AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
352 PM CDT FRI MAY 13 2011

.SHORT TERM...AS A WEAKENING AREA OF SHOWERS WAS EXITING THE
CUMBERLAND PLATEAU THIS AFTERNOON, ANOTHER BATCH OF THUNDERSTORMS
WAS DEVELOPING JUST TO OUR WEST. THESE STORMS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM, WHICH IS FORECAST TO PUSH FROM
THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO NEAR NORTHWESTERN MIDDLE
TENNESSEE BY 12Z/SAT.

A FEW STORMS TONIGHT COULD BECOME SEVERE TONIGHT, ESPECIALLY OVER
WESTERN AREAS THIS EVENING. SPC HAS WESTERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE UNDER
A SLIGHT RISK AREA THROUGH TONIGHT.

CLOSED UPPER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TAKES ITS MERRY SWEET TIME
PULLING EASTWARD, AND IT STILL LOOKS LIKE A VERY COOL AND RAINY
PERIOD THROUGH MONDAY, WITH HIGHS MAINLY IN THE 60S AND LOWS
DIPPING INTO THE 40S.

.LONG TERM...THE CLOUDS AND RAIN FINALLY START TO PUSH OUT OF THE AREA
BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK, AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SQUEEZE OUT ANOTHER
COUPLE DRY DAYS BY LATE NEXT WEEK, WITH MODERATING TEMPERATURES
AND A RETURN TO SOUTHERLY FLOW.
