Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 556 AM CST Tue Nov 7 2017 .UPDATE... FOR 12Z AVIATION DISCUSSION. && .DISCUSSION... Heavy rainfall occurred over a narrow east-to-west band extending from Humphreys and Houston counties, to southern Davidson and northern William counties, and then eastward to the Crossville and Sparta area. Rainfall amounts in this band were commonly above two inches, with some doppler estimated amounts between 4 and 6 inches in areas Smyrna and Smithville. MesoWest data showed an overnight rain total of 4.58 inches at Smyrna. Flood Advisories and five River flood warnings were issued overnight. The heavy rains occurred along and just south of a quasi- stationary frontal boundary, and this boundary is expected to remain parked through at least 14z, before starting to push eastward later in the morning. As a result, additional localized heavy rains will likely occur in vicinity of this boundary through mid- morning, with the area for best rainfall potential eventually focusing over our northern Cumberland Plateau counties. As the cold front pulls eastward later today, and skies remain cloudy over our area, expect temperatures over most northern counties to hold steady or slowly fall during the day, and start to gradually fall over southern areas by this afternoon. Yet another shortwave brings another chance for showers tonight, although rainfall is expected to be light and only amount to a few hundredths at best. Drying finally starts to kick in on Wednesday, as clouds gradually decrease from the north. Highs on Wednesday may actually be a bit warmer over our northern counties on Wednesday, as clouds are likely to hold toughest over southern areas through the day. Clouds continue to gradually decrease Wednesday night and by Thursday we'll finally start to see some mostly sunny conditions return to the Mid-State. Hallelujah! Believe dry conditions will prevail Thursday through Saturday, with seasonably cool daytime highs mainly in the middle 50s to middle 60s and overnight lows in the 30s. A cold front is forecast to sweep in next Sunday, as an upper trough deepens over the Mississippi Valley and swings eastward. Expect scattered showers to develop in our area Saturday night and Sunday,then diminish from the west Sunday night and Monday morning. && .AVIATION... 12Z TAF DISCUSSION. BNA/MQY/CKV/CSV...Poor flying weather today as a frontal boundary across Middle Tennessee is providing the focus for showers and a few storms. Even after the rain moves out of the area later this morning, IFR ceilings will persist at least into the evening and possibly overnight before conditions improve. && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && DISCUSSION......19 AVIATION........08
