MESOSCALE UPDATE...PER COORDINATION WITH SPC...MID TN WILL STAY
OUT OF ANY WATCHES FOR NOW. A TORNADO WATCH REMAINS TO OUR
SOUTHWEST...WITH A NEW SEVERE WATCH TO OUR SOUTH.

EVEN THOUGH THE COVERAGE OF SEVERE STORMS IS NOT EXPECTED TO MEET
WATCH CRITERIA...WE STILL ANTICIPATE A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS
GETTING INTO OUR WEST AND FAR SOUTH COUNTIES WITHIN THE NEXT FEW
HOURS. ACTIVITY HAS BEEN INCREASING IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OVER
WEST TN...WITH HIGHER DEW POINTS AND CAPES MOVING IN FROM THE SSW.
ALSO...ANY STORMS RIDING ALONG THE WARM FRONT WHICH IS DRAPED
ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN TIER MAY FLARE UP QUICKLY WITH ENHANCED
UPDRAFTS AND LOCALLY ENHANCED STORM RELATIVE HELICITY.

THE MAIN WINDOW FOR ANY STRONG TO SEVER APPEARS TO BE THIS
EVENING. FOR THE LATE NIGHT HOURS...THE SEVERE THREAT WILL
DIMINISH...BUT THE COVERAGE OF RAIN AND STORMS WILL INCREASE
WITH A THREAT FOR LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 326 PM CDT SAT APR 27 2013/

UPDATE...
MADE A QUICK DECISION TO ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR ALL OF
MIDDLE TENNESSEE FOR TONIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY. CONCERNED WITH LOW
CENTER MOVING EAST WHILE WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTHWARD AND BECOMES
ORIENTED WEST TO EAST ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE THIS EVENING.
ALSO...TRAINING OF ECHOES IS OF CONCERN ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT
HAVE RECEIVED THE HEAVIER RAINFALL TODAY.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 101 PM CDT SAT APR 27 2013/

DISCUSSION...
COULD BE A STORMY NIGHT IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE WITH A FEW SEVERE POSSIBLE...

SURFACE LOW CENTERED OVER WESTERN ARKANSAS AT EARLY AFTERNOON
FORECAST TO MOVE ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER NEAR MEMPHIS BY 23Z
AS DEEPENING UPPER TROUGH SWINGS INTO NORTH CENTRAL MISSOURI AT
THAT TIME. WARM FRONT STRETCHES EAST FROM LOW CENTER INTO NORTHERN
MISSISSIPPI TO JUST SOUTH OF MEMPHIS...AND WILL LIFT NORTHWARD
INTO MIDDLE TENNESSEE THIS EVENING. WE ARE CURRENTLY SEEING SOME
SCATTERED CONVECTION BEGINNING TO FIRE DOWN THROUGH NORTH
MISSISSIPPI AT THIS TIME GENERALLY IN A SUNLIT AREA WITH 70 DEGREE
TEMPS AND 60 DEGREE DEWPOINTS. AM EXPECTING AIR MASS TO
DESTABILIZE AS WE GO THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE
EVENING BASICALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF WARM FRONT WITH SCATTERED
SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS REDEVELOPING OVER WESTERN AREAS
AND BECOME MORE NUMEROUS AS THEY MOVE EASTWARD DURING THE LATE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. AFTER 00Z WE MAY EVEN SEE A LINE OF STRONG
TO SEVERE STORMS DEVELOP IN WESTERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE AND EXTEND
DOWN THROUGH THE MEMPHIS AREA AND MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS MIDDLE
TENNESSEE DURING THE MID EVENING HOURS. THIS SYSTEM IS NOT IN ANY
HURRY TO EXIT SO EXPECT SHOWERS AND STORMS EVEN AFTER
MIDNIGHT...ESPECIALLY EASTERN AREAS AND PLATEAU WITH SHOWERS
CONTINUING SUNDAY ESPECIALLY EASTERN AREAS. RAIN FINALLY EXITS
EARLY SUNDAY EVENING BUT THERE IS A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS ALONG THE
PLATEAU ON MONDAY.

WENT PRETTY MUCH WITH THE WEATHER PREDICTION CENTERS GUIDANCE IN
THE LONGER TERM AS MODELS CANT SEEM TO FIGURE OUT JUST WHERE THE DEEP
UPPER LOW IS GOING END UP. THEREFORE I HAVE LOW CONFIDENCE IN
LONG TERM FORECAST AND HAVE DECIDED TO CONCENTRATE MORE ON THE
SHORTER TERM.
