AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
408 AM CDT FRI AUG 5 2005

.DISCUSSION...SURFACE MAP AT 08Z SHOWS STRONG HIGH PRESSURE SITUATED
FAR TO OUR NORTHWEST, WITH MIDDLE TENNESSEE SITUATED MORE OR LESS IN
A COL AREA, WITH LIGHT NORTH WINDS. A WEAK FRONT SITS JUST NORTH OF
THE OHIO VALLEY.

MODELS CONTINUE TO BRING THIS FRONT SOUTHWARD, AND IN THE ABSENCE OF
A STRONG BERMUDA HIGH, BELIEVE THIS IS CERTAINLY PLAUSIBLE. ALTHOUGH
WE WILL LIKELY NOT EXPERIENCE AN ACTUAL FRONTAL PASSAGE, THE FRONTS
PROJECTED MOVEMENT WILL INCREASE MOISTURE OVER MIDDLE TENNESSEE,
BRINGING BACK THE DAILY GRIND OF ISOLATED-TO-SCATTERED CONVECTION,
MAINLY DURING PEAK-HEATING AND EARLY EVENING HOURS.

AT THE SAME TIME, THE GFS/ETA/NGM ALL DEVELOP A LOW CENTER OVER THE
GULF COAST BY THIS EVENING THAT WILL INCH ITS WAY NORTHWARD DURING
SUBSEQUENT DAYS. THUS, ALTHOUGH THE AFOREMENTIONED SURFACE FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO DISSIPATE BY SUNDAY, LOOK FOR DEEPER MOISTURE TO CONTINUE
TO FEED INTO THE MID STATE. LACK OF A CONSISTENT SOUTHERLY FLOW FROM
THE GULF, ALONG WITH A FEW MORE CLOUDS, WILL DROP OUR TEMPERATURES A
COUPLE OF DEGREES AFTER TODAY, BUT LOOK FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF
CONVECTION THROUGHOUT THE 7-DAY FORECAST PERIOD, NONETHELESS. &&
