What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood 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 river flood warning went out at May 3, 2:30 PM CDT, 4 hours 54 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 3, 2:30 PM CDT, 4 hours 54 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
230 PM CDT SUN MAY 3 2009

.DISCUSSION...FLOODING POTENTIAL CONTINUES FOR MAINLY SOUTHERN
MIDDLE TENNESSEE THROUGH THIS EVENING. THE THREAT IS NOT AS GREAT
AS EARLIER EXPECTED...BUT ANOTHER INCH OR 2 OF RAIN COULD FALL
OVER ALREADY SATURATED AREAS IN THE SOUTH. 1-2 INCHES IS ALSO
EXPECTED ALONG THE PLATEAU. NORTHERN SECTIONS INCLUDING NASHVILLE
SHOULD RECEIVE LESS THAN AN INCH OF RAIN...SO THE FLOODING
POTENTIAL APPEARS SMALL IN THE NORTH.

A NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST SURFACE BOUNDARY CONTINUED TO LIE ACROSS
MID TN THIS AFTERNOON. IT HAS BEEN A FOCAL POINT FOR SHOWERS AND
STORMS...BUT NOTHING HEAVY TODAY. PART OF THE REASON FOR LESS
RAIN THAN EXPECTED IS THE WIDESPREAD CONVECTION OVER AR/LA/MS/AL
WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN AND SEVERE WX HAS OCCURRED THERE. THE
ASSOCIATED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE NORTHEAST TONIGHT HELPING
LIFT SOME OF THE DEEP MOISTURE AND RAINFALL INTO THE MID
STATE...ESPECIALLY INTO THE SOUTHERN AND PLATEAU AREAS. THE LOW
WILL MOVE TO OUR NORTHEAST LATE TONIGHT...WITH THE HEAVY RAIN
TAPERING OFF.

ON MONDAY..CLOUDS WILL LINGER...AND PERHAPS SOME SHOWERS THROUGH
MIDDAY. DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
WITH SOME SUNSHINE BREAKING THROUGH ON TUESDAY.

A COUPLE OF SYSTEMS IN WEST NORTHWEST FLOW WILL COME ACROSS THE
REGION WITH CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE FIRST WILL
BE WEDNESDAY...ALTHOUGH MODELS DIFFER ON PRECISE TIMING. THE NEXT
WILL ARRIVE AROUND FRIDAY. BOTH OF THESE SYSTEMS WILL BE QUICKER
MOVING THAN OUR CURRENT PATTERN...SO ADDITIONAL FLOODING IS NOT
EXPECTED. BETWEEN THESE SYSTEMS...A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS WILL
BE OVER THE AREA WITH AT LEAST SOME POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED SHOWERS
OR STORMS. IT APPEARS DRIER WX IS AHEAD FOR NEXT WEEKEND...ALTHOUGH
MODELS DIFFER AND CONFIDENCE IS LOW.
