AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
120 PM CDT SUN JUN 4 2006

.DISCUSSION...
WATER VAPOR AND 12Z UPPER AIR ANALYSIS PLACE A SHORTWAVE TROUGH ACROSS
CENTRAL ILLINOIS WITH TWO DISTINCT AREAS OF CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY...ONE
AREA ACROSS MIDDLE AND EASTERN TENNESSEE AND THE REMNANTS OF A
DECAYING MCS CENTERED IN THE OZARKS.

SURFACE LIS ARE APPROACHING -6 ACROSS SOUTHERN MIDDLE TN AT EARLY
AFTERNOON. WITH THIS MUCH INSTABILITY AND APPROACHING SHORT WAVE
EXPECT SHOWERS/TSTMS TO FIRE UP AS WE GO THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
HAIL WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT.

MODELS HAVE GOOD HANDLE ON FIRST SHORT WAVE DIVING THROUGH THE AREA
THIS AFTERNOON AND THE SECOND SHORT WAVE THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH
DURING THE EVENING. MAY NOT SEE MUCH FROM SECOND SHORT WAVE AS
MOISTURE WILL BE LACKING ALONG WITH INSOLATION.

GOOD NORTHERLY FLOW INTO AREA ON MONDAY AS AIR MASS DRIES OUT WITH
MEAN RH < 40 PERCENT 1000 TO 500 MB. ANOTHER SHORT WAVE DIVES INTO
THE AREA DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY WITH UPPER TROUGH FINALLY
REACHING EAST COAST ON WEDNESDAY AS UPPER RIDGE BEGINS TO BUILD
EASTWARD.

LOOKS LIKE MUCH WARMER TEMPS BY FRIDAY AND OVER NEXT WEEKEND AS UPPER
RIDGE SPRAWLS EASTWARD AND SUBSIDENCE UNDERNEATH RIDGE WORKS THIS
WAY.
