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 27, 3:02 PM CDT, 42 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 27, 3:02 PM CDT, 42 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Nashville TN
302 PM CDT SAT AUG 27 2016

.DISCUSSION...

Showers and thunderstorms have developed this afternoon thanks to
upper shortwave activity moving around the upper high as well as
diurnal support. Activity looks to continue through the afternoon
and even into the evening hours before settling down overnight. A
similar pattern for tomorrow looks to have chances for precip
during the day, and higher chances exist east of I-65.

By Monday the upper high moves eastward but is quickly replaced by
another high later in the day. With that pattern in place, again
shortwave activity combined with diurnal help will again bring
chances for showers and thunderstorms mainly Monday afternoon. A
bit of a drier period moves in Monday night through Tuesday night
as the large upper ridge over the Plains begins to track eastward.
There will be some slight chances for precip on the Plateau
Tuesday and maybe along the TN River Valley, but otherwise models
look to keep the mid state dry.

Wednesday looks to have the ridge a bit further east, bringing
northwest flow aloft over the eastern CONUS. This will allow
shortwave activity to bring some chances for showers and
thunderstorms during the day Wednesday and Thursday. Chances look
a bit less than yesterday's forecast, but still enough to have
mention of chance and slight chance in the grids. Friday and
Saturday look to be mostly dry as the upper ridge builds in, but
Saturday afternoon may have some chances for precip on the Plateau
with some weak shortwave activity.

With upper highs and ridging dominating the next week or so,
temperatures look to remain consistent with highs in the low 90s
and lows in the low to mid 70s. The only exception will be
Thursday and Friday night where model consensus has lows in the
mid to upper 60s returning to the mid state.

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

VFR conditions expected thru 28/18Z. Several amendments possible
at terminals thru period if convection develops at terminals.
With a summertime wx pattern will be in place per ridging
influences sfc/aloft, enough low level moisture will be around
to support development of mainly diurnal based convection. As
with a summertime convective pattern also, can not guarantee
convection will happen at terminals, but certainly can not rule
out in vicinity thru at least 28/02Z. If convection develops
at/near terminals, MVFR fog could develop CKV/BNA, with MVFR/IFR
fog developing CSV 28/08Z-28/14Z. From 28/14Z-28/18Z..there could
be some diurnal initialized few/sct cu/ac approaching 28/18Z...but
enough uncertainty at this time/minimal impact to aviation
interest, to mention at terminals at this time. Light SE to SW winds
expected thru 28/18Z.
