.DISCUSSION...

If you haven't stepped out into the sauna today, don't. You aren't
missing anything. We're already into the 90s in many places and with
dew points around 70, Heat Index values are close to 100 degrees. Cu
fields are well developed and a few pinhead showers are showing up
on radar over the Plateau at forecast time. Additional development
is expected as we get later into the afternoon and should persist in
the early evening hours, until we can lose most of today's heating.
Any convection we can get going will have the potential for gusty
winds and brief heavy rains, but the upper ridge may win out for the
most part, keeping most everything pretty tame.

If you didn't already know, a tropical depression developed off the
South Carolina coast this morning and just about every model has it
pushing inland towards Middle TN overnight. While it's not going to
bring us tropical winds or anything of the sort tomorrow, it should
at least provide us with what we're missing today -- a weakness
aloft and at least *some* lift. For this reason, I'll carry a higher
PoP tomorrow than we've seen the last couple of days, but without
any shear, we're not expecting anything organized.

Wednesday should be back to something similar to today, but then
Thursday rolls around and we start to see the influences of a cold
front pushing towards the mid-state. Showers and thunderstorms
should become more widespread, helping to cool us off and bring us
some MUCH needed rainfall. As far as strength goes, no model is
suggesting severe at this point, especially with 20-25 kts of bulk
shear and double digit helicities, but I suppose with diurnal
heating and the lift of the front, one or two storms could become
strong Thursday afternoon/evening.

Frontal passage isn't actually until Friday, so higher PoPs will
carry overnight Thursday into the day on Friday and once the front
passes through here, there should be some relief from the higher
temperatures and humidity over the 4th of July weekend. Models still
aren't in great agreement regarding cloud cover for Sunday, though.
GFS lingers an upper low in our vicinity (which could keep some
lower cloud cover in the area) and the Euro pushes the front through
without the upper system (meaning no cloud cover for fireworks).
Plenty of time to work out those details it being 6 days out. Either
way, we should be dry for Independence Day festivities here in
Middle TN.

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

A weakening tropical depression will be moving across northern Ga
by the latter portions of the taf period. This could bring a few
tstms to the taf areas aft 18Z. However...the shorter term models
indicating only isolated to perhaps scattered coverage. Thus, no
more than vcts will be included. Otw, isolated convection will
weaken early this evening and be a non-player. Some light fog
possible near CSV late. Strong mid/upper level high over the mid
Atlantic states is helping to provide the northwesterly storm
motion.
