Area forecast discussion, Aug 6, 6:34 PM CDT, 2 hours before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 634 PM CDT Tue Aug 6 2019 .UPDATE... FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION. && .DISCUSSION... Radar imagery this afternoon shows a few showers have popped up in the Upper Cumberland and along the Tennessee River, with visible satellite indicated a few other towering cumulus which may develop into showers shortly. Expecting this isolated activity to continue through the afternoon hours, and have expanded slight chance pops to the entire area through 00Z. By this evening, a fairly potent shortwave trough axis and associated weak surface front will shift southeastward out of the Midwest towards Tennessee. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are already forming along this boundary across eastern Missouri and southern Illinois, and this activity will continue southeastward across our area mainly between 03Z to 12Z per all guidance. Latest HRRR and CONSShort model runs are pinging on the highest pops tonight being over the northeast half of our area roughly along and east of I-24, and have kept pops above guidance in the high chance and likely categories - especially across our eastern counties. HREF severe guidance indicates there is at least some potential for a few strong to maybe even a severe storm or two with the activity this evening, mainly across our far northern counties, so cannot rule out a warning or two with damaging winds the main threat. Some locally heavy rainfall will also be possible as storm motions will only be on the order of 20 to 30 mph. Tonight's showers and storms are expected to move out of our forecast area by Wednesday morning, with the afternoon likely dry and a bit cooler due to the morning precip and cloud cover. Precip chances ramp back up Thursday and especially Friday as a decent cold front for early August shifts southward into Middle Tennessee. Cloud cover and fairly widespread precip coverage will keep highs a few degrees cooler on Friday. Airmass behind the front will be a tad cooler but significantly drier and less humid, and low pops shown on the models for Saturday are likely too high. Therefore at least the first half of the upcoming weekend will likely be quite nice for early August. From Sunday onward, 12Z models differ with Euro remaining dry and heating us up quite a bit due to a building upper ridge over Texas, while the GFS keeps us in northwest flow with occasional rounds of showers and storms and temperatures near normal. Will keep low pops and near normal temps going for now until better consensus emerges in the global models. && .AVIATION... 00Z TAF DISCUSSION. Showers and thunderstorms will move through the area this evening through early overnight hours. Have in VCTS but also tempo groups for best timing chances per short term models for each terminal. MVFR/IFR cigs/vis will be possible with stronger showers and storms should they pass over terminals. Fog will be possible as well overnight, along with some lingering light showers, but expecting VFR conditions after sunrise and during the day Wednesday with westerly/northwesterly winds around 10 knots with gusts to around 15 knots. && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && DISCUSSION......Shamburger AVIATION........Barnwell
