WX Conf Call notes 4/25/2011

  • Severe thunderstorm risk continuing for at least portions of the region now through Wednesday
  • Heavy rain risk through Wednesday focusing along and north of Highway 82 corridor
  • Torrential rain for the mid-Mississippi valley setting the stage for record flooding in may along lower Mississippi River
  • Generally quiet weather expected for latter half of the week.

There is high confidence that severe weather will develop over the ARKLAMISS tonight well ahead of a cold front in Oklahoma and Arkansas.  The chance for strong tornadoes exists tonight.  This line will sweep through late tonight.  However, storms will begin to re-develop Tuesday.  The cold front to our west will not move quickly, therefore we will still have a chance of severe weather through Wednesday as the front does move to the east.

Instead of an organized squall line, we can expect to see development of supercell storms that present a higher risk of tornado activity.

Significant rainfall over northern Mississippi, added to recent rains, will increase the risk of flash flooding along and north of the Highway 82 corridor.





The following graphics were issued by the Storm Prediction Center, and in order of appearance, represent the forecasts for Tuesday, starting with the overall outlook, the tornado outlook, the wind outlook, and the hail outlook.
