...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM...

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Friday Night)
Issued at 122 PM CDT Thu Jul 7 2022

A weak surface boundary has developed over Middle Tennessee this
afternoon, and this is combining with the heat and high moisture
to produce numerous cells across the mid state, much like what we
experienced yesterday afternoon in terms of coverage. Instability
parameters are almost identical to those observed yesterday, and
PWAT this morning was a robust 2.01". POP's will increase further
on Friday as the excessive heat/heat advisory criteria continue
to be met. There is a slight risk of severe storms for most of
Middle Tennessee today with a marginal risk in play tomorrow.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday through next Thursday)
Issued at 122 PM CDT Thu Jul 7 2022

Likely POP's can be expected on Saturday for most of Middle
Tennessee as a slow-moving east-west surface boundary moves
southward across the region. This will lower temperatures to near
normal value beginning on Saturday and lasting through the
weekend. However, readings will start to creep back up starting on
Monday, even though it looks to be dry. But rain chances will
start back up on Tuesday. However, look for temperatures to
moderate later in the week with a second fropa possible Wednesday
or Wednesday night and lower POP's later in the week owing to an
air mass change.

&&

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1258 PM CDT Thu Jul 7 2022

Scattered TSRA will plague KBNA and KMQY reducing visibilities
due to heavy rain through at least 20Z. Beyond that time frame,
continued with VCTS for KCKV, KBNA, and KMQY as scattered TSRA
develops and moves across Middle Tennessee. KCSV is a little more
uncertain when it comes to timing and location of TSRA, but think
it should be after 20Z. Beyond 02Z, think VFR Conditions will
return.
