What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Nashville, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 2, 3:02 PM CDT, 4 hours 32 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 2, 3:02 PM CDT, 4 hours 32 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN 302 PM CDT WED JUN 2 2004 .DISCUSSION...AT 19Z, A SURFACE BOUNDARY STRETCHED ACROSS NORTHERN AND WESTERN KENTUCKY, WITH SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER DEW POINTS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE FRONT. LOOK FOR THE FRONT TO DROP THROUGH THE MID STATE OVERNIGHT, GIVING OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES A GREATER SHOT AT OVERNIGHT THUNDERSTORMS THAN THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED MOST OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE UNDER A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH 12Z TOMORROW. BUT GIVEN THE CURRENT PROXIMITY OF THE FRONT, AND ITS PREDICTED MOVEMENT OVERNIGHT, STILL BELIEVE THE FOCUS WILL BE ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES. BY TOMORROW, THE BULK OF THE MOISTURE WILL HAVE SHIFTED TO OUR SOUTH, BRINGING SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES WHILE VIRTUALLY ELIMINATING ANY CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION FOR TOMORROW AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY. AFTER A FEW PLEASANT DAYS UNDER HIGH PRESSURE AND MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES, THE NEXT FRONT WILL PULL CLOSE TO THE OHIO VALLEY BY SUNDAY EVENING. A CENTER OF LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP OVER CENTRAL ILLINOIS BY 06Z MONDAY, AND WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT NEAR THE MID STATE, IF NOT THROUGH IT ALTOGETHER. AT ANY RATE, THIS WILL BE OUR NEXT RAIN-PRODUCER. && .BNA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && ROSE
