KMEM Day 7 Discussion

I have to give myself a big oops! I woke up this morning and realized that I was supposed to do a discussion for day 7 instead of day 6. Oops! Anyway, on with the discussion.

With cold air advection taking place tonight, both the GFS and NAM models currently forecast lows in the upper 30s. Skies will be clear following the passage of the low, and as a result, both the NAM and GFS currently forecast highs in the mid 60s during the afternoon. Since the low will be past by the time the forecast period for day 7 starts, winds will be much calmer than for day 6. Both GFS and NAM suggest that the maximum wind for the period will be 7-8 kts. The precipitation forecast has been tricky the past couple of days for the Memphis area, but we won't have to worry about that for day 7. Just put in 0 for your precip value. All in all, this will be a much less interesting forecast day than either day 5 or 6.
