.UPDATE...
FOR EVENING DISCUSSION.

.DISCUSSION...

A few pre-Independence Day fireworks across the south already late
this afternoon with several spots seeing trees down and torrential
rainfall. We're not quite done, however. Latest radar trends, as
well as hi-res guidance, suggest the storms in west KY will
continue to push southward into Middle TN over the next several
hours. The good news is that most of the atmospheric energy that
could be used to fuel these storms has been expended. For this
reason, we're only expecting these storms to be 'general' in
nature and sub-severe. Doesn't mean a gust of 40 mph or so isn't
out of the question, but that should be the exception rather than
the rule. If you have evening plans along and west of I-65, bring
an umbrella.

Forecast update out shortly.

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

BNA/MQY/CKV/CSV...Surface ridge is now situated to the immediate
east of Middle Tennessee this evening while an upper trough
approaches from the west. Most of the earlier storms have
diminished so that there is a dearth of echoes in the vicinity of
the terminals. Scattered POP's remain in the forecast this evening
and overnight, and the HRRR does suggest some additional activity
forming and moving across the mid state. Expect stronger
convection late tomorrow morning through the afternoon as the
upper trough slides down the NW flow aloft into Middle Tennessee
and we add some daytime heating. The best time for storms appears
to be Wednesday afternoon, so we'll focus our energies there,
although scattered cells may affect the terminals outside peak-
heating hours. Also, look for MVFR ceilings to develop overnight
and last into the morning owing to this moisture-laden air mass.
