The radar

The Nashville radar (KOHX), 46 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 17:52 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.

Did it verify

Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.

Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.

The nearest sounding before it

Nashville Metro, TN (KBNA), launched 12:00Z, 5.8 hours before the alert went out and 40 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at May 21, 10:12 AM CDT, 2 hours 38 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 21, 10:12 AM CDT, 2 hours 38 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
1012 AM CDT TUE MAY 21 2013

.UPDATE...
UPPER LOW SPINNING OVER THE TX PANHANDLE WILL BE THE MAIN WEATHER
MAKER ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CONUS TODAY...INCLUDING MIDDLE TN.
DOWNSTREAM OF THIS UPPER LOW IS A BOUNDARY LIT UP WITH CONVECTION
FROM SRN OK TO WRN TN. THESE CONVECTIVE COMPLEXES WILL CONTINUE TO
PUSH EAST-NORTHEAST BUT THEY SHOULD WEAKEN DUE TO DECENT WARMING
ALOFT ACROSS MIDDLE TN. NOT EXPECTING ANY TYPE OF SEVERE WEATHER
CHANCES UNTIL AT LEAST THIS AFTERNOON.

SPEAKING OF THIS AFTERNOON...PROGGED SOUNDINGS ACROSS SOUTHERN
MIDDLE TN INDICATE QUITE A BIT OF INSTABILITY. HOWEVER...WINDS ARE
STILL VERY WEAK AND WITH A OVERLY-MOIST SOUNDING...ANY STORM THAT
DEVELOPS THIS AFTERNOON WOULD LIKELY BE OF THE PULSE NATURE WITH
TORRENTIAL RAINFALL AND POSSIBLY ISOLATED DAMAGING WINDS. THE
BIGGER SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL COME OVERNIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY
MORNING...WHERE STORMS WILL DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE SRN
PLAINS AND PUSH EAST QUICKLY OVERNIGHT. THE LOW-LEVEL JET WILL
KICK INTO GEAR BETWEEN 6-12Z...AND ANY STORMS NEARING THE TN RIVER
AT THAT TIME WILL PROVIDE THE BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE STORMS...WITH
DAMAGING WINDS BEING THE MAIN THREAT. REALLY THINK THAT HEAVY
RAINFALL AND ISOLATED DAMAGING WINDS ARE OUR BIGGEST CONCERNS
THROUGH 18Z TOMORROW...AND STORMS TOWARDS THE DAWN HOUR COULD
PROVIDE AN ADDED ISOLATED HAIL THREAT AS WELL. AT THIS TIME...THE
TORNADO THREAT SEEMS MINIMAL BUT WE CANNOT RULE IT OUT TOWARDS
MORNING WITH THE STRONGEST SHEAR IN PLACE.

FOR THE SHORT TERM...LOWERED POPS OVER ERN MIDDLE TN AND INCREASED
TEMPS EVERYWHERE...JUST A COUPLE DEGREES OVER THE WEST WHERE
CONVECTION WILL OCCUR MIDDAY-EARLY AFTERNOON. UPDATE ALREADY SENT
TO WEB. ZONE UPDATE COMING SHORTLY.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 321 AM CDT TUE MAY 21 2013/

SHORT TERM...

