Area forecast discussion, Jul 8, 7:31 PM CDT, 13 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 731 PM CDT FRI JUL 8 2016 .UPDATE... FOR EVENING DISCUSSION. && .DISCUSSION... This afd is being reissued so as to reflect the temporal extension in regard to the flood watch. It is now in effect until 2 am cdt. && .AVIATION... 00Z TAF DISCUSSION. Moist and unstable airmass in place through the 1st half of the taf pd. A series of upper level impulses will interact with the instability and produce strong to potentially severe tstms through around 10z. stronger wind gusts will be possible with the tstms. Otw, aft 09z we will see our lower level wind flow become more northwesterly as a sfc high builds southward from the upper midwest. This will act to bring lower dewpoints and less convective energy to the area. Despite the continuation of a few upper level impulses, most of the convective activity should be south of the taf sites during the latter portions of the taf pd. && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
