.DISCUSSION...

Chances for showers and storms will continue this afternoon and
evening as a weak upper trough and associated boundary move to the
southeast. We look to get a break in the showers overnight, but
fog again looks likely to develop with calm winds and partly
cloudy skies, especially northern zones. Chances for showers and
storms return on Tuesday from the south with another weak
shortwave, but looks to mainly impact southern and eastern zones
mid morning through the afternoon. Again with slow storm motions,
and plenty of moisture, showers and storms this afternoon and
tomorrow will have the potential for heavy rain and localized
flooding.

On Wednesday, the upper high over the Plains will continue to
strengthen, and slowly work its way south and east. 850 mb temps
climb to 20C-22C, and highs at the surface will be in the mid 90s
for most, and up to around 98 in metro areas. Thursday looks to be
the hottest day of the week as the upper high extends its reach
over the region, and currently have a high of 99 in at Nashville.
We have not hit 100 degrees since 2012, so getting to that 100
threshold will be tough. Dewpoints per some model guidance suggest
mid 60s, which relatively speaking is on the drier side, but may
be enough to allow the clear skies/abundant sunshine to get just a
degree or two more to get to 100. But, most models lean towards
the 97-99 range of high temps for Nashville on Thursday. Heat
index values may exceed 105 and creep a little higher in the
western 2/3 of the mid state.

On Friday another shortwave will move through the upper flow and
bring some relief from the heat with afternoon showers/storms. Not
a dramatic cool off by any means with most of the mid state still
in the low to mid 90s. A series of shortwaves will work through
the upper levels and start to break down the high, and leave us
with northwest flow and continued chances for mainly afternoon
showers and thunderstorms through the weekend. Little by little we
will chip away at afternoon high temps and be around 90 for highs
on Monday.

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

Scattered storms could impact BNA/MQY/CSV this afternoon before
decreasing in coverage this evening. Fog could develop and impact
the terminals near dawn which could decrease vis to MVFR at
BNA/CKV/MQY while CSV could drop to IFR/LIFR. Winds will gradually
shift to the north this evening, but should stay around 5 kts or
less.
