Area forecast discussion, Apr 25, 3:43 PM CDT, 5 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
343 PM CDT MON APR 25 2011

.SHORT TERM...THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT OCCURRED OVER WESTERN
PARTS OF THE MID STATE EARLY TODAY FIZZLED OUT AS THEY MOVED
EASTWARD. HOWEVER, ANOTHER CLUSTER OF STORMS DEVELOPED OVER WESTERN
TENNESSEE EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND STARTED PUSHING INTO
NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES BY 330 PM. SPC HAS ISSUED A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR A LARGE PART OF THE MID STATE, THAT RUNS
UNTIL 8 PM CDT, INCLUDING THE NASHVILLE METRO AREA. THESE SHOWERS AND
STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS AN AREA THAT RECEIVED BETWEEN 1
AND 2 INCHES OF RAIN YESTERDAY...AND SIMILAR AMOUNTS COULD OCCUR
THIS AFTERNOON.

ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL PUSH ACROSS THE MID STATE
LATE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY BRINGING ALONG MORE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS.

HAVE ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR A PRETTY GOOD-SIZED PORTION OF
NORTHERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY
EVENING. THIS IS THE SAME AREA THAT RECEIVED THE LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINS ON SUNDAY...AND ANY ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL WILL PRODUCE
INCREASED RUN OFF AND THE POSSIBILITY FOR FLASH FLOODING.

EXPECT MORE THUNDERSTORMS TO ERUPT OVER WESTERN TENNESSEE TUESDAY
AFTERNOON AND PUSH INTO WESTERN PARTS OF OUR FORECAST AREA BY
SUNSET TOMORROW. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT, WITH A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER
OUTBREAK...INCLUDING TORNADOES...STILL EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY, AS A
STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE AREA MOVES NORTHEASTWARD FROM NORTHERN
ARKANSAS INTO EAST-CENTRAL INDIANA BY 0OZ, THU. SPC HAS PLACED
MUCH OF THE MID STATE UNDER A MODERATE RISK FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS FOR WEDNESDAY.

STILL LOOKS LIKE A SIGNIFICANT RAIN EVENT COMING UP OVER THE NEXT
THREE DAYS, WITH RAINFALL TOTALS RANGING FROM 2 TO 3 INCHES OVER
EASTERN AREAS TO BETWEEN 5 AND 7 INCHES ACROSS THE NORTHWEST.
EXPECT LOCALIZED FLOODING TO BECOME LIKELY BY WEDNESDAY OVER MUCH
OF THE MID STATE, AS REPEATED ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS MOVE
THROUGH.

.LONG TERM...MOSTLY DRY WEATHER IS FORECAST FOR THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY, AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY.
ANOTHER COLD FRONT, WITH THUNDERSTORMS AND HEAVY RAIN, IS EXPECTED
BY SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY.
