...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM...

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Thursday Night)
Issued at 117 PM CDT Wed Jul 6 2022

Weak high pressure remains the dominant meteorological feature at
the surface across Middle Tennessee, but the presence of a moist
environment and a weak shortwave aloft are combining with the
runaway surface temperatures to produce more widespread
convection already today than we've seen in past days. Expect
more of the same tomorrow as we are anticipating little air mass
change. Heat indices will likely put us back in warning criteria
again tomorrow, and existing instability parameters should stay in
place, so we'll go with scattered to likely POP's for tomorrow
afternoon during peak heating. There is also a marginal/slight
risk of severe storms today and again tomorrow.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Friday through next Wednesday)
Issued at 117 PM CDT Wed Jul 6 2022

While the Excessive Heat Warning will last through Friday,
Saturday looks to be less oppressive as a slow-moving surface
boundary is expected to slip through Middle Tennessee (fingers
crossed!). So while this pleasant "cool-down" will in reality
only drop us back down to normal temperatures, POP's will remain
high through Saturday before drier air filters in behind the
fropa. Then temperatures will start to rebound by Monday with
continued above-normal readings at least through Wednesday.

&&

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1222 PM CDT Wed Jul 6 2022

VFR conditions are expected at airports this TAF period although
VCSH/VCTS will impact all terminals the rest of today. Brief MVFR
conditions are possible if a SHRA or TSRA directly moves over the
airport. Light southwest to south winds will continue through the
TAF period.
