AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
310 AM CDT SAT APR 9 2016

.DISCUSSION...

1028 MBAR SURFACE HIGH WILL WORK DOWN INTO THE AREA DURING THE DAY
WITH SUNNY SKIES. HIGHS TODAY IN THE UPPER 40S IN THE UPPER
CUMBERLAND AND LOW TO MIDDLE 50S ELSEWHERE. FREEZE WARNING IN
EFFECT FOR TONIGHT EASTERN MIDDLE INCLUDING PLATEAU. AREAS WEST OF
FREEZE WARNING AREA SHOULD REMAIN BASICALLY FROST FREE AS CLOUDS
START TO MOVE IN DURING THE LATE EVENING OVER THAT AREA AND WE MAY
SEE TEMPS ACTUALLY RISE A FEW DEGREES IN THE LATE NIGHT WEST OF
INTERSTATE 65 WHILE EASTERN AREAS AND PLATEAU REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR.
ROCKY MOUNTAIN SYSTEM GETS BETTER ORGANIZED ON SUNDAY OUT IN THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS WITH TIGHTENING SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENT ACROSS OUR AREA ESPECIALLY SUNDAY NIGHT BRINGING GUSTY
WINDS. BY 12Z MONDAY MORNING FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL EXTEND DOWN
ALONG THE OHIO RIVER THROUGH SOUTHERN MISSOURI INTO A LOW JUST
SOUTH OF AMARILLO TEXAS. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LOOK TO BE
ALIGNED MORE ALONG SURFACE FRONT KEEPING MID STATE BASICALLY DRY
FIRST PART OF THE DAY MONDAY BUT BY AFTERNOON ACTIVITY LOOKS TO BE
WORKING IN OVER WESTERN AREAS OF THE MID STATE. SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS CATEGORICAL MONDAY NIGHT. SURFACE FRONT WORKS ACROSS
THE MID STATE MONDAY NIGHT WITH WINDS TURNING NORTHERLY. BEST
INSTABILITY WITH MID 60S DEWPOINTS ACROSS ARKANSAS MONDAY
AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING NOSING UP INTO THE MEMPHIS AREA. GOOD
VERTICAL SHEAR THAT AREA. I DON'T SEE MID STATE HAVING MUCH OF A
SEVERE THREAT WITH THIS SYSTEM AS INSTABILITY IS LACKING WHILE
FRONTAL ZONE SLIDES DOWN INTO MID STATE MONDAY EVENING. SHOWERS
EXIT TUESDAY. TEMPS STAY FAIRLY CLOSE TO CLIMATOLOGY NEXT SEVEN
DAYS. I KEPT IT DRY WEDNESDAY INTO THE WEEKEND.

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF DISCUSSION.

BNA/CKV/CSV...HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUES TO WORK ITS WAY INTO MIDDLE
TENNESSEE, WITH COLDER & DRIER AIR FILTERING IN. WINDS HAVE
DIMINISHED SOMEWHAT DUE TO A WEAKER SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT, BUT
LOOK FOR WINDS TO INCREASE AGAIN AFTER SUNRISE, ESPECIALLY ALONG
THE PLATEAU. EXPECT VFR WX THE NEXT 24 HRS.
