Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Nashville TN 712 PM CDT Fri Jul 3 2026 ...New UPDATE... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 701 PM CDT Fri Jul 3 2026 - Dangerous heat and humidity will continue through Independence Day. - Scattered storms could produce damaging wind gusts, torrential downpours, and small hail during the afternoon and early evening Saturday. - The forecast for next week is not as hot, but very warm and humid with medium chances for showers and storms each day. && .UPDATE... Issued at 701 PM CDT Fri Jul 3 2026 Strong to severe storms developed across Middle TN this afternoon after a day of extreme heating and abundant available moisture. Stratiform rain is setting up now as thunderstorms are mostly limited to the Upper Cumberland this evening, some of which being severe. These storms will continue over the next couple of hours before weakening and eventually diminishing. Elsewhere, showers continue across Middle TN. Latest radar imagery shows a slight decreasing trend in coverage, but overall, showers look to stick around over the next two to three hours. We dry out overnight, and we basically repeat all over again tomorrow. Confidence is low on how widespread storms will be Saturday afternoon, but with temperatures climbing back into the upper 90s and a midlevel shortwave expected to push through, storms will definitely be firing off once again through the afternoon and evening. && .SHORT TERM... (Rest of today through Saturday) Issued at 1050 AM CDT Fri Jul 3 2026 Overall, atmospheric conditions are very similar to yesterday, with perhaps a smidge less instability today. CAMs did a pretty good job yesterday with storms forming along I-65 then drifting westward. Today, they show generally greater coverage of showers and storms area-wide with the main focus along and just east of I-65. Once again, damaging wind gusts, hail, and local flash flooding will be a concern. CAPE will reach 4,000+ with 1,200 DCAPE, above average PW, and mainly cold-pool driven storm motion/development. Storms will die off pretty quickly around sunset. The dangerous heat continues with peak heat index values reaching 105-100 again this afternoon. Tonight will be muggy and uncomfortable with local patchy fog. As we get to Saturday (Independence Day), the upper high will weaken and move eastward. This means temperatures will be a few degrees cooler. Although temps will back off, the heat and humidity combination will keep conditions potentially dangerous with so many people doing outdoors stuff. A Heat Advisory will remain in place til fireworks time. Those outdoor activities will be potentially impacted by scattered storms. Severe parameters do not look as threatening for Saturday, but a few strong storms with gusty winds and downpours will be possible in the heat of the afternoon and early evening. Models suggest the showers and storms may linger a little longer after sunset which isn't great news for fireworks. We will just have to wait and monitor radar trends at the time. && .LONG TERM... (Saturday Night through next Friday) Issued at 1050 AM CDT Fri Jul 3 2026 Heat will back off for next week as the big upper high is replaced with a general weak troughing pattern with some disturbances glancing the area. Temps and humidity will be closer to normal with highs in the mid 80s to low 90s. Expect daily medium shower and storm chances with the highest chances each afternoon and evening. There doesn't appear to be any organized severe threat, but like we've seen the past couple of days, the strongest storms may produce isolated damaging wind gusts, small hail, and very heavy rainfall. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 601 PM CDT Fri Jul 3 2026 Widespread storms continue to impact Middle Tennessee and all TAF sites. Overall intensity has decreased, but new development is near CSV and SRB. Main impacts from RA and TSRA should subside by ~02z. BNA will have lingering RA and VCTS mainly, but improving conditions are being seen on recent METARs. Some patchy fog is possible overnight, but low confidence on development, so is only mentioned in SRB and CSV TAF at this time. Iso/sct TS is forecast again tomorrow afternoon and it will be hot again, so PROB30s are in for all terminals. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
