NWS Forecaster Discussion
669 fxus64 kmeg 212022 afdmeg Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Memphis Tennessee 322 PM CDT Thursday Aug 21 2008 Discussion...water vapor satellite trends along with upper air profilers continue to indicate an upper level trough located across the central and Southern Plains with several shortwaves embedded within the trough axis. Meanwhile...Tropical Storm Fay was located near Jacksonville Florida. Temperatures have warmed into the 80s across the middle south allowing showers and thunderstorms to develop across the lower Mississippi Valley. Main challenge in this forecast package is rain potential associated with the upper level trough in the short term...and any potential rain chances associated with Tropical Storm Fay in the long term. Short term...(tonight through Sunday night)...showers and thunderstorms will continue into tonight across the middle south as a middle level shortwave rotates through the base of the upper level trough. At this time expecting overall coverage to gradually decrease in coverage later tonight with the loss of daytime heating. Kept chance probability of precipitation going on Friday through Sunday as upper level trough slowly departs the lower Mississippi Valley towards the end of the period. Long term...(monday through thursday)...latest long range models (gfs/ecmwf) indicate Tropical Storm Fay will begin to affect portions of the middle south by the start of the period as it moves along the Florida Panhandle and moves northwest into central Mississippi Tuesday before being absorbed by an upper level trough toward the end of the period. Made adjustments to probability of precipitation from previous forecast package based on latest trends. Low end probability of precipitation at this time may need to be adjusted upward accordingly if the latest model trends continue. && Meg watches/warnings/advisories... Arkansas...none. MO...none.
