Area forecast discussion, Jul 8, 4:47 PM CDT, 1 hour 20 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 447 PM CDT FRI JUL 8 2016 .UPDATE... FOR EVENING DISCUSSION. && .DISCUSSION... Will opt to go ahead and expand the flash flood watch westward by adding Stewart and Montgomery counties. This will fill in the graphic with the KY offices. Furthermore, developing thunderstorm complex over the MO bootheel, NE ARK, and far northwestern TN is continuing to maintain its strength. Latest HRRR shows this activity weakening. However, NAM and GFS solutions bring a good half inch across our northwestern CWA after 7 PM this evening. 850 mb flow to weaken slightly overnight but PVA is lated to increase. Also, will take a closer look at pops overnight. The current 40 pop may need to be increased. Update and the expanded watch will be issued shortly. && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF DISCUSSION. Scattered thunderstorms will develop through the afternoon, mainly over the Cumberland Plateau region. Will include tempo group for CSV. Less certainty for BNA, so will go with VCTS, and no mention at all for CKV. Thunderstorms may be severe with gusty winds. Otherwise, winds will be WSW around 10kt with a few gusts around 18kt. Lots of uncertainty tonight, so not including much other than some patchy BR, but models indicate another MCS is possible overnight. Will wait to include overnight storms when we are more confident. && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Flash Flood Watch until midnight CDT tonight FOR Clay-Cumberland- De Kalb-Fentress-Jackson-Macon-Montgomery-Overton-Pickett-Putnam- Robertson-Smith-Stewart-Sumner-Trousdale-White-Wilson. && DISCUSSION......05 AVIATION........21