RADAR IMAGERY THIS MORNING SHOWS AN EXTENSIVE LINE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE GREAT LAKES SOUTHWARD INTO WESTERN
TENNESSEE...WITH ACTIVITY NOW APPROACHING OUR WESTERN CWA BORDER.
ALTHOUGH MCS HAS SHOWN AN OVERALL WEAKENING TREND...SATELLITE
IMAGERY SHOWS NEW UPDRAFTS DEVELOPING ALONG LEADING EDGE OF COLD
POOL WITH CLOUD TOPS COOLING. LATEST SHORT TERM MODEL GUIDANCE
SUCH AS THE 4 KM WRF...HRRR...AND NSSL WRF ALL BRING ACTIVITY INTO
OUR WESTERN ZONES IN A FEW HOURS BEFORE DIMINISHING LATER THIS
MORNING...AND THUS WILL RAISE POPS SUBSTANTIALLY OVER GUIDANCE FOR
THE PRE-FIRST AND FIRST PERIOD OF THE FORECAST. ALSO BUMPED UP
CLOUD COVER AND WENT SIGNIFICANTLY BELOW MOS GUIDANCE HIGHS FOR
TODAY DUE TO ANTICIPATED CLOUDS/PRECIP. NO SEVERE WEATHER IS
EXPECTED WITH THESE STORMS THIS MORNING ALTHOUGH SOME GUSTY WINDS
MAY OCCUR. CHANGES TO THE FORECAST ARE LIKELY DEPENDING ON HOW
CURRENT ACTIVITY EVOLVES.

MODELS INDICATE A SHARP SHORTWAVE TROUGH CURRENTLY SEEN ON WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY OVER NEW MEXICO WILL SWING THROUGH THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS TODAY...THEN ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY AND NORTHWEST PART OF
OUR FORECAST AREA TUESDAY NIGHT. EXPECTING NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP TO OUR WEST ACROSS ARKANSAS TUESDAY
AFTERNOON...THEN SPREAD INTO WESTERN TENNESSEE AND THE NORTHWEST
MID STATE TUESDAY EVENING AND ESPECIALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT TUESDAY
NIGHT. SPC HAS THE NORTHWEST PART OF THE FORECAST AREA IN A SLIGHT
RISK FOR SEVERE STORMS TUESDAY NIGHT...GENERALLY ALONG AND WEST OF
A LINE FROM WAYNESBORO TO SPRINGFIELD. APPEARS BEST CHANCE FOR ANY
SEVERE WEATHER IN OUR CWA WILL BE IN THE 03Z-12Z TIMEFRAME AS
SHORTWAVE TROUGH AXIS MOVES ACROSS...BUT NOCTURNAL TIMING MAY
REDUCE THE SEVERE POTENTIAL. FORECAST SOUNDINGS DO SHOW
SUBSTANTIAL MLCAPE AND MODERATE DEEP LAYER SHEAR TUESDAY
NIGHT...WHICH SUGGESTS POTENTIAL FOR A LOWER END THREAT OF SOME
DAMAGING WINDS OR LARGE HAIL. HOWEVER...ANY TORNADO THREAT
APPEARS VERY LOW IN OUR FORECAST AREA. MUCH BETTER CHANCES FOR
SEVERE STORMS WILL EXIST TO OUR WEST ACROSS ARKANSAS TUESDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING. NOTE THAT MUCH OF THE CWA EAST OF I-65 WILL
REMAIN DRY DURING THIS TIME PERIOD.

AS SHORTWAVE EXITS THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY...A COLD FRONT WILL
PUSH EASTWARD ACROSS THE MID STATE WITH ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND
STORMS ANTICIPATED THROUGH THE DAY. ACTIVITY WILL END FROM WEST TO
EAST WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS MUCH COOLER AND DRIER AIR FILTERS IN.
BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE THEN ANTICIPATED OVER THE WEEKEND
AS NORTHWEST FLOW BUILDS IN ALOFT...WITH LOWS IN THE 40S/50S AND
HIGHS IN THE 70S. MID STATE LOOKS TO STAY IN A NORTHWEST FLOW
PATTERN THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD WITH A
GRADUAL WARMING TREND...BUT MAJOR DIFFERENCES EXIST BETWEEN THE
GFS/ECMWF NEXT WEEK REGARDING PRECIP CHANCES WITH GFS COMPLETELY
DRY BUT ECMWF SHOWING DAILY POPS. HAVE TRENDED TOWARDS THE GFS
FOR NOW BUT NOTE THAT EXTENDED FORECAST IS LOW CONFIDENCE.
