.UPDATE...
UPDATE TO ADD SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 742 AND READJUST POPS
ACROSS THE REGION.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
A FORWARD PROPAGATING MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM (MCS) CONTINUES
TO ADVANCE QUICKLY SOUTHEAST INTO NORTHEAST ARKANSAS THIS EVENING.
THIS SYSTEM SHOULD CONTINUE TO MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO THE MISSOURI
BOOTHEEL AND NORTHWEST TENNESSEE OVERNIGHT. THESE THUNDERSTORMS
WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE WIND DAMAGE AND A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THESE LOCATIONS THROUGH 4
AM CDT. ALSO HAVE RAISED TO LIKELY POPS AND LOWERED LOW
TEMPERATURES IN THESE LOCATIONS.
FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI...A BACKBUILDING MCS
CONTINUES TO PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAINFALL AND A LOCALIZED FLOOD
THREAT. THIS AREA WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED FOR A POSSIBLE
FLASH FLOOD WATCH IF STORMS LOOK TO PERSIST AFTER MIDNIGHT AND
ALSO FOR POSSIBLE UPSTREAM ACTIVITY.
UPDATED ZONES...GRIDS...AND HAZARDS WILL BE SENT SHORTLY.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 328 PM CDT SUN AUG 7 2011/
DISCUSSION...
.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.
SMALL MCV OVER CENTRAL ARKANSAS HAS BEEN PRODUCING POTENT
THUNDERSTORMS WITH MICROBURSTS BEING REPORTED NEAR LITTLE ROCK
THIS AFTERNOON. THIS FEATURE WILL CONTINUE TO HEAD EAST INTO
NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI EARLY THIS EVENING. SOME SEVERE STORMS ARE
POSSIBLE THROUGH ABOUT 9 OR 10 PM BEFORE INSTABILITY DIMINISHES
SUFFICIENTLY. ADDED AN ENHANCED AREA OF POPS TO COVER THIS FEATURE
OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN AREAS...WITH SCHC ELSEWHERE.
SHOULD SEE ONE MORE DAY OF VERY HOT TEMPERATURES ON MONDAY BEFORE
BIG CHANGES FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. THERMAL RIDGE REMAINS IN
PLACE BUT INTENSITY BEGINS TO WANE CONSIDERABLY BY MONDAY EVENING
AS THE RIDGE BEGINS RETROGRADING WESTWARD. NAM12 INDICATES HIGHS
IN THE UPPER 90S/LOW 100S AGAIN...WITH THE ECMWF ON THE COOLER
SIDE OF GUIDANCE DUE TO EXCESSIVE CLOUDS/STORMS. MET/MAV NUMBERS
ARE CLOSE WITH TEMPERATURES/POPS SO WENT WITH THOSE. AFTER ADDING
IN DEW POINT GRIDS AND CALCULATING HEAT INDICES...LOOKS LIKE THE
CURRENT HEADLINE CONFIGURATION IS IN GOOD SHAPE.
CLUSTER OF STORMS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER EASTERN KS/SWRN MO
MONDAY AFTERNOON ON THE READING EDGE OF THE RIDGE. AS THE RIDGE
BUILDING WESTWARD...THIS CLUSTER SHOULD DEVELOP INTO A FORWARD
PROPAGATING MCS AND TRACK EAST SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN CWA
MONDAY NIGHT. DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE...PARTICULARLY
ACROSS NERN AR/MO/NWRN TN. BUMPED UP POPS TO LIKELY MAINLY AFTER
MIDNIGHT OVER THE NORTH WITH CHC ELSEWHERE.
CLOUDS AND LINGERING SHOWERS/STORMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE MCS MAY
STILL BE ONGOING TUESDAY ACROSS THE NORTH AND EAST. THIS SHOULD
KEEP TEMPERATURES CONSIDERABLY COOLER THROUGH THE DAY...WITH HIGHS
ONLY IN THE MID 80S. FARTHER WEST THE RIDGE WILL STILL HAVE SOME
INFLUENCE AND WITH WEST WINDS SHOULD BE ABLE TO RECOVER BACK TO
THE LOW OR MID 90S ACROSS NORTHWEST MS.
BRIEF BREAK EXPECTED TUESDAY NIGHT WITH CLEARING SKIES. LIGHT
NORTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL BRING REFRESHINGLY COOLER AIR NOT SEEN
AROUND HERE IN SOME TIME.
.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
THE RIDGE TRIES TO BUILD BACK A BIT WEDNESDAY...BUT WONT QUITE
MAKE IT THIS FAR EAST. INSTEAD IT WILL TIGHTEN THE THICKNESS
PATTERN AND BRINGING A HIGH PROBABILITY OF ADDITIONAL MCS
DEVELOPMENT OVER SOUTHEAST KS/SRN MO THAT WILL TRACK EAST
SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH LATE WED...ESPECIALLY WED
NITE...AND THEN AGAIN FRIDAY NIGHT. ANY OF THESE MAY BRING
DAMAGING WINDS. TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO HOVER NEAR OR
SLIGHTLY BELOW AVERAGE DEPENDING ON TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF EACH
MCS.
FRESH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING SOUTH INTO THE PLAINS WILL BRING A
POSSIBLE COLD FRONT THROUGH THE MIDSOUTH IN THE SATURDAY TIME
FRAME. SOME STORMS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH IT.
FOR LATE NEXT WEEKEND A NORTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE THE FEED OF
COOLER AND LESS HUMID AIR...ALONG WITH SUNNY SKIES.

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF CYCLE
SEVERE STORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS MOVING ACROSS NORTHEAST
MISSISSIPPI THIS EVENING WILL GET CLOSE AND MAY IMPACT THE TUP TAF
SITE WITH STRONG WINDS AND REDUCED VISBYS/CIGS. A TEMPO FOR STRONG
WINDS AND STORMS HAS BEEN ADDED THROUGH 3Z. ADDITIONAL STORMS HAVE
DEVELOPED IN ADVANCE OF A MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE ACROSS SOUTHERN
MISSOURI. THESE STORMS HAVE ORGANIZED INTO A FORWARD PROPAGATING
MCS WHICH SHOULD ADVANCE SOUTHEASTWARD INTO OUR AREA. SUFFICIENT
THERMODYNAMIC INSTABILITY SHOULD ALLOW THESE STORMS TO MOVE ACROSS
OUR REGION OVERNIGHT...THEREFORE HAVE MAINTAINED A CB GROUPING AT
JBR...MKL...AND MEM. PLAN TO INTRODUCE TEMPO GROUPS AS NEEDED ONCE
THE AREA OF GREATEST CONCENTRATION BECOMES MORE CLEAR. LATEST
MODELS NOT HANDLING THE OVERALL SITUATION VERY WELL.
STORMS SHOULD DIMINISH LATE TONIGHT BUT WITH EXPECTED STRONG
SURFACE HEATING AND NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT ON MONDAY...EXPECT
ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS...WITH EVEN HIGHER
CHANCES MONDAY NIGHT.
