Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 527 PM CST Sat Jan 11 2020 .UPDATE... FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION. && .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. && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && DISCUSSION......21 AVIATION........Unger
