AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
323 PM CDT FRI MAY 1 2009
.DISCUSSION...
WET WEEKEND SHAPING UP FOR THE MIDSOUTH. A COLD FRONT CURRENTLY
STRETCHES FROM OKLAHOMA CITY OKLAHOMA TO PADUCAH KENTUCKY. THE FRONT
WILL CONTINUE TO SINK SOUTH TONIGHT. AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE OCCURRING AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL CONTINUE INTO
THIS EVENING. SOME STORMS HAVE RECENTLY GONE SEVERE THUS EXPECT SEVERE
THREAT TO CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING AS WELL. EXPECT AFTER SUNSET
MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY WILL DIE AND THE SEVERE THREAT SHOULD
DIMINISH AS WELL. HOWEVER WITH THE FRONT MOVING INTO NORTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE CWA...THERE WILL STILL BE SOME SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE FRONT INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
THE FRONT WILL BECOME STATIONARY OVER THE CWA ON SATURDAY. THE
FRONT WILL REMAIN THE FOCUS FOR CONTINUED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT INTO THE WEEKEND. WILL LIKELY ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD
WATCH FOR THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE CWA BEGINNING TONIGHT THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. PORTIONS OF EAST ARKANSAS...THE MISSOURI
BOOTHEEL...AND NORTHWEST TENNESSEE ALREADY RECEIVED HEAVY RAIN
TUESDAY MORNING IN ADDITION TO THE SPOTTY THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE
LAST TWO DAYS. WITH THE GROUND ALREADY SATURATED...IT WILL NOT
TAKE MUCH TO CAUSE FLASH FLOODING. LATER ON DURING THE WEEKEND THE
WATCH MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED SOUTH AS THE HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL
SHIFTS SOUTH. LOWS WILL REMAIN IN THE 60S.
ON SATURDAY...THE FRONT WILL SAG A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH. AGAIN
EXPECT SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP ALONG
THE FRONT. NORTHEAST ARKANSAS AND THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL...AND
NORTHWEST TENNESSEE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY
RAIN. THERE COULD ALSO BE SOME ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS NORTH OF THE
FRONT. MEMPHIS METRO AREA WILL BE IN THE VICINITY OF THE FRONT.
IF THE FRONT SAGS SOUTH OF MEMPHIS...MEMPHIS COULD GET INTO THE
HEAVIER RAIN. IF THE FRONT IS JUST NORTH...COULD SEE SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. EXPECT AFTERNOON SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT OVER NORTH MISSISSIPPI. NORTH MISSISSIPPI WILL ALSO
SEE THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE STORMS AS CLOUD COVER NEAR THE
FRONT WILL KEEP POTENTIAL DOWN NEAR THE MEMPHIS METRO AREA.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER NORTH OF THE FRONT.
SATURDAY NIGHT...FRONT WILL REMAIN STATIONARY OVER THE AREA. EXPECT
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE. BEST CHANCES WILL OCCUR ALONG
AND NORTH OF THE FRONT. THIS MAY BE THE PERIOD OF THE HEAVIEST RAIN.
ON SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT...FRONT WILL BEGIN SHIFTING SOUTH AGAIN.
LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO FORM ALONG THE FRONT AND MOVE NORTHEAST
INTO NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY NIGHT.
SOME SEVERE STORMS MAY DEVELOP ACROSS NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI OUT
AHEAD OF THE LOW PRESSURE. LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND
ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE IF SEVERE STORMS DEVELOP.
ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE CWA...THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN WILL BE THE
MAIN THREAT AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES NORTHEAST.
MONDAY...SOME LINGERING RAIN WILL OCCUR MAINLY OVER NORTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI AS THE FRONT PUSHES SOUTHEAST. OTHERWISE...HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BEGIN BUILDING IN FROM THE NORTH. HIGHS BEHIND THE
FRONT WILL BE IN THE UPPER 60S TO NEAR 70.
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE
MIDSOUTH. EXPECT MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES. HIGHS WILL BE NEAR NORMAL IN
THE UPPER 70S WITH LOWS IN THE 50S.
WEDNESDAY THROUGH END OF FORECAST...ANOTHER SHORTWAVE WILL SWING
THROUGH THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY. IN ADDITION...SOUTHERLY FLOW FROM
THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL RETURN. THIS WILL HELP SET OFF AFTERNOON AND
EVENING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH FRIDAY. HIGHS WILL RETURN
TO THE 80S.
