Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 231 PM CDT Thu Jul 28 2022 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Friday Night) Issued at 156 PM CDT Thu Jul 28 2022 Isolated showers and storms have developed this afternoon and will continue to do so through the afternoon. Enough instability and deep layer shear are in place for some strong to severe storms capable of producing damaging wind gusts as well. The main threat remains heavy rain and flooding potential with high PWAT values of 2 inches or higher now into the weekend. A cold front to our north will continue to move southward, and CAMs have activity ahead of the front moving in later this evening and overnight. Mean wind is generally 15 knots or greater, so the storms should move fast enough to not pose a flooding threat themselves, but, with near easterly storm motion nearly parallel to the orientation of the front, its the training of multiple showers and storms that will pose the flooding threat. This is especially true tonight and through the day Friday as the front continues southward. Soundings show high freezing levels around 16kft and continued instability overnight, allowing for the potential to see strong updrafts and efficient heavy rain producing storms putting down 1 to 3 inches of rain per hour rainfall rates. Any location that sees multiple rounds of heavy rain from stronger storms passing through will be at a higher risk for flooding from this afternoon through the day Friday. Tonight and into the morning hours Friday CAMs really focus on the northern half of the mid state, and have activity develop southward just ahead of the front during the day Friday. As long as the front continues to move southward during the day, the training of storms should be more isolated, but if the front stalls a bit, the training and flooding risk will increase. Will definitely have to keep an eye on CAM trends and where the front sets up tonight for flooding potential. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday through next Thursday) Issued at 156 PM CDT Thu Jul 28 2022 On Saturday another shortwave will approach the area and increase precip chances during the day. The cold front from tonight and Friday's system should move further south, but if it stalls near our area, parts of the southern mid state may see additional rainfall. Sunday is showing a similar story with a shortwave moving in from the northwest, and yet another wave keeping in high precip chances for Monday. When its all said and done, we are still looking at an additional 1 to 3 inches of rain across the area, with some locations possibly seeing up to 5 inches if multiple rounds of heavier rain fall over isolated areas. Lingering precip chances hold on Tuesday, but high pressure tries to win out for the remainder of the long term and unfortunately bring the warmer temps back. Currently have highs in the mid 90s returning Wednesday and Thursday with some drier weather making its return as well. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1210 PM CDT Thu Jul 28 2022 Scattered cells are popping rapidly across Middle Tennessee, so we've included TEMPO showers for the next few hours to handle the increase in convective activity. Overnight, a more organized line of showers and thunderstorms looks to sweep through the mid state. Showers may even extend into the morning hours with some lingering MVFR ceilings. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
