What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Nashville, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Mar 30, 6:28 PM CDT, 44 minutes earlier.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Nashville TN
628 PM CDT Wed Mar 30 2022

.UPDATE...
FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION.

.DISCUSSION...

Incoming QLCS and strong gradient wind the story for late this
afternoon into tonight. Extremely tight pressure gradient/jet
structure into this evening will produce wind gusts 45-50+ at times,
especially just ahead of the incoming storms. At this point it looks
like heavier rain/storms will cross the TN river around 5-6PM, then
move off the Plateau 12-1AM or so. This intense jet structure giving
us all kinds of high-end shear/helicity, but again instability/CAPE
the questionable issue. Blend of CAMs/operational models continue
to show slice of 100-300J up the TN river later today, but these
numbers fall off quickly toward the east. If we see severe storms,
our southwest looks like the highest probability. But there is at
least a small chance of severe wind gusts/isolated tornadoes into
late evening area-wide. A cold front will be right on this band
of storms heels and will be well east by sunrise tomorrow, with
the trailing upper trough axis east Thu evening. We will see a few
showers linger on the Plateau early Thu morning but that will be
the end for this round for most. There is a hint of some showers
across the west Thu afternoon as the upper trough passes but will
hold off on those for now.

Fri will be dry but another weak upper wave passing on Sat may put
out a few sprinkles, but little if any measurable pcpn is expected.
And we will stay dry Sun and pretty much Mon as well, with a good
cool down coming.

SFC/LL high pressure will break down late Mon, and Mon night/Tue
we are looking at impacts from our next storm system. Tue morning
a warm front will set up to our north and deep moisture ahead an
upper wave will return. And while this warm front will move north
Tues afternoon, another weak low/boundary looks to move over the
mid-south on Wed as well. Thus we are looking at unsettled
weather Tues and Wed. Maybe even a few strong storms if the GFS
pans out.

&&

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

Expect conditions to rapidly deteriorate as storms just to the
west push through the mid-state early this evening. Expect brief
IFR VIS and possible CIGS between 01Z and 05Z at CKV and BNA/MQY,
then between 05Z and 08Z at CSV. Wind gusts should die down after
the storms move through but still push 20kts through most of the
day tomorrow.
