.DISCUSSION...

Thunderstorms are continuing to develop across West and Middle
Tennessee this afternoon with a few storms bordering on the
strong to severe side. No reports of any damage or severe weather
as of yet, but think we have a window of opportunity especially
for areas near I-65 and west. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in
effect until 9PM for these areas with the main threats being
damaging straight line winds up to 60mph and small hail. Although
it is possible a brief tornado could develop over the next few
hours across western Middle Tennessee. Once the sun sets, the
severe weather threat will wind down with showers and
thunderstorms expected through the overnight hours.

Another round of strong with a few isolated severe thunderstorms
with gusty winds could develop and impact the Plateau Friday
morning, but these should race out the area by mid day leaving
mostly showers in it's place. Friday afternoon and evening will be
somewhat of a cool, cloudy, and rainy setup as the upper low
slowly moves across Middle Tennessee. There's some uncertainty as
to how quickly this upper low and subsequent rainfall will move
out of the forecast area, so think clouds and showers may be slow
to clear out of the area on Saturday. Obviously, the timing will
impact Highs on Saturday, so think this is something that could
easily change with future forecasts.

Sunday and beyond starts a dry warm-up trend as temperatures not
only reach seasonal normals, but many locations will likely hit
the 90 degree mark for the first time this year. Tuesday and
Wednesday may even see a few High Temperature records fall as that
upper ridge really builds over the eastern U.S. By the end of next
week, the above mentioned upper low will retrograde back to the
region and once again impact the weather for Middle Tennessee
during the Friday through weekend time frame. At least it will
give us a break from the record heat.

.AVIATION...
18Z TAF DISCUSSION.

Showers and a few thunderstorms crossing the MS River at issuance
will progress into Middle TN and begin affecting our terminals
later this afternoon. Brief MVFR isn't out of the question if
heavier rain is experienced, but mainly VFR should be seen.
Additional round of storms possible this evening and MVFR should
follow that rain starting around 03Z/Friday.

Southwest winds will be relatively light, with occasional gusts
of less than 20 kts with rains.
