Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Nashville TN
1217 PM CDT Fri Apr 21 2017

.UPDATE...
FOR 18Z AVIATION DISCUSSION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

Forecast over the next few days has not changed too much, showing
the potential for some strong to severe thunderstorms mainly in
the south and heavy rain over the next few days. Upper trough over
the Great Lakes region will still force cold air southward into
the region today, and looks to stall as the Plains shortwave moves
in for Saturday which will bring warm air northward. This will
provide an overrunning precip event with plenty of moisture and
bring the potential for not only strong to severe storms with
damaging wind gusts possible, but also heavy rain and flooding
potential as well.

For today, the surface cold front will settle in a southwest to
northeast axis across the mid state, which will bring a decent
temperature gradient across the area. Highs in the northwest zones
will be in the mid to upper 60s, while some low 80s will be
showing up in the south. Showers and thunderstorms look to develop
during the morning and spread across the area during the
afternoon, with the best chances from the early afternoon through
the evening. As of the current model spread, chances for strong to
severe storms is a little higher today compared to tomorrow, with
higher instability oriented in the southwest to northeast
direction along the boundary. The area more likely to see stronger
storms will be along and south of I-40 for the most part, but also
along the northern Plateau where some better instability exists as
well. Main threat with stronger storms will be damaging winds, but
also some hail will be possible, especially further south where
lapse rates are a bit stronger. Looking at model soundings, pwat
values will increase this afternoon, so heavy rain/flooding will
also be a concern.

Showers and thunderstorm chances will continue overnight into
Saturday as the warm air forces the cold front back northward a
bit while the Plains shortwave moves closer to the region.
Additional warm moist air will be forced northward as well over
the mid state, which will again bring pwat values over an inch and
a half Saturday afternoon. With the upper low near the mid state
Saturday afternoon as well, it looks like heavy rain potential
will be slightly higher on Saturday, especially north of I-40
early in the afternoon and later east of I-65. Models have lowered
QPF amounts slightly, but amounts of 1 to 3 inches still look
possible from Friday afternoon through early Sunday morning, with
locally higher amounts possible with stronger convection.
Instability is a little weaker across the area Saturday, but 0-6km
shear is more impressive around 40 to 50 knots thanks to the
upper low being much closer to the area. Enough potential exists
for areas south of I-40 to again have chances for some stronger
storms with damaging winds during the afternoon and early evening.
By late afternoon/early evening, the cold front begins to win
over the warm air due to the progression of the upper low, so
thunderstorm chances should diminish late Saturday evening for
most of the mid state and into the early morning hours Sunday for
the Plateau.

Showers will continue a bit longer on Sunday due to the upper low
closing off and digging a bit southward as it sits overhead. This
looks to develop some backside post frontal showers for most of
the day Sunday. Shower chances should move off to the east Sunday
night, with only the Plateau seeing slight chances for showers
early Monday morning. The GFS has become very aggressive with the
upper low, and has it spinning overhead even into the afternoon
Monday, but for now kept things dry Monday afternoon.

Not surprised, but models now have some scattered precip next
week as opposed to the dry solutions presented yesterday. Flow
aloft becomes more southwesterly, so all it will take is a small
disturbance in the upper flow pattern to kick off some chances for
showers and thunderstorms. Best shot with current model solutions
is possibly Wednesday morning for the northwest, and possibly
early Thursday morning as well. Have another shot Friday into
Saturday next week, but overall models have little agreement for
precip potential next week, so expecting a lot of changes before
one solution is finally agreed upon.

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

BNA/CKV/CSV...Surface front bisects Middle Tennessee from NE to SW
as we head into the afternoon. Already, scattered showers and a
few storms have developed mainly along and south of the boundary.
Look for the front to slowly penetrate farther to the south during
the next several hours, with deeper moisture advecting into
Middle Tennessee later this afternoon and tonight. This will
contribute to more widespread activity across the entire mid
state. Expect ceilings to deteriorate to MVFR as showers become
more widespread.
