Area forecast discussion, Jun 15, 3:30 PM CDT, 2 hours 9 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 330 PM CDT Fri Jun 15 2018 .DISCUSSION... Temperatures have warmed into the low 90s for most places west of the Plateau...with dew points in the mid 60s to low 70s. A few isolated thunderstorms have begun to pulse up over western Kentucky and we could see this development sink south over the next few hours. Any storms will be slow moving with periods of heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and lightning, and they should dissipate this evening with the setting sun. The large upper ridge over the eastern U.S. will continue to suppress precip chances during the day Saturday, but dewpoints in the low 70s will persist. Couple this with high temperatures in the low to mid 90s and the apparent temperatures will be nearly 100 in some areas mainly west of I-65 and north of I-40. This will fall short of heat advisory criteria, but will certainly be warm enough to warrant some frequent breaks if you're working or playing outside Saturday afternoon. Precip chances will increase slightly on Sunday as an area of moisture moves north from the Gulf. This should increase cloud cover enough to bring temperatures down a degree or two from Saturday's highs, however the air will still feel quite heavy especially after any afternoon thunderstorms pass by. The bulk of the work week will see mainly afternoon thunderstorms fed by diurnal heating. Slightly higher chances of precip may enter the forecast mid week as the ridge breaks down and a band of deeper moisture sinks south over Kentucky and into Middle Tennessee. By the end of the week the ridge is expected to begin building once again, but we never quite rid the area of the high surface dewpoints, so warm and muggy temperatures with slight chance to chance of thunderstorms will continue into next weekend. && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF DISCUSSION. BNA/MQY/CKV/CSV...A surface ridge is locked in place over Middle Tennessee this afternoon with generally light wind and VFR weather. There is a small chance of a shower west of I-65 this afternoon, and we'll be keeping an eye on radar, but we're leaving the 18Z TAF's dry since POP's are so low. Light radiation fog is possible toward morning, mainly at MQY & CKV, but otherwise good flying weather the next 24 hrs. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
