.UPDATE...
FOR MORNING DISCUSSION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

Showers and thunderstorms continue to rumble across the Mid State
this morning, with more streaming northeast out of MS/north AL.
Instability remains greatest across our southern counties,
reflected by a good bit of lightning and heavier rain rates there.
Reports of street flooding are becoming more prevalent, too, as
rain moves across some of the same locations. Areas north of I-40
and west of I-24 are already seeing an end to the heavier
rainfall, and this drying trend will slowly spread eastward later
this morning into the afternoon. Hi-res guidance pushes the main
swath of rain east of I-65 by late afternoon/early evening, so the
forecast was tweaked to reflect this slightly faster solution.

High temperatures were adjusted down a degree or so in spots to
reflect rain and cloud cover persistence through the day.
Otherwise, the forecast remains in good shape.

&&

.AVIATION...
06Z TAF DISCUSSION.

BNA/MQY/CKV/CSV...A warm front will continue lifting northward
across Middle Tennessee, allowing winds to switch around to the
south and increase our warm advection overnight. Ceilings have
settled into the IFR/MVFR range, and will stay there the remainder
of tonight and most of tomorrow before a cold front sweeps through
late tomorrow and tomorrow evening and clears us out.
