The episode as NWS MEG wrote it up.
A large scale upper trough sat up over the Upper and Lower Mississippi River Valleys on July 22nd-July 23rd, 2013. Several upper level disturbances rotated around the base of the upper trough. The disturbances set off mesoscale convective complexes during the overnight hours which pushed south during the daytime. The convection would die out during the afternoon hours. This happened on the 22nd and again on the 23rd. The thunderstorms produced damaging winds and very heavy rain which caused flash flooding.
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 Jul 22, 8:40 AM CST, 1 hour 57 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN 940 AM CDT MON JUL 22 2013 .DISCUSSION... A SHORT WAVE IS PUSHING INTO NORTH CENTRAL ARKANSAS ATTM. THIS FEATURE HELPED TO KICK OFF THE MCS THAT IS NOW MOVING THROUGH THE MEMPHIS METRO AREA WITH HEAVY RAIN...FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND GUSTY WINDS. THE MCS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH SE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. LOOKS LIKE THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIP THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON WILL BE ACROSS NE MS AS NORTHERN AREAS WILL HAVE BEEN FAIRLY WORKED OVER FROM THIS MORNINGS ACTIVITY. UPDATE OUT. SJM && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 453 AM CDT MON JUL 22 2013/ AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE EMBEDDED IN A BROAD AND UNSEASONABLY DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WAS PUSHING INTO THE MIDSOUTH THIS MORNING INTERACTING WITH A MOIST AND UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. NUMEROUS AREAS OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED OVERNIGHT FROM NORTHWEST TN INTO NORTHERN AR AND SOUTHERN MO. THE THUNDERSTORMS WERE TRACKING EAST SOUTHEAST AND TRAINING ACROSS SOME LOCATIONS LEADING TO HEAVY RAINFALL. A REPORT WAS RECEIVED FROM A STORM SPOTTER THAT 3 1/2 INCHES OF RAIN OCCURRED IN BIGGERS AR IN RANDOLPH COUNTY LEADING TO FLOODING. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE REPORT WITH DUAL POL PRECIP ESTIMATES FROM THE 88D RADAR INDICATING ABOUT 4 1/2 INCHES OF RAIN IN THAT AREA. A BROAD AND UNSEASONABLY DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL SET UP OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES THE NEXT FEW DAYS. EMBEDDED SHORT WAVES IN WEST NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL AFFECT THE MIDSOUTH AS THEY ENCOUNTER THE MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION. IN ADDITION...A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH INTO THE AREA WEDNESDAY. TRYING TO PINPOINT THE TIMING OF THE SHORT WAVES AND THE COLD FRONT MAKES THIS A DIFFICULT FORECAST...BUT IT DOES LOOK WET..AND VERY WET IN SOME SPOTS...ALONG WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. AN UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE WILL SWING THROUGH THE MIDSOUTH TODAY CAUSING SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. A FEW STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE WITH WIND GUSTS TO NEAR 50 MPH...SMALL HAIL...AND HEAVY RAINFALL THAT MAY CAUSE LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING. WILL NEED TO MONITOR FOR A FLASH FLOOD WATCH OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...BUT WILL HOLD OFF FOR NOW SINCE STILL UNCERTAINTY HOW THE SITUATION WILL EVOLVE. ALSO...FLASH FLOOD VALUES ARE FAIRLY HIGH WITH THE RECENT DRY WEATHER...AND FOR TODAY CANNOT PINPOINT A PARTICULAR AREA WHERE WIDESPREAD FLASH FLOODING IS EXPECTED. DID MENTION HEAVY RAINFALL IN THE ZONES AND GRIDS FOR THIS MORNING ACROSS PORTIONS OF WEST TN...THE MO BOOTHEEL...AND A PORTION OF NORTHEAST AR. THE SHORT WAVE IS FORECAST TO PUSH TO THE SOUTHEAST BY TONIGHT LEADING TO A TEMPORARY DECREASE IN THE CONVECTION. THE GFS INDICATES THAT A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM MAY APPROACH THE MIDSOUTH LATE TONIGHT FROM THE NORTHWEST AND MOVE INTO THE AREA TUESDAY. THE ECMWF DOES NOT SHOW THIS FEATURE. FOR NOW...KEPT POPS AT 50 PERCENT FOR TUESDAY...BUT IF THE GFS IS CORRECT...POPS WILL NEED TO BE RAISED FOR MUCH OF THE AREA. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE FORECAST TO DECREASE LEADING TO GREATER INSTABILITY. THUS MAY SEE A BETTER CHANCE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL BEING THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREAT. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL ALSO BE A PRIMARY THREAT AS PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES CONTINUE NEAR 2 INCHES. WEDNESDAY LOOKS TO BE A VERY WET DAY WITH A COLD FRONT PUSHING INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTH WHILE UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVES AFFECT THE AREA IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. HEAVY RAINFALL ALONG WITH THE THREAT OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE. THE ECMWF IS SLOWER IN THE MOVEMENT OF THE COLD FRONT THAN THE GFS WITH THE NAM BEING A NICE COMPROMISE. DRY WEATHER IS FORECAST TO RETURN THURSDAY AS THE COLD FRONT PUSHES TO OUR SOUTH. TEMPERATURES WILL BE A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. FOR THE LATTER PART OF THE FORECAST...GENERALLY COMPROMISED BETWEEN THE GFS AND ECMWF LEANING A LITTLE MORE TOWARD THE ECMWF. ANOTHER UNSEASONABLY DEEP TROUGH AND AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO SWING THROUGH THE MIDSOUTH SATURDAY WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. POPS WILL NEED TO RAISED IN LATER FORECASTS AS THE TIMING BECOMES MORE CERTAIN. COOLER AND DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED SUNDAY. JCL .AVIATION... 12Z TAFS TSRA COMPLEX EAST OF JBR AND 50N OF MEM WAS MOVING SOUTHEAST AROUND 35 KTS... BUT HAD TAKEN ON A BIT OF A SOUTHWARD PROPAGATION SINCE 11Z.
