Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 322 PM CDT Fri Jul 28 2017 .SHORT TERM... (Tonight-Sun Night) Will be making some minor tweaks as press time approaches for shwrs/tstms coverage associated with sfc frontal passage. Will break out a late afternoon zone grouping to give best detail in areal coverage of remaining shwrs/tstms. Sfc front has pushed into nw portions of the mid state this early afternoon. Sfc front is expected to continue pushing sewd as the late afternoon hours progress and maybe even south of our cwa as soon as 29/00Z. Rainfall may end across srn portions of the mid state region as early as early this evening also. This is based on current regional radar trends along with diurnal influences wanning and also realizing best potential of weak shortwave disturbance passages embedded within quasi broad upper level troughing influences across region shifting sewd also. Consensus of all short term and traditional medium range models show that dry conditions will prevail across the mid state region after midnight tonight. However, a significant change to the air mass is expected as the first part of the weekend progresses, as above mentioned sfc front will have pushed well south of our region by Sat morning. Strong high pressure influences centered across wrn portions of the Great Lakes Region will build into our area. Dry and seasonably pleasant wx along with moclr skies will be in store over the weekend as also upper level ridging dynamics to our west slowly shift ewd into our region. As for temps, as per above mentioned sfc high pressure influences to our north build into the mid state region, temps will actually drop to a few degrees below seasonably normal values for tonight, with lows in the mid to upper 60s. Highs on Sat continue to look to be on average 5 to 7 degrees below seasonal normal values with less humidity also. Thus great wx for outdoor summer activities on Sat. Highs on Sat will range in the lower 80s, upper 70s to around 80 Cumberland Plateau Region. Lows Sat night continue to look like they will be seasonably cool, with lows mainly in the lower 60s, and even into the upper 50s Cumberland Plateau Region. Highs on Sun afternoon and lows on Sun night will remain status quo as compared to Sat and Sat night, with some locations possibly a degree or two warmer. .LONG TERM... (Mon-Fri) Broad upper level ridging will persist across wrn portions with broad upper level troughing across ern portions of the contiguous U.S. next work week. 28/12Z EURO/GFS now more in line with the potential of enhanced upper level troughing influences across ern portions of contiguous U.S. than their model runs showed yesterday. Sfc pattern continues to show apex of broad high pressure influences shifting from wrn portions of the Great Lakes Region early Mon moving slowly sewd into the cntrl Appalachians by Fri. Broad high pressure influences will continue wwd across most of the contiguous U.S. next work week. Dry conditions will prevail Sun thru Tue night with generally ptcldy skies expected. With the potential of increasing upper level troughing influences as the second half of next work week progresses, especially late work week, ptcldy skies with diurnal driven typical summertime iso/sct light/mdt shwrs and tstms are expected to prevail Wed thru Fri. As for temps, on average, they will be around seasonal normal values next work week. && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF DISCUSSION. Showers with a few embedded thunderstorms will continue to blossom across the area as a cold front moves through Middle Tennessee this afternoon and evening. All sites can expect mainly MVFR conditions. The front will shift winds to northwest, beginning around 19Z at CKV, 21Z at BNA/MQY, and around 23Z at CSV. A period of VFR will follow the front with north northwest winds near 10KT. Forecast models indicate development of a low cloud deck after 10Z which should lift toward the end of the taf period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
