What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Nashville, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 4, 3:28 PM CDT, 3 hours 42 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 4, 3:28 PM CDT, 3 hours 42 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 328 PM CDT THU AUG 4 2016 .DISCUSSION... Scattered convection is circulating around an upper trough axis which resides across the mid state this afternoon. This feature will be slowly pulling eastward over the next 24 hrs. 00Z lift is sill expected this evening although we will begin to get some drier air into western areas. Thus, will include 30 pops along the Plateau with lesser values west. On Friday, airmass looks drier as the aforementioned trough axis will be located east of our area. Will still carry 20-30 pops as cap erosion will commingle with neutral to weak lift. On Friday night and Saturday, the weak nwly flow aloft will push a boundary our way. Pops will increase, especially on Saturday when values will reach the likely category. Drier air may then win out by Saturday night as the boundary pushes south of our area and we become influences by a sfc high to our north For the near term temps, The next 36 hrs look quite warm prior to the the expected fropa. Then, we will see temps drop down to near normal. In the ext fcst, the sfc high over Michigan will continue to exert its influence and we will actually see minimal afternoon capes on Sunday and Monday. Pops at that time will generally be 20 at best. Then, models are hinting toward some easterly wave development with added moisture attempting to reach our area by Tues and Wed. Euro model is not quite on board with the influx of moisture so will raise pops, but no higher than 50 percent. For the ext temps, Sunday and Monday, 850 mb values will hold at 16c- 18c so despite the mostly sunny skies, highs will be no warmer than near 90. In fact, highs should remain near 90 through the rest of the ext period as moisture and u/l height values both increase. && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF DISCUSSION. For KBNA can't rule out VCSH/VCTS through 00Z, but confidence is too low to mention VCTS or anything prevailing due to isolated coverage. There is a very small chance of MVFR VSBYS 09Z-13Z, but confidence of occurrence is too low to mention at this time. For KCKV, VCSH expected through 00Z, but confidence is too low to mention VCTS or anything prevailing due to isolated coverage. Have moderate confidence of MVFR VSBYS 07Z-14Z, but it won't be prevalent the entire time. For KCSV, have high confidence of VCTS through 00Z and will probably need to prevail TSRA at some point. Have high confidence of MVFR, possibly brief periods of IFR, VSBYS 06Z-14Z. If TSRA directly impacts a terminal, brief LIFR conditions and gusty winds can be expected.
