NWS Nashville, TN wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 6, 1:50 PM CST, 25 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN 250 PM CDT WED JUN 6 2001 THIS FORECAST PACKAGE IS FULL OF UNCERTAINTIES...ESPECIALLY REGARDING TIMING FOR GREATEST LIKELIHOOD OF THUNDERSTORMS. MODELS ARE USEFUL FOR THE OVERALL PATTERN...BUT DETAILS ARE NOT RELIABLE. MAIN CONCERN THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WILL BE HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT AS PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOP IN AN INCREASINGLY TROPICAL AIR MASS. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES FROM 1.5-2.0 INCH WILL BE COMMON ACCORDING TO MODELS...AND EVEN HIGHER IN OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES. THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN WILL BE MENTIONED IN THE ZONE FORECASTS. FLASH FLOOD WATCHES MAY NEED TO BE CONSIDERED BY UPCOMING SHIFTS. FOR NOW...TIMING AND OCCURRENCE IS FAR TOO UNCERTAIN. BEST GUESS FOR FLOODING ISSUES...SOUTHERN HALF OF MID TN LATE AFTERNOON THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT. SOUTHERN ZONES HAVE ALREADY HAD WATER PROBLEMS WITHIN THE PAST WEEK AND ARE MOST RIPE FOR AGGRAVATION. ON THE SURFACE MAP...TROPICAL LOW WAS OVER LFK IN EAST TX. PERSISTENT BOUNDARY EXTENDED FROM THE MID ATLANTIC...ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY TO KS. A WAVE WAS ALONG THE FRONT WITH A TROF EXTENDING FROM SOUTH IN TO THE MO BOOTHEEL. ONE BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTH GA TO THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU...BEING ENHANCED BY TERRAIN. ANOTHER AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COVERED NORTHWEST MID TN INTO WEST KY. THIS AREA WAS BEING SUPPORTED BY THE SURFACE TROF. FOR TONIGHT...THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE AHEAD OF THE SURFACE TROF...AFFECTING MAINLY KY AND INTO OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES THIS EVENING. OTHERWISE...CANNOT PIN DOWN SIGNIFICANT FEATURE FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTION. WILL GO WITH "SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS" WORDING AND AROUND 40 POPS. BEYOND TONIGHT...MODELS DIFFER GREATLY WITH QPF FIELDS. AVN MODEL WANTS TO RUSH FRONT THROUGH THE AREA TOO QUICKLY. ETA MAY BE TOO SLOW. LEANING TOWARD A LITTLE SLOWER PASSAGE THAN PREVIOUS FORECAST. DO NOT SEE A BIG "PUSH" FOR THE FRONT...AND TROPICAL SYSTEM MAY SLOW PASSAGE. IT SEEMS THAT WITH EACH SUCCESSIVE FORECAST PACKAGE WE HAVE ADDED RAIN CHANCES TO ANOTHER PERIOD OF THE FORECAST. WELL...THAT TREND WILL CONTINUE. HOPEFULLY THE FRONT WILL BE THROUGH THE AREA BY THE END OF FRIDAY? WILL CARRY HIGHER THAN GUIDANCE POPS FOR THURSDAY AND ESPECIALLY THURSDAY NIGHT WHEN VERY MOIST AIR WILL MEET UP WITH INCREASED LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG APPROACHING FRONT. WILL ADD MORNING CHANCES FOR THE NORTH FRIDAY...AND ALL DAY CHANCE ACROSS THE SOUTH. THE WEEKEND/EXTENDED OUTLOOK WILL BRING BETTER WEATHER. ALTHOUGH CANNOT RULE OUT A PERIOD OF SHOWERS IN THE ENTENDED AS THE REGION WILL BE UNDER TRICKY NORTEHWEST FLOW ALOFT. PRELIM NUMBERS... BNA TE 069/082 067/083 063 4683 CSV TE 064/078 063/079 058 4684 .BNA...NONE. SH
