Flash Flood Warning 1, NWS Nashville, TN

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Nashville TN
221 PM CST Wed Feb 6 2019

.DISCUSSION...

We had expected a band of heavy showers to set up over our
northwest counties today, but the frontal zone has sagged
southward with the heaviest band of showers focused along and
south of Interstate 40. Within the bands of showers, one half
inch amounts have been common with some spots like southern
Hickman County into southern Williamson County picking up over 1
inch from the heavier downpours.

Going into the evening, showers will be most likely along and
north of I-40. Deep moisture will continue to stream into the
area with near record level precipitable water values. Many areas
will pick up 1 inch of rainfall, but some localized 2 inch amounts
may occur. Localized street/urban flooding may occur, but we do
not think a flood watch is needed at this time as the pockets of
heavy rainfall are transient. We are likely to see some big rises
on creeks and streams, and rivers will eventually respond. Some
points along the Cumberland are expected to reach action stage
within the next couple of days. The main impact from the rain
today and tonight will be to set the stage for future flood
potential. That could be an issue Thursday evening, but more
likely early next week when a period of prolonged rainy wx is
expected.

A couple of strong to marginally severe thunderstorm cannot be
ruled out through tonight, and squirrelly winds along the frontal
zone mean that tornado chances do exist. But, with marginal
instability and weak lapse rates, the overall threat is very low.

Late tonight, the low level boundary will begin to lift northward
as a low pressure system cranks up over the Mid Ms Valley. This
will lift the heavier showers north of our area by daybreak.
Temperatures will not change much through the night with readings
mostly in the upper 50s and lower 60s.

During the daytime Thursday, most of the area will get into the
warm sector, with gusty south winds over 35 mph at times and
record setting temperature well into the 70s. A wind advisory may
be needed for a few gusts over 40 mph, and the overnight
forecasters can make that determination.

A band of showers with some heavy downpours will be moving into
our far west counties late Thursday afternoon ahead of a strong
cold front. The showers and front will sweep across the area
mainly Thursday evening with rainfall averaging around one half
inch.

Friday will be a shocker, with highs around 35 degrees colder
than Thursday's highs. Friday night will be clear and cold with
lows in the teens and lower 20s. Dry and chilly wx sticks around
Saturday as well.

Just as quick as winter makes a return for Friday and Saturday,
early spring will start to return again on Sunday. Rainy and mild
wx is expected for the first half of next week. Rain totals of 2
to 3 inches are expected, which could lead to flooding concerns
across the area.

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

CKV/BNA/MQY/CSV...Terminals forecast reasoning philosophy
centered around being as descriptive as possible but not
overusing multiple FM and Tempo groups, thus trying to make most
concise forecast possible. Thus, several amendments per minor to
moderate fluctuations in visibility, ceilings, wind direction and
wind speed probable at individual terminals thru 07/18Z. Ceiling
should generally persist at high end MVFR transitioning to IFR
thresholds after 07/00Z. LIFR ceilings should be predominate CSV
thru 07/18Z. However, with CSV ceilometer continuing non
operations status, AMD NOT SKED continues. VFR vsbys should slowly
deterioate into predominate MVFR thresholds thru 07/18Z. Sly sfc
10-15kt sustained winds expected thru 07/18Z. As sfc gradient
influences enhance, especially after 07/12Z, gusts 20 to 30kts
possible.
