.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT)...
/ISSUED 328 PM CDT TUE JUL 8 2014/

A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH ROTATING AROUND THE SOUTHERN FLANK OF
THE MIDWEST/OH RIVER VALLEY UPPER TROUGH WILL ACT TO PUSH THE SFC
COLD FRONT, CURRENTLY LOCATED FROM S MO TO NORTH CENTRAL IN,
SOUTHEASTWARD. AS IT MOVES SE, IN CONJUNCTION WITH LINGERING OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES, CURRENT CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO PROGRESS
EASTWARD THIS EVENING. FURTHER NORTH, INCREASED WIND SHEAR AND LIFT
OVER MIDDLE TN, THERE IS A STRONG LIKELIHOOD THAT A QLCS/SQUALL LINE
MAY DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE FRONT LATE TONIGHT AND PROGRESS ACROSS THE
AREA SE BEHIND LINGERING DISCRETE CONVECTIVE CELLS. GREATER WIND
SHEAR OVER MIDDLE TN MAY RESULT IN SOME OF THESE STORMS PRODUCING
DAMAGING WINDS BEFORE WEAKENING AS THEY ARRIVE OVER S MIDDLE TN. MUCH
OF THE AREA IS WITHIN A MARITIME TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT WITH PWATS
RISING CLOSE TO 2.0 INCHES BY TOMORROW MORNING AND SFC DEWPOINTS IN
THE UPPER 60S TO LOW 70S.

FORECAST SOUNDINGS AND OTHER PLAN VIEW PRODUCTS INDICATE AN UNSTABLE
ENVIRONMENT HOLDING THROUGH MOST OF THE NIGHT. MUCAPE VALUES ARE
BTWN 500-1000 J/KG OVERNIGHT AND INCREASE BY LATER TOMORROW MORNING
(09/16Z) TO 1500 J/KG. AS A RESULT, EXPECTING THE THREATS WITH ANY
OF THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY TO BE GUSTY WINDS UP TO 50 MPH WITH
HYBRID MICROBURST POTENTIAL AND HEAVY RAINFALL. THE THREAT MAY
TRANSITION SOMEWHAT TOMORROW TO WET MICROBURST AS THE LOW-LEVELS DRY
SLIGHTLY, BUT THE HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT WILL PREVAIL AS THE
ENVIRONMENT PROFILE CONTINUES TO BE SATURATED.

THE SFC COLD FRONT APPEARS TO SLOW (OVER MIDDLE TN) AS IT EDGES S ON
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON (NOT UNUSUAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR), AND WILL
KEEP POPS GOING THROUGH THE DAY GIVEN THIS POSSIBILITY. ADDITIONALLY,
DID ADJUST DAYTIME HIGH TEMPERATURES LOWER TO ACCOUNT FOR THE CLOUD
COVER AND EXPECTED CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WITH THE CAVEAT THAT ANY
BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS WILL SEND TEMPERATURES HIGHER ON WED.

THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL SLOWLY SHIFT SOUTHEAST AS THE SFC COLD
FRONT SLOWLY MOVES SOUTHEAST. THE FRONT MAY ACTUALLY OSCILLATE IN
ITS LOCATION AS IT FINALLY PASSES OVER THE REGION AND HAVE KEPT
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES IN THE FORECAST THROUGH THE DAY ON THURSDAY
MAINLY S OF THE TN RIVER.

.LONG TERM (FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...

A DRIER CP AIRMASS SHOULD THEN PREVAIL ON FRIDAY WITH TEMPERATURES
IN THE LOW 90S BUT WITH LOWER DEWPOINTS IN THE 60S.

THE UPPER FLOW PATTERN BEGINS TO TRANSITION TO A QUASI-ZONAL FLOW
PATTERN UNTIL SUNDAY WHICH WILL TRANSLATE TO A MORE SUMMERTIME QUIET
HOT/HUMID WEEKEND WITH AFTERNOON CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS. THEN,
THE POLAR VORTEX SHIFTS SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND OH
RIVER VALLEY BY SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY WHICH WILL PLACE A NW
FLOW PATTERN ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST WITH THE BUILDING RIDGE OVER THE
WESTERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY. IN EFFECT, THIS COULD SETUP A TRAIN OF
MCS' MOVING SE FROM THE PLAINS TO THE SOUTHEAST WITH COOLER TEMPS
POSSIBLE DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY/TUESDAY. THUS, HAVE KEPT POPS IN
THE FORECAST FROM SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY.

SL.77

&&

.AVIATION...
FOR 00Z TAFS...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD.
CURRENTLY ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE REMAINING
JUST NORTH OF THE TAF SITES BUT MAY BECOME VCTS IF THEY DIP FURTHER
TO THE SOUTH IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. MORE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE AROUND
MIDNIGHT AND AGAIN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WHEN A COLD APPROACHES THE
AREA. CONDITIONS COULD BECOME MVFR WITHIN THE STRONGER STORMS.
