.DISCUSSION...
(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 259 AM CDT Mon Apr 14 2025

A cold front will move through the Midsouth this afternoon and
south of the region before midnight. Moisture is a bit of a
limiting factor but a few showers and thunderstorms are possible
along the front, mainly in west Tennessee, near the Tennessee
River and in northeast Mississippi. Strong to severe
thunderstorms are not expected.

A cooler, drier airmass will move into the area tomorrow. High
temperatures Tuesday should be in the 60s for most of the
Midsouth although portions of northeast Mississippi may warm to
near 70 degrees.

High pressure will build in behind tonight`s cold front resulting
in mainly dry conditions Tuesday through at least midday Friday.
Temperatures will trend warmer through the work week with highs in
the low to middle 80s by Friday.

After midweek, a cutoff low over the Intermountain West will move
into the Four Corners Area, then into the Southern Plains over the
Weekend. This will result in southwest flow across the lower and
middle Mississippi River Valley and the subtropical jet will
become more active. Moisture return across the Midsouth should
begin late Wednesday into Thursday so there should be ample
moisture across the region by Friday night as a 80-100kt jet
approaches the middle Mississippi River Valley. A warm front is
expected to lift across the region Friday followed by a cold front
early Saturday. Showers and thunderstorms look likely in the warm
sector Friday night into Saturday.

It`s a bit early to have much confidence in longer term guidance,
but both the GFS and the ECMWF show a neutral to slightly
negatively tilted trough moving into the area late Sunday into
Monday. Expect at least scattered showers and thunderstorms to
continue through the weekend into next week.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 628 AM CDT Mon Apr 14 2025

VFR conditions will remain through the TAF period. Southwest winds
will remain gusty today ahead of a cold front. Winds will shift
more northwest behind this front, around 00Z. The front will also
pose possible SHRA at MEM/MKL, however, confidence was not high
enough to prevail in TAF, therefore VCSH has been opted for. Winds
will be gusty, up to 20 kts, again tomorrow afternoon, behind the
front.
