.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 535 AM CST Sat Feb 15 2025

- Significant flooding is expected today, particularly across
  northwest Middle Tennessee. River flooding and flash flooding
  are likely.

- A line of strong to severe thunderstorms will move through
  tonight. Damaging winds and tornadoes will be the main threats.
  Severe threat is greatest for areas west of I-24.

- Temperatures fall well below-normal next week with snow possible
  during the Wednesday-Thursday time frame.

.SHORT TERM...
(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 144 AM CST Sat Feb 15 2025

Today will be a very active weather day across Middle Tennessee.
Rain and thunderstorms have entered extreme northwest middle TN
this morning and this will be the start of numerous hours of
moderate to heavy rainfall over that area. A large temperature
inversion noted at 850mb on the 00Z sounding shows warm air
advection has started ushering warm, moist air into the area,
setting the stage for both a flood and severe thunderstorm risk
today.

Flooding: 00Z CAMs have shifted the axis of highest QPF values a bit
further southeast, showing potentially significant rainfall totals
of 5 to 7 inches over the northwest. There is a little bit of
variance amongst the models in the spatial extent of the swath of
highest QPF, but if you live in northwest Middle Tennessee,
really even in the upper left quadrant of the mid state, please
stay aware of your surroundings today, have multiple ways to
receive warnings, and if you encounter flood waters while driving,
TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN! Rainfall amounts dwindle down as go
further southeast, with the rest of middle Tennessee getting
anywhere from 1 to 3 inches today.

Severe potential: A number of the 00Z CAMs have come in a bit more
bullish with instability. I am inclined to say the overall severe
threat has slightly increased if this remains the case. Looking at
soundings from the 00Z HRRR around 6 PM tonight, MUCAPE values are
around 600 J/Kg with SBCAPE around 200-300 J/Kg. Bulk shear is near
65 kts with storm relative helicity values over 500 m2/s2. All of
this would point a damaging wind and tornado risk. Most of the CAMs
keep convection confined to the QLCS only, but the HRRR does
populate a few discrete cells immediately ahead of the line. If
any outflows are able to kick out ahead of the main line and
there's enough instability, it is entirely possible that a few
strong to severe thunderstorms could develop. The tornado threat
would likely be greater in discrete cells with more of a damaging
wind risk with the QLCS. As of now, it looks like the main line
will cross the Tennessee River sometime after 7 to 8 PM and work
east through the area, exiting around midnight. Areas generally
west of I-24 have the greatest chance of seeing severe impacts,
both with the line and if any cells develop ahead of the line.
Given the curved hodographs, abundant shear, and the possibility
of increased instability, the primary hazards within the line will
be damaging winds with the chance for embedded tornadoes along
the leading edge of the line.

Behind the front, winds will increase due to a tight pressure
gradient moving over the area. Areas along the Cumberland Plateau
could see gusts up to 40mph overnight into Monday. As such, we
have issued a wind advisory for the Cumberland Plateau that will
begin at midnight tonight and go through noon Sunday.

Temperatures will drop back well below-normal behind the front.
As the surface low exits off to the northeast, some lingering
wrap-around moisture could squeeze out a few snow showers, mainly
over our northeast counties on Sunday afternoon. No accumulation
is expected.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Sunday Night through next Saturday)
Issued at 144 AM CST Sat Feb 15 2025

We will have a small window of time to dry out the remainder of
Sunday through most of Tuesday. Models are picking up on another
deep trough setting up across that west that could bring our next
precipitation chances to the area, likely in the form of snow given
how cold temperatures will be. It is still far too early to talk
amounts, but there has been a consistent signal amongst the GFS,
Euro, and Canadian that we will likely see snow by the middle of
next week. Temperatures in the extended will be as much as 20
degrees below normal with highs in the 20s/30s and overnight lows
in the teens to single digits.

.AVIATION...
(12Z TAFS)
Issued at 535 AM CST Sat Feb 15 2025

Poor flying conditions today at all terminals as a strong cold
front pushes through the area this evening. Moderate to heavy rain
is ongoing and will continue through most of this taf cycle. Low-
level wind shear has been mentioned in the taf at all sites with
2kft winds near 45 knots. Surface winds will primarily be gusting
out of the south through most of the day. A line of showers and
thunderstorms will move from west to east through the area after
00Z. This will bring an increase in wind gusts near 35 to 40 kts
with heavy rainfall.

Cigs will remain below VFR conditions through the entire taf
period with periodic bouncing between MVFR/IFR. Heavy rainfall
will reduce vis to IFR thresholds at times.
