Area forecast discussion, Jul 12, 2:27 PM CDT, 4 hours 18 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 227 PM CDT Tue Jul 12 2022 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Wednesday Night) Issued at 213 PM CDT Tue Jul 12 2022 Temperatures continue to climb this afternoon ahead of the approaching cold front, and storms have already begun to develop in KY just ahead of the front. Dewpoints in the low to mid 70s are providing plenty of moisture, and strong instability is in place across the mid state. With the front approaching, additional showers and storms will develop, and have the potential to become strong to severe, with the main threat being damaging wind gusts. PWAT values remain high as well, and some CAMs suggest showers and storms later this evening and overnight may be able to run more east to west, and any training of these storms may lead to some localized flooding concerns. Instability does weaken tonight into the overnight hours, but enough exists ahead of the front to keep chances for stronger storms in the overnight hours. It appears that the front may move a bit further south than previous guidance suggested, which will limit pops to the far south and southeast Wednesday. Should the front stall further north, precip chances will move north as well. Right now the strong to severe storm risk will be further south, but depending on the location of the front, a few strong storms will be possible in the far south Wednesday afternoon. Conditions should be dry Wednesday night as the Midwest trough slowly moves east. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through next Tuesday) Issued at 213 PM CDT Tue Jul 12 2022 Thursday and Friday now look to be dry as the Midwest trough moves east and a Plains high keeps us in northwest flow with little disturbances absent in the pattern. The GFS and ECMWF remain on different solutions from Saturday onward as the GFS brings a shortwave and front over the area Saturday, and the ECMWF remains dry. They both agree that the tropical low phases with a trough to our south, and keeps a lot of the showers and storms associated with that low to the south as well. However, with more of a northwest flow pattern and frequent troughs moving through to our north, both models are suggesting a more active and wetter pattern for next week. Either model doesnt show a wash out by any means, and both have little agreement on timing, but it seems that we will have more chances for rain starting Saturday but especially Sunday and Monday where there is a little bit of agreement. Diurnal forcing will help the weaker upper flow pattern so have slightly higher pops for the afternoon hours. Temps look to be near seasonal normals for at least the first half of the week next week. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1226 PM CDT Tue Jul 12 2022 VFR conditions continue for now, with TSRA/VCTS expected this afternoon and overnight. Periods of decreased vis and cigs possible if thunderstorm moves directly over terminal. Do expect fog to develop overnight at CSV, with IFR vis expected and some LIFR conditions certainly possible between 10Z and 13Z. Westerly winds will become more northerly after 00Z. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
