Area forecast discussion, Mar 28, 12:22 PM CDT, 13 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Nashville TN
1222 PM CDT Sun Mar 28 2021

.UPDATE...
FOR 18Z AVIATION DISCUSSION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

Frontal boundary has cleared our area pushing out any remaining
prcp chances. Mostly sunny conditions will continue to fill in
behind, with temps remaining on the cooler side today. While the
prcp has left the area, we continue to experience the lingering
impacts from all of the heavy rainfall over the past 24-30 hours.
Most of the area experienced 2 to 6" with some areas seeing
upwards of 8" to 10" based on radar estimates. Still have a few
flash flood warnings ongoing and will keep the flash flood watch
until those expire. While the flash flood watch/warning will be
expired today, flood advisories and warnings will likely be
ongoing over several days as several rivers are in flood stage.

&&

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

VFR at CKV/BNA/MQY with cigs improving to VFR at CSV within the
next hour or two. VFR conditions will remain in place for the
remainder of the TAF period. Gusty northerly winds will calm down
by 01Z and begin to become more southeasterly by 13Z to 15Z
tomorrow.

.OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
