Area forecast discussion, Jun 6, 2:04 PM CDT, 2 hours 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 204 PM CDT Mon Jun 6 2022 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Tuesday Night) Issued at 131 PM CDT Mon Jun 6 2022 Showers and storms continue to move east into the mid state ahead of the upper shortwave trough that will bring additional showers and storms through the overnight hours. CAPE values will be highest across the western half of the area, and deep layer shear continues to trend upward this afternoon into the evening. Strong to severe thunderstorms will be possible, with the main threat being damaging wind gusts. Low level shear is strong as well, so cant rule out tornado potential this afternoon and evening either. Ahead of a weak cold front associated with this upper wave tonight, another band of showers and storms will be possible. Some instability does look to remain overnight, so strong to severe storm potential will remain, but also added moisture with high PWAT values around 2 inches will allow for a flooding threat as well. CAMs are highlighting areas along and north of I-40 for heavy rain potential, but everywhere in the mid state will need to be weather aware this afternoon through tomorrow morning for flooding potential with heavy rain, and strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds and maybe even a tornado or two. Another weaker shortwave will move through during the day Tuesday, but it looks like we will have a short break in the rain Tuesday morning. Diurnal heating as well as the approaching wave will increase precip chances during the afternoon and into the evening. Strong to severe storms may be possible if instability can increase during the afternoon hours, but that will depend on how much coverage and how long the rain lasts during the morning hours after sunrise Tuesday morning. Another shortwave will be right on the heels of the earlier Tuesday shortwave trough, so rain chances look to continue Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through next Monday) Issued at 131 PM CDT Mon Jun 6 2022 Wednesday looks to start with ongoing showers and a few thunderstorms as the shortwave approaches and the Midwest broad trough continues to develop and swing eastward. Best chances for showers and thunderstorms on Wednesday still looks to be during the afternoon to early evening, yet again with some instability and shear in place, so more strong to severe storms will be possible then as well. Drier conditions should move in on Thursday, maybe with isolated showers in the south and east, as northwest flow moves in aloft. That wont last long though as a strong shortwave moves through the upper flow and brings showers and thunderstorms in Friday afternoon and evening, possibly carrying into the early morning hours Saturday. Most of the instability stays to our south, but if that CAPE creeps northward with the next model runs through the week, we could have another strong to severe storm threat Friday afternoon and evening. Saturday may be dry for the northwest, but some lingering showers could hold in the south and east during the day. Northwest flow and an approaching ridge will start off Sunday and next week, with a much welcomed drier period. The upper high in the Plains does not move as far east as previous runs, so the hot temps stay off to our west, but still expecting highs in the 90s Tuesday and Wednesday. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1205 PM CDT Mon Jun 6 2022 VFR conditions will continue into this afternoon, but waves of showers and thunderstorms will bring impacts, especially this evening and overnight. A few severe storms are possible and local very heavy rain is expected. Southerly winds will be gusty near 20KT at times today. Stronger gusts over 40KT are likely in and near storms. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
