Discussion...A large line of thunderstorms (QLCS) extends from the Lower Great Lakes and OH Valley to the Ark-La-Tex, and the segment of the line across West/Middle TN into north MS continues to stall with favorable conditions for backbuilding in the near term. Ongoing deep convection continues to produce rainfall rates of up to 1-2"/hr with ample upper-level divergence in the vicinity of the right-entrance region of a large upper-level jet streak. The mesoscale environment from north MS to West/Middle TN is characterized by SB CAPE of 750-1500 J/kg, precipitable water values of 1.3-1.7 inches (near the max moving average, per BNA sounding climatology), and effective bulk shear of 55-65 kts. With the stalling of the QLCS in this extraordinary environment, given a 40-50 kt low-level jet ushering in continued strong moisture transport and resulting deep layer moisture flux convergence, renewed convection with heavy rainfall is expected. Looking at a consensus of the latest hi-res models, an additional 2-5" of rainfall appears likely across portions of north MS into West/Middle TN. While the bulk of this rainfall is expected over areas that have received little to no rainfall so far, some portions of West TN have already received some heavy rainfall (up to 1-3"). Given the current presentation of radar (with impress discrete cell signatures reforming in the MS Delta), models may be underestimating the intensity and persistence of cells which may backbuild farther north into northeast AR and far West TN. Continued scattered to numerous areas of flash flooding are likely, and some flooding may become significant in urban areas where cells effectively backbuild.
