1, 10:13 AM CST, 4 hours 2 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN 1113 AM CDT SUN JUN 1 2008 .DISCUSSION...SURFACE ANALYSIS THIS MORNING INDICATES A QUASI- STATIONARY BOUNDARY LOCATED FROM KENTUCKY BACK THROUGH MISSOURI AN INTO THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS. VISIBLE SATELLITE/REGIONAL WSR-88D TRENDS INDICATE AN MCS PRESENT ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA. ACROSS THE MID SOUTH...TEMPERATURES WERE PRIMARILY IN THE 80S WITH MOSTLY SUNNY TO PARTLY SUNNY SKIES. SHORT TERM CONVECTIVE ANALYSIS/MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE PULSE TYPE THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF DAMAGING WINDS/LARGE HAIL. ONGOING FORECAST ON TRACK AT THIS TIME AND THINK BEST CHANCE FOR CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY SHOULD BE FROM MID AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. NO CHANGES PLANNED AT THIS TIME. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 314 AM CDT SUN JUN 1 2008/ DISCUSSION... THUNDERSTORMS WERE FIRING EARLY THIS MORNING OVER THE OZARKS AND MIDDLE TN. THESE THUNDERSTORMS WERE EMBEDDED IN NORTHWEST FLOW...AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF A 500MB HEIGHT RIDGE CENTERED OVER SOUTHWEST TX AT 5930M. THE THUNDERSTORMS APPEARED TO BE ANCHORED ALONG A AN ELEVATED LOW LEVEL FRONT...ORIENTED ROUGHLY PARALLEL TO THE MID LEVEL FLOW. 00Z LZK SOUNDING SHOWED A PRONOUNCED WARM LAYER FROM 550MB THROUGH 850 MB...EFFECTIVELY CAPPING DEEP CONVECTION. THIS WARM LAYER WAS ABSENT ON THE 00Z SGF SOUNDING. THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN SHOULD AMPLIFY TODAY. THE SUBTROPICAL HEIGHT RIDGE WILL BUILD NORTH UP THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE...WHILE DOWNSTREAM HEIGHTS LOWER OVER THE EASTERN U.S.. THIS WILL PLACE THE MIDSOUTH UNDER WEAKER CONVECTIVE CAPPING AND SLIGHTLY STRONGER FLOW ALOFT. FOR THIS MORNING...EXPECT A FEW OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MO OZARKS TO MOVE INTO NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE MIDSOUTH. AS SURFACE HEATING BUILDS AND UPPER LEVEL FLOW STRENGTHENS...EXPECT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE MIDSOUTH DURING THE AFTERNOON. PULSE SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE... WITH CAPES IN EXCESS OF 2000 J/KG AND WEAK DIRECTIONAL SHEAR. NAM AND GFS MOS GUIDANCE DIFFER GREATLY ON SECOND PERIOD POPS... RANGING FROM NO MENTION AT ALL TO LIKELY. REALITY LIKELY LIES SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN. 00Z GFS BRINGS AN MCS FROM SOUTHERN MO INTO THE MIDSOUTH THIS EVENING. 00Z NAM LIKEWISE DEVELOPS AN MCS...BUT MUCH LATER...ON MONDAY MORNING LATE. THE GFS DEVELOPMENT OF THE MCS EARLY ON APPEARS TO BE HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY A MESOSCALE 250MB DIVERGENCE MAXIMUM. THESE FEATURES CAN CHANGE QUITE A BIT FROM RUN TO RUN. A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO HANG LIKELY POPS FOR TONIGHT BASED ON THIS AND WILL THUS AIM FOR A COMPROMISE CLOSER TO THE 00Z NAM. UPPER LEVEL FLOW BECOMES ZONAL AND SLIGHTLY FAST FOR EARLY JUNE... AS THE MID LEVEL HEIGHT RIDGE CENTER DROPS TO NORTHERN MEXICO IN THE MIDWEEK. SOUTHERLY SURFACE WINDS OVER THE MIDSOUTH SHOULD RESPOND TO THE FASTER FLOW ALOFT...KEEPING DEWPOINTS AND OVERNIGHT TEMPS UP. POPS BECOME MORE OF A CHALLENGE IN MIDWEEK...WITH THE TIMING OF SUBTLE EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES DIFFICULT TO PIN DOWN. GFS KEEPS THE LOW LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE TO THE NORTH OF THE MIDSOUTH...WILL THUS KEEP POPS BELOW MENTIONABLE LEVELS OVER MOST AREAS. THE GFS AND ECMWF REMAIN CONSISTENT IN DROPPING A HIGH AMPLITUDE LONGWAVE TROF INTO THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN REGION ON THURSDAY...WHICH WILL ALLOW THE UPPER LEVEL SUBTROPICAL HEIGHT RIDGE TO BUILD INTO THE SOUTHEAST STATES. RAIN CHANCES WILL BE LIMITED UNTIL SOME WEAKENING OF THE UPPER RIDGE OCCURS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. LATE WEEK TEMPS WILL REMAIN WELL ABOVE NORMAL...WITH AFTERNOON HEAT INDICES LIKELY TOPPING 100 DEGREES OVER PORTIONS OF THE MIDSOUTH. PWB && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
