Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Nashville TN
625 PM CDT Sun May 20 2018

.UPDATE...
FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION.

.DISCUSSION...

Active weather pattern remains for the forecast period over the
mid state, with some breaks during the overnight hours and
towards the end of the work week. Chances for showers and
thunderstorms plague most of the forecast, and even look to
continue next weekend and the beginning of next week.

Today is looking similar to yesterday, with daytime heating
breaking out cu over the area. MUCAPE values are on the rise, with
most of the area looking to see between 1000-2500 J/kg. However,
like most days so far in May, deep layer shear is very weak and
similar to a summer pattern. This weak shear is also evident with
weak storm motion, which isn't doing much to help out developing
cu and showers early this afternoon. As daytime heating continues,
additional showers and thunderstorms look to develop, and possibly
carry over from western TN similar to last night. A few CAM's like
the HRRR and WRF-ARW suggest scattered thunderstorms will develop
near the TN River late this afternoon and progress slowly towards
I-65, before dissipating rapidly around 9 PM likely due to the
loss of diurnal support. CAM's also suggested the developing
showers and storms in the southeast part of the area, and are
currently popping up early this afternoon. Kept chance pops across
the area for the afternoon, and carrying over into the evening
around and east of I-65. A few showers and possibly a thunderstorm
may continue into the early morning hours as well. Any stronger
cells that develop may drop some hail and produce some gusty
winds as well.

For Monday, upper ridging slowly begins to slide eastward, and the
Plains trough moves towards the Great Lakes region as an upper
closed low weakens over the Gulf Coast states. This should keep
southerly flow present in the low levels, and bring more moisture
into the area. PWAT values climb above 1.5 inches for most of the
mid state and even get close to 2 inches for parts of the
northwest. MUCAPE values climb again in the afternoon, with the
higher values >2000 J/kg holding strong in the northwest part of
the CWA. With storm motions even slower than today with the
absence of any strong upper wave, and weak shear as well, showers
and thunderstorms that develop in the afternoon will be able to
produce heavy rainfall in a short timeframe. Any localized areas
that receive training of storms or any stagnant heavy rain from
slow storm progression may receive flooding, in addition to any
gusty winds and small hail with the stronger cores.

Tuesday and Wednesday look similar, with the upper flow pattern
becoming more zonal ahead of the next ridge. Kept schc/chc pops in
for now as abundant moisture and diurnal showers and storms will
be possible. Wednesday night through Friday morning looks to be
the driest period in the forecast as the upper ridge moves
overhead. Similar to the previous few days went ahead and kept in
mention of schc pops for the isolated shower/storm that could pop
up in the afternoon, mainly south of I-40.

A tropical low tries to develop over the Gulf Coast, and the
GFS/ECMWF begin to show different solutions at this point. Both
models agree on keeping the mid state wet through the weekend, and
have a strong trough dig southward from the Plains/Midwest
Saturday through early Tuesday. This will keep south/southwesterly
flow in the low levels, which will keep moisture advection over
the region and thus chances for showers and storms in the
forecast. Greatest chances will remain during the afternoon hours,
again largely due to diurnal support. Looking further past the end
of the forecast Monday shows the upper trough closing off over the
Gulf Coast states, which unfortunately looks to continue rain
chances through at least Wednesday next week.

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

BNA/MQY/CKV/CSV...Thunderstorm complex is currently affecting the
Nashville Metro & Clarksville areas and this is reflected in the
first period of the TAF's. Expect things to subside within the
next couple of hours. Do not expect widespread radiation fog
overnight due to a mid-level cloud deck, and also there was very
little fog reported last night. Very little air mass change is
expected during the next 24 hrs., so have included PROB30 remarks
for scattered afternoon convection again Monday.

.OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
