.DISCUSSION...

Already cells are popping up along the Cumberland Plateau with a
cumulus field filling in across the remainder of Middle Tennessee.
Expect cells to become more widespread during the afternoon, then
mostly dissipate by sunset. Morning sounding from OHX once again
shows good instability with steep mid-level lapse rates and
sufficient moisture. Given that there is so little shear, any
storms that eventually become strong to severe will be limited to
hail and gusty winds. High pressure continues to cover the
southeast U.S. this afternoon both at the surface and aloft. With
so little support aloft, cells today will be slow-movers, and
existing cells are exhibiting westward/southwestward propagation.
High pressure will remain the dominant feature across the region
for most of this week, and only when we get to Thursday and Friday
do we see the ridge start to break down. Both the GFS and Euro
bring a shortwave into the Great Plains on Thursday, and this
system will maintain its amplification as it moves eastward (as
opposed to getting washed out by the ridge). The upper trough will
move across Middle Tennessee around 00Z Sunday. Don't know that
we'll get an actual fropa at the surface, but POP's will increase
somewhat as we head toward next weekend. In the near term, look
for temperatures to level off beginning tomorrow with heat indices
generally topping out in the upper 90's. Given that the current
level of instability will remain with us for the foreseeable
future, scattered thunderstorms during peak-heating hours are
going to be a fixture this week. At this time, the SPC still only
shows general thunderstorms for Middle Tennessee on days 1-3, so
most of our storms should behave themselves. And no heat
advisories will be needed anytime soon.
