Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 220 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2023 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This afternoon through Monday Night) Issued at 143 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2023 Primary focus remains the severe threat for this afternoon and evening. Instability is on the rise, with strong WAA behind the warm front to our north. Cold front remains out to the west, and should start developing additional convection west of the area soon. Line of storms expected to move in the northwest part of the area around 3-4p, Nashville area around 5-7p, and weakening later in the evening as it moves out of the area around 9 or 10p. As mentioned in earlier discussions, cold front/cold pool driven storms may move a bit faster, so times can always change, so need to remain weather aware today. Main threat remains damaging wind gusts, but first strong storm of the afternoon went up fast just north of Nashville, and showed a strong hail signature, indicating that drier air aloft and steep lapse rates are indeed in place ahead of the cold front. So large hail will also be a threat this afternoon into the early evening. Plenty of moisture will also allow for some heavy rainfall, so cant rule out some heavy rainfall as well. Low level shear/helicity remains on the weaker side, so the tornado threat is low, but not zero. Monday looks to be dry, but upper trough over the Midwest will allow for some additional showers and storms to develop with a shortwave mainly for the southern zones on Monday night/Tuesday. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through next Sunday) Issued at 143 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2023 As that upper trough slowly moves east, additional showers and storms will be possible Wednesday, but models continue to focus on the southern half of the area. Isolated convection will be possible on Thursday, with models mainly keeping us between shortwaves so not expecting more scattered showers and storms. Models and even ensembles really spread out late next week, with the only agreement that we stay in this active pattern and keeping chances for showers and storms into next weekend. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1229 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2023 Already we are seeing widely scattered convection pop up in this afternoon's pre-frontal air mass. Winds have increased considerably from the SW, and will continue that way until after this evening's fropa. We don't expect much additional activity until a squall line comes through Middle Tennessee with the front during the late afternoon and early evening. The HRRR has been very consistent in its timing throughout the morning, and we have been able to narrow the window to 1-2 hours for each of our terminals. Look for some lingering light showers after the initial line of convection comes through, with ceilings lowering to MVFR/IFR for several hours following the fropa. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
