.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 1221 PM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025

- Better rain chances Today and Tomorrow, but medium to high
  thunderstorm chances return for the second half of the week. The
  severe weather threat is low.

- Localized flash flooding, frequent lightning, and gusty winds will
  be possible with storms this week.

- Heat indices will reach the upper 90s to low 100s today through
  Tuesday across most of Middle Tennessee west of the Cumberland
  Plateau, with the heat easing up starting on Wednesday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Rest of today through Tuesday)
Issued at 1152 AM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025

Medium rain chances continue through tomorrow evening. Temperatures
rise into the low 90s with heat index values creeping into the low
100s west of the Plateau. Scattered storms have already begun to
develop across the CWA. Any of these storms have the potential to
lead to localized flooding as PWAT values are near 1.5" across the
mid-state. Any of these storms are also capable of producing
frequent lightning, and wind gusts up to 50mph. Remain weather aware
and monitor the radar if you have any outdoor plans today. Storm
activity is expected to end between 9-11pm. Patchy fog begins to
develop overnight into the early morning hours, especially for areas
that receive rain today.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday Night through next Monday)
Issued at 1152 AM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025

As high pressure begins to move out of the area, we enter into an
unsettled weather pattern through the end of the week. Rain chances
begin to increase Wednesday through the weekend as an upper level
trough moves into our area from the Northwest. The best time for
thunderstorm development is late morning through early evening.
The threat for severe weather remains low. However, any storm that
develops will have the potential to produce gusty winds and heavy
rainfall that can lead to localized flooding. Temperatures will
start to relax to seasonal averages throughout the rest of the
week.

&&

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1221 PM CDT Mon Jul 7 2025

Showers and thunderstorms have developed across the area a little
ahead of schedule today. We currently have TSRA impacting BNA,
MQY, and SRB; these TAFs have TEMPOs as a result. Additional
convection is possible throughout the afternoon which could impact
any airfield. Winds favor a SW or WSW direction at 5-8 kts through
the afternoon hours. Storms could cause brief wind gusts in
addition to brief reduction in visibility. Conditions calm during
the evening with VFR expected. Weather conditions tomorrow
afternoon will be very similar to that of today.
