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 Aug 26, 6:28 PM CDT, 3 hours 11 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 26, 6:28 PM CDT, 3 hours 11 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 628 PM CDT FRI AUG 26 2016 .UPDATE... FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION. && .DISCUSSION... The forecast wont change too much each day as an upper high slowly moves eastward towards the Atlantic and gets replaced by another upper high/ridging next week. Subtle shortwave disturbances within the upper flow combined with diurnal support will be enough for some shower and thunderstorm activity through the duration of the forecast. Temperatures look to remain very consistent through the end of next week with highs mainly in the low to mid 90s and lows in the low to mid 70s. For the short term through Sunday, chances for showers and thunderstorms will mainly be during the afternoon hours, but there will still be chances for lingering showers to persist into the evening. With weak upper level shear thanks to the upper closed high, thunderstorms will be mainly pulse type and not move too quickly. So if heavier showers and thunderstorms develop, slow movement may bring some flood risks to impacted areas. Also, with some enhanced areas of MUCAPE over the mid state during the afternoon hours, some gusty winds will be possible with the higher topped convection. Otherwise, just expecting typical isolated late summer afternoon convection through the weekend. After Sunday, the upper closed high begins to merge with the approaching ridge, and keeps high pressure aloft through next week. Another closed upper high will develop Tuesday, but doesnt look to progress eastward like the previous high. Instead, the ridge over the Plains will keep us in more of a northwesterly flow pattern by late Wednesday. Again with subtle shortwaves embedded within the upper flow, mainly afternoon showers and thunderstorms are expected each day next week. By Friday, the ridge axis looks to slide across the MS River Valley and may give us a dry weekend across the mid state. For now have Friday and Friday night mainly dry with a slight chance for afternoon thunderstorms on the Plateau. .AVIATION... 18Z TAF DISCUSSION. Convective temps running just a few degrees above current temps at this hour. Should see some isol to sct development aft 21z or so. Otw, higher pressure remains stacked to our east. Convective activity that does develop will move very slowly northward. Light fog possible late tonight as current tover values are slightly negative. && .AVIATION... 00Z TAF DISCUSSION. A rather typical summertime pattern will continue in place over the Mid-State during the next 24 hrs, with a period of BR expected during the late night/early morning hours, and isolated thunderstorms during the afternoon. Visibilities in the BR will be mainly MVFR, although can't rule out a brief period of IFR at one or more of our airports. Daytime conditions will be mainly VFR, except for a brief period of MVFR and/or IFR conditions if a thunderstorm should happen to pass over an airport. && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && DISCUSSION......19 AVIATION........08
