Area forecast discussion, Feb 6, 1:34 AM CST, 7 hours 19 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 134 AM CST Thu Feb 6 2020 .DISCUSSION... A surface boundary is situated along the Cumberland Plateau early this morning, with widespread showers still occurring on the warm side of the front, and only scant activity ongoing farther west. Even though rainfall rates have diminished, the Flood Watch remains in effect until noon today. The models hint at some regeneration by morning, but drier air will work its way in by the afternoon as a surface low develops over East Tennessee or southwest Virginia and pulls the front east of the region. Unfortunately, a strong shortwave will pull into Middle Tennessee Thursday evening, and this time the atmosphere should be cold enough for light snow, especially late Thursday night and early Friday morning. Some accumulation is possible, but amounts should remain under an inch so we'll not consider an advisory at this point. All precipitation is expected to exit the mid state by Friday morning, although a subsequent weak shortwave may bring additional light precipitation to the mid state on Saturday. Next week looks to be messy, with a frontal system bringing more rain to a beleaguered, rain-soaked mid state Monday and Monday evening, then again Wednesday or Wednesday night and possibly into Thursday. Total QPF from today though Thursday night of next week ranges from more than 2 inches around Clarksville to more than 5 inches over parts of the Cumberland Plateau. Temperatures will warm back up next week, so that we'll be in the 60's Wednesday and Thursday. && .AVIATION... 06Z TAF DISCUSSION. Rainfall will continue to lift off to the east overnight. a strong shortwave will be on approach on Thursday with colder air advecting in at all levels. Energy in advance of the shortwave trough will translate into a period of rain and then snow beginning on Thursday evening. The snowfall will spread south and east during the evening and overnight, reaching the CKV area around 7 pm, BNA area around 10 pm and then CSV around midnight. The warm ground will limit accumulations on area runways. But slick spots will develop as lows dip into the upper 20s for many areas. Otw, snowfall accumulation, mainly on grassy areas will reach up to a half inch across the north and up to 1 inch across the Plateau. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
