The episode as NWS MEG wrote it up.
A persistent upper level low remained near the region from September 22 through September 26. Several rounds of thunderstorms develop over the area producing flash flooding over parts of southwest Tennessee.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Memphis, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Sep 21, 6:30 PM CST, 1 hour 35 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN 730 PM CDT MON SEP 21 2009 .UPDATE... INCREASED RAIN CHANCES EVERYWHERE TONIGHT AND ADDED HEAVY RAINFALL MENTION TO NE AR AND MO BOOTHEEL IN ZONES. && .DISCUSSION... MONITORING THE PROGRESSION A LARGE MCS/COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER SW MO AND NW AR. BELIEVE THIS MCS/COMPLEX OF STORMS WILL AFFECT AREAS WEST OF THE MS RIVER LATER TONIGHT...AND POSSIBLY EVEN CONTINUE EAST OF THE RIVER AFTER MIDNIGHT. BELIEVE MCS/COMPLEX OF STORMS WILL BE MAINTAINED THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT WITH AN INCREASING SOUTH/SOUTHWEST LOW LEVEL JET... 850 MB 25-35 KTS...IMPRESSIVE COLD POOL BEHIND THE LEADING EDGE WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S...AND MODERATE INSTABILITY WITH MUCAPE 1500-3000 J/KG PROPELLING THE MCS EAST/SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE NIGHT. LAST NIGHT/S 00Z NSSL 4 KM WRF MODEL DEPICTED THIS MCS VERY WELL. THINK MCS WILL MOVE INTO NE AR AND MO BOOTHEEL BETWEEN 10 PM AND MIDNIGHT...REACHING THE MS RIVER AROUND 2 AM CDT OR SO...BEFORE STALLING SOMEWHERE EAST OF THE MS RIVER...MAYBE NEAR A OXFORD MS TO PARIS TN LINE BY SUNRISE. THE LINE SHOULD SLOWLY WEAKENING THROUGH THE NIGHT. APPEARS THE BIGGEST THREAT WITH THE LINE OF STORMS WILL BE VERY HEAVY RAINFALL WITH 1 TO 3 INCHES IF NOT MORE...ESPECIALLY AS THE LINE WILL BE ALIGNED PERPENDICULAR TO THE MEAN MID LEVEL FLOW...ALLOWING FOR TRAINING OF CELLS. FLASH FLOODING IS DEFINITELY A CONCERN...ESPECIALLY SINCE THE GROUND IS WET FROM RECENT HEAVY RAINS. WILL CONSIDER A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. HIGHEST CONFIDENCE OF HEAVY RAINFALL APPEARS TO BE WEST OF THE MS RIVER WITH LESS CONFIDENCE EAST AS NOT SURE HOW ORGANIZED THE LINE WILL BE WITH SOME WEAKENING LIKELY. REGARDING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...THINK THIS POTENTIAL REMAINS FAIRLY LOW. A FEW BOWING SEGMENTS MAY BRING MARGINALLY SEVERE WINDS UP TO 60 MPH. CANNOT RULE OUT PENNY HAIL. HOWEVER...DO NOT THINK WIDESPREAD SEVERE WILL OCCUR AND DOUBT THAT A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH WILL BE NECESSARY. UPDATED HWO AND ZONES. WILL UPDATE LATER THIS EVENING. MBS && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 705 PM CDT MON SEP 21 2009/ UPDATE... UPDATED TO ADD 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 242 PM CDT MON SEP 21 2009/ DISCUSSION... CURRENTLY...THE WEATHER ACROSS THE MID SOUTH IS DIVIDED INTO TWO DIFFERENT SECTIONS. ACROSS NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI DEEPER MOISTURE COMBINED WITH AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE HAS RESULTED IN CLOUDY SKIES AND NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. TEMPS ACROSS NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI HAVE BEEN STUCK IN THE 70S. ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE MID SOUTH SKIES HAVE SCATTERED OUT AND TEMPS HAVE CLIMBED INTO THE LOWER IN MID 80S RESULTING IN AN MODERATELY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE WITH LIFTED INDEX VALUES OF -3C TO -5C AND SBCAPES AROUND 2000 J/KG. