AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN
305 PM CDT FRI JUN 25 2010
.DISCUSSION...
FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE MIDSOUTH IS HELPING TO SET OFF SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. FRONT WILL WASH OUT OVER THE MIDSOUTH
TONIGHT. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHOULD DIE OUT DURING THE EVENING
HOURS THUS WILL LEAVE 20 POPS THROUGH MIDNIGHT. LOWS WILL BE IN
THE 70S.
THIS WEEKEND...UPPER RIDGE REMAINS OVER THE CWA. DIURNAL CONVECTION
WILL OCCUR IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. HIGHS WILL REACH INTO
MID 90S. AS FAR AS HEAT ADVISORIES...DEWPOINTS HAVE BEEN POOLING
ALONG THE FRONT YESTERDAY AND TODAY WHICH HELPED ALLOW HEAT
INDICES TO REACH 105. THIS WEEKEND...THE FRONT WILL NO LONGER BE
AROUND THUS DEWPOINTS SHOULD MIX DOWN IN THE AFTERNOON WHICH
SHOULD KEEP HEAT INDICES BELOW 105. THUS ADVISORIES SHOULD NOT BE
NEEDED. HOWEVER HEAT INDICES WILL STILL REMAIN BETWEEN 100 AND
104. LOWS WILL REMAIN IN THE 70S.
MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...GFS AND ECMWF HAVE COME CLOSER IN
TIMING WITH THE NEXT FRONT BUT ARE STILL DIFFERENT WITH EXACT TIMING.
GFS CONTINUES TO BE THE FASTER MODEL. GFS SEEMS TOO FAST WITH THE
PROGRESSION THUS WILL LEAN TOWARD THE ECMWF. CHANCES FOR SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR THROUGH THE PERIOD. CLOUD COVER AND
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD KEEP HEAT INDICES BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA.
HOWEVER IT WILL BE CLOSE AS DEWPOINTS COULD COME UP AND POOL ALONG
THE FRONT.
WEDNESDAY THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST...GFS CONTINUES TO
RETROGRADE THE UPPER RIDGE TO THE WEST. MEANWHILE THE ECMWF
STRENGTHENS THE RIDGE OVER THE AREA. RELUCTANT TO FOLLOW GFS AS IT
HAS ADVERTISED THE RIDGE BREAKING DOWN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND IT
HAS YET TO HAPPEN THUS WILL CONTINUE TO LEAN TOWARD ECMWF.
TEMPERATURES WILL JUMP BACK INTO THE MID 90S. HOWEVER AIR WILL BE DRIER
SO DON/T THINK HEAT INDICES WILL BE A PROBLEM.
