Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 632 AM CST Tue Feb 22 2022 .UPDATE... FOR 12Z AVIATION DISCUSSION. && .DISCUSSION... Latest surface analysis depicts a rather moist airmass in place across the mid state this morning. Dewpoints are generally in the 50s. The earlier rainfall has moved on off to the east but it did manage to put down up to an inch of rainfall across northwestern areas. Latest radar trends do support an overall break in the widespread activity through the morning hours. Should start to see some scattered convection begin to work into western areas in the afternoon. That said, we will undergo some destabilization in the afternoon. As the stronger forcing reaches the area in the mid to late afternoon, we could see some strong to severe tstms with straight line wind damage being the main threat. The timing for the severe weather potential will be 2p to 5p northwest, 4p to 7p central zones, 6p to 10p Plateau. As for the flood potential, The heaviest rainfall looks like it will occur across central and especially southeastern areas. Forcing will increase in the late afternoon and will combine with the added instability. Pwat values are on the high side for this time of year so the moisture is there. However, the models have backed down some from overall qpf amounts. Furthermore, the periphery does not show any significant gradients with the exception of that part of KY closest to the OH river. Therefore, will let the flood watch continue as is, but will remove the locally higher totals north of the 2-3 inch expected amounts. Took a look at a potential wind advisory for today. We do get some reasonable subsidence through 18Z so will see some definitive wind gusts. Overall however, it looks like sustained winds of 15-25 mph with gusts up to 35mph. This is just below advisory criteria. Moving on, the showers and tstms will move out just after 12Z on Wednesday and will provide a brief lull in the activity before the next system. The southerly component within the upper levels will establish itself in the post frontal sector and we will see a surface trough develop over the northwestern Gulf with overrunning precip quickly spreading northward. The 850 mb front will set up across our area and provide some strong overrunning Wed nt into Thu. As surface energy reaches the area on Thursday night we will see rainfall continue. 1 to 2 inches of additional rainfall cannot be ruled out for the Wed nt through Thu nt period. For the near term temps, Mild temps today and then turning more seasonal behind the fropa on Wednesday into Thursday. In the ext fcst, The subtropical jet will continue to be active on Friday following the Thu nt fropa. Surface energy will develop along the northern Gulf and spread moisture our way once again. Colder air feeding into the system does not look cold enough for any consequential snowfall. We could see some light snow on the back edge of the moisture Saturday night. But overall, the sufficiently cold air does not catch up to the deeper precip producing moisture. At any rate, liquid precip amounts look like around one tenth of an inch northwest to up to one half inch southeast. Temps though the extended period will run around 5 to 10 degree below normal. && .AVIATION... 12Z TAF DISCUSSION. CKV/BNA/MQY/CSV...Multiple admendments likely due to actual ceiling/vsby/terminal weather fluctuations thru 23/12Z. Of particular note, LLWS at all terminals with speed shear approaching 50-55kts at top of 2 Kft layer CKV/BNA/MQY thru 22/18Z. Shwrs/tstms should prevail across terminals thru much of forecast period. Mixture of MVFR/IFR ceilings thru 23/12Z. Sly prevailing sfc winds 10-15kts with gusts to 30kt at times. Gust possible CKV to 50kts with potential of svr tstms at CKV until at least 22/17Z. Can not rule out this svr tstm potential for other terminals but specifics on timing presently not detailed enough to mention in either TEMPO or prevailing Group. Surface cold frontal passage will result in winds veering from S/SW to NW at terminals 23/00Z-23/12Z. && .OHX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
