Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 1242 AM CDT Sat Jul 9 2022 ...New AVIATION... .UPDATE... Issued at 821 PM CDT Fri Jul 8 2022 Heat headlines have been cancelled. Temps have dropped off this evening, especially in areas that have received rain and thunderstorms. A few marginally severe storms occurred this evening across the Upper Cumberland with downed limbs and such, but most of the storms have been sub-severe with heavy downpours, lightning, and wind gusts around 35mph. Activity has been decreasing with sunset, but we do expect things to pick up again through the night. A weak boundary and low pressure wave will approach from the northwest. Even in the late night hours, adequate instability will remain for some "strong" storms, especially across the west half which has not been worked over by storms. Abundant atmospheric moisture will make heavy downpours likely. && .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Saturday Night) Issued at 154 PM CDT Fri Jul 8 2022 A few showers and thunderstorms have started to pop up early this afternoon ahead of the shortwave trough and cold front that will move through later this evening. Plenty of moisture exists at the surface, with afternoon dewpoints in the low to mid 70s across the area. CAMs show isolated activity this afternoon and early evening before a larger cluster of storms moves in during the mid evening in the north and spreads to the southeast through the early overnight hours. Models are still showing a bit of a difference in timing, which is to be expected due to differences in the speed of the front/evolution of the cold pool and outflow from the convection this evening. Larger scale models show a decline in the instability this evening into the overnight hours, while CAMs still show decent CAPE in the 500 to 1500 J/kg range. Deep layer shear does pick up slightly, but still on the weaker side, so with any strong to severe storms the main threat will be damaging wind gusts and some hail. All models show very high PWAT values in the 2.25 to 2.5 inch range, so any training of stronger showers and storms or slower progression will provide an isolated flooding threat as well. Showers and storms should be out of the mid state before sunrise Saturday. A deeper trough will try to move southeast on Saturday, and bring a more pronounced front during the day. With northwest flow, models want to place the better chances for showers and storms in the south and east where diurnal support/frontal timing will be better. Instability will be lingering around again ahead of the front, so some strong to severe storms with damaging wind gusts will not be out of the question. Chances for precip should move out during the evening, and be drier overnight with most areas finally seeing lows get into the 60s. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through next Friday) Issued at 154 PM CDT Fri Jul 8 2022 Sunday will see the upper trough move southeast overhead, with some precip chances in the far southeast during the day. Rest of the area should be dry, and a bit cooler, with highs in the low 80s to around 90. But, this cooler trend will be short lived as the trough moves east and a strong Plains high slowly moves east behind. High temps by Tuesday will be in the low to mid 90s. But thankfully, another Midwest trough will move to the southeast Tuesday night into the day Wednesday and provide some additional relief from the heat but also bring chances for showers and thunderstorms on Wednesday. Shortwave disturbances aloft to our south may keep storm chances in the far south on Thursday, but Friday looks to be dry with temperatures around seasonal normals. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1239 AM CDT Sat Jul 9 2022 A complex of storms is moving south out of Kentucky and is expected to impact the terminal overnight. Vis could drop to IFR while storms impact the terminals. More scattered showers and storms are expected on Saturday as a cold front moves through the area. WSW winds will shift to the NNW/N as the front passes the terminals. Behind the front, MVFR cigs will move in for the rest of the taf period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
