AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
338 AM CDT TUE JUN 2 2009

.SHORT TERM...IT WAS PARTLY CLOUDY AND MILD ACROSS THE MID STATE
EARLY THIS MORNING, WITH TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM THE MID 60S TO
AROUND 70.

FORECAST FOR TODAY IS PARTIALLY HINGED TO POTENTIAL FOR SOUTHEASTWARD
-PROPAGATING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM CONVECTION TO OUR NORTH. AN
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY LAID DOWN BY AN MCS CROSSING THE OHIO VALLEY ON
MONDAY PRODUCED ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE MONDAY
AFTERNOON. BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS, STRETCHING ACROSS THE MIDWEST
AND OHIO VALLEY TODAY, WILL LEAVE US VULNERABLE ONCE AGAIN TO
OUTFLOW INTRUSIONS. INDEED, EARLY THIS MORNING, WE CAN SEE ANOTHER
OUTFLOW PUSHING RAPIDLY SOUTHEASTWARD INTO SOUTHEASTERN MISSOURI.
IN ADDITION, MODELS SHOW AN INCREASE IN MOISTURE IN THE 850-700MB
LAYER ACROSS MIDDLE TN TODAY, WHICH WILL INCREASE POSSIBILITY FOR
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IN THE 90+ DEG AFTERNOON HEAT.
BELIEVE THE CHANCE FOR ANY PARTICULAR SPOT TO GET A THUNDERSTORM
IS STILL QUITE SMALL, BUT THOSE THAT GET THEM COULD SEE SOME GUSTY
WINDS, DOWNPOURS AND HAIL (SIMILAR TO WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY).

COLD FRONT STILL EXPECTED TO PUSH SOUTHWARD INTO OUR AREA BY LATE IN
THE DAY WEDNESDAY, THEN MOVE ONLY SLOWLY SOUTHWARD THROUGH THURSDAY,
AS A LOW PRESSURE AREA DEVELOPS ALONG FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER EASTERN
ARKANSAS AND TRACKS EASTWARD. ISOLATED ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS
POSSIBLE NORTH OF SURFACE BOUNDARY ON THURSDAY. HOWEVER, RAIN SHOULD
FINALLY START TO TAPER OFF FROM THE WEST THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY,
WITH THUNDERSTORMS LINGERING LONGEST OVER OUR MOST SOUTHEASTERN
COUNTIES.

A HEAVY RAIN EVENT IS LIKELY DURING THE WED-FRI PERIOD, WITH MOST
AREAS EXPECTED TO RECEIVE STORM TOTALS OF AROUND 2 INCHES...AND
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. ISOLATED FLOOD PROBLEMS COULD
DEVELOP DURING THE PERIOD.

.LONG TERM...LOOKS LIKE WE COULD SQUEEZE OUT A MOSTLY DRY WEEKEND
SIMILAR TO LAST WEEKEND, AS A WEAK AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE CROSSES
OUR AREA. HOWEVER, ANOTHER COLD FRONT DROPS INTO THE REGION EARLY
NEXT WEEK AND LEADS TO AN INCREASED CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS BY
TUESDAY.
