Area forecast discussion, Apr 3, 8:23 PM CDT, 55 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 823 PM CDT Tue Apr 3 2018 .UPDATE... FOR EVENING DISCUSSION. && .DISCUSSION... With latest SPC day one evening convective outlook emphasizing the potential for damaging winds more versus large hail across the mid state region, removed the large hail reference in the zone forecast product. This is not saying that large hail will not still be a threat with an isolated svr tstm or two, but damaging winds potential is the main threat this evening. Tweaked hrly temp, dewpoint, and wind speed/direction grids. Remainder of forecast continues to be on track. && .AVIATION... 00Z TAF DISCUSSION. CKV/BNA/MQY/CSV...Will continue close to timing reasoning of 18Z TAF forecast issuance as consensus of short range model guidance continues to support. VFR conditions should generally prevail before 04/02Z. Sfc pressure gradient influences should continue to support gusts as high as 35kts ahead of, along, and shortly behind strong sfc frontal passage. Sfc winds will veer from SW ahead of to NW behind frontal passage. As strong sfc frontal boundary moves across mid state 04/00Z-04/06Z, increasing chances of shwrs and tstms, with ceilings lowering to at least MVFR thresholds, possible. Decreasing cloudiness expected behind frontal passage as upper level troughing influences move eastward and sfc ridging influences build into mid state region. && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Wind Advisory until 10 PM CDT this evening for Bedford-Cannon- Cheatham-Clay-Coffee-Davidson-De Kalb-Dickson-Giles-Hickman- Houston-Humphreys-Jackson-Lawrence-Lewis-Macon-Marshall-Maury- Montgomery-Perry-Robertson-Rutherford-Smith-Stewart-Sumner- Trousdale-Wayne-Williamson-Wilson. && DISCUSSION......31 AVIATION........31
