What happened

The episode as NWS MEG wrote it up.

A warm front pushed north across the region and eventually stalled across northern sections of the Mid-South by the late afternoon on June 3, 2012. An upper level disturbance moving through triggered numerous showers and thunderstorms along the warm front and eventually formed a mesoscale convective system that pushed through during the evening hours of June 3, 2012. There were reports of damaging winds, large hail and a few occurrences of flash flooding. After midnight additional showers and thunderstorms redeveloped along the stalled front producing a few more reports of damaging winds and large hail during the early morning hours of June 4, 2012.

What forecasters said that day

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.

.DISCUSSION...

UPDATED FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 348 PM CDT SUN JUN 3 2012/

DISCUSSION...FORECAST FOCUS ON CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL THROUGH
TUESDAY.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.

CONVECTIVE TRENDS ARE BEING CLOSELY MONITORED THIS AFTERNOON FOR
POSSIBLE RAPID REDEVELOPMENT OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHERN
ARKANSAS. MCV INDUCED OUTFLOWS AND THE SYNOPTIC WARM FRONT HAVE
LED TO STRONG DIFFERENTIAL HEATING OVER THIS REGION WITH MID 90S
ACROSS MUCH OF ARKANSAS BENEATH VERY STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES
ASSOCIATED WITH EML. ALTHOUGH CAPPED...THIS HAS LED TO EXTREMELY
UNSTABLE CONDITIONS TO THE SOUTH OF THE FRONT WITH MLCAPE VALUES
IN EXCESS OF 3500-4000 J/KG AND SBLI VALUES OF -10C. WITH BACKED
FLOW NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY...THE MAGNITUDE OF SHEAR IS GREATER
NORTH BUT INSTABILITY IS CONSIDERABLY LOWER. APPEARS THE BEST
CHANCE FOR STORMS WILL BE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY WHERE INSTABILITY
/UNCAPPED/ AND SHEAR ARE BEST JUXTAPOSED ACROSS NORTHERN
ARKANSAS...WITH THE THREAT FOR VERY LARGE HAIL INITIALLY...
THEN BECOMING A DAMAGING WIND THREAT WITH TIME AS STORMS CONGEAL
INTO A FORWARD PROPAGATING MCS. THIS MCS WOULD THEN RAKE ACROSS
THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE MIDSOUTH - NAMELY SERN
MO/NERN AR/WRN TN/FAR NRN MS LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT.
RAISED POPS IN THESE AREAS TO 70 PCT.

THE MCS MAY STILL BE ONGOING MONDAY MORNING ACROSS THE EASTERN
AREAS. REMAINING UNCERTAINTY ABOUT TONIGHT/S CONVECTIVE EVOLUTION
AMPLIFIES THE UNCERTAINTY FOR MONDAY. ATTM IT LOOKS LIKE RETURN
FLOW BEHIND THE MORNING MCS SHOULD ALLOW THE ATMOSPHERE TO RECOVER
QUICKLY...WITH STRONG HEATING EXPECTED AND TEMPERATURES RISING
BACK INTO THE 90S. ADDITIONAL SCATTERED DEVELOPMENT IS PROBABLE
THROUGH THE DAY ALONG ANY BOUNDARIES LEFT OVER FROM TONIGHT AND
NEAR THE SYNOPTIC FRONT IN THE PRESENCE OF 3000+ J/KG CAPE. WIND
SHEAR AGAIN IS RATHER WEAK SO MULTICELLULAR CLUSTERS CAPABLE OF
WIND DAMAGE APPEARS TO BE THE MAIN THREAT.

A TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO DIG DOWN THE EAST COAST...FORCING THE
SYNOPTIC FRONT FURTHER SOUTH FOR MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY.
THUS...CONTINUED TO TAPER OFF POPS FROM NORTH TO SOUTH DURING THIS
TIME.

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.

MODELS REMAIN AT ODDS WITH HOW FAR SOUTH TO TAKE THE FRONT THROUGH
EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE ECMWF IS THE ONLY REMAINING MODEL TO KEEP
MENTIONABLE POPS ACROSS NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI DURING THIS TIME WITH
THE NAM/DGEX/GFS/GEM ALL INDICATING A DRIER NORTHEAST FLOW. SEEMS
THE CONSENSUS WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES WAS TO REMOVE POPS FOR MUCH
OF THE LONG TERM BUT WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE THE ECMWF PAN
OUT...ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE TIME OF YEAR.

A LARGE RIDGE LOOKS TO BUILD OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. FOR LATE WEEK
AND NEXT WEEKEND. THIS WILL BRING INCREASING TEMPERATURES THROUGH
AT LEAST SATURDAY...HOWEVER BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW INCREASING
TROPICAL MOISTURE BY NEXT SUNDAY WITH LOWER 925 MB TEMPS ADVECTING
WITH IT NORTHWARD INTO MISSISSIPPI. INTRODUCED A SLIGHT CHANCE FOR
STORMS OVER NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI SUNDAY.

.AVIATION...

00Z TAF CYCLE

NUMEROUS TSRAS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS NEAR A
WARM FRONT STRETCHED ACROSS NORTHERN ARKANSAS. EXPECT THESE STORMS
TO CONGEAL INTO AN MCS THAT WILL TRACK ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH THIS
EVENING. ADDED TEMPOS FOR TSRAS AT ALL TAF SITES THIS EVENING. THE
QUESTION THEN BECOMES WHAT HAPPENS LATER TONIGHT. RAPID UPDATE
MODELS STILL SHOW REDEVELOPMENT STARTING AFT 04/08Z ACROSS THE
MIDSOUTH DESPITE THE MCS MOVING THROUGH THIS EVENING. FOR NOW KEPT
THE TEMPOS IN PLACE AT ALL SITES FOR LATER TONIGHT. ATTM NOT
CONFIDENT IN TSRA CHANCES OR TIMING DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY SO
LEFT OUT MENTION FOR NOW THOUGH THIS WILL BE REVISITED. EXPECT
GENERALLY VFR CONDS THROUGH THE PERIOD OUTSIDE OF TSRAS. LIGHT
SOUTH OR VARIABLE WINDS OUTSIDE OF TSRAS OVERNIGHT BECOMING WSW AT
8-10 KTS AFT 04/13Z.
