.DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 425 AM CDT MON AUG 18 2014/
CONVECTIVE CELLS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING ACROSS THE NRN/WRN PARTS OF
THE CNTRL TN VALLEY OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF HRS...WITHIN A LIGHT WNW
FLOW REGIME. THIS ACTIVITY WAS BEING DRIVEN BY A WEAK EMBEDDED UPPER
DISTURBANCE TRAVERSING ACROSS THE REGION. ADDITIONAL CONVECTION IS
XPCTED LATER TODAY...AS A SECONDARY WAVE OVER THE MID SOUTH/LOWER MS
VALLEY REGIONS TRANSLATES EWD...RESULTING IN NUMEROUS SHOWERS/TSTMS.
WHILE MOISTURE PROFILES LOOK TO BE FAIRLY DENSE NOW AOA H5 THEREBY
SOMEWHAT MITIGATING THE THREAT FOR SUDDEN MICROBURSTS...NEAR ZONAL
TRANSPORT WINDS AROUND 20KT DOES SUPPORT POSSIBLE CELL TRAINING OF
TSTMS. THIS ALREADY LOOKS TO BE DEVELOPING ACROSS SRN MID TN...AND
MAY VERY WELL BECOME A THREAT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA AS THE
DAY PROGRESSES. AT THE SFC...A WEAK COLD FRONT IS POSITIONED FROM
THE OH VALLEY WWD INTO THE MID PLAINS...WITH THE LATEST MODEL RUNS
SUGGESTING THE BOUNDARY REMAINING FAIRLY STAGNANT WELL INTO TUE.

CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY SHOULD BEGIN TO GRADUALLY TAPER OFF FROM W TO E
THIS EVENING...WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE UPPER DISTURBANCE TO THE ESE.
WITH THE FLOW PATTERN REMAINING OUT OF THE NW...ISO SHOWERS/TSTMS
WILL AT LEAST REMAIN IN THE FORECAST INTO WED...WITH THE 00Z GLOBAL
MODELS HINTING AT SOME ADDITIONAL UPPER WAVES IMPACTING PORTIONS OF
THE AREA...BEFORE STRONG UPPER RIDGING OUT OF THE CNTRL/SRN PLAINS
STARTS TO TRANSLATE EWD. OVERALL CONDS SHOULD BEGIN TO IMPROVE ON
WED WITH THE UPCOMING SFC/UPPER HIGH. LATTER HALF OF THE MODEL
GUIDANCE IN FACT HAS AFTERNOON TEMPS CLIMBING WELL INTO THE MID 90S
BY MID WEEK...AS THE CENTER OF THE UPPER RIDGE BECOMES ENTRENCHED
ACROSS THE CNTRL GULF COAST. AFTERNOON HEAT INDICES BOTH WED AND THU
MAY EXCEED THE 100F MARK BY A COUPLE OF DEGREES...BEFORE SLIGHTLY
DRIER AIR PERHAPS FILTERS INTO THE AREA.

FOR 12Z TAFS...LARGE CLUSTERS OF SHRA/TSRA...WITH BRIEF/TEMPO FLIGHT
RESTRICTIONS...ARE GRADUALLY MOVING E ACROSS THE CNTRL/ERN HALF OF

CONDS SHOULD THEN PREVAIL INTO THE AFTERNOON PERIOD...BEFORE ANOTHER
UPPER DISTURBANCE OUT OF THE WNW RESULTS IN SCT/NUM SHRA/TSRA FORMING
W TO E. CONVECTION MAY THEN BEGIN TO GRADUALLY TAPER OFF LATER THIS
EVENING TO THE E...WITH VFR CONDS PREVAILING INTO THE EARLY MORNING
