.DISCUSSION...

Back edge of the precipitation shield now extends from CKV southward
through Waynesboro. The main line of tstms is now working across the
Plateau. The tornado watch remains in effect for our far
southeastern counties through 8 pm. Although, it appears that that
watch will likely be cancelled once the line clears our area, in a
couple of hours from now. Still looking at isol thunder to the west
of the main line. Helicity values still remain elevated in that se
corner, so we are not out of the woods just yet.

It looks as though the convection should end across our Plateau
around 8 pm or so. Will definitely utilize the option to include a
pre first period giving the ramping down nature of the activity.

Otw, clouds to persist overnight. As for the wind advisory, a few of
the models still lean toward some subsidence as the rain shuts off.
this could mix down some higher winds again late this afternoon.
Thus, the plan will be to allow the wind advisory to continue
through 00Z as planned.

Moving on, the upcoming replacement airmass will be colder than it
has been. However, we are still looking at above normal
temperatures. Southerly upper level component will remain active and
thus, shower activity will lift back to the north by Monday night.
Additionally, we will have enough instability for tstm inclusion.
The active weather will stick around through Wednesday when a
stronger cold front approaches. The good news is that qpf amounts
dont look to be too worrisome. Maybe a half inch or so from Mon nt
through Wed.

High temps by late in the week will fall to near normal levels. This
will be short lived however as a frontal boundary takes aim on the
mid state by saturday with the sfc energy being focused well to our
north.

&&

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

A thin line of showers moving across Middle TN at issuance could
cause brief gusty winds to 35 kts at KBNA/KMQY in the next hour.

Otherwise, look for mainly MVFR conditions overnight with
possibly some IFR around sunrise. Clouds should start to clear out
by late morning and while I haven't indicated this in this set of
TAFs, will wait for this evening's suite of models to come in.

Winds will remain breezy until around midnight when 5-10 kts will
become more common. Wind shift will also occur overnight as the
actual front pushes through Middle TN.
