AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
1033 AM CDT FRI JUN 23 2006

.DISCUSSION...ALL OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE REMAINS UNDER A SLIGHT RISK OF
SEVERE WEATHER TODAY. THE SURFACE MAP AT 15Z SHOWS A COLD FRONT
STRETCHED ALONG THE OHIO VALLEY WITH, OF COURSE, THE MID STATE RIGHT
IN THE MIDDLE OF A RIPE, UNSTABLE MARITIME TROPICAL AIR MASS.

THE MORNING SOUNDING FROM OHX, MODIFIED FOR A MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE OF
91 DEGREES, SHOWS A LIFTED INDEX OF -7, WITH A POSITIVE AREA OF
2,652 J/KG, AND A K-INDEX OF 38. PRECIPITABLE WATER IS A RESPECTABLE
1.66 INCHES. THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO LOW-LEVEL WIND SHEAR, WHICH ISNT
SURPRISING IN THE SUMMER, MEANING THAT THE SEVERE THREAT IS
RESTRICTED TO LARGE HAIL AND SEVERE STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS.

WILL LEAVE THE PUBLIC FORECAST ALONE FOR NOW, AS THE PREVIOUS SHIFT
HAD A PRETTY GOOD HANDLE ON TODAYS SITUATION.
