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 22, 7:28 PM CDT, 38 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 22, 7:28 PM CDT, 38 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 728 PM CDT Tue Aug 22 2017 .UPDATE... FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION. && .DISCUSSION... A wide band of showers has developed across Middle Tennessee early this afternoon. Additional activity is occurring farther upstream, just on the other side of the Ohio River in the vicinity of a surface boundary that is approaching Middle Tennessee. Latest HRRR shows the activity persisting throughout the afternoon, and even increasing late this afternoon and into the evening as the front pushes into Middle Tennessee. Most of the cells will diminish by 06Z, with some lingering showers mainly across eastern and southern Middle Tennessee tomorrow morning before the front finally exits the mid state. There is a marginal risk of severe storms this afternoon and evening, but the potential for severe activity is quite limited. Expect cooler temperatures beginning tomorrow as post-frontal air filters into the mid state, and below normal temperatures will persist right through the end of the forecast period. The remainder of the week looks to be dry, so we won't see any appreciable rain chance until the weekend as deeper moisture drifts up from the south in advance of a tropical system coming onshore along the western Gulf of Mexico. At this time, it appears that the tropical system will have a more direct impact on Middle Tennessee next Thursday and Friday, and already the GFS and ECMWF are coming into good agreement over placement and timing. && .AVIATION... 00Z TAF DISCUSSION. A line of thunderstorms is moving across the midstate this evening. The line has already cleared CKV and will clear BNA by 01z. CSV will likely see at least vcts between 01 and 04z this evening with gusty winds off and on as the front moves through. Winds will calm shift out of the north after the precip passes. Lower visibilities will be possible at all sites after midnight as fog develops. By 14z conditions should begin to return to MVFR and VFR as drier air makes its way into the area and cloud cover decreases. && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && DISCUSSION......08 AVIATION........11
