The local office's own words before this special weather statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Nashville, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this special weather statement went out at Apr 24, 2:36 PM CDT, 1 hour 52 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 24, 2:36 PM CDT, 1 hour 52 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 236 PM CDT Sat Apr 24 2021 .DISCUSSION... Showers are beginning to develop along the surface low which is centered over the western part of the CWA. Current RAP analysis shows 500-1000 J/kg of MLCAPE over the southwestern third of the CWA with mid level lapse rates between 7-7.5 degrees Celsius. HRRR has continued to show some storms developing in the next hour or two. Right now, no thunder has been noted with echo tops only around 22 kft. Thinking has not changed much in regards to severe potential. One or two storms could be strong with gusty winds and small hail. The activity will move to the west by 03z leaving Middle Tennessee dry for the next several days. We will start a warming trend tomorrow and temperatures for most of the area will be in the 80s by Monday. Strong upper ridging will develop on Monday with surface high pressure off the east coast of the Carolinas. I bumped highs up a degree or two from NBM Tuesday and Wednesday which could allow some locations to creep into the mid 80s both days. Euro and GFS are not on the same page with the system that approaches late Wednesday. GFS has a more progressive solution while the Euro hangs the southern trough behind the northern stream. Both solutions keep the bulk of the rain out of the area until Thursday, but the GFS solution would produce more rain than the Euro solution. In fact, the trough would not clear our area until late next weekend according to the Euro solution while the GFS solution has a nice weekend in store for us. Given the discrepancy, forecast confidence is low from Thursday onward. && .AVIATION... 18Z TAF DISCUSSION. A mix of VFR/MVFR/IFR cigs will affect airports this afternoon as additional -SHRA and VCTS move across the area. All rain should end by 25/00Z with MVFR cigs at BNA/MQY overnight and IFR/LIFR cigs with MVFR vis at CKV/CSV. East to southeast winds this afternoon will switch to northwest later this afternoon into the evening as an area of low pressure shifts eastward through the region. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
