The local office's own words before this special weather statement 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 special weather statement went out at Jul 6, 11:14 PM CDT, 3 hours 58 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jul 6, 11:14 PM CDT, 3 hours 58 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1114 PM CDT WED JUL 6 2016 .UPDATE... FOR 06Z AVIATION DISCUSSION. && .DISCUSSION... Convection has continued to develop over far southern Illinois down into western Kentucky this evening as upper low now centered over far southern illinois near Carbondale with 50 knot mid level speed max just south of low center. Believe bulk of convection will remain north of Middle Tennessee but northeastern areas and the Upper Cumberland could get clipped with a few showers and a thunderstorms. Locally heavy downpours look to be the main concern. .AVIATION... 18Z TAF DISCUSSION. Kept TAFs to 6 lines for brevity sake. Used FM groups for best depictions. With this in mind, tried to tie all this up with current regional radar trends and short range model depictions of MCS associated activity transversing the mid state region on at least a couple of occasions thru 07/18Z. First impacts for terminals should be during the 06/22Z-07/03Z time frame with the second one from the 07/02Z-07/14Z time frame. During tstm activities, MVFR fog maybe experienced. Did not want to go with tstms throughout majority of forecast, but wanted to show potential of some lingering pcpn behind passages, and thus addressed with vcsh remarks. Ceilings on the whole will either be VFR TO MVFR. .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Flash Flood Watch until 6 AM CDT Thursday FOR Clay-Cumberland- Fentress-Jackson-Macon-Montgomery-Overton-Pickett-Putnam- Robertson-Smith-Stewart-Sumner-Trousdale. DISCUSSION......01/Boyd && .AVIATION... 06Z TAF DISCUSSION. Aviation interest should monitor terminal forecasts closely as thunderstorm complex nearing Kentucky border will sag southward overnight bringing showers and thunderstorms to the terminals. Mid level low now centered over far southern Illinois will move slowly eastward overnight. 40 knot southwesterly low level jet is impinging on surface boundary that stretches from west to east through central Kentucky. Jet has intensified last couple of hours. 45 knot northwesterly mid level jet intersecting low level jet far southwest Kentucky. Still seeing rather strong positive moisture flux divergence in southwest Kentucky. Conditions should improve after 10z to 12z all terminals. && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Flash Flood Watch until 6 AM CDT Thursday FOR Clay-Cumberland- Fentress-Jackson-Macon-Montgomery-Overton-Pickett-Putnam- Robertson-Smith-Stewart-Sumner-Trousdale. && DISCUSSION......01/Boyd AVIATION........01/Boyd
