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 Apr 13, 6:39 PM CDT, 2 hours 14 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 13, 6:39 PM CDT, 2 hours 14 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Nashville TN
639 PM CDT Wed Apr 13 2022

.UPDATE...
FOR EVENING DISCUSSION.

&&

.DISCUSSION...

Updated suite of forecasts products per Tornado Watch Number 125
in effect until 10 PM CDT. Tweaked hourly temperature, dewpoint,
and wind speed/direction grids blending them with associated
previously forecasted hourly gridded values. Remainder of
forecast continues to be on track.

&&

.AVIATION...
00Z TAF DISCUSSION.

Severe thunderstorms will be possible through this evening as a
band of thunderstorms moves west to east ahead of a cold front.
Look for mainly MVFR with IFR in the downpours. Winds will be
very gusty as the storms approach with south winds gusting over
30KT at times. Late evening frontal passage will sweep out the
rain and storms and cause winds to become northwest. Some post-
frontal low cigs (MVFR/IFR) will linger for several hours, perhaps
until 12Z. After 12Z Thursday, high pressure will bring quickly
clearing skies and light winds.
