.UPDATE...FOR 00Z TAFS.

&&

.AVIATION...
LINE OF STORMS CONTINUES TO DRIVE SOUTH THIS EVENING...WITH CKV
AND POSSIBLY BNA BEING AFFECTED. CSV SEEMINGLY WILL HAVE VERY
LITTLE IMPACT BY THIS LINE. THESE STORMS MAY BRIEFLY BRING DOWN
CIGS/VSBYS AS WELL AS CAUSE STRONG GUSTY WIND. OVERALL EXPECT VFR
CONDITIONS THROUGH MOST OF THE NIGHT...WITH LIGHT FOG FORMING
TOWARD MORNING. VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED 15Z WED AND LATER.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 302 PM CDT TUE JUL 1 2014/

DISCUSSION...

NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES FOR THIS AFTERNOON'S PACKAGE. FOCUS WILL
REVOLVE AROUND THIS EVENING'S THUNDERSTORM CHANCES IN THE
NORTHWEST...TOMORROW'S FRONTAL PASSAGE WITH A MARGINAL SEVERE
WEATHER THREAT IN THE SOUTH...AND SUBSEQUENT DRY AIR/COOLER
TEMPERATURES STARTING THURSDAY.

A SURFACE FRONT DRAPED FROM NORTHERN OHIO SWWD INTO OKLAHOMA WILL BE
THE INSTIGATOR FOR THUNDERSTORM INITIATION THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE
MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.  THESE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO TRACK
INTO SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND KENTUCKY EARLY THIS EVENING...BRINGING
WITH THEM A CHANCE FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND HAIL.  WITH THE
EXPECTED PATH OF THIS LINE EXPECTED TO BE EWD TO ENEWD...WHETHER ANY
OF THE MID-STATE WILL SEE THE AFFECTS OF THIS LINE WILL DEPEND ON
TWO THINGS...FIRST...HOW FAR SOUTH INTO ARKANSAS IT DEVELOPS...AND
SECOND...HOW LATE IT DEVELOPS.  CURRENTLY WE ARE SEEING EXTREME
VALUES OF SURFACE BASED CAPE /4000+ J PER KG/ ACROSS OUR NORTHWEST
COUNTIES AND MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE MODEST...BUT STILL SUFFICIENT
TO SUSTAIN DECENT UPDRAFTS.  THE LATER IN THE EVENING THIS POTENTIAL
LINE NEARS THE AREA...THE LESS CHANCE WE WILL EXPERIENCE SEVERE
WEATHER DUE TO DIURNAL EFFECTS.  FOR NOW...WILL CARRY A CHANCE POP
FOR AREAS NORTH OF I-40 AND WEST OF I-65 INTO THE EVENING HOURS.

THE EXCITEMENT ISN'T OVER ONCE THE LINE PASSES THOUGH.  FROPA ISN'T
EXPECTED TO OCCUR UNTIL WEDNESDAY MORNING.  THIS MEANS THAT THERE
WILL BE A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ONCE AGAIN LATE
TONIGHT/EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING AS THE FRONT ARRIVES AND PASSES
THROUGH THE STATE.  THE QUESTION WILL BE WHETHER OR NOT WE WILL SEE
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 40 DURING THE
AFTERNOON.  TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB INTO THE LOW 90S AGAIN...AND
COUPLED WITH DEW POINTS REMAINING IN THE UPPER 60S...THERE WILL BE
AMPLE AMOUNTS OF INSTABILITY ACROSS MIDDLE TENNESSEE DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS. FORECAST SOUNDINGS ARE SUGGESTING THAT MID-LEVEL
LAPSE RATES ARE GOOD DURING THE AFTERNOON AS WELL...BUT THERE ARE
TWO THINGS THAT SEVERE WEATHER ON WEDNESDAY HAS GOING AGAINST IT.
FIRST...THE FRONT HAS ALREADY PASSED...WHICH MEANS THE BEST
THETA-E VALUES WILL BE SOUTH OF THE STATE...AND SECOND...THE FRONT
ITSELF IS EXPECTED TO BE VERY DIFFUSE. THIS MIGHT LIMIT THE
FOCUSING MECHANISM FOR GOOD UPDRAFTS. WITH THE INSTABILITY IN
PLACE...AND THE UNSEASONABLE PASSAGE OF EVEN A WEAK FRONT...I WILL
GO AHEAD AND HIGHLIGHT THE SMALL CHANCE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THE MAIN THREATS WILL BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS
AND HAIL. ONCE WE LOSE THE HEATING OF THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY...THIS
THREAT SHOULD END.

WEDNESDAY'S RAIN CHANCES WILL BE THE LAST OPPORTUNITY FOR RAIN
FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AS UNSEASONABLY DRY AIR FILTER INTO THE
STATE...ALONG WITH TEMPERATURES WELL BELOW NORMAL. THURSDAY'S
HIGHS MAY BE AS MUCH AS 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR MOST OF MIDDLE
TENNESSEE AS THICKNESS VALUES AND SLIDING MOS VALUES CONTINUE TO
SUPPORT ONE HECKUVA DAY THURSDAY. WHILE SLIGHTLY WARMER ON
FRIDAY...YOUR INDEPENDENCE DAY IN TENNESSEE SHOULD BE A
MAGNIFICENT ONE AS WELL. WE WILL BEGIN TO WARM ONCE AGAIN SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY...BUT SHOULD REMAIN AOB NORMS UNTIL MONDAY. NEXT CHANCE
OF RAIN LOOKS LIKE TUESDAY AS THE NORMAL SUMMERTIME PATTERN
RETURNS TO THE SOUTHEAST.

UNGER

AVIATION...18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

CAP IN PLACE THIS AFTERNOON DESPITE THE HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS.
MORNING SOUNDING SUPPORTS THE STRONG CAP AT THE 800MB TO 850MB
LEVEL. STILL EXPECTING A COLD FRONT TO ARRIVE OVERNIGHT. CANT FIND
A SINGLE MODEL WITH DESCENT PRECIP COVERAGE OVERNIGHT. BUT...MCS
SYSTEMS ARE KNOWN FOR HAVING A MIND OF THERE OWN. THEREFORE...WILL
INCLUDE VCNTY TSTMS FOR NOW AFT 00Z. BY 07Z THE THREAT SHOULD
END...BKN LAYER AT 3KFT TO PERSIST.

.OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
