Area forecast discussion, Nov 6, 12:23 AM CST, 1 hour 31 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Nashville TN
1223 AM CST Tue Nov 6 2018

.UPDATE...
FOR MORNING DISCUSSION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

Updated suite of forecast products to remove several counties
across western and northern portions of mid state from Tornado
Watch Number 423.

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF DISCUSSION.

CKV/BNA/MQY/CSV...Went very close to 06/00Z TAF discussion
reasoning. Several amendments probable at all terminal sites due
to actual fluctuations in wx, wind, vsbys, and ceilings thru at
least 06/12Z. Reason behind this is that there is no way with
forecast wx resolution to do these very short term time period
deviations accurately in a concise terminal forecast format. One
significant change of note though is the introduction of LLWS with
60kts of shear within 2 KFT of sfc. Data from 06/04Z OHX sounding
sounding profile depicting 50-60kts winds as close as 200 feet
off sfc. Significant caution is urged for any aviation interest
across the mid state region thru 06/12Z. Latest models continuing
to support designated TEMPO group impacts and timing windows of
potential strong/svr tstms of a potential squall line feature
moving across terminal locations. During these TEMPO time periods
sfc gusts 40 to 50 kts if not locally higher are certainly not out
of the question. Sly sustained sfc winds 10-15kts with gusts to
25kts will veer to the west as sfc cold front continues to move
southeastward across and out of mid state by 06/12Z. Conditions
should rapidly improve to VFR/SKC conditions all terminals
06/14Z-07/06Z as sfc high pressure influences and a dry quasi swly
flow pattern becomes established across mid state region.

.OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
