DISCUSSION
(TODAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 151 AM CDT TUE JUL 1 2025
A LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG A WEAK COLD FRONT ARE
CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS WEST TENNESSEE AND NORTH MISSISSIPPI.
RADAR TRENDS HAVE SHOWN SLOW WEAKENING OF STORMS, ALTHOUGH OVER THE
LAST HOUR OR SO, SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS COOLING CLOUD TOPS.
20-30 KT WIND GUSTS, AND BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL CAN BE EXPECTED
THROUGH SUNRISE AS THE FRONT MOVES INTO MIDDLE TENNESSEE AND NORTH
ALABAMA.
THE FRONT WILL BRING TEMPORARY RELIEF FROM THE EXTREME HEAT FOR
THE FIRST FEW DAYS OF JULY. MOST OF THE MIDSOUTH SHOULD ENJOY
SUB-90 DEGREE TEMPERATURES TODAY AND WEDNESDAY. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS MAY REDEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS NORTH
MISSISSIPPI AND WEST TENNESSEE NEAR THE TENNESSEE RIVER, BUT
OVERALL WE SHOULD SEE A DRIER PATTERN ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH
BEGINNING TONIGHT. SHORT TERM GUIDANCE IS IN POOR AGREEMENT AS TO
THE EXTENT OF REDEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON, BUT THE HIGHEST
COVERAGE OF STORMS SHOULD BE OVER NORHEAST MISSISSIPPI.
A TROUGH ORIENTED FROM OHIO INTO SOUTH MISSISSIPPI WILL SHIFT
ALONG THE EAST COAST OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS AS A RIDGE CURRENTLY
OVER THE PLAINS BUILDS EAST OVER THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY.
TEMPERATURES SHOULD TREND A DEGREE OR TWO WARMER TOMORROW THROUGH
INDEPENDENCE DAY, LEVELING OFF IN THE MIDDLE 90S NEXT WEEKEND. AS
TEMPERATURES TREND WARMER, WE WILL LIKELY SEE AN INCREASE IN
DIURNALLY DRIVEN THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK, BUT WIDESPREAD RAINFALL DOES NOT LOOK LIKELY.
AVIATION
(12Z TAFS)
ISSUED AT 614 AM CDT TUE JUL 1 2025
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE CURRENTLY MOVING EAST OF THE
AIRSPACE. THE COLD FRONT THAT BROUGHT THE STORMS HAS
SLOWED/STALLED. AS A RESULT, CLOUD DECKS STILL REMAIN SUPER HIGH
AND MVFR/IFR CIGS CHANCES HAVE DECREASED. MOST LIKELY TIME FRAME
FOR MVFR CONDS WILL BE BETWEEN 12Z-18Z FOR MKL. CONFIDENCE WAS TOO
LOW TO INCLUDE ELSEWHERE. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY VEER THROUGH THE
PERIOD AND BE FROM THE NORTH POST FROPA.
DNM
FIRE WEATHER
ISSUED AT 151 AM CDT TUE JUL 1 2025

AND NORTH MISSISSIPPI THIS AFTERNOON. A MUCH DRIER PATTERN IS
EXPECTED WEDNESDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND. MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY
VALUES WILL REMAIN AT OR ABOVE 45% OVER THE NEXT WEEK.