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS MUCH OF THE MID SOUTH. THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT...EXPECT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DISSIPATE WITH LOSS OF HEATING THIS EVENING. LAPSE RATES ARE FAIRLY WEAK SO EXPECT STORMS THIS EVENING TO REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LIMITS THOUGH A COUPLE OF THESE STORMS COULD BE STRONG WITH GUSTY WINDS. ANY STORM THAT DOES DEVELOP COULD DROP A QUICK 2 INCHES IN LESS THAN AN HOUR CAUSING SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING OF LOW LYING OR FLOOD PRONE AREAS. THE REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS SHOULD BE FAIRLY QUIET WITH PATCHY FOG AND LOW CLOUDS POSSIBLE AFTER MIDNIGHT DUE TO ALL THE RECENT RAINS AND SATURATED GROUND. TEMPS WILL REMAIN FAIRLY MILD WITH READINGS IN UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S IN MEMPHIS. TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...A DEEP 500 MB UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL MOVE INTO THE WESTERN PLAINS BY TUESDAY MORNING AND REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL PUSH INTO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS LATE TONIGHT AND SLOWLY EDGE EAST THROUGH WEDNESDAY BECOMING BASICALLY STATIONARY OVER ARKANSAS. AS A RESULT EXPECT MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE MID SOUTH WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING. A FEW STORMS COULD ALSO BE STRONG WITH GUSTY WINDS SINCE THE AIRMASS WILL BE FAIRLY UNSTABLE WITH LIFTED INDEX VALUES OF -4C TO -6C AND SBCAPES AROUND 2000 J/KG. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOUT NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...IN THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 80...THOUGH THE HUMIDITY WILL BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL. WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...THE 500 MB LOW REMAINS STATIONARY OVER THE WESTERN PLAINS ON THURSDAY WHILE THE FRONT ACROSS ARKANSAS WEAKENS AND BASICALLY FALLS APART AS SOME WEAK UPPER LEVEL RIDGING IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE MID SOUTH. AS A RESULT AREAL COVERAGE SHOULD LESSEN SOME DURING THIS TIME FRAME AND WILL GO 30-40 POPS. FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...MEDIUM RANGE MODELS SEEM TO BE IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH TRANSITIONING FROM A BLOCKING PATTERN TO A MORE PROGRESSIVE PATTERN THIS WEEKEND. THE CLOSED LOW IS FORECAST TO MOVE EAST FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AND DEVELOP INTO A FULL LATITUDE TROF ACROSS THE EASTERN U.S. ON SUNDAY. IF THIS FORECAST HOLDS THEN EXPECT PRECIP CHANCES AND THE HUMID WEATHER FRIDAY AND SATURDAY WITH DRIER AND LESS HUMID WEATHER FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY. SJM && .AVIATION... 00Z TAF PERIOD CONVECTIVE CHANCES OVERNIGHT AND LOW STRATUS/FOG POTENTIAL ARE THE TWO MAIN AVIATION FORECAST CHALLENGES OVERNIGHT. BASED ON LATEST TRENDS THINK CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY MAY ARRIVE AT JBR BETWEEN 05-07Z AND TOWARDS MEMPHIS AROUND 09Z AND MENTIONED VCTS FOR NOW. BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN UP A LITTLE HIGHER THAN LAST NIGHT AND HAVE LOWER CONFIDENCE IN LIFR VISIBILITIES OCCURRING. AS A RESULT...RAISED VISIBILITIES/CEILINGS FROM PREVIOUS TAF SET. VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DETERIORATE TO MVFR THEN IFR CEILINGS OVERNIGHT WITH LIFR POSSIBLE AT MKL/TUP TEMPORARILY BETWEEN 09-13Z. ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY AT ALL TERMINALS AND HANDLED IN TAF AS VCTS FOR NOW. WINDS PREDOMINANTLY WILL BE SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH THROUGH THE 00Z TAF PERIOD. CJC && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
